Note: This is just an introduction to explain how old everyone is, how they are related to one another, and who they are dating. There are more detailed profiles following this introduction.
The Howards are an inter-racially blended family currently living in Riverside. Like many other families, they are originally from Mabtown and were forced to relocate to Riverside due to a hurricane. Now living in a crowded, but scenic beach house on Seaview Circle, they are now trying to adjust to their new surroundings.
Family Members Currently Residing in Riverside
Dani Howard
Dani is a former best selling romance novelist and is the ex-wife of Frank Wesley and Jake Howard. Despite the fact that she's been divorced from Jake for the past two years, she still uses the last name of Howard. While she considers herself to be the mother of all of the Howard kids, only four of them are biologically hers: Jack, Kylie, Alexia, and Molly.
Jack Howard
Jack is Dani's twenty year old son from her first marriage to Frank, who was later adopted by her second husband Jake. He is currently a freshman at Riverside University and is engaged to Miki Arthur.
Bekah Bevington
Bekah is the nineteen year old best friend of Dani's daughter Kylie. After the tragic death of her parents in a ski accident when she was sixteen, she came to live with the Howards. Also a freshman at Riverside University, she is now officially dating Chase Coble.
Nick Howard
Nick is Dani's nineteen year old former stepson from her marriage to Jake. Even though she never legally adopted him and is no longer married to his father, he calls Dani "mom" and prefers to live with her instead of with his father. Currently a senior at Riverside High, he has feelings for Katie Fosterling, a single teen mom with two kids.
Alexia Howard
The youngest of Dani's three kids from her first marriage, Alexia was only nine years old when her mother got remarried and her ex-stepfather adopted her. Now a seveteen year old senior at Riverside High, she is currently single. She did meet an interesting nameless cello player recently, but she'd rather not talk about it.
Lucas Howard
Despite lived with Dani most of his life and considering her his mom, seventeen year old Lucas is actually her godson, the biological son of her best friend Pamela. Even though he was only three years old when he joined the family, he wasn't legally adopted until six years later. Currently a junior at Riverside High, he has a crush on Kara Torres.
Sophie Howard
Sophie is the sixteen year old adopted daughter of Jake Howard. Like her older brother Nick, she chose to live with Dani instead of staying with her father. For the past two years, she has been in a relationship with the much older Chris McIntoshie. Since Chris is currently away at college, Sophie has decided to take a break from their relationship, instead choosing to focus on being a junior in high school. She's also made a new friend named Vic, whom she thinks is one of the funniest people's she's ever met.
Chynna Howard
Chynna is Dani's adopted twelve year old daughter. Since she was adopted as a baby long after Dani divorced her first husband, Jake is the only father that she has ever known. Because the junior high and the senior high are combined in Riverside, Chynna goes to the same school as her older siblings, despite only being in the 7th grade. To her, school is yet another place where she's outnumbered by teenagers.
Sammy Wesley
Sammy is the five year old son of Dani's first husband Frank and his wife Tiffy. His parents died in a boating accident when he was only two. Due to a strange set of circumstances, he was sent to live with Dani and her family.
Molly Howard
Molly is Dani's three year old daughter, her only biological child with Jake. She was barely two months old when her parents split up. Even though she has two bickering parents, a stepmother that hates her, and a chaotic house full of older, bigger siblings, Molly has somehow managed to grow into a very happy well-adjusted toddler....that knows a few curse words.

Hobbies/Interests: Jack is the typical jock. He started playing basketball and hockey when he was younger and played them both all the way through high school. However, the most prominent sport in Jack's life would have to be football. He's excelled at it for pretty much his entire life and even got to play on a highly ranked college team for a semester. Not only does he enjoy playing it, he enjoys watching it as well. He's a huge fan of the New England Patriots and considers Tom Brady to be his idol. Due to the absence of sports at Riverside University, Jack can only play for fun now.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: New York City Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Jack was an "accident", resulting in his parents having to get married just a few months before his birth. His sister Kylie was born a year later, followed by his sister Alexia the next year. A few months after Alexia was born, his father ran off to Mexico with their babysitter. Thanks to a huge divorce settlement and his mother's flourishing writing career, Jack and his siblings had a pretty decent childhood. After taking in his godbrother Lucas and moving upstate for a year, Jack's family eventually settled in Mabtown and added an adopted set of twins to the family. A few years later, his mother remarried, causing Jack to gain his stepsiblings Brandie, Nick, Hayden, Sophie, and Cori, plus his half sister Molly. Everything was fine until his mother got divorced a second time, leading to twice as much drama as the first one created. Luckily Jack somehow managed to survive the craziness.
