Personality: Admirable Traits: - He’s very mature and responsible - He’s easy going and very friendly - He’s patient and not easily angered - He’s loyal to his friends and his family Negative Traits: - He can be a bit absent minded at times - Though he doesn’t lose his temper easily, he can be violent when he does lose his patience Habits/Vices: Kai’s music often reflects his mood; his family have noticed that whenever he’s sad, he starts playing gloomy acoustic pieces but when he’s happy he likes to sing a lot of happy songs. He is also the only person in the Tay household who cannot handle his liquor well. He gets drunk easily and gets very loud when he’s drunk or even tipsy. Hobbies/Interests: Kai is a musician like his older sister. He plays the guitar and specializes in acoustic. He owns a Hummingbird Epiphone acoustic-electric guitar.

Past Birth Place/Hometown: San Francisco, California Family Life: Kai is very close to his family and easily took up being the man of the house when his father passed away. The loss affected him deeply and made him grow up a lot faster. Because of this, most of his younger relatives go to him for advice and for help.

He wrote her a letter, saying that he was willing to wait for when she was ready, whenever that would be. She moved away before he moved back to his hometown to be with his little sister and he hasn’t heard anything from Donia (not even a response to his letter). But it was a pleasant surprise for him to find out that Donia moved to Riverside to study and they are trying to rebuild their relationship. Present/Current Lifestyle Current City: Riverside School: Riverside University Occupation: Musician for hire Family Life: He has always considered Seraph his closest relative aside from his mom.

If there is something to be changed in this world, then it can only happen through music.” –Jimi Hendrix Trivia: Mikhael’s name is a Russian name his mother heard of when she was much younger; she loved it so much she promised herself, she’d name her first son Mikhael. Kai is also known as the family’s designated driver; because of this he drives the family’s black Ford Expedition and is usually the one who drives his mother everywhere. Xander is his best friend; they’ve known each other since they were little and played together often. He was inspired by the anime character, Kai Hiwatari.

Her hair is a bit curly and unruly. Her short bob has grown out from the past year. She used to have long curly hair that reached her chest but she shaved it off when she was diagnosed with cancer. Eye Color: Brown eyes—almost light enough to be hazel in color. Skin Tone: Fair Clothes Style: Aya is very skinny and Cameron can easily lift her up in his arms. Aya likes to dress in a comfortable but chic fashion; she also likes purple a lot which can be seen in her wardrobe. She wears jeans, tank tops, crop tops, tights, shorts or whatever tickles her fancy. She also has a lot of necklaces that she has collected over time that she likes to layer on. Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: She has 3 piercings (2 cartilage) on her right ear and 2 on her left ear (1 cartilage).
Personality:
Admirable Traits: - She stands for what she believes in - She is very family-oriented - She is easily forgiving of those who have done her wrong - She’s nice (to a fault)
Negative Traits: - She used to be really shy - She tends to mouth off at people who offend her - She sometimes forgets to take care of herself (physically and emotionally) - She is a bit insecure and often thinks she isn’t good enough
Habits/Vices: Oftentimes when Aya is upset and has no one to talk to, she takes walks in the frigid cold and comes back half-frozen or even ill (sometimes). Though it has lately become bright and summer-y, Aya still has the habit of walking around late at night to think. She has also recently gotten into the habit of needing a physical outlet (e.g. throwing something at Garret when she’s upset; especially when he makes fun of her). Aya also tends to tug on the shorter strands of her hair when she is thinking.
Hobbies/Interests: Aya took after her mother in terms of talent. She’s a very skilled photographer and she has found that it is easiest for her to express her feelings when she is looking from behind the lens of her camera. She started at a very young age and is now her mother’s apprentice; she’s planning to be a professional photographer when she grows up. Aside from photography, Aya likes to read and write and is currently borrowing all of Yume’s books to read while she’s bored. She also has a journal that she writes in when she has no one to talk to about her feelings.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: San Francisco, California Family Life: Aya, like her siblings, were very close to both their mother and father. Though it greatly upset her when her father passed away, she was able to stand up again and move on even at so young an age. She had greatly relied on the strength of her mother and sister when her shyness would overcome her. Favorite Moment: Receiving her first camera from her mother//Taking her first picture of Monte Mondego. Relationship History: Aya was the shy wallflower photographer of The Wishing Star café in MABTown. There she met, Monte Mondego and fell in love with him. They had a brief relationship before she had to leave the country when she found out she was diagnosed with breast cancer. They maintained contact for a while but circumstances made them think that the other had just given up and stopped communicating. This left Aya broken-hearted; it was a very difficult time for her and it changed her as a person, made her harder and more stubborn. Once her family moved to Riverside, she discovered that Monte lived there and had a new girlfriend, Serena Torres. Though she still loved Monte, she was afraid of hurting other people because of her selfishness (she was also afraid of hurting herself again) and eventually gave Monte her blessing. She began seeing Danian Arthur.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside School: Riverside University Occupation: Photographer (apprentice of her mother) Family Life: She has developed a very close relationship to her cousin, Cameron. Unlike her siblings, he understands her need for space and doesn’t push her when she is forthcoming with information on her life. He often drinks with her when she needs an outlet and is usually the person she goes to when she needs to talk out her feelings, or cry. Though she understands that her family is just concerned with her and her health, she is currently feeling a bit overwhelmed by their suffocation and their nagging (Seraph’s). Lives with: Her family at Seaview. Smoke/Drink? No/Occasionally Daily Diet: Whatever Georgie’s making/Whatever’s available Friends: The Yoons, Whitlocks, Lysander, Edward, Collins, Garret and Grady Walker, Monte, Alexia

