okay, this is arrielle. she's fourteen, a fourth year, daughter of jared and seph mcpherson, sister of those two brothers that everybody wants in the pants XD. just don't tell her that, cause she says that's gross. she is actually my least favorite character, enough to the point that i almost scratched her, but i'm going to give her a shot. right now, she's in pretty much the stereotypical teenage trap, very social, cares way too much about what people think about her and her social status, not very secure in herself. the kind of person that would do literally anything to be accepted. i have a bit of an ideal of her at one point turning out to be the complete opposite extreme, really cynical about the whole teenage thing, kind of backs away from people unless they're really close, becomes pretty antisocial. it might not make her a better character, because that doesn't exactly sound amazing, but would make her more interesting to play. but as yet, don't know what's going to cause this turning point. something might happen with her brother, taytum, whom she's really close to that might do it, but i don't know the circumstance so i'm not sure yet. allie, if you read this and are still planning on doing it, remind me to talk to you about something i thought of earlier. so if anyone has any ideas, tell me, mind you probably wouldn't be something pleasant that causes her to like back away from everything and totally change her perspective, but open to suggestions.

family. there's jared, her dad, the really overprotective kind of dad, and also has that annoying habit of saying his word as a parent is the final word that drives her insane. but she's had a few moments of crying on his shoulder before and he's a good dad, she loves him. then there's seph mcpherson, her mum, and barely a day goes by when she's at home it seems like that the two of them aren't butting heads. her mum doesn't take any crap from her, which is good, cause arrielle will dish out a lot of crap, she can be a bit of a stubborn kid. but she knows her mum loves her, and she loves her too. daughtry mcpherson is her oldest brother and they do not get along. at all. as allie's described it from his perspective once, he thinks she's annoying as hell, but would kill if anyone hurt her. and by the same token, daughtry annoys her or pisses her off, but if anyone messes with him, that's pretty unforgivable. and finally taytum. tay is her favorite brother, the one in her family that she's closest to. she goes to him for pretty much everything, mess with him and die. obviously i'm pretty sure there's not a way to add to this group, but if there's any extended family i'm forgetting about, let me know.

friends. like i've said, arrielle's the kind of girl that would do anything to be accepted by the right people. she'll probably try to be friends with the most popular people, or somewhere along that line. she'll probably have quite a few kind of shallow friendships, people that will invite her to tag along so as not to be mean, or smile at her in class and ask how she is, but not really care. and i'll tell you right now, i'm open to those, feel free to make your character a fake friend if you can for this one instance. seriously, will not offend me. but i do also want her to have a few close real friends, people that will stick around even after her turning point (if it happens), that she wouldn't be able to push away. her best friend is raider scott, she adores her, and i have a feeling rai may be one of those people that sticks around, but not sure until we play them.

enemies are going to be the kinds of people that are really cynical about the whole popularity thing, you know those silly people that think that there's more to life than the high school scene XD. some of them anyway, the kind that really can't stand girls like her. also, she's not a bitch, but she can be pretty quick to write people off, a bit snobbish, and terribly unforgiving if you do something against her. so with those characteristics it should be easy to come up with a few enemies or at least people that are kind of annoyed with her or she with them. come on, she's not exactly the perfect heroine. actually she's not a heroine at all, she's that girl the heroine can't freaking stand.

and finally love. i've plotted one thing for her with a boy she likes, but it seems like it's kind of one-sided a lot of times so i'm not sure if that will last or if it will even happen. open to trying a thread with it, but i'm not so open to pushing a plot into existence that the other rper doesn't really want to play. so for now, might leave this a bit open-ended, just until i see how things go with that one. she's a pretty big flirt, a little boy crazy and pretty forward, despite her insecurities (someone probably told her it was sexier to not beat around the bush or something). but for all her talk, she's only had sex once in her life and that experience really wasn't that great. and then she got dumped. so she's not like a nun now by any means but a little less easy to get into bed than people think and far from a slut, as people also seem to think. like any girl, she'd like to fall in love and get married one day and such, but she's not rushing out for it. and i do not want her to change into this better, suddenly not at all superficial person just because she fell in love. not that a live interest can't improve her, they usually do, but that reason in itself would be superficial and just agh, no. let her come to that on her own, or not, whatever happens. but otherwise, if you have anything, feel free to share.

[Ariana Spartan]

Arrielle could hang out with JJ if she wants, or they could've had a fling, seeing as how he's a bit of a whore, but he's really open to anything except love since he's with someone as of now.

Or she could try and become friends with his older sister, Ariana, the Queen Bee. she's really popular, really nice and cool, but also extremely flirtatious. Perhaps Arrielle could try and get into her good graces and be like her a bit? I dunno, just an idea to possibly form some kind of plot.

