Name: Adriana Morte

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Nationality: French

Face Claim: Elsa Hosk

Focus: Ballet and Vocal Performance

View attachment 815043

Personality: Adriana is outgoing and charismatic, but she is a low key rebel. She is a bit of a flirt (that might be an understatement). She seems a bit emotionally detached. Adriana is one of those girls that doesn't take crap from anyone, she is very short tempered. But she has a nice side too. She can be very kind to those she trusts. She is also a bit sarcastic at times. Despite her general bimbo reputation, she’s actually rather smart, never getting less than a B in any class.
Adriana refuses to use contractions of words because she thinks it sounds "unclean and improper". She wouldn't force anyone else to do so though. She can be manipulative, especially when it comes to boys. She easily can wrap them around her finger. Don’t let her sweet tongue fool you, she will backstab you at a moment’s notice. Most likely, she’s gathered information about you that you wouldn’t want spread, and of course has done so. Overall, trusting her is most likely a mistake. Most likely she’s using you for a fling or light entertainment.

Adriana always loves participate in gossip, rather it be about her or someone else. It doesn’t matter if it’s true, any publicity is good publicity. She’d never disprove something someone said about her, the chaos is far too fun. She loves hearing about the crazy things she’s never done.

Bio: Adriana is the daughter of a French movie director. Being the only daughter of four, she’s used to being treated like a princess, even if her twin brother tries to steal the attention.
When she was twelve, her parents got divorced and suddenly the house became emptier. She’d always been more attached to her mom, but without her Adriana felt the loss of attention. She began to seek it elsewhere, anywhere she could. She focused more on her dance classes, desiring the praise she’d get when she did the moves perfectly. She climbed the social ladder at events, becoming a very active French socialite. She began preforming, loving the attention of dozens of strangers. When she finished high school, preforming arts college seemed like it was really the only place for her. She applied to many places, but had her heart set on Spain, and of course, she was accepted into Gibraltar.

Bio: Sock doesn’t like to talk a lot about their early life. They’re a different person now. Growing up always felt insanely confusing and uncomfortable. It wasn’t the circumstances per say. Sock alway grew up in a relatively okay household. Nothing bad really happened at home, but at school was another thing. They were intensely bullied for most, if not all, the things they did. It seemed every part of them was socially rejected.

Sock began to conform in middle school. They grew out their hair, wore dresses and bows, and started doing girlier things. Fitting in was hard, but anything was better than being attacked for existing every day. It was tiring. They began to fall into a depression, barely finding the energy to do anything anymore.

Eventually when they hit puberty they found out they were intersex. Things started to make a little more sense. Life was a little easier to rationalize. But this knowledge made them feel weird and confused in other areas of life.

The only real, vivid memory Sock has of childhood is messily chopping their hair off in the bathroom. Everything else blurs and warps, but that feeling of acceptance and clarity changed everything. They began presenting how they had before, existing as they wanted too, not how others wanted. Bullying was persistent, but they weren’t backing down anymore. Still, at 18 it felt easier to move on. They found a college in Spain and after getting a scholarship, left for Europe.

View attachment 815139
Name: Vivian May
Age: 18 (February 9th)
Gender: Female
Nationality: American
Face Claim: Juliet Doherty
View attachment 815141
Focus: Dance (Specifically Ballet)
Personality: Vivian always sees the good in people, until you do her wrong, she will treat you with at most respect and kindness. She is definitely the type to hold a grudge though, so be careful not to cross her - she may never forgive you. If you do end up crossing her, she will do everything in her power to make sure you know she's mad at you. Vivian is really book smart, but no so much street smart. She doesn't have much knowledge when it comes to boys, but she always tries her best to flirt. She loves partying since she never got to high school. Her favourite past time would have to be cooking, although she isn't very good. Vivian will always cover for you - even if you aren't friends. She has anxiety and depression, which sometimes get the better of her. To sum her up; she's sweet until she's not.
Bio: Throughout high school, Vivian was your typical quiet girl. Focused on grades, didn't party, had few friends, etc. However, when she came Gibraltar, most of that changed - especially the party part. Growing up sheltered, she never experienced life to its fullest. Although she partied a lot, lived life on the edge, and had fun, Vivian always made sure to keep her grades up. Her family consists of her mother, Melody, and her brother, Lucas. Her father died a couple years before Vivian moved out due to heart problem. Vivian was much, much, closer to her father than her mother or brother. He always told her to follow her dream of being a dancer, whereas her mom hated that idea. Vee knows deep down that her mother likes that she dances, although the bi weekly phone calls she gets yelled at through tell her otherwise.