Trivia: Ayame’s name means “Iris” in Japanese; her mother was pregnant with her while out on a stroll and took pictures of Iris flowers. Her camera is a Nikon D90 and she has a very high tolerance for alcohol. Her best friend is Garret Walker, though they had a very rough (violent) start. She also has a copy of Cameron’s car keys and steals his car quite often.

She can’t help but swear when she loses her temper (and she loses it easily). She also uses her baking to vent and instead of talking it out like a normal person, she bakes and bakes until the pantry is full and needs to give away most of it. Hobbies/Interests: Georgie is the cook of the family; it has always been her responsibility to feed the entire Tay family which now includes the Burkehearts and the Andersons. She has loved cooking since she was young and has recently found that her love for pastries transcends most of the loves in her life (except for probably Sean and her family). She cooks when she’s sad or angry and it has become a source of grief to her family because there isn’t enough room in the house to fit all her goods. She has also been known to be the source of the pastries that her numerous family members bring to their friends or to their significant others for dates or parties (e.g. Aya and the cookies; Xander and his date, etc.). She also likes to dance a lot and was Seraph’s clubbing partner. She likes dragging along the unwilling Sean who usually gets jealous of the people who dance with her and is coerced to dance (her plan all along). Past Birth Place/Hometown: Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines Family Life: Georgiana is the older sister of Samuel. They both moved to live with Kris when they moved to MABTown. She was once the apprentice pastry chef to some well-known pastry chefs in France where she was set on studying. But her mom had a mental breakdown and she was forced to come home to take care of her little brother. She’s very responsible and always put Sam first (even to the point of having to stay in MABTown instead of moving with Sean when he decided to travel Europe). Sam is currently living with their grandfather who insisted that it was her turn for a normal life—something she has constantly sacrificed so Sam could have a normal life. Favorite Moment: Baking chocolate chip cookies with Sam and eating the dough with him. Relationship History: She met her current boyfriend at the café that she worked at with him. They started off arguing a lot (they still do) but have grown from it and are very close. He had to leave to continue his musical education and they were separated for a year but have recently been reunited. Present/Current Lifestyle Current City: Riverside School: Riverside University Occupation: Pastry Chef Family Life: Georgie is very close to her family in Riverside and has been able to make friends as well. She is also one of Kris’ confidantes and can be usually seen with her on the back porch patio having a cup of coffee and a cream puff. Lives with: Her family at Seaview. Smoke/Drink?

