Hi guys :) here's the character list that you guys wanted to see!
1. Name: Swanelope Maidelardi (aka Maidy)
Age/Grade: 16, sophomore
Sexual orientation: Bi-curious
Ethnicity: Maori-Chinese
Appearance: She's tall, regal, and beautiful with tanned skin, black wavy hair, cut straight with bangs and fringe that frame her face. She has hazel eyes and usually keeps a small and demure smile on her face. Being Maori-Chinese, she posses Ta Moko (a facial tattoo) on her chin and also on her left shoulder, which is sacred to her father's Maori heritage. For clothing, she always wears a white satin dress with a white-swan feather cloak, that prevents her from turning into a swan.
Swanelope is the child of one of Odette's original swan maidens. From birth, she has been cursed by the swan maidens, so once she takes off her hood and cloak, she turns into her black swan form. She has always been self conscious about this, especially because she wanted to prove that she was just as pure and good as the other white swans.
She is very kind with an interesting sense of humor and also soft spoken; her opinions are usually not heard by others. She is not loud or obnoxious, but seemingly off in her own head. Swanelope is known for her demure nature with an air of grace and confidence. She's goodhearted and always tries to show that even though she is the only black swan among all the other white ones, she is just as good and pure as them-she's had this mentality for a long time. Swanelope is hardworking and steadily works towards her goals until they're accomplished. She is committed to everything she does and likes to live in the moment, instead of dwelling in the past or future. Unfortunately she doubts the good in people or that they ever change; she just needs someone to remind her.
She loves to dance and hopes to become a dance teacher one day and also likes to share her talents with people. Her dislikes are when she turns into a black swan (which are native from her homeland New Zealand) because it's quite annoying, and also drama and gossip, which she tends to stray away from.
Swanelope fears that everyone doubts the good girl she really is, and that because she's a black swan, people would see her as less of a swan or as a person.
Her strengths are goodness/kindness, but she tends to show her self consciousness as a weakness.
Swanelope came to Fairytale High to learn how to interact with all the other fairytale kids, and to develop into the Swan Maiden and beautiful dancer she's really cut out to be.
2. Name: Prince Adam Rose French
Age/Grade: 17, Senior
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Appearance: Tan skin, tall and lean muscular figure, chestnut brown hair that goes a little past his jaw in length and is wavy and slightly curly with golden eyes.
Adam is the son of King Adam and Queen Belle (from Disney's Beauty and the Beast). Unfortunately he followed in his father's earlier footsteps; despite being intelligent and loved, he was spoiled, cruel, and unkind. Thus the enchantress who originally changed his father came and tested Adam, as she'd once done with his father, and like him, he failed the test. However, his punishment is slightly different from his father's: He is only to transform into a beast when the sun goes down and then transforms back into a human once the sun rises. No one outside of his home knows about this.
Adam must find someone and earn their love before he turns 18 (he has a rose tattoo on his left forearm to mark the time)..if he fails to do this, he will be trapped in his beastly state for the rest of his life (even during the daytime).
He is afraid of being trapped as a beast forever. He is strong physically and fit in his human form, yet he gains immense strength from his beast form (speed, strength, fangs, fur, etc). His weaknesses are his temper and his attitude towards others, and he also can come off as mysterious and distant. Because of this, he can lash out and drive people away, which worries him because he fears that he'll never find someone to love him. He's impatient and can also act rashly at times.
3. Name: Arabella Marie
Age/Grade: 16, sophomore
Sexual orientation: Straight
Ethnicity: English
Appearance: She has long brown hair and blue eyes. She's about 5'5 in height with pale skin. She weighs about 117 and has a heart shaped face.
Arabella is the daughter of Sleeping Beauty and has been a little spoiled her whole life. She loved growing up as a princess and loves her tiara. She could do and get whatever she wanted. However, she wasn't a total snob and liked to help the kingdom out. Arabella began taking dance lessons at 3 and fell in love-her favorite part of the balls is the dancing. She embraces the princess lifestyle and while she may push her boundaries every now and then, but overall she knows how to be a good princess and is prepared to be queen one day.
Though she lacks common sense, Arabella works hard in school and gets good grades. She's a very strong dancer and is good at getting deals at the mall. Her weaknesses are that she doesn't have common sense and doesn't do well under pressure.
4. Name: Ryeka de Chateaupers (aka Rye or Shooting Star-by his parents)
Age/Grade: 15, Sophomore
Sexual orientation: Homosexual
Ethnicity: French/Romani
Appearance: He has slightly curly black hair in a shaggy cut with long bangs, wide almond shaped sea green eyes, thick eyebrows, and full lips. He has olive skin and a general slight complexion. He's 5'1, thin but with wiry muscle, with his ears pierced in both the lobe and helix.
Rye is the second child of Esmeralda and Phoebus (he has an older brother named Zephyr, who is 9 years older than him). Everyone was surprised when Rye was born, but welcomed him into the family.
From a young age, he has been exposed to criticism, even more so than his brother, who had more of his physical traits from their father. Due to this, he developed a thick skin to most insults and wary personality of strangers.
Since he was little, he'd always spent time with his family's close friend, Quasimodo, or Uncle Quasi, who taught Rye to carve wood and climb rocks and ropes and never judge people based off of looks. At this age, he already knew how to pick a sword and his father was teaching him more with each passing day. He fell in love with the idea of using said skills like his father and helping the needy when he was older, so he decided to become a knight, or at the very least, a soldier.
With his mother, he's learnt more languages that she picked up in her travels, and along with their mother tongue Romani, customs and folklore and how to keep his head held high even when the word threw him down.
When he got to the school, he had it very clear in mind to create a reputation for himself but take care without overdoing it. His fears are fire (especially after learning that his mother had almost been burned to death in the pyre), and has nightmares about being in her place with no rescue. He's also scared of being betrayed as he is painfully naive when people lie to him. He fears overly religious people (he has no problem with religion, but often the most 'pious' people are the biggest threat), and never being acknowledged over being Captain Phoebus' baby son.
He is fast and quick on his feet, stealthy and good with following orders, polite to elders and good with animals, and a good listener. But he's also somewhat distrustful, impatient, bad at lying, and sometimes lacks direction so he does things his way. And he's sometimes to guarded and wary, snappy at times.
Rye wears a pair of dark brown trousers, buckled tan boots, a white tunic shirt with embroidered hems in soft green and a sash in Prussian blue. He usually has a sword or dagger with him.
I'll continue the rest later! I'm EXTREMELY busy right now, but I just wanted to give you guys a little look into some of the characters for the book. So far, I have about 6 (I think? I've lost count), and I'll start the actual book once I get at least 10 people. Thank you guys for submitting and reading and I'll keep y'all posted! :)
Again, PM me if you have any more questions, comments, etc.
Also, I can't copy and paste you guys' submissions which is a HUGE pain so it takes a REALLY long time to write everything and make the character list-so please bear with me. And in addition, feel free to PM me with storyline requests for your character! I need an idea of what to write for everyone so let me know asap!
