Carter St. James (C.J)
Lead Vocalist

f0393a91625fcc590ad4667aeff1450e.jpg593c55198321d34992dd99146a3110c7.jpg65c0da08dbf4356117187cd7b42477fa.jpg


Carter "CJ" St. James has always been the outlier in her family—a whirlwind of chaos in a house of order, a punk rock melody in a symphony of classical refinement. She was the flame her parents wished they could tame. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, she grew up surrounded by the hum of the city, the clash of cultures, and the ever-present pulse of music. Her parents—both highly educated, polished, and successful—never quite understood their wild child, but they loved her nonetheless. They envisioned her following a path of academia, maybe law school or medicine, something respectable. Instead, CJ carved her own way, one that included electric guitars, late-night jam sessions, and the occasional run-in with trouble.

Carter is exactly where she wants to be—at the helm of a rock band she formed with her closest friends; carving out a space in the local music scene, playing late-night sets in underground venues and dreaming of making it big. Music isn’t just something she loves—it’s the only thing that has ever made sense. As the lead vocalist, she commands the stage with her fiery energy, a voice that crackles with raw passion, and a presence impossible to ignore. Offstage, she’s the reckless mastermind behind many of their spontaneous misfit adventures, always with a wild idea that somehow, against all logic, everyone ends up going along with.

Whether it’s sneaking into an abandoned subway station to record a music video, convincing the band to crash an exclusive afterparty just for the hell of it, or orchestrating an impromptu rooftop concert that almost gets them arrested, she’s always leading the charge. Her charm, quick wit, and attitude make her magnetic, but they also get her—and everyone around her—into plenty of shenanigans. Carter makes life feel like a movie—chaotic, unpredictable, and always loud. Their band, still unnamed but full of promise, plays in dive bars and underground venues, steadily gaining traction in the local music scene. They don’t just play music; they live it.

Her look is an extension of that chaos—90s grunge meets color explosion, always with a touch of black to tie it all together. She lives in denim—worn-in jackets covered in patches, ripped jeans, oversized sweatshirts, and old band tees that have seen better days. She mixes it up with graphic tees, flannel tied around her waist, and layers of necklaces that jangle when she moves. Her fingers are regularly adorned with an array of rings and her sneakers are falling apart. Her boots are scuffed to hell, and her ever-changing hair is currently a choppy, uneven mess of green—like she cut it on a whim, because she probably did.

Despite her wild streak, CJ’s heart is huge, especially when it comes to her friends. They’re her chosen family, the people who truly see her in a way her actual family never could. Because in the St. James household, everything is about presentation. A perfect family, a perfect marriage, a perfect life. But CJ knows the truth—an affair that would ruin her perception of love, a secret whispered behind closed doors, ignored by a father who would rather maintain the illusion than face reality. It’s the kind of thing that should bother CJ more, but it just confirms what she’s always known: love and perfection are lies, and she was never built to chase them. Just the thrill of the stage lights. But when she finds herself starting to fall for her close friend and roadie, things start to get a little....tricky.

She doesn’t know exactly where she’s headed, but she knows she was made for this—music, movement, breaking the rules, and figuring it all out with the people that make her feel most alive. And at 22, a natural flirt with a voice that cuts through the noise and a fire she refuses to put out, Carter St. James is just getting started.

Name: omnia flora

Age: 23

Gender: gender fluid

Height: 165cm

Instrument: drums

Personality: Offstage, omnia is laid-back, nonchalant, and unbothered by the chaos around them. They have a natural, relaxed vibe, often going with the flow of life, comfortable in their own quiet space. They tend to keep to themselves, preferring the company of plants over people, and don’t feel the need to express emotions openly. Their interactions are usually low-energy, with a quiet presence that makes them easy to overlook at first.
However, when they step behind their drum set, Omnia transforms. The calm and collected individual becomes an aggresive one, pouring all their unspoken emotions into their music. Their drumming style is aggressive, hard-hitting, and precise, a stark contrast to their serene personality. It’s as if the drums themselves are a means for Omnia to express the anger and frustration they've struggled to let out. Despite their intense playing style, Omnia doesn’t seek attention or recognition; they simply love the catharsis drumming brings, finding solace in the rhythm and power it gives them.
Omnia struggles with expressing emotions, particularly anger, due to their upbringing, where emotions were suppressed. This has led them to bottle up their feelings over time, only to unleash them through music.


