Nora sat at the table, staring intently at her cappuccino and thinking about how alone she was. Everyone else in this coffee shop had a friend, a boyfriend, a parent, a tutor, someone to sit with. Nora had her cappuccino and she was learning to be fine with that. Ever since the Julian incident she worried about the social circle he had built for her, realizing how fragile it was. It was funny though, how Julian was still holding them together. 
She heard the chair move in front of her, pulling her out of her thoughts. Maybe she wasn’t so alone, maybe there was no threat. “How are you?” she said in hushed tones. Sometimes she felt as if everyone could tell they were hiding something, instead of just being grieving friends. “Any new uhm, gossip?” she asked awkwardly, instantly regretting the words that left her mouth. No wonder she didn’t fit in.

  “You know I don’t deal in petty gossip, dear.” Alix is as affectionate in her application of the endearing term of dear, as she is her stern self - wiping the chair with a Kleenex, before placing her purse on the wooden surface, eyeing the cafe with a healthy amount of derision. Though it is her nature to feel either apathy or dislike for most, Alix allows her heart to bend towards softness for Nora. An inclination to harbor warm feelings - not fully indulged at the present, but lingering, nonetheless. “I’d gladly give you my first ever set of pearl earnings, to hear anything scintillating about you.” 
  It was customary for their circle to be spotted huddled beneath an oak tree, or presiding over a dinner table; their status was cultivated through their constant appearances. Always together. Alix found it loathsome that she was now forced to seek out her companions, scouring libraries and shops for their faces. At one point, the circle’s intimacy had been near nauseating - death had bound them in crimes, but left them strangers. The spectacle of suspicion had been successfully eluded - while her contemporaries reveled in bouts of guilt and dismay, Alix was more refined in her confidence, then ever before. Though she was seized with a sense of unease (over the seeming demise of her once treasured circle) doubt and unrest held no dominion over her complexion; brown eyes shown brighter, illuminated by intentions deemed unpleasant by most. Nora, all fair hair and blundering sweetness, was ever much the same - betrayed only, by a heightened sense of jumpiness. “I’ve been looking for you all over, you know. Checked the library three times over.”

[ anya taylor joy, cisfemale, she/her ] — ( alix gilmore) is a ( 21 ) year old ( senior ) studying ( linguistics ). they are ( perceptive ), but can also be ( vidictive ). they always remind me of ( monogrammed sweaters, leather bags and fountain pens). you didn’t hear it from me, but they were last seen arguing with julian hattaway about ( they're a kleptomaniac, and escalating ).
hiii! i’m suki, gmt and super glad i got to snag a spot in this group. with chanukah still going for one more day, i’ve been a bit spotty - but here’s my intro at last, and after the holiday ends, i’ll be up and running! would love to plot with you all - i’ll be sneaking into all your dms on discord. also it’s 5:30 i’m going back to slumber jaja
quick stats !!
Name: Alix Gilmore Age: twenty-one Place of birth: Paris, France  Nationality: Franco-American  Gender id: cis female Pronouns: she/her Sexual orientation: Bisexual  Religion: Jewish  Spoken languages: English, French, Spanish, Latin, Mandarin, Russian (learning) Italian (speaks but finds Italian ugly) Occupation: student 
1. Alix Gilmore is a Franco-American, darling daughter to two noted and well-respected mathematics professors. She’s split her time between the US and France since birth, in New York City and Paris, respectively. Alix is American through and through, though she’ll always claim her heart calls to her from Paris. She has an older brother Clement, who followed their parents into the mathematics field - though she’ll proudly proclaim, her status as the favorite child 
2. Bright and engaging, Alix distinguished herself early as being gifted - though her talents were focused on language, where she displayed an ability to master a tongue at an astonishing rate. She set her sights on being an ambassador at an early age, and hopes her personality, paired with an ability to speak most languages, will serve her in this position - parlayed then, into a first lady status. Alix seeks ambition for herself, but finds the life of politicians too messy; she’ll be able to have a satisfying career, and status, through this route. Should she fail in this regard, Alix wouldn’t turn down a cushy CEO, either
3. Alix is an excellent student, and is known for her love of social events, as much as her rigorous study schedule. She wants to establish herself as a popular figure, cementing her status before she graduates. Alix is liked by most, but can be seen by many as : haughty, self-righteous, elitist, prissy and cold. All are fair assessments of Alix - she holds herself in high regards, is cruel towards those who have far less, and can often be removed from those around her, including friends 
4. The part of Alix’s perfect life which is beyond her control, is her escalating kleptomania. What began as a child as little trophies and tokens from places visited, is becoming a viable problem - people question where their precious items went, and Alix has barely managed to avoid being fingered for the crime, on the precedent she’s too rich to stoop to stealing. Julian however, caught her; stealing an array of watches from his room one day, he began to lord the secret over her. The happy and clever girl began to grow grey and paranoid - it was only after his death, that she began to breathe again 
5. Fear doesn’t rule Alix anymore - she’s vindicated, and more then ever, convinced of her own status as an elite. Delusional, yes - they could be caught any day. But liberated, and more calculating, as the days past - a second yes. If anything, Alix has begun to find herself drawn to the same behaviors that got Julian killed. 
personality traits: eloquent, engaged and bubbly at social events - but often withdrawn and mysterious, caught in her own head, studious, loyal to her true friends, organized and overly punctual, but with a pension for nights lost binge drinking, vindictive, cruel when provoked, serious and brooding 
wcs: tbd !
