this is Allie (left) and Stephanie (right)

they’re both cheerleaders, though Stephanie was coerced into joining the team by both Allie and Charlotte.

Allie despises Charlotte. She sees Charlotte as a sort of rival, unbeknownst to Charlotte. They’ve been best friends since diapers and Allie has always been jealous of Charlotte, and is constantly trying to outdo her in every way, believing she herself is prettier and more deserving of popularity and respect than Charlotte. She pretends to be her friend so she stays popular by proxy while she constantly tries to sabotage Charlotte.

Stephanie’s friendship is more authentic. She hasn’t known Charlotte as long as Allie, but their mothers are both PTA moms so they see each a lot. She genuinely likes Charlotte despite her flaws and is quick to forgive her of minor wrongdoings. She’s very religious and isn’t afraid to make it known. She’d much prefer to be in one of the school’s plays than on the cheer squad, a secret she keeps from both Charlotte and Allie, as both are quick to scorn the drama geeks.

here’s Zaine (left) and Michelle (right)

They look like they’re related, and many people think they are, but they will assure you, they are not. No, they’re not dating either, how dare you ask that.

Zaine and Michelle are both part of a band called The Victorious Dead. They were seniors when Travis was a freshman, but all three became good friends through shared music and fashion tastes. Even though they graduated two years ago and are busy with college and TVD, they still keep in touch with Travis and often sneak him into the bars where they’re performing. Zaine also buys Travis cigarettes.

Zaine suffers from generalized anxiety and copes with it by smoking and creating music. He has the worst resting bitch face, but is actually quite open to socializing. He has poor self esteem and really only feels confident when he’s on stage.

At first, Michelle seems to be a bit of an ice queen. She’s very reserved in public, but is relaxed and even goofy around her friends and people she trusts. She’s rather sweet and protective, and worries a lot about how other people see her and what they might think about her.

here’s Connor (left) and Blake (right)

Connor is Alabaster High School’s quarterback. He’s arrogant, stubborn, narcissistic, and a huge bully. He tends to get away with a lot of shit because he’s the quarterback, and he definitely abuses his position on the team in a variety of ways, such as threatening his fellow students to do his homework and manipulating his teachers to pass him in class.

Blake is Alabaster High School’s offensive tackle. He’s a quiet, but charming person, and very dedicated to the things he’s passionate about. While he’s not really a Bully™, he does occasionally bully people, and he (as well as James) sometimes turns a blind eye to Connor’s own bullying.

here’s another work uniform we’ll see Charlotte in eventually. certainly looks familiar  🤔 🤔 🤔

[oppositesattractwecomic]

Charlotte works both as a part time model and a part time dishwasher after school; her paychecks from modeling are closely monitored by her parents, who don’t know she has a second job. Everything she makes as a dishwasher goes directly into a secret piggy bank she calls her “run away fund”.

have Travis in one of his uniforms! 

Travis works several jobs during the summer to help his mother pay the bills, despite her reluctance to accept his help and insistence that he should just enjoy his adolescence. One of his jobs as a server at a restaurant called Nico’s will be important to the story.