Appearance: omnia stands a bit on the shorter side of the spectrum, their hair being a pure white, short and often messy, with omnia not bothering to fix it. Their eyes are a dusty, haunting grey, doe eyed and often half lided despite usually getting a full 8+ hours of sleep. Their skin is pasty and light, likely due to their burning hatred for the stupid ball of gas in the sky (yes it is because they tried staring at it once and it burned their eyes.) They tend to wear loose and over sized clothing, opting for pastel and light colours. They often smell like floral plants and herbs due to their hobby of gardening. Theh have a soft, unthreatening presence to them.

Bio/ background: Omnia grew up in an environment where emotions were barely ever expressed, or more specifically, were not welcomed. Any emotions shown would often lead to undesirable outcomes. Although Omnia has long since escaped that environment and now lives with their elderly grandfather, who has always been nothing but kind, they still struggle to express emotions—especially anger. This emotional repression led to bottled-up feelings, which in turn caused other mental health issues.
During their forced school curriculum, Omnia chose the drums as their instrument, despite being weak and sickly. They thought, "How hard could hitting something be?" Well, Omnia soon discovered it could be quite challenging. But they also found something else: when they played, it felt as though they didn’t have to hold back their emotions anymore. In fact, it felt like the drums expected them to release all the pent-up rage they had accumulated over the years. Drumming became a coping mechanism for them—"much healthier than sleeping all day," their grandfather would say. Eventually, Omnia became quite skilled at playing and joined a band since their grandfather encouraged them to put their talents to use. Outside of their band, omnia attends a local university, majoring in horticulture.

*:・゚✦ MONTGOMERY "MONTY" MOUSSETTE

—— She likes boys that play guitar
Tattooed arms and a beat up car
I know she's gonna break my heart *:・゚✦


Name: Montgomery "Monty" Moussette. Some people have also given him the nickname of "Moose"

Age: 24

Gender: Cisgender Male

Romantic / Sexual Orientation: Heteroromantic Bicurious Heterosexual

Appearance:
- Height: 5'11"
- Weight: 168 lbs.
- Ethnicity: Portuguese (mom) x French-Canadian (dad)
- Hair Color: Brown
- Eye Color: Brown