Name: Cameron Tay Also Known As: Cameron, Cam Birthday: February 4 Age: 20 years old Status: Unofficially taken by Taylor Bowers Physical Appearance: Cameron is a handsome fellow with shocking, spiky red hair and crystal blue eyes. He and his sister have two common attributes: the blue eyes and the pale skin. It’s impossible for Cameron to tan; he’s tried and failed on numerous occasions. He dresses a lot more formally than Kai; he likes button up-shirts and he usually matches them with jeans and sneakers. He rarely cleans up but he looks good when he does (e.g. birthday party). He wears a silver bracelet on his left wrist that his mother gave him and is his only reminder of her. Personality: Cameron is known as an extremely jovial person and nothing can faze him. You could tell him the world was ending but he’d find a way to make you laugh about it. He was also a notorious player and has been known to be never tied down to one girl. He loves playing pranks on people, especially his family and has found a kindred spirit in Apollo Anderson. Though he may seem like a tool, he is a very kind-hearted fellow who is looking for ‘the one’. Nobody knows this however, not even his best friend, Ayame Tay. He has a habit of keeping things to himself because he doesn’t like showing the other sides of his personality to other people. He also uses his personality to observe people and their reactions. Past/MABTown: Cameron is the half-brother of Yume Tay. Their father had an affair which resulted in his birth; his step mother took care of him when his mother abandoned him (with a bracelet as the only reminder of his true origins). Yume and Cameron don’t like discussing this with other people and though their family is aware of his heritage, they accept him for who he is and that’s probably why he’s so protective of him. His parents are currently traveling around the world and they have asked Kris to take care of the siblings since she could give them more stable living conditions than their parents could. Cameron met Taylor Bowers in MABTown where they began a supposedly brief relationship that was consummated on Taylor’s birthday. She avoided him after that and he thought it as a chance to go back to his normal ways of ‘womanizing’. He is conflicted, however, because he truly does care about Taylor and he feels that she doesn’t care about him that way so he keeps his distance since he believes that is her wish. He has recently met Chelsea Urban who has admitted being attracted to him. He’s still confused however (poor child). Now/Riverside: Cameron has recently confessed to Taylor that he is in love with her and they are currently in an exclusive relationship. Though he still finds it incredibly awkward to call her his girlfriend. School: Cameron is taking up a double major in Sociology and Anthropology at the local university as a sophomore. Hobbies: Cameron’s true hobby is observing people. He pretends that it’s flirting with girls but he actually enjoys watching people on a day-to-day basis. He uses his flirtatious ways to see what reactions girls have to his ‘personality’. Aya and Yume are aware of this and call him a stalker for it. He has also adopted Seraph’s hobby of running and uses the time to think. Trivia: Cameron was inspired by Tala Valkov (red hair, blue eyes, pale skin; ps: he isn’t a vampire if you’re wondering). He has two favorite foods: chocolate lava cake and curly fries. Cameron drives a blue Mini Cooper which he recently bought for himself as a birthday present. His best friend is Ayame Tay and he drinks with her a lot. He is also close to Pol Anderson because they plan pranks on their family members together. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander, Taylor, Chelsea

Name: Yume Tay Also Known As: Yume, Yu, Shiny Yume Birthday: November 30 Age: 18 years old Status: Taken by Jackson Whitlock Physical Appearance: Yume is probably the most-asian looking of all the Tays. She has long black shiny hair that curls at her waist. She usually wears a hat to keep it from flying all over the place. She has blue eyes and pale skin like her older brother, Cameron. Her mouth is usually in a shy smile or pout and is always shiny and glossed. She is usually dressed in tights, long blouses or dresses and sometimes steals Georgiana’s clothes (they’re the same size). She collects hats and is usually seen wearing one. She’s also very self conscious about the fact that she has a pretty big bust. Personality: Yume is shy and probably the quietest of her entire family. She has recently become a lot more stubborn (they blame it on Georgie’s influence). She’s a very sweet and kind-hearted girl who is known to pout a lot. Her family often babies her because she’s so petite and it constantly irks her. She’s never known to swear and when she does, it never comes out right. She’s a self-conscious girl, especially about her chest and is usually horrified when her boyfriend suddenly jumps on stage to sing her a song (he’s really bad at picking appropriate songs for parties) or when he loudly admits his fetish but she loves him anyway. Past: Yume and Cameron moved with Kris and her family to MABTown and there she met Jack Whitlock at the library where they instantly bonded over their mutual love of Bob Ong books. They began a relationship and were the main reason why their families became so close. They worked together at the café that their mothers co-owned until one day they suddenly just left and lost contact with them. They have been recently reunited and picked up their relationship quite easily (Yume bribed him with a new book). School: Yume graduated from the local highschool last May 2011. She is currently a freshman at Riverside University and is taking up a major in English Literature. Hobbies: Yu is the epitome of a bookworm. She’d spend her whole life in the library if she could; she’s loved books ever since she was a child and her love for them is probably only rival to the love she has for her family and for Jack. She collects books and is the ‘keeper’ of the family library. Aside from that, she likes to help out Georgiana in the kitchen. She is surprisingly good at mixing drinks and she’s the family bartender during family night (when the entire family—Burkehearts and Andersons included, talk, karaoke and drink with Kris). Trivia: Yume means "dream" in Japanese. Though Yume is considered the quietest of the family, she’s also suspected to be the kinkiest. The only people who could probably contest Yume in drinking are Kris and her kids (Seraph, Kai and Aya). She’s usually Annalise’s dummy for cosplay costumes and she lets her do whatever because she knows Jack actually likes the. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander, Collins, Garret and Grady Walker