Liam can be her friend for sure, he's really chill and relaxed and would flirt with her if she flirted him first. He'd like her, maybe a small crush, but he'd probably be convinced that it'd go no where so he wouldn't do anything.

I've got more, and if you need more just let me know. I'm open to anything.

[Genevieve Scott]

Rai and Arri will totally be best friends. We've talked about this. They're awesome. Maybe Arrielle became friends with Rai is kind of popular, and Rai to make her dad mad, but they really do become good friends because their personalities kinda match up well. Like right now, they can be shall friends, because Rai doesnt really know her too well, but she's starting to warm up to her alot. We can do that or just keep them as good friends already for now, and yes, Rai wants to stay her friend, but we'll just have to play them :]

[Neelie Ferguson]

JJ: Yeah they definitely would have had a fling in the past, like I said she's pretty boycrazy and a big flirt even if she doesn't have sex nearly as much as people...seem to think she does. But definitely a past thing there, not sure she'd hang out with him much anymore, but wouldn't be opposed to it.

Ariana: I was thinking of this earlier actually, she would probably try to emulate Ariana, try to become friends with her and therefore gain more recognition. It's a bit of a shallow reason to try to be friends with someone, but I'm sure she'd like Ariana, too, it's just...that's what she does, she's a bit shallow.

Liam: She would probably get along with Liam, he seems like an alright guy. Might even get along with him after any turning point that might happen, because he seems pretty genuine too. I don't know that she'd like him like that, but friends definitely.

Rai: Yay! She's already getting attached to her bestie so glad to know we're still on for that. And I'm not sure when her big turning point will be or even if she'll have one, so it'll be a while that they could be friends smoothly and when it happens, if it happens, we can see how it goes. I actually love the idea of them both kind of starting out befriending each other for selfish reasons and then they end up actually becoming pretty close. So woot for those!

[Emett Nelson]

ok! everything sounds pretty good to me. And if she needs another guy, I got one, Eion Gallagher. He likes another girl, but he's terrified of a relationship and what not, so they could possibly be interesting to play if you want to. But yeah, thats all I got since I don't think AJ would get along with her too well.

[Arrielle McPherson]

Ah yeah I know of Eion. That would be an interesting thread to play, I'm for it. And haha yeah pretty certain she and AJ would not get along well. But yeah just tell me who you'd like to play first and I'll try and start something sometime soon xD

[Ryann Brooks-Connelly]

okay so we totally have this whole "something to change Arri for a bit" and really i dont know who to describe it, but you know whats going on. Rai's dad will hate Arri and her family just because they are Order Members and he's a Brotherhood supporter, maybe even member soon. So he could totally do something to her, idk what yet. Kidnap her and torment her, not to the point of death or something, but possibly to scare her, then he follows her or sends her messages to remind her to stay away from his daughter. Then Arri changes how you are going to change her and she avoids Rai because she thinks Rai had something to do with it, even if she didnt know. Rai wonders why her bff isnt her bff anymore, and hates her and avoids her, because that'd hurt Rai. so yeah. thats all i got now.

[Gabriel Scott]

Okay yeah I was thinking about this just now, what could possibly happen because we never specified, you just said he would do anything to keep them apart. So I thought of one of two things.

1) He could corner her sometime when she's in Hogsmeade without Rai or something like that and threaten her if she doesn't stay away from Rai, maybe act like he's going to hurt her or come close to hurting her, or if he's not one to do the dirty work have someone with him that would, just enough to scare the hell out of her and give a tiny glimpse into what could happen. And she would avoid Rai because she'd be pretty scared. And I think she's attached enough to Rai that losing that one friend would probably cut her off from a lot of people, especially in the way it happened. The following her around or the letters would actually probably work best with this one, if he DIDN'T actually kidnap her but then afterward kinda lingered.

2) Oooooooor as you said, he could actually do something to hurt her. Not near death, as you said, but to make sure it's burned into her mind what he's capable of, and Arri might think that Rai knew about it and hold it against her for a long time, not talk to her and finally one day just confront her and kind of lash out like "how could you let this happen?!" This one I'm not sooooooo sure about because I know Allie was already planning on Taytum getting hurt and I don't want to like steal the spotlight or something, but I think he's going to be hurt badly enough to be hospitalized, so maybe since this would probably be a less severe instance? I don't know, that's my only problem with this one is being a bit too much of an attention whore.

Let me know which you like or if you have more ideas, tell me! I personally like the first idea, just because all out kidnapping her might be dramatic, and also the stepping on toes thing, but it's your plot as much as mine so let me know what you think