Bio/Background:
Ever since he was born, Monty kept his parents on their toes. He's energetic, fearless, confident, brash, impulsive, and enigmatic. Never one to shy away from a challenge, he drove his parents to near insanity trying to keep him alive through his childhood, as he would try to jump off couches in an attempt to fly, try to go down the stairs in a laundry basket dressed as a makeshift Nascar driver, terrorize the neighborhood with his endlessly creative pranks, and regularly get in trouble for stealing candy from the local grocery store. He was a troublemaker and a rebel from the start. His parents always said he was an only child because after having him, there was no way they would have wanted another. Monty was a ball of energy and undiagnosed ADHD, racing from one hyper fixation to the next.
He was also highly motivated by money, often chasing random job endeavors with his closest friends - from lemonade stands to mowing lawns to trying their hand as Youtubers and door-to-door salesmen for handmade crafts - Montgomery was always involved in something. School wasn't for him, although he managed mediocre grades, he often got in trouble, struggled with staying focused during long lectures, and regularly cut class. His spitfire personality got him into his share of fistfights growing up, some that he won and some that he lost. Regardless, Monty has never been one to back down from an altercation.
As he entered his teenage years, his rowdiness did not decline although it did change direction. Monty took up a new range of hobbies, particularly skateboarding and music, which he and his parents both believe saved his life. He found he could lose himself properly in music, that he could express himself and release his endless amounts of energy in the form of intense rock and grunge beats. He had a knack for music and picked it up easily. Once in, he was hooked. Electric guitar was his first love, but he moved on to learn bass and vocals. He also got into music production, remixing songs on his GarageBand before upgrading to more advanced apps to improve his content. He also became interested in lyricism and poetry, even starting to go out with friends to karaoke bars and slam poetry events to test their skills. Concert venues became his second home, and he spent the majority of his hard-earned money on concert tickets and new instruments. He became a passionate artist and fan, enjoying deep dives into the lives of his favorite musicians, watching interviews, and studying music theory. He developed a taste for many indie, rock, punk, and grunge beats. Safe to say, the boy had found his addiction of choice and was sticking to it. Luckily, it was the only addiction that stuck with him. Monty is no stranger to substances. He's had his fair share of drug experimentation - he likes micro dosing psilocybin and also knows his way around acid, cocaine, marijuana, DMT, and of course, nicotine and alcohol. Despite his carefree approach to drugs and regular recreational use of them, Monty hasn't found himself struggling with what he'd consider substance abuse. To him, it's just a fun thing to try from time-to-time. He knows he might be playing with fire, but frankly, he doesn't care. He's here for a good time, not a long time.
He's also always been a sucker for women, particularly tall women with piercings and tattoos. Throw in some dyed hair, a nicotine addiction, and a hot temper, and you've pretty much got yourself Montgomery Moussette's dream girl. Like with all other things, when it comes to relationships, Monty is drawn to chaos. He's been in many very short-term relationships, the type to fall in love fast and hard, but find himself in a breakup only a few weeks after they started dating. And a few weeks after that, he's found someone new who's he positive is the one. He's been in a sample of toxic relationships, which is unsurprising given how fast many of his relationships escalate. He's not innocent in these relationships, either, as his intense personality is perfectly suited for an obsessive, steamy, red-flag-filled romance. He falls in love fast and hard, and he'd be the first to admit that he's drawn to partners who he knows aren't great for him. What can he say, maybe he just likes getting his heart broke.
Although he loves women and imagines himself ending up with one, he's comfortable in his masculinity and his sexuality and is open to exploring relationships with men. He's kissed a few boys before, more drug-induced concert make-outs than anything, but is open to more homoerotic experiences.
Outside of music, sex, and drugs, Monty also is a rock climber, a huge dog lover, a fan of any type of art or music festival, gets most of his clothes thrifted, goes to rallies and protests for things he's passionate about, and enjoys anything involving riding a board of some sort (think skateboarding, longboarding, snowboarding, surfing, etc.).
Beyond the usual chaos that surrounds him, Monty really is a kind person. He's impulsively self-centered, and often does things without thinking of the consequences for himself and others, but he really does usually mean well. As a friend, he's loyal, loving, and always there to cheer you up or listen to your problems. He'll always be there, even though he probably showed up half an hour late. Easily distracted, but somehow still reliable, if you can get past his occasionally overwhelming energy, Monty is one of the best friends you could have. He can be surprisingly caring, thoughtful, and is a firm believer in justice and equality. Although it might come as a surprise to some, he's a feminist and a social activist, even though he doesn't always act in exact accordance with his belief system. He's trying his best (well, close to his best) and will at least make sure that everybody's laughing and enjoying themselves. He notices the wallflowers and outcasts of the world, and always goes out of his way to connect with them and make sure they're comfortable and happy. He's brave, fearless (other than a strangely irrational phobia of clowns), open-minded, and always ready to fight for his friends and for what he believes in. And party. He's always ready to party. And of course, there's nothing in this world that Monty loves more than music.

