[+] Notes
  • Outwardly a friendly and easygoing girl who is very concillatory and thus easy to get along with. A good listener and shoulder to cry on. Not talktative about her politics, save being pro-choice on social media. She easily makes casual friends. Even with people who treat her with antagonism she is kind and gracious.
  • Rarely she'll seem openly stressed and distracted, or express a rare harsh opinion. Either seems to leave her embarassed and apologetic.
  • Inwardly judgemental and paranoid about maintaining status and saving face.
  • With close friends she feels comfortable being intimate with she's still mostly a listener and rarely talks about her own issues or viewpoints, and is a bit evasive when prompted to. She has recently started running board game nights for those interested, which seems to make her very happy when they go well.
  • Mainly associated with the robotics club as a prominent member other club members can rely on the skills and expertise of. Secondarily a regular in the anime club- seems to like everything- and sometimes seen in the writing club- rarely bringing her own material, mostly there for giving others concrit. Also known as a top scorer academically, always being in high level classes.
  • A regular at parties. Well known for helping deal if card games come up, and for reliably being a designated driver. Somewhat prudish, doesn't hook up, rarely drinks. Usually just there to chat and vaguely support other friends in their antics.
  • Depending on context it's fairly easy to learn that she's a regular churchgoer to a local Pentacostal church, though it doesn't seem to outwardly affect her social tendencies much.
  • Has casually dated a couple of people of both genders, but she always seems to find a polite reason to end things by the second date at latest. Internally she is functionally bisexual- leaning towards men- but due to internalized homophobia of various sorts she doesn't really take her own semi-common attraction to women seriously.
  • The heiress to a popular small business in town, Thatcher-Wilson & Co watchmakers. She rarely brings it up but is open about it when asked.
  • Horribly sucks at physical and sporty things, very out of shape. She will automatically recuse herself out of any ideas like camping, hiking, or the sort. Really good at most other subjects and always open to helping out with homework and tutoring if she has the time.
  • Been around where she's been or known her a long time? Since elementary school? Possible if a Saint Paul native. You might know that she used to be very very difficult to deal with as a younger girl, super controlling, fussy, and annoying while also being boring as sin. She seemed to find her stride in the fourth grade onward.
[+] Ideas
  • Olivia has a lot of casual shallow friendships. She's not explicitly popular if only because she's not flashy, but she's kind and easy to talk to so she's probably chatted with your kid and most likely made a generically positive impression at some point.
  • A cadre of close friends, whether they all be within the same group or not. The people she'll gravitate towards eating lunch with and most frequently be found hanging out after school with. I imagine they'd likely be folks from robotics club or anime club? Personality wise, probably people a bit more domineering than her that can lead her around? Anything could go here.
  • The people she's casually gone out on a handful of dates with. More men than women, but both. She would always be the one being asked out, she doesn't make the first move ever. I don't think she's dated enough or made enough of an impression to develop a reputation for being romantically flaky in particular, so she's still actively on the market.
  • Adjunct to the above, a current romantic relationship that she's sort of developing a closeness with that she hasn't with the other ones before would be intriguing and provide some avenues for island shenanigans. If anyone's down for that I'm down to talk specifics.
  • Specifically, one or two friends who she's seen around at church might also be interestng for island reasons. They can be close friends or casual friends, go with her or not.

Mallory Valdez (Carrion Queen) - Childhood friends, same church since forever. Olivia thinks Mallory is a bit annoying and talks too much, honestly, but they've been friends for a long time and Olivia feels safe around her. She wouldn't want to give that up.
Serena Waters (Salic) - Childhood friends, same church since forever. A very safe friend, quiet, easy to be around... mostly. Olivia's had the recent inkling that Serena might be more 'interested' in her than Olivia is in turn, but that is a bridge Olivia never wants to cross so she mostly ignores it, like she ignores the persistent rumors that Serena is a flaming, gilloutine the president type of commie.
Meilin Zhou (BlizzardeyeWonder) - The designated driver squad! Olivia isn't especially impressed by Meilin's taste in writing, nor her taste in men, but Olivia loves how chill and down-to-earth Meilin is, and how they've got each others backs no matter how wild the party gets. Down-to-earth was an intended pun.
Bree Jones (Salic) - The designated driver squad! Bree is the leader of their little squad, which means Olivia considers Bree one of the strongest, most trustworthy girls she knows, a protector in times of crisis. Unfortunately for Olivia their friendship is increasingly complicated by the presence of Mallory, and they've argued about it before. Olivia keeps quiet and hopes the status quo is maintained- she doesn't exactly know how else to deal with the conflict when Bree's ultimatum is dropping Mallory from her life.
Paul Smith (Carrion Queen) - Similar circles. He's charming and she thinks he's handsome. She's a bit miffed he's never seemed interested in asking her out considering he asks literally all girls out.
Keith Thompson (Fiori) - Anime club acquaintances. She feels pity for the struggles he's had in his social life, they hit pretty close to home for her. He's definitely not easy to deal with- takes forever to hear him out- but he seems to like her so whatever she's doing seems to keep him happy.
Juliette Sargent (MurderWeasel) - Academic friend and classroom buddy. Juliette is a hard worker and a proper young woman who keeps a handle on herself, and Olivia can respect both those things.
Mercy Ames (Zetsu) - Writing club acquaintances. Olivia can't say she's really a fan. She's gotten better about it, but Mercy getting really in her face about her writing was not welcome at the time and Olivia can't help but continue to shy away from her for that reason.