Name: Jack Sloan
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Nationality: America
Face Claim: Whoever is on the picture
Focus: Guitarist/Vocalist
Personality: Jack is a character. He is likable and good-natured, but he is constantly getting in trouble with his teachers and other authority figures. He always wears a smile, even when he's getting his ass chewed, and the people doing the ass chewing hate it. The ass chewee loves it. He is very outgoing and makes friends with nearly everyone. Despite all the trouble he gets into, he has excellent grades even though he's always spending time screwing around. He prefers not to be by himself, so he's constantly hopping through different friend groups and you can usually expect him to be anywhere but his house. He doesn't tolerate bullies at all, he gets his fair share of bullying, but hates it more when someone else is being bullied. Jack is pretty insecure. He feels like no one takes him serious, and he longs for a serious relationship with someone.
Bio: Growing up, he was surrounded by music. His dad was the drummer for his own band. They weren't very well known, just a local band that played local venues and opened local concerts. His mom was a music theory teacher at the local community college. So naturally, he developed a large interest in music. Mainly the blues and rock genres. He joined his school band in middle school and played the Trumpet. It was also the year that he got his first girlfriend and first kiss. Her name Sylvia, and she was everything to him. He loved her, and thought she loved him. On her birthday, he decided to surprise her. He went to her house so that he could play her Happy Birthday on his trumpet. He thought that she'd like it, and was excited. When he knocked on the door, some guy answered. Jack was taken aback and asked who he was. The boy answered that he was Sylvia's boyfriend. Jack was at first confused. The boy asked him who he was, but Jack just said that he had gone to the wrong house. Dejected, he went back home. From then on, he had trouble talking to girls that he had feelings for. He was scared of rejection. In 7th grade, he picked up the guitar, and everything seemed to just resonate with him. His first guitar was bought for him for his birthday. It was a Squire Stratocaster HSS. It was candy apple red, and had a black pickgaurd. It's neck was Indian Laurel. He also got a cheap Fender practice amp and everything else he would need. He loved it, and he would spend hours with his guitar every day. What his parents didn't love was that he like to play loud. Very, very loud. By the time he was in high school, he already had a band, which they named Sonik Bliss. Jack was the lead singer and lead guitarist of their band. Besides him, there were only two other members. A bassist and a drummer. Jack also had upgraded his guitar. He now had a Gibson Les Paul with a Marshall amp. In his senior year of high school, they decided to participate in a local talent show. The song they decided to play was White Room by Cream. They practiced all the time, any chance they got. When they had it down perfect, they perfected it even more. The show came up, and when it was there turn, Jack was feeling calm as shit. Despite this, he barely remembers the performance. All he knows is that they kicked ass. His performance was so good that he was noticed Gibraltar Academy. He was thrilled to know that he had his college secured.

Name: Chiyo Kawamoto
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Nationality: Japanese
Face Claim: Hanae
Focus: Contemporary/Jazz Music Degree
Personality: Despite Chiyo’s innocent-looking exterior, she is extremely shrewd and sly. She will always judge a book by its cover, as anything she looks for in a “friend” can be seen on the outside anyway. She hungers for success and will not stop at anything to achieve what she desires. Because of this, there are very few people in the world who she actually cares for, yet many fall under the illusion that they are one of the lucky few. Of course, by the time she looks at her marks, she always passes with flying colours, either due to her own intellect or that of her peers. She is always one to think things through in great depth before following through with them, because she is well aware of the effects one slip-up can make.
Finding a romantic partner is the least of her worries, partially to focus on her own successes, but also because she is a closeted demiromantic bisexual. Having never had a boyfriend or girlfriend before, Chiyo gets quite awkward when flirted with. As she is so goal-oriented, she does not normally participate in any hobbies, although playing her clarinet always clears her mind and calms her down. Not quite an introvert but not quite an extrovert, she much prefers listening and taking it all in, rather than making herself the centre of attention. Despite this, she is still typically found at parties, or particularly dramatic moments.
Biography: Chiyo grew up in Tokyo with her father and her older sister, Gina. She never knew her mother, as she died when she was young. Her conception was of violence and unwillingness. Although she was never told, she knew that her mother was the one who was in the wrong. She refused to believe her father, one of the few people in the world she cared about, would ever sink to that level of disgrace. Her father runs an arts and crafts business, and sells handmade necklaces, earrings and the like. Although he earns enough money to sustain the family, the reason the Kawamotos can afford a place in Tokyo is due to the large inheritance left, strangely, to Chiyo, by her mother. On her tenth birthday, Chiyo came home to find her father had bought her a clarinet. Since then, she sparked a love of music, and, despite learning many other instruments, treasures the clarinet above all others.

Pink Chiffon

Name: Dinah Kelly

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Nationality: Australian

Face Claim: Giorgia Whigham

Focus: Circus arts

Personality: Dinah lives life flying by the seat of her pants. She's never met a plan that she didn't try to subvert, and she's never met a bad idea she didn't love. Dinah has a loud, larger than life presence. She thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread, and she will make that know to anyone who will listen. She's got a way of talking otherwise rational and well-meaning people to stoop to her level and go absolutely wild. She loves a good party, and can't keep one a secret if her life depended on it. In her world, the more the merrier doesn't even begin to cut it. She isn't easily fooled and has got street smarts in spades. She's grown up around her fair share of people who's whole job revolves around tricking others, she's got a pretty good bullshit detector.

Bio: Dinah grew up with a big family in the suburbs just outside Melbourne, AUS. Her family was large, loud, and loving and she wouldn't change anything about how she was brought up. Dinah is the oldest child of 5, all of whom are girls. She loves to crack jokes about her unorthodox upbringing, she especially telling people she was raised by clowns. While it's not entirely true, her dad was a mime, she relishes in the initial look of surprise she gets from folks. Due to the nature of their parent's work, Dinah and her sisters grew up traveling all around Australia and Europe with their parents. Dinah was enamored with the performances under the big top. The bright lights, the sparkly outfits, the applause, she wanted to be apart of that. Despite her parent's penchant for performing, they were very adamant that the girls would not be in a show until they were older and had gotten an education. This drove Dinah insane when she was younger, but once her parents made up their mind, there was little to do about it. Even still, this didn't stop Dinah from learning from the other performers, she was taught a myriad of skills from trapeze to sword swallowing. Dinah, in an effort to respect her parent's wishes, still did her best to do well in school. She may not have been top of the class material, her marks were still good enough for Clown College, and Gibraltar Academy. After much deliberation and some convincing from her parents, she chose Gibraltar Academy.
