all about tiana

Intro Post—read more to learn about tiana powell!

Character Information

Tiana Powell is a savvy, sensible twenty-four-year-old woman who aims to open her own restaurant in Redwood Hollow. She may not have the money for it yet, but every day she works hard as a cook and waitress to improve her craft and eventually reach her dream. Her passions are cooking, baking, and poetry (reading it, not writing it). Her life may seem quite singular, considering her all-consuming pursuit of a distant goal, but Tiana finds joy in places you may not expect. One such unexpected joy is her friendship with rich socialite Charlotte La Bouff. Another is Tiana’s pet rabbit, Doris, who Tiana makes sure to pet fondly every morning before work.

Tiana is hardworking to a fault. Many of her peers have tried in vain to turn Tiana from her work for a single night. She’s missed new movies, potential dates, and even her own birthday party that she herself organized for the sake of her jobs. Does Tiana just love cooking that much? Well, yes and no—she adores cooking, but more than that, she values effort for the sake of a worthy goal. This doesn’t mean she would have disliked those new movies or potential dates. Rather, Tiana has become comfortable—perhaps too comfortable—with sacrifice. Her father and mother raised her with kindness and respect, so kindness and respect are what she gives to others. Those who overly burden others, however, will see a sterner side of Tiana.

Some in Redwood Hollow are well-off, but Tiana is not. She has never lived that lifestyle, despite her close friendship with Charlotte, so aspects of a comfortable life will strike her as strange. Furthermore, her father died when she was a child, so Tiana may come across as sentimental during certain moments (on her father’s birthday, for example). Finally, Tiana is a determined person but has little actual experience in a lot of areas (athletics, romance, and social media, to name a few). She will not dazzle if she enters these arenas for the first time, so be warned.

Wanted Connections

a fellow cook—Tiana loves to talk shop with other chefs, whether amateur or pro. If your character loves to cook for friends and family or even just likes baking cookies, Tiana would appreciate a chat with you!

a fellow poetry fan—Poetry is something that brings Tiana happiness. If you love poets like Langston Hughes (Tiana’s favorite) or E.E. Cummings, hit Tiana up!

a romantic connection—Tiana is unique in that she is so intensely focused on work, to the exclusion of other things in life. This makes any chemistry she has with another person more slow-burn, with an emphasis on tension. Let me know if you’re interested in giving this a try!

Wanted Plots

road trip—Tiana has no interest in leaving Redwood Hollow, but her dream vacation, if she were to ever take one, is a “road trip” of sorts—going from one side of town to the other over the course of a week, discovering shops and restaurants along the way. She would love a handful of girls to accompany her…in the event she ever takes a work vacation, that is.

animal lovers needed—When Tiana’s pet rabbit Doris stops eating, Tiana needs to figure out what the problem is. But, more importantly, she craves the comfort of fellow pet owners who know how it feels to have a sick pet.

new hobby—Tiana’s life is very mundane. This would change with a new hobby, be it knitting or gaming. Though Tiana doesn’t have much free time, she would actually love to learn something new from a more seasoned hobbyist.

Taken Connections

best friend forever—Charlotte La Bouff is Tiana’s closest friend, her greatest confidant, her shoulder to cry on. The friends have been inseparable for years now, and Tiana is grateful to Charlotte for everything she’s done, big or small.

i know you’re trouble—Tiana may not know very much about Naveen Maldonia, but she’s convinced that he’s the most arrogant man she’s ever met. She is sure that he feels very little empathy for people like her. This angers her.

Other

Wanted Character: Cabell Facilier—Tiana and Facilier have a fascinating dynamic in The Princess and the Frog, and I would love to see them clash over their very different values.

Wanted Bio: Moana of Motunui—Tiana and Moana would understand one another’s pursuit of a lofty dream. I can see the two becoming good friends.

HAPPIESTPLACEHQ TASK 11 - INTRO & CONNECTIONS

olivia flaversham ~ twenty-two ~ criminology student ~ she/her (cis woman, asexual)

[ bio / muse / headcanons / spotify ]

Character Information

Originally hailing from Edinburgh, Olivia has been living for the last four years in Redwood Hollow with her father, Hiram, a toymaker and owner of a tiny souvenir shop.

Hiram was the victim of a kidnapping when his daughter was only eight years old, so ever since that awful event he has been rather overprotective of his daughter.

The Flavershams moved to this quiet little American town searching for peace, and for Olivia to study Criminology at Redwood College, on the recommendation of Dr Dawson, a friend of the family.

Olivia is extremely kind and friendly to all, though she is also quite excitable, slightly naïve, and just a little bit bratty, as a result from her sheltered upbringing.

With the wave of poisonings and thefts happening around town, despite her inexperience, Olivia is very much eager to help with the investigation and bring justice to her new home.

Wanted Connections

Friends: As the warm and sociable person she is, Olivia has a bunch of friends already whom she trusts and loves. She’s always excited to establish new relationships though –the more the merrier!

Professors: In order to be an excellent investigator, one needs a little guidance. Olivia is definitely someone happy to learn, if that helps her getting closer to her dream of becoming a Criminologist.

Partners: There's a mystery in town, and Olivia is determined to be the one to solve it. To be able to do that, however, she needs other investigators –let's say, the Watson to her Holmes.

Plot Ideas

Knitting Buddy: Apart from studying, reading and writing, Olivia's next favorite pastime is knitting, and would love for your character to join her with possible patterns and ideas. Yes, it's kind of a typical granny hobby –so that means it's plenty tried and tested!

Reluctant Associates: Olivia prides herself on being a very amiable girl: that doesn't mean that everyone has to love her. Maybe your character has to share a class with her, or is a fellow volunteer at the RHPD, and isn't exactly overjoyed at having to withstand her antics all day long.

Mysterious Leads: Your character might be aware of Olivia's naiveté and inexperience, and so decides to make her a harmless (or not) prank, handing her clues leading to a dead end. Or perhaps they want to make sure Olivia stays out of their way...