Favorite Moment: Proposing to Miki
Relationship History: Jack's first relationship was with Tamyria "Tammy" Williams, a girl that he met shortly after moving to Mabtown. Their relationship lasted a very long time, but the spark had eventually died by the time Jack was sixteen. He also began developing feelings for a younger girl named Stella Bevington, whom he wound up kissing behind Tammy's back. Eventually he got up the nerve to break up with Tammy to be with Stella, but Stella had already moved on with someone else by the time that happened. A few months later, Jack fell in love with his best friend Brody Arthur's younger sister, Miki. Like Jack, Miki had just gotten out of a long term relationship. Her ex-boyfriend Oliver Hale and his family loved Miki and would stop at nothing (including making up a story about a rape) to reunite her with Oliver. Their interference eventually led to Jack and his friends beating up Oliver and knocking his teeth out. On Valentine's Day 2009, Jack and Miki officially became boyfriend and girlfriend. They remained happy for about a year until Miki's family suddenly had to move away. Thinking that he would never see Miki again, Jack eventually went away to college. He returned home for Christmas break only to discover that Miki had run away and was hiding out in her old house. After reuniting with her, he asked her to marry him and she happily accepted. Shortly after he returned to college the following semester, Mabtown was hit by a hurricane. Not wanting to lose Miki a second time, he raced to Riverside to be with his family and enrolled at Riverside University to be with Miki. He's currently counting down the days until she turns eighteen and can be his wife.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside University
Occupation: Full-time student, works at the gym part-time
Family Life: Two years ago, Jack's biological father passed away. This didn't affect Jack too much because he hadn't seen him in several years, but it did lead to him discovering that he had a younger half brother named Sammy. Due to an unusual set of circumstances, Sammy wound up living with Jack's mother and his other siblings. Jack gets along with most of his siblings, except for his brother Hayden, whom became estranged from pretty much everyone following the divorce. He also has issues with his adoptive father (whom he calls "dad") and his new wife and family. His relationship with his mom is pretty good, although she did have several concerns about his engagement to Miki.

Rebekah Faith Bevington 
Parents: Jack and April Bevington (deceased)
Preferred Name: Bekah
Nicknames/Aliases: Barbie (by Alexia), Becky (by Chynna)
Age: 19
Date Of Birth: November 5, 1992
Education: Sophomore at Riverside University
Relationship Status: Single
Appearance
Height: 5'6
Build: Average
Hair Color/Style: Dark brown hair
Eye Color: Sapphire green
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: ears pierced, navel ring
Personality:
Admirable Traits:
-is loyal
-is kind
Negative Traits:
-often makes the wrong assumption about things
-can be selfish on occasion
Bad Habits/Vices:
-has a bit of a shopping addiction
Hobbies/Interests: Bekah has been involved in various activities in her lifetime. In junior high, she was involved in the art club, cheerleading squad, and even played lacrosse for a short time. The only thing that she managed to stick with was cheerleading, eventually leading to her becoming head cheerleader of her high school squad. Her other passion is doing makeup. She's currently majoring in cosmetology and hopes to become a makeup artist.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: Long Island Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Bekah was born on Long Island in New York, the oldest of her parents’ biological children. When she was almost thirteen, her parents decided to move the entire family moved to Mabtown. A few weeks after they relocated, her brother Heath ran away, causing her parents a lot of stress and grief. Despite her young age, she practically killed herself to help her parents keep the family together. Eventually he returned home a year later, angering Bekah, who felt that his actions were purely selfish. They have had a strained relationship since. As the years passed, Bekah's parents adopted three more children and took in her cousin Akasha, leaving Bekah starved for attention. She especially felt jealous of her adoptive sister McKenzie, whom she felt was much prettier than her. Bekah's home life then took an even more tragic turn for the worst when her parents were killed in a ski accident while vacationing in the Swiss Alps. Her and her siblings were split up and taken in by various friends, relatives, and neighbors. As a result, Bekah wound up moving in with her best friend Kylie Howard's family.