[+] Notes
  • Outwardly and pretty much inwardly a self-assured and confident young woman with plenty of opinions she is unafraid of expressing. Despite having ideas disagreeable to many, she is fairly easy to speak to, and is calm and measured when conversations become arguments. At worst she's a bit of a snarker. She is notably politically conservative, somewhere between Republican and Libertarian in views, being very vocally pro-gun, pro-cop, and anti-censorship the moment she's given a reason to be. The people she dislikes she'll be more trollish and baity towards, but she maintains a general veneer of friendliness and easy-going when not provoked.
  • She does love an argument, and while she's difficult to upset, she's easy to lure into some form of verbal spar. Sometimes she does it just to play devil's advocate.
  • Her close friends tend to be men, and she has something of a natural difficulty getting along with other women who don't see the world similarly to herself. She's tomboyish and carries herself easily in conversations with more masculine energy, and is very cool with offensive jokes, casual sexism, racism, and so on, going so far as to use them herself in her own arsenal, albeit only sometimes.
  • Mainly associated with student government, where she has held secratary in sophomore and junior year, and was elected to Vice President during senior year. Regardless of her reptuation as an individual she is known in this capacity as an apolitical leader who has been effective at resolving student complaints and treating people fairly and respect when they come to her with problems and suggestions. Secondarily she's known to be active in debate club, again being professional and not bringing her personal biases into the equation.
  • A regular at parties. Chatty, good at party games and holding her drink, quick to shove away creeps. If she doesn't have a long term boyfriend she'll be superficially receptive to guys flirting and trying their luck at hook ups but have no intent to go through with it.
  • Heterosexual. Probably had one or two relationships with men in total, past and or present. She's a bit slow to open up in relationships and seems to generally prefer to be in it for the long haul slash going steady.
  • Not shy about talking about her engagements with hunting and competitive shooting that occur off campus if she's given an excuse to bring it up. She's not exceptional, but simply likes the opportunity to talk shop. She's also active in local libertarian party meetups.
  • In class she's not exceptional, but she works hard. Willing to casually chat and ignore the teacher when she's not focusing on keeping her grades up. History classes are the one class she will never play hooky for or slack around in.
  • Been around where she's been or known her a long time? Probably seen her a lot around town- through her family she's been politically active and out on the streets promoting conservative policies from her elementary school years, and she's a regular in a number of local shooting ranges. If you ever have the opportunity to go out on a hiking trip or hunting or whatever with her, she seems to know most local state parks and reserves like the back of her hand. Her dad is an ex-cop and proud of it. She was most likely one of the counter protesters during the BLM marches, albeit not one of the ones who fought back.
[+] Ideas
  • Her close companions. Would baring some exceptions mostly consist of men, either apolitical or conservative/libertarian (of the American variety), and women who could tolerate being in that sort of crowd. Dynamics within this group could be fluid, she's low-maintinance as a friend and doesn't mind doing her own thing most of the time.
  • People to mutually dislike. She's a bit hard to get a ruse out of, but she's also a very very stubbornly not with the zeitgeist kind of girl so I imagine there's at least a few people who, through misunderstandings or on purpose, have been enough of an irritant to Faith that she loses her cool with them and thinks badly of them beyond her more generic shrugging off of people she doesn't agree with. Likely to be very left-wing, very active sorts of folks, or people who've run afoul of her above group of friends. Plenty of opportunities here for bullshit and drama if so interested!
  • Adjacient to the above anyone who she just feels so badly about she feels the need to troll and antagonize them whenever she sees them would be quite welcome for showing the full range of her personality.
  • Ex boyfriend/s. Limited slots given her tendency to be romantically close-guarded and cautious. They wouldn't have to be a total chud of a dude or whatever, she's cool and open-minded enough that any liberal or left wing guy who was interested in her might win her affection. In fact that would be an especially interesting dynamic, I'd be particularly down to hash something like that out.
  • Other student council people! Political friends and political rivals, this is a big part of her character so exploring the dynamics with her as a student government lifer would be a fascinating exploration and stress test of her character, as well as giving some interesting island content to work with.
  • If anyone wants to go on a hunting trip- especially those who don't do it themselves- there's a potential sandbox thread idea to be had there.