Taken Connections

Friends: @xalicethewonderx, @figarofabbri, @tianarpowell

Other

I would love for Dr Dawson and Basil Baker to join! Apart from the fact that it would be awesome to have them around, I feel like either one of them could be great mentors for Olivia.

Penny's bio mentions her as a potential friend of Olivia; their shared experiences with kidnappings and parental disappearance may bring each other some mutual understanding and common ground to establish a strong friendship.

task dump 1: all about love

read more to learn about francis's love language, family, and identity! (tasks 4, 5, and 6)

Task 4: Love Language

Francis values both words of affirmation and physical touch. Words of affirmation have always been a big part of Francis’s days, both given and received. Similarly, physical touch impacts Francis in a huge way and has only grown more important to him as he’s grown, both to give and to receive.

When Francis realized his parents didn’t know that their words affected him so greatly while in middle school, he wrote a short story illustrating the point sufficiently. His dad, however, just said, “Words are cool, son. That’s how they roll.” Francis knew from this that his dad would try his best but probably not give him the affirmation he desired. This was all right with Francis, as his dad was big on hugs (Francis’s other love language). Francis’s mom loved the short story and to this day tells her son that his words speak to her. (His mom is unlike him in many ways. Something in these interactions, though, manages to qualify as Francis’s love language, so he’ll just take it.)

Francis’s physical interactions with others are very important to him. He’ll initiate conversations with a big hug and end them with a pat on the back, usually longer and more sincere. Francis loves hugs and pats on the back in return. He tells people so whenever it happens.

Francis will ensure that he gives his romantic partner the love language they most prefer. He knows that his ways of receiving love are straightforward, but his ways of giving love come across differently depending on who receives it. This is why he intends on learning more about his future wife early, wooing her the way she likes to experience love.

Task 5: Family

Francis has a large family. The Prices themselves are a five-person family with a solid background with one another. Francis’s parents, Bernard and Divina Price, each have four siblings, so Francis grew up meeting cousin after cousin at family get-togethers. (Bernard Price’s relations actually have the last name Nelson. This is because Bernard was adopted as a pre-teen into the Nelson family but retained the last name Price.) Francis’s mother has living grandparents, so Francis is familiar with the time-honored tradition of only seeing one’s grandparents during the winter holidays.

Francis dreams of someday beginning his own special family with that special someone. His ideal for the family would be he and his wife and their three children, all of whom would be adopted locally.

Francis likes to imagine what his future family will look like and act like. He has box after box of “treasures” that he intends on sharing with them when the time comes.

Francis would be totally devastated if he learned that having a family would not be possible because of his career. In that case, he would step down from whatever position he was filling and work in an advisory capacity, earning enough to support his family and giving himself enough time to spend growing that family.

Task 6: Pride

Francis identifies as a heterosexual and demisexual cis man. (Demisexuality entails sexual attraction to the person of a preferred gender only after a strong connection has been forged.) Francis additionally uses the pronouns he and they, though he describes himself using the pronoun he.

Francis loves the LGBT community. His heroes in industry and history identified fluidly. Francis wants to express his support as an ally and do what he can to further LGBT causes.

Francis used to think that he might be bisexual, but careful thought and experimentation revealed to him that he was straight after all. This time, however, remains one of Francis’s favorite periods of his life, and he is glad that he possessed the confidence to consider every possibility.

Francis enjoys creating visuals for LGBT organizations in his spare time. He uses a dedicated laptop for his contributions to these organizations and goes by the anonymous name “Kaleb Wittman.”

Task Eleven → Intro & Connections

Welcome to our first mandatory task! As I’m sure you have all heard me wax poetic about by now, this task has been created with the intention of helping you all connect better to your fellow writers, and to give you and your partners a head start when it comes to plotting and coming up with connections for your characters. Below you will find a list of plot and connection ideas to help you get started. Now, let me explain the task at hand.

Firstly, treat this like you might do an intro post.

Using the template below as a guide (you can set it out any way you wish, this is just to help you get started) each player must create a post detailing things they are looking for for their characters. There are suggestions in the template for what other things may be useful to include. Anything that is required is marked in bold with an asterisk*. I would then like this post to be pinned to the top of your character blog, or added in some way to your current pinned post, so it is easily accessible to all players. It is up to you if you link it in your theme.

For each character you should have a minimum of 3 connection types, and a further 3 fleshed out plot ideas you are looking for. The more specific you are, the better, but I understand that sometimes a vague title is enough. If there is a plot you really want for your character, put it here! The people need to know.

If you have multiple characters you do not need to fill this out for all of them immediately, but should all be completed by the end of next month. Start with your characters that have less connections when in doubt. Please note that your connections should be varied, and not all focus on shipping and romance, in order to get a good range to work within.

I’m borrowing one of Paige’s as an example of a more fleshed out connections & intro post [here]. This one by Claire is also in depth [here]. I know a few of you have similar posts already but please take the time to make a new post for this task so I can reblog it to @redwoodhollowreview and make sure to tag the blog as well!

Please tag your posts with #happiestplacetask and #happiestplacetask11 so everyone can see. This task is mandatory and will be reblogged.

TEMPLATE

Character Information*

Brief outline about your character, as formal or informal as you like.* Can be paragraphs or bullet points. Include Name, Age & Occupation

Outline of their personality & how they vibe with others.

Anything that you think is important about their past or present that will affect plotting.

A link to their bio on the main, or a more in depth description of their history if you want.

Wanted Connections*

Connection 1

Connection 2

Connection 3

Another? 👀 

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas*

Plot Bunny Number 1 - Short Description, 1 paragraph. You can link inspo posts if you have any.

Plot Bunny Number 2

Plot Bunny Number 3

Taken Connections (like Naomi’s post [here])

Connection 1 e.g. The Best Friend, Name, Info about connection

Connection 2 e.g. The Enemy, Name, Info etc.

If you think a connection is important or may help connect your characters to other characters through mutuals, this is an excellent way to go.