Favorite Moment: Chase asking her to be his girlfriend
Relationship History: Bekah's first boyfriend was Sota Shinoda, a boy that she met in junior high and dated all the way up until her junior year of high school. Their relationship was fine until a family obligation took Sota out of town for an extended period of time. To cope with her loneliness, she started hanging with Kyle Greene, another boy at school. Just as her and Kyle were getting closer, Sota returned home and caught them together, which led to Sota breaking up with her and Kyle getting a black eye. Kyle faded into the background shortly after. On the first anniversary of her parents' deaths, a depressed Bekah took a walk around the lake, fell through a patch of ice, and wound up getting hypothermia. Luckily, she was saved from death by newcomer Reese Coble and her older brother Chase, who helped keep her warm until the ambulance came. After Bekah was released from the hospital later that day, Chase asked her out on a date, which she gladly accepted. Over the next few months, Bekah and Chase began unofficially dating each other. Their relationship was great except for Bekah's decision to hide pretty much everything about her life, mainly the fact that she was an orphan. She worried that it would make him think less of her. However, the closer they got, the more guilty she felt about keeping her secret. Convinced that she didn't deserve Chase, she tearfully confessed the truth and moved away to attend college in New York. To her surprise, Chase drove all the way to New York a few months later to convince her to come back. He managed to get her to stay in Mabtown for Christmas, but she returned to New York shortly after. As soon as she received word about the hurricane a few weeks later, she packed up and headed to Riverside to find Chase. Not too long after that, Chase officially asked Bekah to be his girlfriend by having the question spelled out on a cheesecake. They had a very happy relationship for two years until Chase broke up with her and moved back to his hometown of Chicago with his family.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside University
Occupation: Full-time student
Family Life: After the death of her parents, the Howards did their best to make Bekah feel welcome in their home. She got along with most of them, but was constantly picked on by Alexia, who resented the addition of yet another person to their already crowded house. She always made it clear to Bekah that she wasn't part of the family and never would be. Alexia's teasing is what eventually caused Bekah to move to New York temporarily to live with her grandparents and some of her biological siblings. While she still loves and cares about her biological family, she began to care very deeply for the Howards as well. She lives in a year-round dorm at Riverside University, but still visits the Howards occasionally on the weekends. Her biological siblings have popped up in town from time to time, but she doesn't talk to them as much as she used to. However, she does keep in close contact with her younger sister Stella through text messages and e-mails.

Brandie Katherine Howard 
Parents: Jake and Tracy Howard (deceased)
Preferred Name: Brandie
Nicknames/Aliases: Andi (nickname from Molly)
Age: 19
Date Of Birth: May 21, 1993
Education: Freshman at Riverside University
Relationship Status: Single, Reserved for Ryan Miller
Appearance
Height: 5'5
Build: Average
Hair Color/Style: Light brown curly hair
Eye Color: Light blue eyes
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: ears pierced
Personality:
Admirable Traits:
-is sweet
-cares a lot about her family
Negative Traits:
-can get really jealous
-can get overly emotional
Bad Habits/Vices:
-blames herself for things that aren't her fault
Hobbies/Interests: Brandie's family often referred to her as "a mini Martha Stewart". A lot of her spare time was spent sewing, making crafts, or planting flowers in the garden. She even cooked dinner for the entire family on a weekly basis. At the beginning of her senior year, she branched out with her activities and joined the swim team. Unfortunately, the hurricane that struck Mabtown turned this into a short-lived activity. After moving to Riverside, she decided to branch out even further by attending college and pursuing a future career as a marine biologist.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: Huntington Beach, California Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Beating out her twin brother Nick by three minutes, Brandie is the oldest of her father's biological children. While her birth was a peaceful one, the first few years of her life were very eventful. By the time she was a year old, her mother had died, leaving her father to raise Brandie, Nick, and their newborn brother Hayden alone. By the time she was three years old, her father decided to adopt two kids, Sophie and Cori. A year later, her father then decided to uproot the entire family from California and move them to Mabtown, where he took a position on the fire department. By the time Brandie was in junior high, her dad had gotten remarried and the family was living with her new stepmother Dani and her six kids. Brandie adored Dani and started calling her "Mom". She was even more delighted when her father decided to adopt her stepsiblings, whom she had grown close to. Sadly, the marriage ended in divorce after just four years.