Monty was born in Madeira, Portugal, which is where his mother is from and and most of her family. She wanted to give birth close to family, so Monty lived the first three months of his life on the beautiful Portuguese island. At 3 months, they moved back to finish raising him in Orange County, California, where he developed his love for the ocean and learned to surf and swim. His family moved to Brooklyn, New York when he was 14. He's gone back to Portugal 6 times since being born there, mostly to visit family in Madeira, but he's also visited extended family in Lisbon and taken a road trip through the Algarve. Outside of Portugal, he's also traveled to Canada, Spain, France, Mexico, and the Dominican Republic. He moved out from his family home at 19 and has lived with different roommates ever since. He currently is roommates with Story in a small apartment in Brooklyn, a his dog, Chloe. He's worked a lot of random jobs, never really finding anything that suits him. From retail, restaurant work, lifeguarding, being a sound tech at a local music venue, working at a doggy daycare, a smoke shop, a gas station clerk, and his current job at a skate shop.

Running jokes in the group include; that Monty is stinky (he forgot to wear deodorant one time), that's he's submissive and breedable, that he fucked a pizza in the supply closet at Enna's Uncle's record shop, that he and Carter have almost gotten arrested on countless occasions due to their antics, that Carter has made him laugh so hard that coffee's come out of his nose twice

Relationships:
- Carter: first friend he made when he moved to Brooklyn at 14, him and her are OG members of the band, very close
- Omnia: childhood friend; they got that sibling-friend relationship where they're constantly bullying each other
- Story: his roommate
- Erin: childhood close friend. They dated for a while in high school before Erin confessed to being a lesbian. Monty is still the only person she's told and although he wants her to be happy more than anything, he respects her wishes and let's her continue her facade. He's even been her fake boyfriend at a handful of weddings and family events. He does not like her current boyfriend at all, and generally thinks Erin is too good for him and the band they're in together

Mitsuki Hori is a reserved yet deeply passionate individual. As a dedicated music enthusiast, she finds her truest form of self-expression through rock and alternative music, often seeking solace in the raw, unfiltered sound of her guitar. While she may initially appear aloof or distant, this demeanor stems not from disinterest but from her introspective nature and cautious approach to forming connections. Mitsuki is observant and thoughtful, choosing her words carefully and valuing deep, meaningful relationships over fleeting, surface-level interactions. Beneath her cool and composed exterior lies a kind-hearted and deeply considerate soul, especially toward those she holds dear. Her emotions, often kept guarded in daily life, pour out through her music, revealing a depth of feeling that words alone cannot capture.

Her reluctance to open up is not without reason. Having been a part of multiple bands in the past, she once allowed herself to grow attached to her bandmates, only to experience the painful reality of being left behind—no messages, no goodbyes, just silence. The sting of those losses has made her wary, reinforcing the emotional walls she now keeps firmly in place.

Yet, despite the setbacks and disappointments, Mitsuki refuses to let go of her passion. She remains steadfast in her belief that music is her true path, that her dedication will ultimately lead her where she needs to be.

Perhaps, one day, she will no longer flinch when someone mistakenly calls her Mitski.









h

istory





Mitsuki was born in Queens, New York, to Japanese immigrant parents who, along with her uncle, had moved from Kyoto in search of better opportunities. Her parents worked tirelessly to establish a stable life, while her uncle, a passionate music lover, opened a small record shop that became a second home for Mitsuki. It was through him that her love for music first blossomed—whether it was the vinyl records he played in the shop or the radio tunes that filled their home, music was always present in her life.

From a young age, Mitsuki was captivated by the sounds that surrounded her. When she picked up her first guitar in middle school, it was as if something clicked into place. She practiced obsessively, spending hours honing her craft, fingers raw from pressing the strings, but she never wavered. Her dedication paid off. Even at a young age, her talent stood out, and by the time she reached middle school, she had already earned a reputation for being far more skilled than her peers.

Her musical abilities made her popular—especially when older students took notice. She was invited to join a band with upperclassmen, a rare and exciting opportunity. The experience was exhilarating, and before long, she became a sort of "girl crush" among her peers, admired for her talent and confidence on stage. But all good things come to an end. When the older band members graduated and scattered to universities across the country, the band dissolved, leaving Mitsuki behind.

She hated the loneliness that followed. Music had always been her anchor, but now, without her band, she felt adrift. Seeking solace, she picked up the bass guitar, taught herself how to use a mixer, and immersed herself in technical skills—but it still wasn’t enough. Desperate for a distraction, she asked her uncle if she could work at his record shop. It wasn’t exactly the stage, but at least it was close to the underground music scene. She supposed that was something.