Other

One character from the open tag [here] you would like to see taken / added to the Most Wanted page*

One Character you want to see a bio for in relation to this specific character

Plot Ideas 

Plot ideas should be fleshed, giving specifics of ideas you’ve had for your character that you want to play out but haven’t found someone to write them with yet. For example, they can be as simple as a thread idea (Muses visiting IKEA) to something more long term (Muses are mortal enemies but have to pretend they’re best friends in order to progress in their job).

Task Eleven → Intro & Connections

Deziree Tremaine // 22 // Fashion Design Major // She/Her [Biography tba.]

+ Disciplined, Calculating, Loyal - Jealous, Cold, Tactless

Quick Facts:

Only call her Dezi if she likes you.

Tries very, very hard to stay on trend and look as fashionable as humanly possible. Yes she is judging your fit.

LOVES shoes and bags. Would sell her soul for a Birkin.

Could wax poetic on the history of Chanel, Prada and Mugler.

Can be incredibly standoffish and difficult to warm up.

Bisexual, but doesn’t like people enough to do anything about it.

She is very well practised in the art of people pleasing, batting her eyelashes, saying the right thing, in an attempt to get a foot in the right places, but as of late has become disillusioned by it. It really isn’t getting her anywhere.

As much as Deziree Tremaine wants to be in the “In-Crowd��� she actually, deep down, hates that she’s so desperate to be in with the In. She has always been just on the edge of it, never quite getting the footing she was aiming for.

Forever trying to live up to Mother Tremaine’s impossible standards, seek her approval, and do exactly what mommy dearest wants.

The problem is that Ms. Tremaine has been in prison for going on 2 years (?) which has left Dezi effectively “purposeless”. She doesn’t really know who she is without her mother dictating her life choices. Anastasia and Deziree have both been keeping their mother’s whereabouts a massive secret, which is difficult with people from her old circles ask where she is. The current lie is that she’s on a spa retreat for her health.

On top of that, coming to terms with the fact that their mom had been abusing Ella for years, and that they may well have been victims themselves in different ways is really difficult when you can’t afford a therapist and you’re sure all of your friends were just status symbols.

Dezi has cut herself off emotionally from everything, and is hasn’t really been able to feel anything for months now.

At this point Deziree isn’t sure if she actually has any real friends.

She has no money (except from the secret job she has to try to pay back Ella all the rent she owes her). Deziree really hates that she can’t just buy new shoes on a whim now.

Fun Fact: she doesn’t have a bio on the main because I’m layzee~

Taken Connections

Sister - Anastasia Tremaine @itsme-anastasia​

Ex-Step-Sister - Ella Fontaine @sweetellafontaine​

Closest Friend - Hans Sør @hans-omedevil​

A Something - Travis Montgomery @but-theylovehim (It’s tooooootally not a crush, they were just really good strawberries.)

Other Friends - Charotte La Bouff @charlxttelabouff​ Penelope Deery @penelopedeery

Friends for Clout - Minnie Myshkin @minniemyshkin​

Tries to be in their In-Crowd - The Ashleys

Important Relationships

Ex-Step-Sister - Ella Fontaine

When Deziree first learned that she was going to be getting a new step-sister, because Mom was marrying some guy, she was so excited that she couldn’t shut up about it. Yeah, she had her real sister Anastasia, but a new sister and friend sounded so cool! (She was about 6 at the time, and unjaded. Anastasia was about 8, and this new girl, Ella, 10).

Ms. Tremaine put a quick stop to that excitement, however, and instructed that Deziree was not to make friends with her, as she wasn’t really her family. She kept them separate in all affairs. When Ella’s father passed, Ms. Tremaine’s treatment of Ella only worsened.

Over the years, under the influence of mom, Deziree didn’t treat Ella with much kindness (though there had always been that little niggling in the back of her head that she wanted to be friends with Ella but wasn’t allowed, and had to keep up the act to please her mom and avoid having the treatment turned on herself and Anastasia).

She became jealous of Ella -she was pretty and gentle and kind despite everything- especially of the attention that her mom devoted to Ella, even if it was negative. Deziree’s opinion of Ella was skewed by her mom’s view of her -Deziree had to be better than Ella to win mom’s affection (of which there was very little) and being better than Ella was hard because Ella was perfect.

When Ella won her court case against Ms. Tremaine, Ella agreed to let the sisters stay in her house as long as they paid rent. Deziree was conflicted, knowing her part in Ella’s treatment and knowing that the chances of mending their relationship were slim, but ultimately agreed when she realised she had nowhere else to go.

Ella has always treated Deziree with kindness despite it all.

Their relationship is incredibly strained but she is taking baby steps to opening up to her ex-step-sister to maybe one day become friends after all. At the very least, she is trying to treat her with more sympathy than she ever did before.

Wanted Connections / Wanted Plots

“Friends” - People who Deziree claims to be friends with, or people who were linked to the world of the wealthy. You know, they say they’re all, like, totally BFFs, come be in my selfie! But really they couldn’t tell you 2 interesting facts about each other after all the small talk at parties.

Mentor or Fashion School Professor - Deziree is a fashion student but has always felt overshadowed by Ella’s attendance on the same course, and the fact Ella went on to open her own fashion business. She may be vain, but her self-esteem isn’t actually that great, and she could use a guiding hand that genuinely wants to see her succeed. OR on the other hand, a professor who just can’t stop comparing her to the wonderful Ella and Deziree has to prove them wrong.

Bullied - LBR Deziree was a bully in high school because she thought it would get her in with the cool kids. Someone from Deziree’s year or below at school that she picked on.

Friends of Lady Tremaine - Lady Tremaine knew many, many people (but not enough people knew her or her daughters for her liking). Someone has most certainly noticed she hasn’t been to any functions recently. Deziree will continue lying about it. Probably older people of Redwood Hollow, and more likely to be well-off.

A Real Friend - Deziree really needs to make her first real friend that isn’t part of the wealthy world she has always aspired to be a part of. Good luck to whoever dares try.