Favorite Moment: Pretty much anything involving Kaden
Relationship History: For her entire life, Brandie has only been in love with one guy: Kaden Shanahan. Ever since they exchanged photographs of each other at the playground one bright summer day, they became inseparable. Even though Brandie was only four and Kaden was only five, they began referring to each other as girlfriend and boyfriend. Their relationship continued as they entered adolescence, resulting in them sharing their first kiss at Kaden's 12th birthday party. Their relationship went through several ups and downs as they entered high school, however most of their problems stemmed from Brandie's insecurities. Due to Kaden's good looks and singing ability, other girls started to lust after him and started to hate Brandie for dating him. Because of this, Brandie hardly had any female friends outside of her own sisters and the daughters of her father's friends, whom she had known since she was born. The teasing of her female classmates completely went to Brandie's head, making her think that Kaden wanted to break up with her. Brandie also worried about Kaden's safety and became very concerned when he decided to pursue a career as a firefighter. In early 2009, Brandie and Kaden got engaged. Because they were still in high school, they kept it a secret from everyone at first. After about a month of not being able to contain their excitement, they finally decided to tell their parents. Unfortunately the night before they had planned to tell them, Brandie's father and stepmother got into a huge fight. Her father then woke up Brandie, Nick, Hayden, Sophie, and Cori and told them that they had to leave Mabtown. Not wanting to leave Kaden, Brandie refused at first, but eventually gave in and left with her father and siblings. Eventually, Brandie made her way back to Mabtown, but her relationship with Kaden never recovered. After a few years of trying to reconcile, Brandie eventually gave up and mailed Kaden his ring back after she moved to Riverside.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside University
Occupation: Full-time student
Family Life: After the divorce, Brandie's father moved her and her siblings to a rural area several hours away from Mabtown. She later discovered that her father and his friends had been embezzling money from the firefighters' charity fund. Kaden had overheard a conversation about this while he was at the fire station and told his parents, who told Brandie's stepmother, who eventually decided to contact the authorities. Because of this, Brandie's father wound up hating most of the citizens of Mabtown and became twice as overprotective with his children as he had been in the past. Tired of their father's strict attitude and missing their stepmother and friends, Brandie, Nick, Sophie, and Cori decided to sneak out one night during a thunderstorm and drive back to Mabtown. They wound up moving back in with their stepmother, who welcomed them with open arms. Once the hurricane hit, she (along with two of her brothers) reluctantly decided to go live with her father and his new wife's family. Her and her brothers went to Riverside to visit their former stepmother and siblings for the summer, but they decided to stay in town and comfort their stepmother after the sudden departure of their sister Kylie.

Nicholas Michael Howard 
Parents: Jake and Tracy Howard (deceased)
Preferred Name: Nick
Nicknames/Aliases: Nicky (nickname from Molly)
Age: 19
Date Of Birth: May 21, 1993
Education: Freshman at Riverside University
Relationship Status: In a Relationship with Katie Meyers
Appearance
Height: 5'7
Build: Average
Hair Color/Style: Light brown spiked hair
Eye Color: Light blue eyes
Skin Tone: Fair
Tattoos, Piercings, Marks, Scars, etc.: several scars from sports injuries, has an earring
Personality:
Admirable Traits:
-is friendly
-holds the family together
Negative Traits:
-is a little self-conscious
-can get awkward at times
Bad Habits/Vices:
-accident-prone
Hobbies/Interests: Growing up, Nick did several extra curricular activities that revolved around extreme sports such as skateboarding, dirt biking, motocross, surfing, and snowboarding. Unfortunately, he was terribly accident-prone, resulting in several injuries. He has been to the emergency room so many times back in Mabtown that the nurses were on a first name basis with his entire family. After the hurricane hit Mabtown and destroyed pretty much everything, Nick decided to cut back on the extreme sports. However, he still does enjoy to surf. When he's not participating in sports, Nick occasionally indulges in his other hobby of music. He plays the keyboard and even taught his brother Hayden to play the guitar.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: Huntington Beach, California Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Nick was born in California, but moved to Mabtown at the age of four along with his widowed father, two brothers, and two sisters. Most of his life, he had looked up to his father and wanted to be just like him. He even decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a firefighter when he grew up. By the time he was fifteen, he was part of the junior firefighter program. Not too long after that, his father was accused of embezzling money from a charity fund, resulting in him leaving town in the middle of the night and taking Nick and his siblings with him.
