Zoe Marie DeWitt (Fairyland Minifee Miyu A-Line)
Age: 24
Race: German
Eye color: honey brown
Hair color: blonde, short shaggy cut
Relationships: Kieran’s sister, dating Sen, lesbian
Favorite color: sky blue
Personality/Story: She is a playful and outgoing girl, but usually only shows that true self to Sen and her other close friends. Around large groups of people she is shy and can be easily lost in the crowd due to her silence. Alone, she enjoys to read and draw, sometimes just daydreaming in the lazy afternoon. As a student, Zoe is intelligent and capable, modest about her achievements, but gracious all the same. Her naïveté usually can get the best of her and but she can be willful sometimes, a bit of a brat because she is spoiled by her adoptive parents. Her sister and she were both adopted as babies, and they now go to school in Germany, as their parents decided it was time to get in touch with their roots. Soon after, finishing a year at the German school, Zoe flew to the states and enrolled at St. Cielo's for a better education classes. She is an art major. She knows this is going to get her nowhere. Her parents are fairly well-off however, and don't seem to mind her choice. She creates mainly narrative works, portraits, landscape, and illustrations. Zozo's style is extremely traditional. She tends to think creatively while composing in a very standard way. This by no means, means her work is boring. Through use of color and application and subjects, Zoe creates unique pieces that have a sure dialogue with the audience. Zoe is a shy girl when around strangers. Amongst friends though, she is bubbly and effervescent. Her favorite colors are baby blue and pink. She is a lesbian. Her clothing style tends to be understated most of the time, simple silhouettes and shapes, some patterns. She is drawn to ivories and grey tones lately.
Zoe met Sen at a park one time, the older girl noticing the quiet cutie sketching by the waterfalls. Zoe was shy at first, not willing to believe that she was attractive to this more mature beauty. Gradually Sen won her over and the two have been in a happy, loving relationship ever since. It’s been about 5 years now.

Kieran Marlene DeWitt (Fairyland Minifee Kyle B-Line)
Age: 16
Race: German
Eye color: deep brown
Hair color: naturally blonde, dyes it black with a blonde skunked front, shoulder length
Relationships: Zoe’s sister, single- straight
Favorite color: crimson
Personality/Story: Kieran is a typical teenager. She is willful, moody, bitchy, and poetic. She does enjoy learning despite all this and reads constantly. Kieran is attracted to older men, teachers especially, and rocker boys. However, she finds that most guys under the age of 25 aren't mature enough... She will accept dates to simply get out of the house and away from her family. She is also a burlesque dancer. After taking lessons with Zoe, she prevailed upon their teacher to show her some techniques after class. Their teacher is Bibi or Bisou. Bibi has taught Kier some French techniques, and helped her enter the smoke and mirrors world of burlesque dance and music. Kieran's stage name "Billie Bitter Sweet." Her favorite color is red or leopard print and she tries to always wear something with that in it. Kieran also tends to incorporate some sort of burlesque fashion into her every day wear, be it a feather, lace, garters, or headpiece. She has multiple piercings (Monroe, nose, and eyebrows) and tattoos. Kieran also plays the upright bass. Sometimes, she will play the bass during a dance routine on stage. Kieran can play several types of instruments and is a bit of a child prodigy. She hates to perform unless she sets the rules, thanks to being forced to as a child. She is spoiled and a brat and loves to cause trouble. She is extremely sharp-tongued, doesn't get on with her sister though she loves her, and is a general menace to her adoptive parents. Unlike Zoe, Kieran cannot speak fluent German, only some slang. She is however, fluent in German swearing.
Zoe and Kier are adopted sisters. They are actually from the same birthmother, despite their age difference. Their adoptive parents found the process so easy with Zoe that they returned for Kieran immediately after signing the paperwork on one sister. This means that Zoe and Kieran have the same mother but different fathers. Neither knows any of their real parents. Zoe was adopted a bit older, around age six. She is fluent in German. Kieran was adopted at birth, and is not fluent at all, despite lessons and a much harried tutor. Zoe wants to meet their birthmother, Kieran could care less. From what Zoe has learned, their mother is a high powered executive in Germany who gave them up because she had no time for children, but didn't believe in abortion.