I actually don’t have many wanted plots for Deziree that don’t link to the wanted connections above. She really just needs warming up and to get out of the cycle of trying to fit in with crowds that don’t want her. Dezi is stuck in her ‘I don’t know who I am but I don’t know I don’t know who I am’ phase right now so anything that gets her out of her shell and her comfort zone. I’m willing to talk plots for her! If she fits a connection you want or a plot, I’m down.

Wanted Characters

With Bios: Camilla Deville & Patricia “Patty” Marriane

Camilla Deville - A local designer who owns her own fashion store in town. Deziree is desperate to with for her, in the store and eventually as part of her design team.

Patricia Marriane - Ella’s Godmother / Babysitter. I just think it would be an interesting dynamic to explore, as Patricia takes care of Ella and she knows of Deziree’s part in her mistreatment.

Task Eleven → Intro & Connections

Nani Pelekai // Thirty // Owner of Ohana Dance Studios // She/Her [Biography]

+ Hard-Working, Devoted, Feisty - Sarcastic, Stern, Irritable

Quick Facts:

Moved to Redwood Hollow from Hawai’i when she was 14 because of her dad’s job. They were supposed to move back when dad’s 5-year contract ended, but they didn’t get that far. The Pelekai’s still live in the house that their parents bought when they moved to Redwood Hollow.

#Disaster Bisexual - has for sure had the hots for all of her best friends at some point, and the only person that knows this is her Super Secret Diary.

Never sits down. Runs on caffeine. Tries to cook but is fucking awful at it. Sleep, whomst?

Has worked just about every single job going in Redwood Hollow at some point in the past 12 years.

Was a surfing champion in Hawai’i in her teens, and often went back during the summer to compete after moving to Redwood Hollow.

Was accepted to Redwood College for Dance & Sports Sciences on a sports scholarship, and had started her first year before ultimately dropping out to look after Lilo.

Fought tooth and nail to keep her family together, and will absolutely fight anyone who gets in the way of that. (To be fair, she’ll fight you for less. Don’t piss her off unless you want to be absolutely roasted to death.)

Drives an absolutely ancient car that only has a cassette player. She saved up for it as a teen through odd jobs and competition earnings, and finally had enough to buy her first car the year after her parents died. She hasn’t been able to afford another since.

Nani is super friendly and can talk to just about anyone, but be warned, she is also extremely sarcastic and takes no bullshit from anybody. She will call you out.

Taken Connections

Ohana - Lilo Pelekai (Sister) @imsorryibityoux, Stephen Pelekai (Adopted Brother)

Housemates - Gwen Pleakley @gwen-pleakley, Javi Jookiba @javi-jookiba

Besties - David Kawena (See Below), Babette Dust @babettedust, Becky Detweiler @beckydetweiler, Victor Lumier @victorlumiere

Relationships

What Are We? Boyfriend - Paxton Patterson @paxtonpatterson​

Nani and Paxton are one giant question mark, and one big avoided answer. They’re totally dating, but they’re both also totally stupid and in denial about. Everyone can see it. Paxton makes Nani feel all sorts of ways -happy being the main one- and she’s absolutely terrified she’s going to fuck it up by putting a label on it. She’s also scared that if she lets herself focus too much on herself and a relationship, she’ll miss something with Lilo. She will come out with the excuse that she’s “too busy” for all that mushy romance shit, but let’s be real, one look at Paxton’s puppy dog-eyes and floppy hair and she’s swooning. Plus, he’s a great cook, prime roasting fodder, and makes for a very comfortable napping location.

Ex-Boyfriend - Freddie “Flash” Slothmore @flash-hundredyarddash

They dated for a while waaaay back in the day. Nani thought she was ready for dating again but it was this relationship that made her realise that there was no room for that in her life when looking after her kid sister, and working 3 jobs. Freddie wanted them to go off into the world on some chill adventures, which sounded great in theory, but wouldn’t work in practice. The relationship ended amicably and they’re still friends.

Other Connections:

TJ Detweiler @tj-detweiler - Becky’s Brother. Pain in the ass. Would like to be paid for babysitting him, thanks.

Patrick Patterson @patrickpattersxn - Paxton’s Brother. They’ve bonded over absolutely roasting Paxton, and each other, apparently.

Elsa Arendelle @magicalelsaarendelle

Mrs Hasagawa - Nani worked at her Fruit Stall. She is now the bane of her and Paxton’s life. Ring-Leader of the Yoga Ladies.

Mary Gibbs @itsmarygibbs & Adam Legrand @magicaladamlegrand​

Persephone Kore @itspersephxne​ - The apparent mastermind behind setting up her and Paxton.

Hayden Bodaway @haydenbodaway​ - Paxton’s “Dad”/ Boss. Nani is stupidly intimidated by him though she would like to think otherwise, and makes an arse of herself every time she’s in the same room as him.

Wanted Connections:

The Yoga Ladies - Anyone can be a Yoga Lady. They have all banded together to give Nani shit about her love life, and honestly probably do that with half the town. Generally all older people in town, but basically anyone that attends the Yoga Class can fall under this category.

Lilo’s Friends (and enemies)

People that attend dance classes at her studio, or have kids/ siblings etc. that go.

Past Employers & Past Colleagues - Until Nani took over running the dance studio, she had to work every job she could get to keep her house, car, and siblings well-fed. If your character owns a business or is a manager, there’s a high chance that Nani has worked for them at some point. Whether she was fired, or quit, is all up for discussion. And she definitely knows a ton of people from having worked with them too.

Enemies - Nani needs someone that just really grinds her gears in the worst possible way.

Surf Buddies - Either current surf buddies or old surf buddies from her competition days

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas

Watch Where You’re Going, Stupid Head! - Someone gets on Nani’s bad side for one reason or another. Maybe they almost hit her with their car and she proceeds to stick a boot in their bumper and she has to pay for the damages, or someone just catches her on a really bad day.

Two Left Feet - Nani has been tasked with teaching someone to dance, either because they want to build their confidence, or because they want to surprise someone, or anything really, but it turns out they have the coordination of a shopping cart.