Favorite Moment: Placing second place in his very first motocross tournament
Relationship History: Nick's first crush was on Madison Shanahan. It was a secret unrequited crush that lasted about a few weeks. He found his head being turned by Madison's twin sister Mackenzie, who was not only pretty, but also made him laugh. She also seemed to like him back as well. Before Nick could tell her how he felt, he discovered that his brother Hayden also had feelings for her. Hayden begged Nick not to confess his feelings. Out of respect for his younger brother, Nick remained silent and remained just friends with Mackenzie. Their friendship became shaky (and never really recovered) once she found out the truth. Eventually, she moved on and started dating Hayden. By that time, Nick was dating his first girlfriend Ali Venetto, a girl that lived down the street from his stepmother. Unfortunately, her busy schedule caused her to hardly ever be around. He wound up developing a crush on Camille Cohen, a cheerleader friend of his sister Kylie that also lived in the neighborhood. Ali's constant absences caused him to break up with her and go after Camille. They got along great and even hung out a few times, but Nick couldn't get up the nerve to ask her to make their relationship official. A few months later, Nick finally decided to make his move. Borrowing an idea from one of his sister's teen magazines, he came up with an elaborate plot to decorate her locker with hearts and ask her out. Sadly, Nick's father packed up and took Nick and his siblings out of town just a few days before he was supposed to ask Camille out. By the time Nick had returned to Mabtown, Camille was already dating someone else. He wound up pouring his heart out to a girl that he met on a school camping trip and later ran into at the nurse's office. Unfortunately, he failed to get her name on either occasion and never saw her again. He had pretty much given up on dating in general until he met Katie Meyers at a movie theater one night when they were the only two people at a special midnight screening of Spaceballs. They were almost immediately attracted to one another and decided to go out on a date. However, a hurricane struck Mabtown before their first date could take place. Having lost Katie's phone number and not knowing her last name, Nick was worried that his bad luck with girls had returned. He later wound up running into her after moving to Riverside and discovered, to his surprise, that she was a single mother of twin boys. Despite his initial shock, he is currently in a relationship with her and loves and treats her boys as if they're his own.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside University
Occupation: Full-time student
Family Life: Nick lasted about three months at his father's house until he and his siblings decided to hop in his car and escape to his stepmother's house one rainy night. He stayed with her and even wound up moving with her to Riverside. Even though his father has since remarried, he still refers to his stepmother as "Mom". He even considers her foster son Sammy his younger brother even though they're not related. He has a good relationship with all of his siblings except for Hayden, who sided with their father after the divorce and currently hates their stepmother.

Hobbies/Interests: For most of her life, Kylie has lived and breathed cheerleading. She started cheering at the age of seven while she was attending Gulf Coast Academy and remained on the squad up until she transferred to North Ridge High during her sophomore year. She was really successful there, becoming one of the few sophomores selected to join the varsity squad. By the time she had started her senior year, she had won several cheerleading awards and competed in two national competitions. Sadly, it was around this time that her cheerleading career took a turn for the worst. Mabtown was destroyed by a tragic and unexpected hurricane, which caused Kylie's family and several others to move to Riverside. Hoping to reclaim her former glory, she joined the cheerleading squad at Riverside High. To her dismay, they didn't really care about her past accomplishments and pushed her into the background. Outside of cheerleading, Kylie's other main interest is singing. When she was younger, she used to run around proudly bragging about the fact that her mother had named her after famous Australian pop star Kylie Minogue. She competed in several beauty pageants and would often sing as part of the talent competition. After failing to win any of the pageants, she gave up on singing and didn't sing in public again until she participated in a Christmas program not too long before the hurricane hit Mabtown. Unfortunately, that led to even more bad memories, which caused Kylie to limit her singing to her bedroom.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: New York City Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: The second of her mother's biological children, Kylie came into the world in a very dramatic way. She was born in the middle of a heat wave after her mother’s water suddenly broke in the middle of the Macy’s shoe department. Despite getting trapped in an elevator for an hour, she eventually made it to the hospital and gave birth to Kylie there. From there on, Kylie's life continued to get dramatic. Her biological father ran off to with their babysitter when Kylie was just a year old. Kylie and her siblings remained in contact with him, but they ranked a distant second to their father's girlfriend. By the time Kylie was eleven years old, her biological father had signed away his parental rights to her mother's new husband, Jake Howard, the man that Kylie and her siblings refer to as their father. Throughout most of her life, Kylie has always made it her mission to be the center of attention. She accomplished this by competing in several beauty pageants. Unfortunately, she wound up losing all of them. Her most heartbreaking loss came at the age of fourteen when she lost the Miss GCA pageant. Instead of helping her compete, her father decided to throw his support behind his friend's daughter, causing Kylie to feel rejected and unpretty. It also enforced the fact that he wasn't her biological father, a fact that Kylie remains aware of. Growing up, Kylie was close to her siblings, especially her older brother Jack, younger sister Alexia, and adoptive older sister Brandie. However, that all changed during Kylie’s sophomore year of high school. After transferring to North Ridge High, she became friends with Bekah Bevington, the most popular girl in school and wound up spending very little time with her siblings. The distance grew even farther when Bekah’s parents were killed suddenly in a skiing accident, causing Bekah to move in with Kylie’s family. Kylie really appreciated Bekah's presence in the house, as it was the perfect distraction from the messy divorce that her mother was going through at time.