Her uncle, however, quickly noticed that her brooding presence wasn’t great for business. Customers avoided lingering when she was around, so he did what any good uncle would do—he nudged her back toward the thing she loved most. “Go hang around the underground scene,” he told her. “I won’t tell your parents.”

So she did.

Mitsuki spent all her time in the underground venues, soaking in the raw, unfiltered energy of the music. It was here that she met another band—people who recognized her talent and welcomed her into their ranks. Playing with them reignited something in her, a sense of belonging. They practiced, performed, and grew together. When a record label eventually signed them, it felt like a dream come true.

But dreams don’t always last.

As time went on, the label pressured them to alter their sound, to polish their raw edges into something more mainstream. Mitsuki resisted. She loved the band, but she hated what they were becoming. She endured it for as long as she could, but eventually, the compromises became unbearable. With a heavy heart, she walked away.

Returning to the underground scene, she was determined to start over—but this time, on her own terms. She adopted a new persona, hiding her identity behind a mask. "Enna" became her alias, a name whispered in hushed admiration among those who had heard her play. She let her voice and her guitar skills speak for themselves, avoiding deep connections. If no one knew her real name, they couldn’t leave her. It was safer that way.

She poured everything into the music, burying herself in the scene until it was time to move on to university. She enrolled in a music production program, but it never felt right. After a year, she dropped out, a decision that deeply disappointed her parents. They saw it as reckless, a failure, but her uncle understood. He took her in, letting her live with him under the condition that she at least worked diligently in the record shop. She did her best, and in time, even developed an interest in some of the records she once ignored. But her uncle knew the truth—she wasn’t meant to be tied down. Music was her real home, and he wouldn’t stand in the way of that.

When she finally returned to the underground scene, she was welcomed back with open arms. Word of her talent had only grown in her absence, and soon, she found herself recruited into another band. This group had a vastly different sound from her previous one, something fresh and exciting. For a while, it felt right—until tensions within the band reached a boiling point. Arguments escalated, and before long, the group fractured beyond repair.

Mitsuki didn’t dwell on it. She had learned by now that nothing lasts forever.

Years passed, and she continued to drift from one musical project to another, never staying in one place too long. Then, an offer came—a new band, one unlike any she had been part of before. She hesitated. Was it worth the risk? Was she ready to trust again?

Something about them felt different.

Maybe, just maybe, this was where everything would change.









L

ikes.





Mitsuki's passions are deeply woven into the fabric of her identity. Music is more than a love for her—it is her essence. Whether she is playing her guitar, mixing sounds, or simply immersing herself in the beats of an old record, music is her sanctuary. Her love for mixing developed during her more solitary years, allowing her to experiment with sound and carve out something uniquely hers. She also has a sweet spot for mangoes, their taste evoking memories of childhood summers when life felt simpler. Cats, much like her, are creatures of independence and quiet affection, and she has a habit of feeding strays outside her uncle’s shop. Her appreciation for vintage items extends beyond just old records—thrift stores, antique finds, anything with a story captivates her. The underground music scene is where she feels most alive; the raw energy, the uninhibited creativity, the pulse of something real and unfiltered—it’s the closest thing to home. Some of her more indulgent habits include smoking, which she finds strangely meditative, and coffee, which she drinks black and strong at all hours. Bubble tea is a rare but welcome treat, a contrast to her otherwise bitter beverage choices. As for beer, it’s not so much the taste but the experience of sharing a cheap drink in a dimly lit venue that makes it enjoyable.









D

islikes.





