COMING SOON TO A THREAD NEAR YOU

[luna]

So, I'm kinda losing my head about who I've finished and who I haven't, so this will help me keep track.

Chandrani Devanga Singh

Her first name means wife of the moon, and her middle name means celestial maiden. She was born in Northern India, to very Hindu parents, and was raised there until she was around fourteen. When she was fourteen, she moved to the states. Around her family, she has to stay respectable and adhere to the rules, but she's secretly a bit of a rebel. Despite her innocent look, she's actually very flirty and likes getting attention. She also loves getting boys in trouble. She'll be around nineteen.

Lavinia Rosa Lupei

[/size]

Lavinia Lupei, nicknamed Liv, was born in Bucharest, Romania to Daciana Anca Lupei, her only child. She's twenty-two and lives with her and her uncle, Doru Dragomir Lupei. She's named after a woman in Shakespeare's "Titus Andromica", which is a gruesome thing to know since she was raped, has her tongue and limbs removed, then killed by her father as an act of mercy. She is occasionally called Lavi, but most people call her Liv, which she finds ironic since Lavinia dies. Her mother travels the world as an anthropologist and also as a linguist. Her father was a Spanish gypsy who ran away when her mother found out she was pregnant, but to honour her spanish heritage she was given the middle name Rosa. She lived with her grandmother Ecaterina Camelia Lupei and her Gitano boyfriend Alejando until she was eight, where she learned Romanian, Spanish and Caro, the language of the Gypsies. When she was eight, her mother took her around the world. Liv had a knack for languages just like her mother, luckily for her, and by the time she was fourteen, she knew enough in around ten or twelve languages to her her by. She was raped by her uncle multiple times, although she didn't speak about it, acting like Lavinia. She grew anxious and depressed and hated to be around people, envying animals for their simple lifestyle. She began to equate sex to rape, making her hate the affections of any man that came her way. When she was nineteen, she attempted suicide, and it caused her to finally admit to what had happened to her. Lavinia's uncle was arrested and Liv decided to stay in America, where they were at that time, to go into college. Despite her hate of sex and men, she secretly wants to have a daughter named Viorica, which means bluebell.

Shilo Dianna Noel[/size]

Shilo Noel, nicknames Shi and Bug, was born to Nathan and Marcy Noel. Her mother was born HIV positive, though she never realized it, and passed it on to both Shilo, her daughter, and Nathan. Marcy died almost immediately after Shilo was born for reasons yet unknown. Shilo developed AIDS when she was very little, and was kept in the house by her over protective father who was a doctor. Nathan, who tried to save Marcy but couldn't, homeschooled Shilo, and didn't allow her any visitors or to go outside, terrified she'd contract something and die. Shilo grew obsessed with medicine and bugs, and snuck out of the house as often as she could. She loved music and wrote it as often as she could, listening to a woman called Blind Morganna, who she didn't know was her aunt. Shilo was also born with a rare disorder called Alopecia Totalis, which caused her to lose all her hair on her head. She usually wears a black wig, but will wear a brown one on occasion. That being said, she's showed signs of potential Alopecia Universalis, where she loses hair all over her body. When she was seventeen she ran away to attend college, as she was already finished the high school curriculum, but had to drop out when she found out her father was dying. She took care of him until he died and wrote a song out of their last words together, re-enrolling in college after the funeral to study medicine, terrified for her future.

Josephine Eleanora Winters[/size]

Born originally in England but raised in New York, Joselle (as she likes to be called) was raised in a wealthy family. Her father never seemed to be around and her mother only cared about making Josie a little star, putting her into pageants and modelling as a young girl. As it was the only attention she seemed to get, Joselle loved and craved the spotlight, willing to do whatever it took to get there. Soon, however, she started to grow depressed, intimidated by the constant demands put on her by her mother who was only trying to live through her and the all the people demanding her to be better. She tried to cut herself when she was nine years old, and was told that if she ever tried it again she would be sent away, because ony perfection was allowed in their house, so instead she rebelled. Not rebelled as in partying and drinking, that was almost to be expected. Instead, she studied, having an interest in Chemistry. She wanted to get a job that would keep her as far from the high demands her mother put on her as possible At the same time, she stuck with modelling and photography, having a love for both math and science and the spotlight.

Araceli Rosalina Soledad De La Luz[/size]

Araceli, known as Ara by most, was born in Puerto Rico with a Puerto Rican mother and an American father, she resembled her white-as-snow father than her beautifully tanned mother, the reverse of her sister Paloma. Her father was a racist who abused her mother because she spoke "the devil's tongue" and Ara and her sister because they were dirty little half breeds. Ara tried to protect her younger sister as much as she could, and when they moved to the states when she was ten, they both stopped speaking Spanish, losing their accents as much as they could to avoid the hatred of her father and the rest of the Americans. She used blues music to help her deal with her depression and fear, and her parents divorced when she was fourteen. Araceli and Paloma took their mother's maiden name and they all moved up to California, where her mother met and fell for a man who was half italian, David De Luca. They had two children, David Rafael De Luca and Ana-Maria Estrella De Luca, but decided against marriage because both had had bad experiences with marriage. Ara started experimenting and fell in love with sex and sexuality, expressing herself through her music and clothing which gained her popularity though she never pursued it. She has a few tattoos -- "Nunca pierdas la fe" on her left wrist, "nunca mirar hacia atrás" on her right, "Nunca ceder" on her left thigh and "nunca te rindas" on her right, which means (in order): "Never Lose Faith, Never Look Back, Never Give In, Never Give Up"
, as well as a heart on her right ankle with a lock and a heart skeleton key on her left, and finally a cross and a verse from the bible on her left shoulder blade;
"Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;
but those who hope in the Lord
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40: 30-31"

Dmitri Ivanovich Petrov[/size]

Dmitri, with his twin sister Anastasiya, are the oldest ones in his family. He has a younger sister, Nadezdha, who goes by Nadya, and two younger brothers, a pair of identical twins Pyotr and Nikolai. Kind of a big family, as he also has cousins Valentina, Veronika and Larisa. The big family lived in Russia all together, with their grandparents, and grew up together. Neither mother nor aunt had a man in their life as they both left them when they found out they were pregnant. Entire family moved to California. The rest of their history isn't known yet.