Chevy Gallagher (Deblod100) - Paintball crew, her current crush. He introduced her to paintball, a sport she took to quickly and that she currently enjoys. As for Chevy himself she sees a lot in his intellect and in his abilities as a leader, and she's felt rather strongly for him as they've become good friends and comrades on the battlefield.
Lucas Brady (Slam) - Childhood friends, common outdoorsy trips with both families. Honestly she thinks he's a bit cringe, in an affectionate way, and will openly rib him and give advice, but its his life and he can do what he wants with it. She appreciates his honest intellect.
Juliette Sargent (MurderWeasel) - Student council friends and confidantes. Faith thinks highly of Juliette's professionalism and dedication to politics. She's not really bothered by how low key their friendship is due to Juliette's need to save face- Juliette is honest enough about it that Faith can take it in good humor. She needs a proper professional friend on the council- not like most of the rest of them do their jobs.
Pippi Bloodworth (Deblod100) - Student council acquaintances. Only so much Faith can like a libcuck who doesn't really do her job. Not much bad blood but Faith doesn't hold her in high regard.
Vera Osborne (Fiori) - Former childhood friends, current mutual dislike. They used to be super close due to their similar backgrounds- their families thought of them as sisters at one point. Nowadays Faith holds Vera in little esteem, it's almost too easy to put her down.
Sofia Chiles (MurderWeasel) - Brief friends historically, on very bad terms. Faith intially thought Sofia was cool when she moved to the area, her kind of girl. Sofia took offense to Faith's sense of humor and pretty quickly the two decked each other, and since have nothing kind to say to each other's faces or behind each other's backs.
Sayuna Lewis (draft profile)