On the other hand, there are things Mitsuki cannot stand. Brussels sprouts have always been an absolute no-go, no matter how they’re prepared. Corporate meddling is another major irritant—having experienced firsthand how labels try to strip away an artist’s authenticity, she resents the way profit often comes at the cost of creative integrity. Monotony is suffocating to her; she thrives on unpredictability and loathes anything that feels stagnant. Spiders are one of the few things that can genuinely unnerve her, their small size doing nothing to lessen her unease. She has a deep-seated distrust of cops, likely stemming from years of run-ins at underground venues and witnessing how authority figures tend to disrupt artistic spaces. Tequila, too, is a firm no—it brings back memories of one particularly bad experience that she’d rather not relive. But perhaps the thing she fears most, above all else, is abandonment. The pain of being left behind has shaped her, making her wary of forming deep attachments. It’s easier, she believes, to keep people at arm’s length than to risk the sting of loss again.

story mcqueen
the keyboardist



outfit of the day​

now playing​


name
Astoria "Story" McQueen

age
22

instrument
Keyboard (main) and Guitar, goes hard on a tambourine though.

appearance
Recognizable from a mile away, Story prides herself on her larger-than-life curly hair even if she's only standing at 5 foot and 3 inches tall. At a young age, Story grabbed onto a funky aesthetic and has only evolved as the years go on. She loves a costume as her ootd and will pay top dollar for items she "needs" in her collection. She keeps up a clean appearance. Her nails are always done but never too long - since it would be a detriment to her piano playing technique over time. She spends a lot of time looking proper since her firey hair is borderline unacceptable in serious venues she performs at.

personality
Loud! And sometimes wrong! Story is intimidating to interact with sometimes, but once you've wiggled yourself in, you're golden. She's your golden retriever friend, your fun friend, but don't rely on her to plan a three-day vacation. Growing up, Story's family was well off and moved all over the California coastline. Her choices in life really screams only-child and she keeps her privileges obvious but never to be relied on. She's got a "3-strikes and your out" rule when it comes to helping friends monetarily.

Story is bisexual, but prefers to date women. She hasn't dated a man since 8th grade, and she's not looking into dating or sleeping with one any time soon. "I'm a practicing lesbian with a wandering eye." She's not looking for anything serious in New York City, and is a serial ghoster. Any reason to go out, she will take it.

background
There is no tragic story behind it all. Marcus Sandoval and Dylan McQueen met while living in San Francisco and fell in love there. Marcus worked the Museum of Modern Art as an art curator and Dylan worked for Google. They were in their 30s and both had stable jobs, so it made sense to look into adoption to start their family. The happy couple decided on the surrogacy route, and their friend, Lorelai, volunteered to carry their child. She has always been a figure in Story's life if she ever needed a "motherly figure". With Story's untraditional upbringing, her sense of self and artistic ventures has always been supportive. She was wearing tutus to school until her Swan Lake phase was over, and to some, 3rd grade is a little late and concerning, but she was simply enjoying childhood until the very last moment.

The pivot to obsessing over ballet to piano was an easy one. Story started piano lessons at the age of 7 after all. It was an afterschool hobby her dads signed her up with to show her discipline and dedication, and she'd tell you she had more fits and tantrums about the instrument at the beginning. As her interest in music widen, the more she appreciated classical music, and she trained her ear quickly to forever love music. Many interests come and go for Story but the piano never left. She now attends Berklee College of Music as a Composition major while working as an event pianist.

The band isn't a priority to Story. She joined (maybe) a year ago after their keyboardist left them in the dust, and she's stuck around since. Now she's really stuck since she's Monty's roommate (by choice, she likes the chaos). She likes everyone, and the scene is like a little playtime, but she's not putting all her eggs in that basket when she's got a whole professional pianist career in the making. Her whimsy keeps the facade going, but maybe it'll get in the way or on someone's nerves when the band's success starts to look a bit more serious.


Name: Astoria "Story" McQueen

Age: 22

Instrument: Keyboard (main) and Guitar, goes hard on a tambourine though.

Appearance: Recognizable from a mile away, Story prides herself on her larger-than-life curly hair even if she's only standing at 5 foot and 3 inches tall. At a young age, Story grabbed onto a funky aesthetic and has only evolved as the years go on. She loves a costume as her ootd and will pay top dollar for items she "needs" in her collection. She keeps up a clean appearance. Her nails are always done but never too long - since it would be a detriment to her piano playing technique over time. She spends a lot of time looking proper since her firey hair is borderline unacceptable in serious venues she performs at.