Name: Alexandra Nicole Burkeheart Also Known As: Alex Birthday: April 20 Age: 20 years old Status: Crushing on Azriel Seth Moore Physical Appearance: Alex is a very pretty, lithe girl with long curly mahogany colored hair that she usually ties up into a messy top knot. She has bright blue eyes and is tall for a girl her age. If there was one thing that could be considered her best asset it would be her legs that she keeps tone from dancing. She has a second piercing on her left ear (cartilage) and a tattoo of 3 stars, varying in size on the inside of her left wrist. She wears a leather bracelet her father bought her when she was young and has never taken it off. She usually dresses in jeans and sneakers or flats and tank tops, blouses and tights; whatever she’s comfortable in… Even if she looks a bit ridiculous. She wears prescription glasses most of the time. Personality: Alex is a stubborn girl and can be hard to befriend because she’s so calloused with the way she speaks to people. Her family and close friends are used to the blunt way she says things but she forgets that some people are easily hurt and often insults people with her bluntness by accident. She’s also very goal-oriented and has been focused on her dancing for as long as she can remember. She’s very confident about her dancing and has yet seen someone who has truly impressed her with the way they danced. Her family is very important to her and though she isn’t as showy about it as Xander is; they know that she can be very overprotective. She has also been known to be fond of children. Past: Alex and her twin brother are the godchildren of Kris; their mother was her best friend in college. Alex’s parents both recently passed away in a car accident and they have been given into Kris’ custody. Alex was planning to pursue her dancing career by studying at a famous institute but she has put her life’s goals on hold to take care of her siblings. School: Alex is currently undecided about what to take up at the local university. She is, however, leaning towards majoring in Psychology. Hobbies: Alex is the dancer of the family; her mother insisted that she take up ballet when she was little and has never stopped. She has also taken modern jazz, and hip hop though she considers herself a more classical dancer, preferring her roots in ballet. She uses dancing as her focus in life and it’s where she can fully express herself without fear of judgment from other people. Trivia: Alex has a slight crush on Alexander Yoon (not that she’d ever admit it to anyone; even herself). She loves chocolate and Georgiana’s cream puffs. She drives a black Honda Jazz/Fit and the only sibling who has the spare keys is Seph because he’s the only one Alex trusts with her car. Alex is also very ticklish. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander

Name: Nicholas Alexandre Burkeheart Also Known As: Xander Birthday: April 20 Age: 20 years old Status: In a relationship with Jordan Collins Physical Appearance: Xander is a handsome fellow with curly dirty blonde hair and the Burkeheart blue eyes. He’s pretty tall but can’t be considered lanky; he has muscular arms and broad shoulders from swimming. He likes wearing solid colors and is usually seen in button ups or print-less shirts. Xander is more comfortable wearing jeans and sneakers than anything else and is usually only seen with the same exact pair of black converse sneakers every single day (even if he has a multitude of shoes at his disposal). Personality: Xander is shy; his family isn’t really sure why when the rest of his siblings are all confident even to a fault. He is so shy that his mother used to call him a turtle when he’d go to her for backup. Surprisingly enough, he doesn’t mind speaking in front of crowds of people he doesn’t know but when he has to start a conversation, all thought leaves his brain and he becomes a stuttering fool. Answering questions is easy enough and if you guide a conversation well enough, he won’t clam up but if you want him to lead the conversation, he’ll shut up. He’s very kind-hearted and believes in being a gentleman; he’s written his own code of conduct and tries to follow it constantly. Past: Xander and his siblings used to live in Italy with their parents where his father’s business is based. He is planning to take over as CEO as soon as he graduates though he wishes to stay in Riverside with his family (and Collins). He was very close with his parents because he always went to his mother for advice while he discovered his love for music from his father. He’s never had a very serious relationship till now so he is still a bit lost on how to treat Collins. Xander used to be very wary of the girls who came on to him because they usually just wanted to go out with him because he was handsome and rich; they never bothered to look deeper (a feeling he shares with Seph). School: Xander is majoring in Business Management at the local university as a sophomore. Hobbies: Xander learned how to play the bass from his father and was more inspired to learn music when Kai (his best friend) started learning how to play the guitar. He usually jams with Kai and Seraph when they’re playing something. He also likes to swim and has started using the underground pool his godmother has at their house. Trivia: Xander is obsessed with coffee; whenever he finishes a cup, he sighs softly as if disappointed that it’s all gone. His little sister thinks it’s the cutest thing ever, to see such a big person mourn over a cup of coffee. His passion for coffee rivals that of Kris’. He also likes his share of sweets though his favorite type of chocolate is bitter chocolate. Xander drives a dark blue Honda Civic but usually steals Cameron’s car when he’s in a hurry. Kai is his best friend. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander, Collins, Bo, Chelsea, Garret and Grady Walker, Mara, Atticus