Green Eyes - Would an Are-They-Dating? plot be complete without a little jealousy added into the mix to spice things up a little? Either Nani is jealous of someone who had been eyeing Paxton up at the bar, or she misconstrued a look from Paxton to someone else as potential flirting and honed in on that poor person instead of calling Paxton out, because she’s totally not jealous or anything.

Someone brings in David Kawena (see below) for the drama lmfao

Honestly, I don’t have too many wanted plot ideas for Nani that wouldn’t be heavily connection driven, so feel free to message me to spitball anything you want from Nani!

Wanted Characters

Characters I would love to see taken/ an OC for (in relation to Nani) that one day might get bios:

DAVID KAWENA my beloved! - Nani’s all-time best friend. They grew up together, and David was there for Nani and Lilo when their parents died. David was always Nani’s rock, her voice of reason, and her shoulder to cry on. At some point there were mutual feelings, and they almost dated multiple times, but Nani never acted on her feelings because she was afraid of ruining their friendship. (David was too important to her to lose him over something as stupid as dating.)

Honestly, would love to say they were best friends in Hawai’i and he came here to start college with Nani, and then tragedy struck, but can totally work with anything here. He either has been here this whole time, or had to move back to The Island a few years ago but Nani still keeps him updated on everything.

(And honestly who doesn’t love a bit of almost-lovers drama? Especially now that Nani is almost-kinda-sorta dating Paxton amarite???)

MOSES PULOKI - In the movie, this is Lilo’s Hula Teacher. Totally up for spitballing ideas on this one, but either he was Nani & Lilo’s childhood Hula Teacher, now in Redwood Hollow as a trainer or retiree, or he’s the person Nani took over the studio from.

With Bios: Stephen Pelakai & Cobra Bubbles

Stephen Pelakai - Nani & Lilo’s Adopted Brother. Honestly, as if social work wasn’t complicated enough they had to go and adopt Stephen into the family. Nani is listed as his guardian, as she is with Lilo, but she calls him little brother.

Cobra Bubbles - The Pelekai family social worker. Nani couldn’t see it at the time, but Bubbles really was looking out for Nani to make sure she did what was best for Lilo. I just think it would be really fun to see their dynamic now that Nani isn’t fighting against him all the time, and the risk of Lilo being taken away is now 0 because she’s not a minor anymore.

Patrick Patterson

Character Information*

The Basics*

FULL NAME: patrick patterson

NICKNAME: n/a

GENDER: male

PRONOUNS: he/him

AGE: thirty-three

OCCUPATION: bartender @ mount olympus member of hayden bodaways mob, third in command

FACECLAIM: adam driver

ORIENTATION: straight

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: single

PETS: none - he can barely look after himself

The Personality*

+ Loyal, Efficient, Obedient - Anxious, Short-Tempered, Mischievous

patrick is someone that can’t hide his emotions. It became a running joke that he could only feel one emotion at a time since whatever emotion he felt seemed to completely overwhelm him. he’s not the most intelligent person, in fact, in his own opinion his brother got all the good genes and all the leftover ones were left for him. he’s tall and has a default facial expression that can be daunting and intimidating to others but he is a big softie on the inside. patrick is awkward and incredibly anxious about a lot of things and that is a main factor to why he  prefers to stay in the background, leaving his brother to take the lead out of them both.

patrick is a dumb dumb. he’s not great at identifying what people need in terms of care but he tries his best and that really shows. he only tries when he’s around people he cares about. patrick is selective of who he cares about, he’s been burned before. he keeps his circle small to his family/extended family. if someone’s in need and it’s an emergency, it’s probably not patrick you want to call for.

Additional Notes*

hates technology

there’s a running scoreboard in mount olympus of ‘patrick vs technology’ the technology is winning by a long mile

sandwich enthusiast - basically lives off them

clumsy af 

he’s. kinda. just. there. like a stray cat. or a big plant.

Random Quirks*

known for spraying people with the water hose in the bar if they’re annoying him 

a genius at maths but can’t articulate his thoughts for shit

banned from yoga class because mrs hasagawa said that she’s seem more grace in a piece of wet spaghetti

Wanted Connections*

friends

neighbours

work colleagues - @henrikhera @ritasaysrelax @paxtonpatterson

ex’s - ended on good or bad terms, lingering feelings, on again & off again

lovers

childhood friends - since hayden took him in

will they, won’t they

first love

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas*

fake girlfriend because I saw what lengths my mum went to to set up my brother and i don’t want that to happen to me. it started out as a joke. patrick invited muse b to one of their family’s formal dinner parties to get their relatives off of their case. so many business opportunities to talk about, but somehow, a young adult’s love-life was much more interesting. muse b agreed to it, having grown up in a much poorer setting, just to see what it was like. the first party that they attended together, muse a found much more interesting than any had ever before, all of the attention taken off from them. muse b found it to as amazing as they imagined. they fit in naturally in the setting, creating avid conversation with all around. after that, a pact was made. patrick and muse b would be formal dates to these parties in each event. but what happens when an act begins to slip into reality?

romeo & juliet (mob version) - they’re involved in the mob on opposing sides. they meet on a mission or are sent to wipe the other out, safe to say that doesn’t happen. they sneak around to avoid being caught, drama and angst ensues

patrick ends up getting a room-mate and they continuously keep getting into awkward situations between the two like, he walks in on her in the shower or she walks in on him half naked and it just keeps getting super super awkward between the two and you can just feel the tension between the two

Taken Connections*

parental figures - @haydenbodaway and @itspersephxne - hayden took patrick and paxton in when they were kids & saved patricks life. the patterson brothers seen hayden as their dad since then and hayden eventually adopted them officially. persephone came into their lives when she met hayden and they struck up a relationship. she’s kind, sweet and has a lot of motherly tendencies - especially when looking out for patrick who is the younger of the pattersons. persephone has become a mother figure to the pattersons and patrick has no doubt that it’s only a matter of time until it’s official, expecially with hayden and persephone now expecting twins.

