  • Dreams of someday moving to New York and getting her work displayed at The Guggenheim.
  • Thinking of swapping her interest in filmmaking with a passion for Fine Art Photography.
  • Can come across as icy and dismissive towards her classmates, but warms up significantly around friends and those she takes an interest in.
  • Has had her fair share of dates and relationships, with a reputation for having a terrible taste in men.

Some thoughts:

Vera:

Probably gets along really well with BB, who is also a progressive artiste but in different enough fields (music and performance art) that their pretension won't rub each other the wrong way.

Juliette is probably acquainted with Vera, maybe they've crossed paths in debate or adjacent circles. Juliette is also super interested in politics, but somewhat inscrutable when it comes to her personal stances; she does to some degree mirror people she's around. She gets along with most folks, though, so possibly acquaintances on decent terms.

Sofia has like one thing in common with Vera, and it's guns, so Vera may not be especially keen on that as point of connection. Probably doesn't love Vera's holier-than-thou attitude either, maybe some light mutual scorn here?

Bruce:

BB maybe digs having him in a group because he's easy prey for jokes and isn't gonna question her being very clever indeed. That said, he's wiser in the ways of weed than her, maybe they've smoked together once or twice and the dynamic was different.

Juliette is kind and polite to Bruce but privately thinks he's an idiot and tries not to spend unnecessary time around him.

Sofia's a potential friend; his style of weird antics aren't really the same as hers, but she can respect them and shares his small-town vibes a bit.

Keith:

BB's not gonna be, like, cruel to him but she's probably not gonna do him any favors on the practice talking to girls front either. When it comes to music, she's probably not interested unless he's pretty good or pretty weird, and it doesn't sound like he is.

Juliette sees him as another face in the hall, maybe catches secondhand cringe off of him but if he's not making her life difficult her stance is neutral, which for her means she's very nice to him and probably a lot more patient than other people are.

Sofia hates bullies. She probably doesn't especially care about Keith himself but she'll tell people messing with him to knock it off if she sees that going on because she doesn't like folks messing with people.

Hey, down for all the above. Can picture BB and Vera in particular being friends, being different flavours of pretentious artistes.

so I see a lot in common between Vera and Holly Hergenroeder, being fairly politically minded redheads with left-wing inclinations from back on our first goes around on the site but i could honestly see their relationship going either way, either they're really good friends and tell each other everything, or they're too similar and get on each other's nerves and can't stand each other, whichever you think would be funnier or better to do i'd be down for

Vera

Serena and Vera are definitely a part of the same nebulous socialist organization in Aurora Bay, so they'd have a strong connection there. That said, Vera may be uncomfortable with just how radical Serena is. As a seriously passionate Marxist-Leninist, she probably says really radical and bold statements in said club, but is presumably known to be too afraid to actually go out and protest for anything. Still, they're probably friends.

Vera probably holds something of a dislike for Mikki? She is rich from real estate, which is something any good socialist would get angry about. Mikki's also not a terribly nice person, which would be extra fuel to the fire on that one.

Bruce

I don't really think I have anything for Bruce. Serena, Mikki, and Bree would all go "yeah he's an idiot" but Bree would probably be the most amicable to that kind of thing. I don't really think he'd have anything more than a superficial relationship with all three, though Mikki posts her music to YouTube so he may have listened once (or maybe more if he liked it).

Keith

Agan, I don't think I have anything going on with Keith either. Since none of my three characters' interests overlaps with Keith's, they'd probably have nothing more than superficial relationships with him. However, I'm totally fine with Keith having an unrequited crush on any of them. If he did, Bree would probably be your most likely bet for that, since she's popular, outgoing and she streams video games on Twitch (a girl AND a g-g-gamer??? :flushed:).

Serenity can share her terrible taste in boys with Vera- maybe they'c be close enough to gossip? She's also leftist leaning and likes economic theory.

Viktor may be in he gaming club but will only come intermittently and without much participation, hence he and Keith wont be friends because of that.