Valerian Sheng (Bluefairy Tinyfairy Kyle)
Age: 24
Race: Half Chinese half something meditteranean
Eye color: pale grey-purple, wears hipster glasses for distance
Hair color: dark brown, short
Relationships: dating Belial, gay
Favorite color: red
Personality/Story: Valerian is a prince. He was born and raised in the court, but tends to wander off a lot. He likes to be alone and is extremely independent. He likes to sulk, and is horribly spoiled by his mother, despite how he annoys her by dressing down. He’s smart, and responsible, his tutor’s all pleased with his achievements. Vale is prone to not make friends easily, his pouty demeanor and attitude a put off for many. As the brat that he is, he often throws tantrums when around his father whom he doesn’t get along with. Valerian enjoys poetry, and learning about other cultures. He is insistent on being well rounded in his studies, much to his teacher’s pleasure. His voice is melodious, and when he sings, he sings well. He is shy about that talent however, and rarely can you hear him.
His brother Liang is first in line to become King, and so is in training. Vale however, the trouble-maker that he can be at times, has been sent to the states to get an education; something different from his brother. He attends St. Gales Academy for high school. Vale has yet to make very many friends. The same as in the palace, his elitist and cocky disposition turn most people off. His reputation within the school is widespread, and though the other students are curious about him, Valerian cuts them off with simply a look or a dose of his sarcasm. He is extremely independent and thinks that he needs no one to be happy in life. What a dismal philosophy for such a young mind...

Anna Shelley (Iplehouse KID Lonnie)
Age: 11
Race: English ghost
Relationships: haunting Valerian, daughter of Percy and Mary Shelley
Hair: ashy brown/grey
Eyes: pale grey no pupils
Favorite Color: dark red
Personality/ Story: Anna is your typical eleven yr old girl. She was giggly and full of mischief. She had lots of friends and loves to dance. Anna can play the piano as most little girls can. She had been classically trained by her governess. She loves poetry and macabre stories, thanks to her parents. She is in love with Edward Gorey drawings and stories. She liked to draw and make up stories in her head. Her father was teaching her how to write poetry.
One night, Anna stayed up late and snuck down into the library of her house. Reading the short stories of her mother, combined with the romantic stanzas of her father, Anna liked to imagine them joining forces and creating something new and unnatural and eerily lovely. One this night though, she was sleepy and nodded off after only a few stories. The books fell off her lap and landed too close to the fireplace. She had ungrated it because she was cold in her nightshift.

Her mother made it out of the house, and her father came home from a meeting with friends to discover the terrible accident. The house was partly burned and still smoldering in the cold night air. Anna was lost to them. However, Anna became tethered to a book. She had so much unfinished business. Several books and odds and ends were recovered from the fire. One particular one, a small collection of poems written by Percy. Her father treasured this book, holding onto it until the day he died. Years later, Belial came across the book in a rare bookstore in england. He bought it for Vale and due to the energy that Belial has, Anna gained substance. She went from a whispery vapor into a transparent form, to a pale little girl again. She loves Vale and wants him to be happy. She tries to show him through poetry and girlish tricks how to smile. Sometimes, when it's very late at night and he is somewhat sleepy...Vale lets Anna curl around him and lull him into a romantic fantasy that only a poet can.

Bisou (Fairyland Minfee Shushu)
Age: 19
Race: French
Eye color: pale blue-green
Hair color: dark brown, short cropped bob
Relationships: likes Zoe, likes everyone
Favorite color: mint
Personality/Story: Bisou is a complicated girl. She is from France and sometimes lapses into fluent french. Both of Bisou's parents are deceased. They died in an accident and she has no other living relatives in the states. She isn't aware of any relatives in France. Simply put, Bibi is unhinged. She can be very promiscuous and was. At fourteen she contracted syphillis. Without telling anyone, she remained untreated until it was too late. The disease reached stage three. It attacked her mental faculties which made others aware of its presence. Admitted for treatment finally by an anonymous friend, Bisou is cured, but her mind is still fragmented. Bisou is a ballet dancer. She has danced since age four and she is extremely talented. Part of Bibi's crazy is that she believes she is a ballerina of whom artist, Degas has sketched. Her world is the world of Degas' pastel and oil paintings, everything else is the audience. She does have spare moments of lucidity, during which she can become very confused or extremely serious. It is best to deal with these moments nonchalantly, treating her as a small, damaged child. She really thinks that it is the 1870s and that she is living during Le Belle Époque(which accounts for some of her slightly off-kilter fashion choices). She thinks that the people she interacts with are viewers of the paintings. Everyone close to her relates to the painted world, while everyone else simply watches her. Bibi does have moments of lucidity. Sometimes she can be incredibly insightful when these short moments occur. Now at seventeen, she teaches at a ballet studio nearby the campus. Bibi never finished high school. She attended the same school as Kieran. The girls were not friends, as Bisou was a grade higher. Bibi has worked for the studio since the accident that killed her parents.

She knows Zoe through a dance class that Zoe took. Zoe needed some extra help at first, but now is coming along quite nicely. Because of the extra help, Zoe discovered that Bibi was sleeping and living in the studio. Not willing to let her continue doing that, Zoe brought her home to live with her and Sen in their apartment. Bibi is hardly home as it is because of her teaching and social night life...that it doesn't much affect the girl's daily routine. Now that Bibi is living with Zoe, Kieran sees her and is actively taking classes with her. Bibi is also helping Kieran with her burlesque routine.

others coming along...