boss - @haydenbodaway - when patrick first met hayden properly he know there and then what the phrase ‘fear of god’ really meant. despite being his dad, hayden checks that title at the door and when they’re in a workplace environment, it’s strictly boss and employee in both bar and mob. the mob is a secret in town and patrick is third in command after hayden and paxton. he knows hayden is prepping paxton to take over the mob one day and patrick is relieved that he doesn’t have to deal with that responsibility.

brother - @paxtonpatterson - patrick’s big brother. the boys lost their parents when they were young and they have been fending for themselves ever since. his brother is the only one that he feels like he can rely on and as the younger of the two brothers, patrick looks up to paxton and admires his brother massively. paxton can do no wrong in patrick’s eyes and patrick follows him blindly into whatever situation his brother gets involved in. He truly believes that his brother knows what’s best for them.

ex - @sweetellafontaine - ella and patricks relationship has become a complicated one. ella is hayden’s goddaughter. patrick and ella were good friends and patrick looked out for ella, eventually ella had confessed feelings for him and after what felt like forever he finally opened up and confessed the same. it wasn’t long after that things had fallen apart, he had fallen out of favour and they split up. patrick took this hard as ella had encouraged him to open up. it was the first time he had really opened up to someone only for them to decide it wasn’t for them. it was a harsh blow. he knows it’s not ella’s fault, but it’s hard to not feel a sting at that. 

brother’s girlfriend whatever the hell is going on - @themanagerisavampirex - and patrick thought he was the stupid one. jesus christ. watching nani and paxton skate around their obvious feelings has patrick wanting to scream. no only is it a harsh reminder he’s likely to be forever alone, but it’s the first time he’s seen his brother genuinely happy. paxton was always so angry and deliberatly drows himself in a sea of work (both the bar and mob) but nani has managed to pull him up for air. patrick honest to god likes seeing his brother happy, he forgot what his brothers laugh sounded like until nani came along. he’s just worried about how nani will react when paxton tells her other work/not bar related news. 

cousin - @henrikhera - sunspot. hayden dislikes henrik because he’s his brother’s son but patrick doesn’t mind the guy. he thinks it’s cool that henrik stood up to his parents and started dating @magicalterencegold even thought he knew how they would react. he respects henrik for that. 

uncle - @aresolympia - hayden’s brother & patricks uncle. he’s actually pretty concerned for his uncles eyesight but knows ares and hayden have the money for the best doctors money can buy. he was recently at ares and gaspards wedding, he had a great time at that and is glad his uncle found someone. 

she’s pretty and scary - @imattractedtopower - she came into the bar, asked for a wine and patrick made a fool of himself.

#happiestplacetask #happiestplacetask11

[francispprice]

task 12: secrets seven

read more to learn seven secrets about francis price!

Secret 1: Francis feels somewhat strongly about this: his living conditions need to be exactly how he operates and thinks, or he will experience a real panic attack. He’s come home in the recent past to find that his parents “cleaned” his living areas and bedroom for him, and the fallout was always severe. When Francis explains that he prefers his spaces to be his, this secret is the one he will always go into.

Secret 2: Francis would similarly have a real panic attack if this secret made its way to public knowledge: he worked hard to find the best clothing and jewelry (his ears are pierced) for his body type and spent an entire year researching online the coolest styles for his personality and style of expression. When people know that you tried very hard for your fashion sense, Francis has seen, they tend to devalue your wardrobe choices afterward. Francis will make sure that he is the only one who understands the effort that went into, and still does go into, his signature look.

Secret 3: Francis won’t mind if his friends or acquaintances ever learn this: he has perfect pitch. The Prices were not a musical family, so Francis discovered this natural gift in the spring of fourth grade, when he took part in an elementary production of Grease. (He played slick talker Sonny.) His gift of accurate vocal pitch discovered, Francis went on to learn the guitar chords for all of his favorite songs, including 80’s hits “You Might Think” by the Cars and “Take On Me” by a-ha. He still plays these songs in his bedroom and sings along to unwind after long school days.

Secret 4: Francis’s friends and immediate family understand that Francis possesses no instinct for physical danger. He would walk into traffic if he didn’t have a reason to stop and think about it, such as the bright red hand sign that urges one to wait to cross. If Francis ever gets seriously hurt—and he’s come very, very close—he will only have himself to blame for not letting this secret spread more widely.

Secret 5: Only Francis’s mother knows that Francis likes 80’s music more than any other type. Francis had to tell her in the summer after fourth grade so that she would buy him his guitar.

Secret 6: Francis wishes that he could talk about this more openly, but people wouldn’t understand his rationale behind using both he and they for his pronouns. The topic is widely diminished by those who do not want to learn more about it and choose to make fun of it. Francis likes the pronoun they because it shows that he is more than societal gender roles would imply. He likes the pronoun he because it shows that he is brave enough to identify as a man in a culture in which men consistently drop the ball.

Secret 7: Francis has had “prophetic” dreams before and entirely attributes his biggest successes to them. Francis knows that no one would ever believe him; he prefers for people to think he’s normal. That said, Francis’s dreams have encouraged him to choose, for example, the first option instead of the second option, which helped him meet a good friend of his at a summer camp that the first option he encountered during his day led to. They have also told him to stay home from school on a day during which the entire school experienced a three-hour fire drill, for reasons that Francis will openly talk about. The three-hour fire drill would have been disastrous for someone as spontaneous and free-spirited as Francis. Francis fears his entire circle turning against him and calling him “crazy” for believing in this special gift.

[guinevere--bach]

HAPPIESTPLACEHQ Task 5 - Family (part one)

Describe your character’s family

Do they know their family? Were they raised by them?