[+] Notes
  • Outwardly a polite and studious girl if you don't know her well. She doesn't get much involved with people outside of her specific interests and wouldn't be considered popular or a partygoer- at best, she can be found at a party if a friend who does go invited her. She is politically left wing and passionate about social justice causes, and she does not suffer open conservatives readily, though she's not the shouty sort.
  • If you do know her well, close friends are most likely a geek or an intellectual who exists within her main circles. In those instances she's extremely friendly, kind, and generous with her time and attention. But she does kind of latch on strongly, and anybody who is her friend tends to find she'll constantly be asking for advice and opinions on anything she feels they might have an opinion on.
  • She definitely shills even casual acquaintances on good anime, podcasts, audiobooks, VTubers... oh, the VTubers. Very pro Elipomu.
  • Medically blind from a young age, primarily using a mobility cane to get around. Her hearing is quite excellent and it's very difficult to get away with gossip in earshot of her- not that she cares, necessarily. Usually she has at least one wireless earbud in and is listening to something else while multitasking.
  • Mainly associated with the anime club as a prominent member who, through her years in Japan and essentially native level of Japanese speaking and fluent reading, is a reliable resource for ordering almost anything a club member could want from the motherland. She's, more seriously, active in clubs where you might expect a girl driven by a desire to be in medicine and clinical research to be found- Doctors Without Borders and UNICEF, where she is thoroughly involved in club leadership positions, volunteering, and so on.
  • She has a fairly large online presence as an amateur voice actress and cover artist in KanakoDansen with a very active Discord with karaoke nights, free art raffles, and so on. Aspiring game designers, writers, and so on in her friend group will receive pro bono voice work or singing from her the moment they ask.
  • Her parents run a fairly popular anti medical establishment podcast. Anti-vax, anti-science, a good number of the guests being conservative and alt-right chuds due to overlap, Sayuna is extremely embarassed about this fact and hates it being mentioned in her presence.
  • Has dated people of both genders, and is openly and proudly bisexual. Dating Sayuna tends to be a bit intense and dramatic, as she's slow to admit feelings and quick to become very affectionate and open with her emotions and thoughts. She's strongly romantic and has instincts that lead to things like month-iversaries and cute homemade gifts weeks into the relationship. A breakup with Sayuna is one she tends to outwardly be amicable about, but inwardly she was almost definitely hurt and stung regardless of how the breakup went down.
  • Quite good academically and willing to help with study sessions and tutoring. Very driven by her goals of becoming a doctor or medical researcher and accepted to her choice of top research schools. Even despite her natural work ethic and determination however, she tends to lean on friends a lot to help her make decisions about her future and study choices. The one subject she is not good at, for a variety of reasons, is PE.
  • Has only been in the Saint Paul area since the start of high school and doesn't have strong childhood roots or strong childhood friend opportunities.
  • One younger sister, Natsumi, who would be maybe relevant as she's a Freshman by the time of SC3 and thus might occasionally have a presence in Sayuna's social circle in passing. Natsumi is sporty, academically behind for her age, and loves her sister very much in the sense that they emotionally support each other over disliking their father and home situation.
[+] Ideas
  • Her friends group. To be very close to her chances are your character is either very academically driven or a huge nerd of the weeb variety, or happened to be a friend of someone of this description who caught her eye. Sayuna is very dependent in personality and bugs most of her close friends for emotional support and advice on a regular basis- she gives as good as she gets though, and is a very passionate and loving friend who wears her heart on her sleeve and will drop everything to help a friend in need.
  • Anyone in anime club probably fits into her close friends circle, but even if they don't she definitely knows their MAL by heart.
  • Her exes. She'd only have two or three at most, and I need both men and women for this one. Your character would need to know her for a while as she only develops an interest in others romantically after some exposure. She was a very romantic girl and dating her was probably quite intense and fun. She's essentially one step shy of outright love bombing anyone she truly falls for, but she's also capable of being chill and introverted as needed and she matches partner energy well, minus her need to constantly ask for little affirmations be they verbal or physical. Whatever sort of breakup was had she took it harder than she let on and probably cried a lot over your character even if she pretended things were fine on her end.
  • It'd be fun if she had, like, a couple of other super academically driven friends who she had standing discussions, plans, and advice swapping about higher education with. Sayuna is indecisively choosing between U of Minnesota and UMich, and in addition is torn on how much she needs to abandon her online presence in order to focus on studying.
  • I dunno how much I want to emphasize her being blind per say, but her casually being in the background of a thread overhearing something she shouldn't would be fun and maybe go interesting places? I'd be happy to have her play this role.

