(sydney sweeney, cisfemale) PAIGE BRADLEY, the REVELER, is TWENTY and a JUNIOR. SHE is majoring in GRAPHIC DESIGN. They are not part of the Imperium Society and from the outside, they think it’s FULL OF ASSHOLES. I often see them around campus PISSING OFF THE ADMINISTRATION. They remind me of CHERRY CHAPSTICK, A BLUNT BEHIND HER EAR, SKINNED KNEES, AND SHARPIE MARKER GRAFFITI ON THE DESKS. (kati)

asteria smiled upon the frame of milena ricci as she wandered through the doors, free of the stifling atmosphere within, and welcomed by the cool night air. her fingers were curled around the stem of a wine-glass ( half-empty or half-full ? just now she’d be saying half-empty, to bemoan its lack of content ) as she leant over the balcony.
a distracted brain contemplated the distance between where she stood now, and the ground — wondered how many had thought it, and if any had tried, in the history of this place. whether people thought it now, those who knew quentin and had loved him, those who had never gotten to make amends, any who were tired of the chaos death had wrought upon ashcroft; the boy’s gaping absence, and all that had happened afterward.
the universe seemed to answer her question with the form of odette cromwell, the girl of the moment as it were, even if she would not want to be, approaching the balcony alongside her.
“hey,” she greeted, scooching her skirts out of the way, with another sip at the glass. “i tried to stay out of your hair.” ( it would be the last thing odette would have needed around her parents, and while lena can be crass, she’s rarely completely inconsiderate.)
song

you got: alors on danse by stromae (link)
lena is more of a cynic than she will permit ANYONE to see — she prefers to be people’s sunshine incarnate, to prompt people to have a good time, rather than force them to suffer in the revelation that they’re all drinking or inhaling their problems away. besides, that’d be no good for her, the girl who runs along with the party crowd because she enjoys not seeing the darker edges to the world, especially now.
there’s a couple of lines that really struck me for her (roughly translated):
‘when we say ‘till death do us part’, we say divorce.’ — lena’s parents split when she was young. this is her genuine view on love and marriage, which is difficult when she’s one to fall in love so quickly.
but is it the music or the problems, the problems or the music? it grips your guts and grips your head, you pray for it to end; but it’s your body, this is not heaven — what’s making her head hurt so badly? what secretly makes her feel as though she’s going to die if she smiles to someone’s face one moment longer? is it the mounting pile of people’s problems she’s trying to help, her own, or the blaring music that’s drilling into her skull even as she has her fifth glass of wine? she doesn’t know and maybe she never will.

Chaotic Evil- A chaotic evil character does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. If he is committed to the spread of evil and chaos, he is even worse. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, chaotic evil people can be made to work together only by force, and their leader lasts only as long as he can thwart attempts to topple or assassinate him. Chaotic evil is sometimes called demonic because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Chaotic evil is the best alignment you can be because combines self-interest and pure freedom. However, chaotic evil can be a dangerous alignment because it represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend.

What famous work of art is my muse?
Grey Line with Black, Blue, and Yellow by Georgia O’Keeffe: “You’re deeply in touch with your feminine side (like, SO DEEPLY) and not afraid to show it. You’re able to find beauty and power in even the smallest things. You’re also most likely excellent in bed.”
This sounds fairly accurate, except for perhaps the last part (we’ll see).