Guinevere would be hard pressed to say she was in any way really raised by her parents. Charles and Louise Laverne, married perhaps too young, were increasingly growing apart and barely talked to each other by the time Agatha, the youngest daughter, turned five, and cut all communication when Charles ran away with his mistress. The eldest, Joan, was often given the responsibility to help around the house and to look after her sisters, which she did to the best of her abilities, which Guinevere would say wasn't enough. Between cooking and cleaning and doing the household chores, the eldest dated a guy who became increasingly emotionally abusive towards her, and which she ended up eloping with when she turned nineteen. The second in the line of command, Sophie, was the most rebellious one of the bunch and was often away from the big old crumbling Laverne house, mixing with bad company and competing with Guinevere, then named Lucy, for the attention of the older boys. When she was seventeen, however, a driving incident led to her being severely injured, hospitalized and eventually dying from internal bleeding and a traumatic head injury.

After the tragedy and the death in the family, the second youngest, Frances, focused on becoming just like Sophie, trying her damnedest to be defiant and antagonistic towards her mother and being cool and intimidating, even though she lacked her older sister's brash confidence. Still, she managed to become a particularly bad influence on Agatha, the youngest Laverne sister and quite spoiled by Louise as their 'golden child'. Agatha, on her part, focused for a while on excelling in her studies, much like Lucy, with the goal of getting away from the family and from Missouri as soon as she could. Her academic success earned her a scholarship to France, which she took as her chance to start anew, much like Frances did, and release her wilder side, partying, dropping out of college and having a taste of the good life.

All in all, the sisters were too focused on their own troubles to properly help and care for each other, as much as they tried. Add that to Louise's constant pitting them against each other, which didn't exactly encourage them to truly bond with one another. That didn't mean that particular alliances and animosities were created. While Agatha and Frances were relatively close, Lucy was the most resentful of her sisters, with her looking down on Joan's perceived weakness, Frances' impulsiveness, and Agatha's bad choices. That didn't stop her from trying to support her sisters in any way she could, though often failing to really connect with them on a meaningful level. The only sister she was truly close to, Sophie, was the one who left the biggest impression on Lucy. Her death hit her especially hard.

What was your character’s relationship like with their parents?

In one word, tough. Her parents, especially her mother, only showed their children love when the daughters did something to 'deserve' it. With Louise preferring Agatha, the baby of the Lavernes, over the rest, and going especially hard on spoiling her when Charles left his family, it's no wonder the other four girls didn't see their parents with any sort of affection. Louise's hands-off approach to raising the three eldest in particular led them to seek guidance somewhere else, usually in their friends or partners.

Guinevere, for example, tried to fill the void caused by the broken relationship with her parents, and her resentment towards her father for abandoning them and leaving them her debts and barely any money to live, through flirting and becoming the sole center of attention of her boyfriends, which most often led to some pretty codependent relationships. As an adult, Guinevere has cut all ties with her mother, and has basically forgotten about her father altogether.

If they weren’t raised by their parents, who raised them? Do they consider the people that raised them to be their family?

One could say Guinevere raised herself. Growing up, she searched for guidance in some of her teachers and professors, but the relationships she formed with them never really went beyond the classroom walls. Her older sister Joan did try to help Guinevere during her development, to support her and encourage a sisterly bond to blossom; but Lucy Laverne didn't like people telling her what to do, and her relationship with Joan was always stunted, much like Lucy's relationship with her mother.

At the end of the day, Guinevere does consider the Lavernes to be her family, though not a particularly good or loving one.

Overall, how did the idea of family affect your character?

There was certainly an envy young Lucy felt when seeing her classmates and their parents enjoying themselves, and when she saw other families spending quality time together. Her lack of a family that supported her unconditionally, that loved her despite everything, has led her to conclude that family, much like love, is an overrated concept.

Thinking about the future, do they want to make a family of their own? What would that look like to them?

Guinevere rather dislikes children: she sees them as too noisy, too cumbersome, too dirty. She did think about having a family with David, her first husband, less out of a sincere desire to be a mother than for a desire to 'have it all'. The only child she has interacted with some frequency was Sofia, since the girl was twelve; and she has never had any interest in raising her or developed any sort of fondness towards her, despite the girl's attempts at bonding with her stepmother. Now that she's nearing her forties, Guinevere has definitely confirmed her lack of interest in raising children of her own. If her biological clock hasn't tried to make her long for a baby yet, she doesn't really expect it to start now.

Paxton Patterson

Character Information*

The Basics*

FULL NAME: paxton patterson

NICKNAME: n/a

GENDER: male

PRONOUNS: he/him

AGE: thirty-six

OCCUPATION: bartender @ mount olympus member of hayden bodaways mob, right hand man/ 2nd in command

FACECLAIM: kit harington

ORIENTATION: straight

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: who knows what’s going on with him and @themanagerisavampirex​ lmao

PETS: does @patrickpattersxn​ count? 

The Personality*

+ Strong, Loyal, Intelligent - Reckless, Narcissistic, Overprotective

Paxton is the eldest of the Patterson brothers by two years. Even now he sees himself still looking after his little brother at times. They are in their thirties and they are still wrestling and causing chaos when they’re together. Being the older sibling, a lot fell on Paxton. He and his brother were on the streets growing up and it wasn’t until they met Hayden that things changed. Paxton started working for Hayden and with the money we was earning, Paxton could use it for he and his brother. Paxton is loyal to the very depth of his bones but his loyalty will always lie most with his brother first and then Hayden.

Being in the role that he is in now, Paxton is often used as the brawn. He was the one that would kick off a fight and end it without any damage. But with the power and the doors that got opened while working for Hayden, Paxton has developed a habit of being reckless in situations. He’s very much a punch first, think later kind of guy and that works for him. He’s a bit of a pretty boy. He knows he looks good and he works out daily in the gym to keep himself in peak physical condition. Paxton is happy to fight for the cause as long as it doesn’t bust up his face.