Seph even calls her travel-sized because she’s so petite. She has the Burkeheart blue eyes and choppy blond hair that she usually ties back into a topknot or messy ponytail. She only has 1 piercing on each ear but she has recently gotten a belly ring and a tattoo on her left shoulder blade. She’s usually dressed in crop tops, sleeveless blouses, tanks and camisoles which she pairs with jeans. Even if it’s cold, she’s known to wear random things. Personality: Jackie is a very bubbly and outgoing person. If she finds an opportunity to meet or make a new friend, then she’ll do all that she can to get a friend at the end of the deal. Aside from that, she’s very outspoken and so when she gets mad, she never hesitates to tell the person who caused her said grief. She’s quite witty and has a dry humor like her older sister; sometimes she sounds bitchy but she’s actually a really nice person who doesn’t take shit from anyone. Past: Jackie is the half-sister of the Burkehearts. Her mother was the secretary of her father and they entered into an affair which resulted in her conception. Her mother died giving birth to her and she was adopted by Jackie Burkeheart and was treated as her own daughter. She was very affected by the death of her parents, especially her stepmother who she was very close to. School: She recently graduated high school at Riverside High and is now a freshman at the local university; majoring in Creative Writing and minoring in English Literature. Hobbies: Jacqueline is the writer of the family; most of the luggage that she brought with her is full of notebooks with half-finished stories, poems, essays and any other literary pieces that were once noodling around in her head. Because of this, she likes to watch people and is usually inspired by the going ons in everyday life. Trivia: She was named after her stepmother Jacqueline Burkeheart. She’s about 5’0’’ and is the shortest of all of my characters. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander, Collins, Bo, Chelsea, Garret and Grady Walker

Name: John Joseph Burkeheart Also Known As: Johnny, Seph, Joe (by Jackie) Birthday: October 23 Age: 18 years old Status: Single Physical Appearance: Seph has short, spiky brown hair that sticks out in random directions; he doesn’t even bother trying to tame it because he knows all efforts are pretty much futile. He has the Burkeheart’s blue eyes and they are usually fixed into a frown of concentration or a glare because some random girl is checking him out. He’s pretty tall and buff for his age which makes a lot of girls swoon for him which he finds very annoying. He usually wears plain shirts or whatever he finds that’s lying around. He’s wardrobe consists of tee-shirts, long sleeve shirts, button ups, jeans and sneakers. Seph has a barely noticeable stud on his right ear. Personality: Joseph is another over-confident Burkeheart who doesn’t take crap from anybody. Unlike his sisters, however, Seph prefers to be quiet and only speaks to people who he deems ‘worthy’ of his attention. It makes him seem like an elitist asshole to his peers and sometimes he is one. However, deep down, Joseph is a sweetheart who is just waiting for someone to peel back the layers of his snarkiness to find the soft, romantic side that he’s hidden from everyone, including his family. He’s a man of few words but he makes sure that the words he does manage to spit out get the point across very well. Past: Seph and Jackie are very close because they’re the same age and grew up together. If Joseph had to have a best friend, it would be (surprisingly) Jackie because she easily accepts every part of him. He was very close to his father who was a bassist of a jazz band and was his inspiration to take up music and become a professional musician. He played the cello at his parents’ funeral. School: Joseph is a graduate of Riverside High and is a freshman at Julliard (he travels back and forth) majoring in cello and minoring in composition. Hobbies: Joseph was inspired to take up music by his father who was a bassist in a local jazz band. He was taught the basics of the bass by his father but he later on took up the cello, the piano and is currently studying how to play the drums. In terms of voice, Seph is a baritone but he has quite the gravelly voice so it doesn’t suit all songs. Though he loves playing classical music, when he’s alone he’s known to play jazzy songs because they remind him of his father. Trivia: He hates being called Joe but Jackie calls him Joe anyway. Seph loves hot chocolate and is probably the only one in the household who comes down from his room in the middle of the night to eat something chocolate-y before going to bed (Kris has caught him on numerous occasions). He has a copy of Alex’s car keys because he’s the only one she trusts with her car. Friends: The Yoons and the Whitlocks, Lysander, Alexia