Favorite Moment: Her first date with Brody
Relationship History: The first boy that Kylie ever had a crush on was Brody Arthur. Unfortunately, he was seeing Kristi Stokes and wasn't interested at all. Kylie used to run home in tears whenever she saw them together. In an attempt to get over Brody, her mother fixed her up with a boy named Luke May-Mccook and arranged for them to go to each other's school dances. Kylie attended Luke's school dance, but he wound up standing her up at her dance. He later apologized and the two of them wound up dating. The romance became a little strained due to the two of them attending rival schools, Kylie cheering too loudly at Luke's football games, and Luke's family's constant trips out of town for his mother's job. While Luke was out of town, Kylie started hanging around with her new siblings and wound up becoming attracted to their friend Jordan Kakco. She initially tried to ignore it, but wound up leaving a breakup letter in Luke's mailbox after kissing Jordan one night. Jordan and Kylie immediately became a couple. Their relationship started out great, but later started to go downhill. He preferred to spend more time with his friends than with Kylie. A lot of his friends that he spent time with were attractive females, which made Kylie jealous. He also would make fun of Kylie on occasion. The end of the relationship occurred when he stood Kylie up on Valentine's Day. It was later revealed it was because he had to flee town due to some illegal activities that he was involved with along with his father and Kylie's father. However, when she saw him again at her father's wedding several months later, he had moved on with someone else. After things ended with Jordan, Kylie enjoyed a brief romance with Emmett Shanahan, a boy that she met on the cheerleading squad. They went out on a few dates and even went to the prom together before he moved away as well. His departure left Kylie extremely depressed and convinced her more than ever that she was cursed when it came to boys. Things started to look up when she decided to audition for a Christmas pageant and wound up having to sing a duet with Brody, causing her old feelings for him to come rushing back. To her surprise and delight, he wound up developing feelings for her as well and asked her out. After a promising first date, everything seemed to be going great between them until the random appearance of Liesl Baker, a girl that Brody had slept with a few months earlier. To make matters worse, she revealed that she was pregnant with his baby. This resulted in Brody having to spend more time with Liesl and less time with Kylie. Even though she didn't see him as much as she wanted to, Kylie still tried to remain hopeful that things would work out with Brody. Unfortunately, her worst fears were confirmed several months later when Brody decided to end things with Kylie to be with Liesl. Heartbroken yet again, Kylie left town for a few months. She still has feelings for Brody, but is currently trying to keep them buried inside.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: none currently
Occupation: High school graduate
Family Life: After spending a few months staying with her mother's relatives, Kylie returned to Riverside after Christmas to stay with her mother and siblings again. She doesn't feel as close to her family as she used to be. Her biological father has been dead for the past few years. Her adoptive father is currently remarried and pays more attention to his wife and stepkids. Her relationship with her mother became strained once she found out about Kylie's relationship with Brody. She made several comparisons between Kylie and her stepmothers and urged her to end things with Brody. They still get along for the most part, but Kylie feels as though her mother doesn't understand her sometimes. However, the most tumultuous relationship in Kylie's family is between her and her younger sister Alexia, who views Kylie as an evil cheerleader who doesn't care about anyone else's feelings. She often goes out of her way to bully Kylie and rub Brody's rejection in her face. She has a pretty good relationship with the rest of her siblings, especially her older brother Jack, who is not only Brody's best friend, but is also engaged to Brody's sister (and Kylie's best friend) Miki.