Additional Notes*

the logical brother

the serious brother

has ocd - his ocd relates to organisation and arranging

is to take over from Hayden as head of the mob one day 

Random Quirks*

has high security gates around his home & his home stands alone. it’s unwelcoming & inside is as minimalistic as it can be. it doesn’t look lived in (well, until nani showed up)

the only guy that’s part of the ‘yoga ladies’ class. he joined yoga to keep his temper in check and he got on well with the group despite his grumpy demeanour. the women ogle him like a piece of meat and terrorise him. it’s all in good jest, apart from mrs hasagawa, paxton is suspicious of her intentions. he goes to all the yoga ladies events like wine nights/lunches and even when one of them have parties for award ceremonies/met gala etc. he knows it’s dumb but it’s one thing he has that’s not revolving around work. 

outstanding cook - refuses to showcase this. he only cooks for family (and nani)

Wanted Connections*

friends - can he have friends? i’m not sure

neighbours - his house stands alone but your house could be the closest to his

work colleagues - @henrikhera @ritasaysrelax @patrickpattersxn​

first love

ex’s

family friends

nani’s friends - the good lord herself doesn’t know how to label nani and him but it’s obvious enough that nani is going to be in paxtons life and by extension that means so are her friends

nani’s family - same as above

mob mentality

bar customers

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas*

anything that brings out mob paxton™️ 

Green Eyes - Like Gemma ( @themanagerisavampirex​ ) said, Would an Are-They-Dating? plot be complete without the green monster rearing its head? As Gemma suggested on her wanted plot for Nani, but from Paxton’s perspective. Either Nani is jealous of someone who had been eyeing Paxton up at the bar, or she misconstrued a look from Paxton to someone else as potential flirting and honed in on that poor person instead of calling Paxton out, because she’s totally not jealous or anything. Paxton is none the wiser because he’s only being civil to whoever approached him and he’s clearly only got eyes for Nani, not that Nani is aware 

yoga ladies - middle aged women that live to terrorise and objectify paxton to their hearts content lmao

Character Information*

Rita Jacobs / She,Her / 28 years old / Lounge Singer at ‘Snake Eyes’ Casino & Bartender at ‘Mount Olympus’

Rita is your resident ‘here for a good time, not a long time’ gal and you’ll be lucky to really know anything about her. She’s super charming, very friendly and is totally friends with everyone! Um, just not close friends. You know how it is...

Grew up in New York city, living there for the majority of her life before bouncing around. She had roots there- real, deep, connections- and then she left. And decided to never do that again, thank you very much!

Ended up in Redwood Hollow after drifting for what felt like forever. There was something almost comforting about just how homey, ‘know your neighbour’, it is here. It feels like she could really be a part of something- if she wanted to.

Loves to dance and kiss pretty people before never calling them back! She was really just trying to chill out and look hot, to be perfectly honest. Never dwell too long on things that might hurt her feelings- the usual stuff.

When Halloween happened and she got a batch of the Bad PepsiTM, it gave her a big ole dose of existential crisis. She knew everybody, she had so many friends (right?) and she had people that cared about her (right?). She let people care about her and know her, right? Wrong.

So yeah, we’re just kinda going Through It in this Chili’s tonight.

Wanted Connections*

Exes / ex hook ups - Rita is (of course, itsa me!) bi-bi-bi! And just #badatlove so would love to have some ex-almost relationships. They could have had it all! Or maybe they brought out the worst in each other? Or maybe they used to hook up but things got complicated or they might actually be good friends (think Mark Sloan x Callie Torres).

*Ex #1 - @rangerbuzzlightyear *Ex #2 - @chelsea-katz

#Ghosted - they talked and it was epic but then the sun came up... Basically, these two really did vibe and it toed the line of being something #real so, naturally, Rita had to disappear faster than you could say ‘hey, here’s my number’.

Past Connections - so, they knew each other before Redwood! Either in New York or wherever Rita was drifting around. Bonus points if she conned you out of your wallet or at least a few martinis- I’m imagining fake names and a very convincing backstory about being with the band, or something.

Flaky FriendsTM - either they’re both a mess and could try harder or Rita is always bailing on your character. After the #poising incident, Rita is now trying to make amends and reconnect with them.

Wanted Plots / Plot Ideas*

'Take a drunk girl home, let her sleep all alone.mp3′ - (not actually gender specific) but Rita helped your character home one night from the lounge or bar, or maybe they were both just out and about. She held their hair back when they threw up, listened to their drunken rambles and made sure they didn’t fall asleep in their shoes. 

‘Take it outside, pal!’ - Rita caught you on a bad night but you were causing just even trouble she had to toss you out of the bar! Maybe now things are awkward or there’s a grudge! Maybe the memory of that night hasn’t quite come back to them until... 

‘You only call me when it’s half past five’ - so this can either be for your character at Rita or vice versa! But they never really hang out under normal circumstances. They only ever call them when they need a ride home or are feeling lonely, or are being a mess. They tell them secrets and pretend they never kissed. Still, either one of them still keeps picking up the phone.

Taken Connections*

Nani Pelekai - bestie but in the way she knows that Nani already has #1 besties. @themanagerisavampirex

Mary Gibbs - #1 girlies! If she has time for anyone, it’s Mary @itsmarygibbs (@magicaladamlegrand for Adam’s knowledge!)

Alice Little - Rita was getting closer to Alice after their re-appearance, checking up on them and bonding. Until it all went wrong on Halloween... Rita didn’t mean to keep secrets from Alice, she just wanted to know that they were okay. Now it’s all messed up. @xalicethewonderx

Arista Neptune - Rita definitely wanted to start a flirtationship with Arista which has now spiraled into the potential for something more...more- which is very scary. Finds herself thinking about her and her sunshine disposition way too much. @aristaneptune

Morgan - Morgan is just a ray of sunshine, Rita loves to catch up with them whenever they can for a good time and gossip. @mxmorganmorph

Oz Borror & Hayden Bodaway - her respective employers at her two jobs. @ozborror-highroller , @haydenbodaway

Patrick Patterson - did you know Rita had a roommate? Well, souprise! @patrickpattersxn (also @paxtonpatterson and @itspersephxne I feel like this can give us some shenanigans too!!)

Iridessa Sol - thinks she’s an absolute babe!!! @iridessa-sol