Personality: Loud! And sometimes wrong! Story is intimidating to interact with sometimes, but once you've wiggled yourself in, you're golden. She's your golden retriever friend, your fun friend, but don't rely on her to plan a three-day vacation. Growing up, Story's family was well off and moved all over the California coastline. Her choices in life really screams only-child and she keeps her privileges obvious but never to be relied on. She's got a "3-strikes and your out" rule when it comes to helping friends monetarily.

Story is bisexual, but prefers to date women. She hasn't dated a man since 8th grade, and she's not looking into dating or sleeping with one any time soon. "I'm a practicing lesbian with a wandering eye." She's not looking for anything serious in New York City, and is a serial ghoster. Any reason to go out, she will take it.
Background:
There is no tragic story behind it all. Marcus Sandoval and Dylan McQueen met while living in San Francisco and fell in love there. Marcus worked the Museum of Modern Art as an art curator and Dylan worked for Google. They were in their 30s and both had stable jobs, so it made sense to look into adoption to start their family. The happy couple decided on the surrogacy route, and their friend, Lorelai, volunteered to carry their child. She has always been a figure in Story's life if she ever needed a "motherly figure". With Story's untraditional upbringing, her sense of self and artistic ventures has always been supportive. She was wearing tutus to school until her Swan Lake phase was over, and to some, 3rd grade is a little late and concerning, but she was simply enjoying childhood until the very last moment.

PERSONALITY

Erin is incredibly comfortable in a crowd, she is proud of what she has achieved, and she knows what exactly she brings to the table. In a room full of strangers and friends, she doesn't need to hide anything, she's fearless, she's honest, she's a confident woman who will boldly enjoy breaking the rules and raising hell with like minded peers.

However, she cannot bear the though of disappointing or directly confronting those she cherishes. She would rather quietly sabotage herself or make pointless compromises to try and appease others, all the while trapping herself in a hell of her own making. And you can truly tell she's going through it - she gets quiet, not a thought or sound dares to come forth, let alone an opinion that contradicts anyone else's. Utterly trapped, by guilt, by fear ... and strangest of all, love.

BACKSTORY

Erin knew that she wasn't straight from a young age, and this was never something she admitted out loud, knowing that her parents would never accept this. In high school, she dated Moose (Montgomery Moussette), and the relationship fell through in the end, because Erin had to admit that she couldn't see herself carrying on the rest of her life actively ignoring, denying, her orientation no matter how comfortable, how easy, it would've been with Moose.

Although she came out, to the only person she trusted with the truth, she continued dating men. Her parents came to accept and support her decision to become an artist, an independent one without a label or management, making her career fraught with risk, instability, and she couldn't bear the idea of making them accept anything more.

Presently, she is dating the male lead guitarist from [RIVAL BAND], but it is a relationship full of arguments and slamming doors. So much so that she often retreats and finds herself spending her time with [THIS BAND] - and what a relief it has been not having to anxiously worry and hide her orientation, and to focus on the music she loves.

PLOT POINTS

Erin is currently dating a man, but will slowly fall in love with someone else (woman)
Helping the band to film short videos or pictures when they practice
Has her own YouTube channel, but will make an appearance as the sixth man of [RIVAL BAND] on rare occasions as vocalist

RELATIONSHIPS


MOOSE

Moose is her oldest and closest friend. He is someone she completely trusts, with her secrets, and more importantly, her happiness. She hates that he has to constantly worry over her, that he has to actively intervene when she makes the horrible decision to bring a man home, so in turn she also gives him her unconditional acceptance. She knows there are many that disapprove of his choices, the way he lives his life, and she makes it a point to ensure they both have a good time whenever he does invite her to an outing, after all Moose doesn't need lectures, doesn't need to be told to stop or consider a healthier life style - he wanted a good time, and Erin took it upon herself to make sure the goods times stay for a longer time.
