pt. 1 โ pelican town bachelor's ages
โ
Leah is 27, almost 28. She moved to Pelican Town, much like Elliot, to immerse herself in the beauty of nature and small-town living. She went to art school, where she dabbled in all sorts of mixed media, and graduated at 21. Leah worked as a freelance artist for a lot of her 20s, most of those years wasted on Kel. After their gnarly breakup, she was quick to pack up from the city, which was too expensive anyway, and moved to Pelican Town for a fresh start.
โ
Emily is 26. She is six years older than Haley, hence why the two sisters never seem to see eye-to-eye. She attended community college, earning her associate degree in fashion design. Though she was accepted to university, her parents abruptly left home on their never-ending traveling. So Emily moved back to Pelican Town to watch over her sister, then 14-year-old Haley. With a fully developed prefrontal cortex, Emily doesn't worry herself with how she is perceived, unlike Haley. Instead, she busies herself with her passion projects of sewing and building her knowledge of crystals and their healing properties.
โ
Maru is freshly 21, which Demetrius likes to act isn't true. Like Sebastian, Maru graduated high school a year early. She wanted to go straight to university after high school; however, her father did not allow her, not liking the idea of Maru leaving the safety of Pelican Town for the city. To appease her father, she got an associate's degree in nursing to stay close to home, working at Harvey's clinic. However, Maru remains intrigued with engineering and astronomy, and is considering going back to university to pursue aerospace engineering.
โ
Haley is 20. She is a few months older than Alex. She is not currently in college as she cannot for the life of her figure out what it is she wants to pursue in life. Haley dreams of pursuing photography, but knows in her heart of hearts that it is unrealistic of her to become successful as a photographer, which might disappoint her parents. She has not seen her mother and father in quite some time, and the idea of disappointing them is something that rests heavily on her shoulders as she is someone who has been perceived as "perfect" for most of her life, though much of this attention is vain as her beauty often overshadows her intellect.
โ
Penny is 20, though she is only a month older than Abigail and a month behind Haley. She did fairly well in school, except for her spotty grades in the months where she would have to prioritize caring for her home and mother over her studies. She attended a community college in Grampleton for two years, where she got an associate degree in childhood development and English. Unable to continue her education at university, Penny makes up for it by acting as a teacher for Vincent and Jas. Penny loves teaching the kids the wonders of reading and feeding into their curious, ever-growing minds, but wishes she could leave Pelican Town. If only she could, but worries of what might happen to her mother Pam if she goes away.

Abigail is 19. She is the youngest of her trio, originally introduced into the duo by Sebastianโwho totally has a crush on her that started in high school. Abigail expressed no interest in attending college when her father, Pierre, asked her about it, but applied to community college anyway when he wouldn't stop pestering her about it. Like most 19-year-old girls, Abigail gets a kick out of adventure and disobeying her parents, hence why she enjoys playing video games, hanging out at the saloon with Sam and Sebastian, and practicing her swordsmanship, even sneaking into the old mines a few times.