Admirable Traits:

Negative Traits:

Bad Habits/Vices:
-smokes cigarettes
Hobbies/Interests: Alexia has always loved music ever since she was a little girl. She was barely in elementary school when she picked up a guitar for the first time. At the age of nine, her mother gave her the nickname of "Punk Rock Princess" after a song by the rock band Something Corporate. Every time the song would come on the radio, Alexia would jump up and down and try to intimate a rock star. By the time she was in junior high, she was playing guitar in her older brother Hayden's band Skyline. The band would later go on to achieve some fame and tour a few cities, but without Alexia. Her brother kicked her out the band shortly before they left on tour and replaced her with a guy named Souji, who he claimed "fit the image better". Since then, Alexia has taken to mostly playing her guitar in her room. Occasionally, she will play in public, but it's mostly limited to the music room at school. Other than music, she participated in several other extracurricular activities, including gymnastics, soccer, field hockey, and her biggest embarrassment, cheerleading. Since moving to Riverside, however, she's decided to make music her only hobby.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: New York City Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Alexia was pretty much an unplanned child. Her mother already had her hands full with her other two kids, Jack and Kylie, who were only toddlers at the time of Alexia's birth. Her father didn't really want to deal with another child and didn't care about the pregnancy at all until he thought that the baby would be a boy. He was out of town at the time of the birth, but returned two weeks later, excited to meet the son that he had already decided to call Alexander Gabriel. The excitement quickly turned to disappointment when he discovered that the baby wasn't a boy named Alexander Gabriel, but a girl named Alexia Gabrielle. A few months later, her father walked out on the family. Even though he left them for the babysitter, Alexia couldn't help but wonder if he would have stayed if she had been a boy. Alexia still saw her father on the weekends, but he cared more about his new girlfriend than his children. By the time Alexia was nine years old, her father was married to someone else and had signed away his parental rights. Her mother had also remarried and her new husband wound up adopting Alexia and her other siblings. Alexia's stepfather was pretty much the father that she never had, always showing her his love and support. He even allowed Alexia and her siblings to start calling him "Dad". As far as Alexia is concerned, he's her real father and her biological father is just a sperm donor. This is why it was especially hard on her when her mother and stepfather divorced four years later.
Favorite Moment: Getting accepted into Hayden's band
Relationship History: Alexia's first crush was on Hayden Howard, prior to the marriage of his father and her mother. He didn't feel the same way about her. At the time, she was really sad that he didn't share her feelings. However, she's now relieved that it didn't work out. Since she now considers Hayden's father her "real dad", she views her past crush Hayden as creepy. She got over Hayden for good when she met Tristan Wells, who randomly walked up to her at school one day and told her that he thought she was pretty. After they attended a school dance together, Tristan took her to the park one night and asked her to be his girlfriend. Alexia was so happy that she wound up crying before saying yes. Things between them got even better when Tristan's family moved in the same neighborhood as her family. Alexia would often climb out of her bedroom in the middle of the night to hang out with him, as well as sneak him into her room. Sadly, as time went on, she started seeing Tristan less and less. She couldn't understand why he wasn't around and would often sit in her bedroom, playing her guitar and singing about how much she loved and missed him. Her wish appeared to come true on Valentines Day, when she came home to find a bunch of balloons and candy on her front porch, but sadly her joy would be very short-lived. A few days later, Tristan was gone for good. It turned out that Tristan, his father, her father, and several other people were involved in an embezzlement scheme, causing them to leave town. Alexia caught up with him a few months later, only to discover that he had moved on and wanted nothing to do with her. Depressed over the collapse of her own relationship and her parents marriage, Alexia has developed a rather cynical view about love.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside High
Occupation: Full-time student
Family Life: Alexia was very upset over her mother's divorce. She didn't go to school for a little while and dressed in mostly black clothes. She directed a lot of anger towards her mother, whom she blamed for the divorce. She also unleashed a lot of negative feelings towards her siblings, especially her preppy older sister Kylie, whom she felt got attention than her. The anger continued when her mother decided to take in Kylie's best friend Bekah Bevington after her parents passed away. Already fed up with living with Kylie, Alexia resented the presence of yet another "cheerleader bitch" in the house and went out of her way to make Bekah feel unwelcome. To make matters worse, her mother had decided to let Bekah stay in Alexia's brother Hayden's old bedroom and even painted it pink just for her. It was also around this time that Alexia learned of the death of her biological father. Since she was estranged from him, she didn't really get too emotional at the news. However, she was thrilled to discover that her father's second marriage had produced a half brother named Sammy, whom her mother wound up taking in and making part of the family. Now living in Riverside with her family, Alexia is trying to get through her senior year of high school. She feels like she's trapped in a house full of "preppy bitches", but she's much happier now that her sister Kylie has left town. She's not thrilled at all about her older brother Jack's engagement to Miki Arthur because she doesn't want another "preppy bitch" in her family. Her relationship with her adoptive father is pretty much distant, since he prefers his current wife and stepkids to Alexia and her siblings. She is currently counting down the days until she graduates from high school and can be rid of her family.