Noah Davis (Dogs231) - Mutual crush, bit of a will they won't they. Bandmate. He has a beautiful voice and she loves listening to him talk, and how kind and thoughtful he is. His empathic and romantic outlook makes him the sort of person that gives Sayuna hope in humanity, and the sort of person she hopes she can get a bit closer to.
Austin Greene (almostinhuman) - Band leader, good friend. Two validation-seeking codependents forming a surprisingly functional duo- probably. Austin enables a lot of Sayuna's favorite pasttimes between starting the band she's in and giving her regular horror recs. She's almost a part of his family in a way... Ingrid awkwardness aside.
Ren Vu (Zetsu) - Good friend, fellow academic, fellow queer (Sayuna is on chosen name basis). Sayuna just thinks the world of them! They're very sweet and thoughtful and fun to listen to for hours on end, plus they always seem to be happy to give Sayuna good life advice.
Meena Lalita Kumar (BlizzardeyeWonder) - Good friend, fellow queer, fellow Ren acolyte. Sayuna loves Meena's content, and dearly appreciates Meena's efforts to make it more accessible regardless of how much Meena hates hearing that praise. Sayuna is vaguely aware of Meena's gender identity, but keeps that knowledge to herself since she doesn't believe Meena is ready to talk about it.
Keith Thompson (Fiori) - Anime club friend. She thinks he's really fun! She appreciates how earnest he is with his interests and she does her best to support his hobbies.
Juliette Sargent (MurderWeasel) - Academic friend. Juliette seems a bit stand offish but is friendly enough and a good partner in a classroom setting. All Sayuna can ask for.
Aoi Mishima (Zetsu) - Very similar academic profiles. She respects him but he doesn't seem to have any interest in bonding over their future goals and dreams. She's okay with that and recognizes some people don't need more friends... though he doesn't seem to, er, have any?
Bree Jones (Salic) - Academic friend. A good and reliable conversation partner. Bree's too much of a partier and not enough of a weeb for Sayuna's taste, but once upon a time... well, Sayuna was into her regardless.
Mikki Swift (Salic) - Ex-music collaborators. They put out a song or two together then Mikki essentially ghosted Sayuna. Sayuna might have been laying it on a bit thick at points but she feels pretty justified in feeling used for her talents then tossed aside. Sayuna mostly leaves her on seen-zone nowadays.
Ingrid Wilde (almostinhuman) - Most awkward ex-girlfriend ever. Sayuna still thinks the best of Ingrid but their relationship ended with harsh words Sayuna can't help but be haunted by. She's pretty sure Ingrid is not happy to see her around the house still because of her friendship with Austin.
Princess McQuillan
Originally handled by me
[+] Notes
  • Outwardly an aloof and closed off young woman. She doesn't have many friends in general and eschews popularity. She's polite to classmates and peers, but not kind, and comes off as quiet and disinterested in most things happening around her.
  • She has few close friends, even within the clubs she has presence in. Her closest friends are likely to the occasional artistic queer person, or more specifically to be a freind of Violet Quinn (Primrosette's character), her current girlfriend of about a year. With friends Princess is still a bit awkward as she is more generally, but she does her best to speak up more, listen, and share more of her somewhat artistic and flowery perspective on things.
  • She's active primarily in theater club. She's an excellent actress with a lot of diversity and range in roles, but outside of her role on stage she often remains somewhat awkward and closed off, though she'll definitely count at least a few in the club among her friends if they catch her eye. She's also in writing club, where she helps out with concrit and generally doesn't share her own work. Recently in writing club she's been super interested in queer literature and horror fic, and has sought out recommendations and sometimes made her opinions known on such works.
  • Currently works part time as a waitress at Shooters. She's willing enough to slip a discount to a peer under the table if you catch her in a good mood.
  • She is lesbian, but isn't particularly open about it even when you asked, you'd sort of have to infer it from her interests and from the occasional chaste PDA with Violet in public if you catch either of them in a rare moment. Princess doesn't really emit queer vibes and is quite straight-passing the the casual observer with an active gaydar. Violet was her first girlfriend who she asked out in Junior year, before then she more or less quietly froze out anyone even sort of interested.
  • Mediocre academically, and the few people in the loop about her future plans know she would prefer to work full time when getting out of school over going to college.
  • Close friends or people who've known her for a long time know that, despite her fashionable and noblesque trappings she comes from poverty, quintissential trailer trash given that she literally lives in a trailer. Friends will have context in this regard to respect that she generally needs her space to be by herself, and essentially only Violet can ever really wrangle her consistently into trying out new things.
[+] Ideas
  • Princess doesn't really have a lot of friends.
  • Any one in theater club I'd be interested to hash out a few specific dynamics with. She's probably polite and cordial more than she is close, and she generally gives off a bit of an elitist and aloof vibe the moment she's done emoting for a role. It would depend on the individual, but generally the more artistically inclined and intellectual your kid the more likely she's interested in them... and also jealous, given her insecurities.
  • Any friend of Primrosette's Violet Quinn has a chance of getting close-ish to her, enough so to where Princess is just naturally awkward around them and tries to engage them in honest conversation and friendship as opposed to her usually distant and emotionally guarded schtick.
  • Princess was closeted most of her high school experience, I'd maybe be interested in maybe one or two girls she had an awkward chemistry with prior to coming out. Maybe the other girl even realized Princess was gay before she herself did.
  • She tried to be popular and broadly friendly with others for a period of time in middle school. It worked pretty well until she gave up on it, considering her acting skills. If your character went to a similar school as her they might remember when she was trying on that particular way of expressing herself.