Birth Name: Lucas Andrew Wall

Date Of Birth: November 22, 1994
Education: Senior at Riverside High
Relationship Status: Single

Height: 5'6
Build: Average
Hair Color/Style: Short brown hair
Eye Color: Blue
Skin Tone: Fair

Personality:
Admirable Traits:
-polite

Bad Habits/Vices:
-takes awhile to admit his feelings
Hobbies/Interests: Lucas loves baseball. He went to his first game when he was three years old and instantly became hooked. He started playing on his school team when he was only four. After spending a few years in the dugout, he was finally moved all the way up to second base when he was in the eighth grade. He was told that they needed people to fill up spaces that were left behind by kids who moved away, so he didn't really think anything of it. However, he got a confidence boost when he got to play third base in high school, proving that he was actually a good player and not doomed to sit in the dugout forever. After moving to Riverside, he tried out for the baseball team and got placed on third base yet again. Despite his love of baseball, Lucas's favorite thing to do is draw pictures. He's always liked art and took art lessons for six years. He was also in the Future Artists of Tomorrow club when he was in junior high. He wants to draw cartoons someday and plans to go to college someday to learn animation. His other hobby is going to the beach. He usually spends time sitting out and looking at the water, but he does surf on occasion.
Past
Birth Place/Hometown: Birth: Columbia, Maryland Raised: Mabtown
Family Life: Lucas was the youngest of his parents' five children and their only son. His father worked out of town a lot, leaving his mother to take care of the kids all by herself. When Lucas was three years old, he was sent to live with his godmother Dani and her kids. He was only supposed to be there for a year or two, but it wound up turning into the rest of his life. The following year, he moved with Dani's family to Mabtown. By the time he was seven, he was calling Dani “mom”. By the time he was nine, Dani and her second husband decided to adopt him. He now considers himself more a part of their family than of a part of his biological family.
Favorite Moment: Getting to play third base
Relationship History: Lucas was barely in kindergarten when he met Lila Weirich on the playground one day. He liked her right away, but his shyness made things a little difficult, resulting in them being just friends for awhile. It took him several years to finally confess his feelings to her. Lila immediately became his artistic muse. The majority of his artwork consisted of pictures of Lila, all done from memory. By the time Lucas started high school, he and Lila were a full-fledged committed couple in love, complete with their own song (appropriately titled "Our Song"). However, their relationship wasn't always happy. Both Lucas and Lila had major insecurities and were often afraid that one of them would dump the other for someone better. They would often let these thoughts completely go to their head, causing their dates to often take a downward turn. Eventually they would manage to calm each other down, but the worries would always resurface at a later date. At the beginning of Lucas's junior year, Lila moved away to another state, which put an end to their long relationship. Lucas found it extremely difficult to move on at first, but he wound up developing a crush on Kara Torres, a girl that he met at the beach one day. Thanks to some helpful tips from his new friend Monte Mondego, he was able to successfully pursue Kara and wound up going out with her. Sadly, lightning didn't strike twice and the relationship wound up being very short-lived. Currently, Lucas is single. He's over both Lila and Kara, but he hasn't tried dating anyone else.
Present/Current Lifestyle
Current City: Riverside
School: Riverside High
Occupation: Full-time student
Family Life: Lucas's adoptive parents got divorced when he was fourteen. He barely speaks to his adoptive father now. His biological parents also split up as well. Not too long after their separation, Lucas's four biological older sisters, Madison, Peyton, Taylor, and Morgan appeared in Mabtown and wound up renting the house right next door to Lila's family. He immediately clashed with Madison, who was angry that he had chosen his adoptive family over his biological one. When the hurricane hit Mabtown, he moved with his both adoptive family and biological sisters to Riverside. Since his sisters were having a hard time getting back on their feet, his adoptive family took them in as well. He currently lives with his adoptive family and two of his biological sisters, Peyton and Taylor. He has a pretty good relationship with all of his siblings. Out of his biological sisters, he's closest to Peyton, who's even more shy and reserved than he is. Out of his adoptive siblings, he's closest to Nick, whom he refers to as a cooler and better looking version of himself.