Violet Quinn (Primrosette)
- Girlfriends. Princess surprised herself by being bold enough to just go for it. She's losening up a bit and becoming less of a bore because Violet is just that fun and easy a person to be herself around. It's a pretty healthy relationship that Princess feels lucky for pretty much every day.
Mercy Ames (Zetsu) - Friendly rivals. Princess is loathe to admit it but Mercy was one of her best friends before Violet, even if said friendship was mostly intellectually masturbating over writing bonafides. Princess definitely used to be more into Mercy than she was cognizant of, but those feelings have subsided into being possible friends for life- Princess would trust few others with the sort of tough love Mercy is an expert with.
Pippi Bloodworth (Deblod100) - Acquiantances through Violet. Pippi is a friendly face in GSA, which Princess appreciates the rare time she feels inclined to stop by and feel awkward and unwanted.
Island Plans (Spoiler Warnings! Regret Warnings if you are Mara or Frozen Smoke!)
Inspired by Toxie's approach I'm going to try giving a rough outline of some plans for my characters as an experiment to see if that helps me develop some cool island plotlines and scenes with others help!
[+] Olivia
I'm playing more into the sinister potential for Olivia that existed more in theory than in practice in her V6 run, while also staying true to her V6 existence of being scared out of her mind and struggling to get a grip on herself as stuff fell apart around her and she latched onto people.

The goal is to make her a sort of passive, manipulative presence using a certain degree of her inherent misanthropy as her mental state dissolves, all while she tries to remain a sweater girl aesthetically through a narrative of genuine anxiety and woe-is-me ism. She'll instigate fights and grudges with hearsay and being in the right places at the right times to say the wrong things. If she's in a group she'll be a conniving element looking out for herself and for how to assure her own security at the cost of others. Kills are not something she should be getting a lot of, initially, and likely even late into the game run if she survives that long.

Here I'm looking for individuals and group dynamics who she can leech onto and exert a subtle but malicious presence upon, seeding rumors, misrepresenting situations, generally being a rat looking to cause chaos that will thin the herd while keeping herself as innocuous as possible.
[+] Faith
I'm sort of extending and exploring her role in V7 of someone who had a lot of potential (as described by Alton) going into things that, due to her own personality, failed to make much of it but with a bit of a twist.

For Faith I need an early kill under circumstances of self-defense or otherwise some form of player hunting that would play into her sense of justice (whether by misunderstanding or otherwise, she should at least have good reason to *think* she is on the right side of history). But rather than becoming a proper player hunter or protector of innocents, I want to use Faith's character as leverage to explore the idea of someone caught between the moral imperatives to help others in the way she knows how, violence, while also abhorring said violence. Sort of like a player hunter that never really gets off the ground and is paralyzed by indecision and internal conflict, which I think is a take on the player hunter that I haven't seen a lot of examples of in living SOTF memory?

So yeah, need that early kill, and then maybe some people who she can interact with where their arcs would challenge her own- killers she might feel the need to feel sympathy for due to circumstances that she hears out, friends or people who cling onto her for protection that she can let down, stuff like that.
[+] Sayuna
She's going to be my Meanwhile character! The idea with Sayuna is going to be one I tried and failed to do much with in V6- someone following along with the events on island not out of malicious intent or curiosity, but love for the kidnapped friends that means she simply can't let it alone even if it will be torture. Which it will be. She'll exist in parallel to a lot of island events and offer a warped perspective through her own secondhand experience and limited sensory information- think something of a psychological and existiential horror aspect overlayed ontop of the journey of the friends she's following, interspersed with her own collapsing mental health as she can't bring herself to do the healthy thing and stop.

Only thing needed here, really, is meaningful relationships in Pregame that can inform how she will react to events on island, and perhaps Meanwhile characters who she can mutually support in their Meanwhile arcs with her own with MethSlacker esque crossovers or something like that.
[+] Princess
Attached at the hip to Violet. Prim and I will be relitigating the tragic tale of these two, with both of them being properly alive this time to mutually collapse toegther instead of Princess carrying a weird after-image of Violet in her own thoughts. This is likely something we'll play more by ear, but these two are destined to spend their full island arcs together so bear that in mind. Where one goes so too will the other, and they'll likely play a more low key role to sort of match Princess' aesthetic isolation, and in contrast to her V7 journey of getting dragged along in a bunch of larger groups due to her pretenses of leadership and making important moves. On a meta level Princess has moved beyond that, and her character development will be reflected this time around.

So yeah, not looking for anything specific here really, unless you could have a use for a more insular island story for any reason.

If you're amenable, I'm bringing back Mallory Valdez who still is in charge of a Bible study and volunteer club at school. She could be a church friend of Olivia's and would like someone to complain to.
[+] May you find that which shines and learn the power of miracles.

As a note I've updated my OP with notes on rough sketches for island/Meanwhile plans for each of my characters! These are very spoiler-y, and exist for the purpose of potentially seeding ideas for any island shennanigans that could be had, mutual character arcs, possible brainwaves for kills, so on, so forth.
