Using the unusual names in the namebank below, create a class of students, both male and female - I'll leave it up to you to use each name for the gender you prefer it as. Each student is around 12 years old, and you should give us about fifteen to twenty students in all. Please also supply short character descriptions/bios with each student.

Mr. Melrose Clarimonde
Eclipse Secret
Eclipse is a young goth girl, she shuns all human contact in favour of her iPod and books, despite that she seems to do very well in school as long as there aren't group assignments.
Falcon Cadenza
Falcon is a very popular little girl with the typical blonde hair, blue eyes and bubbly attitude and she gets along well with everybody. She is closest to Winter in her large group of friends.
February Light
February is a very studious girl, she always has her nose buried in her schoolwork and when she's done that she pulls out a book to read.
Grove Snow
Grove is a somewhat troubled boy, always mouthing off or skipping school completely and his two friends, Magpie and Vale, are only slightly better.
Imagine Serendipity
Imagine and Posy are the only twins in the class and are very alike. Both like to draw, with constant sketches all over their notebooks but Imagine is more active than her sister and closest to Zeal, Nova and Posy.
Jersey Abalone
Jersey is the sensitive guy in his group as well as the leader, he is always ready to listen to anyone's problems and attempts to offer a solution. He hangs out with Falcon, Imagine, Legato, Lore, Odyssey, Nova, Posy, Tranquil, Valley, Winter and Zeal.
Kestrel Fate
Kestrel adores music, he brings his iPod with him everywhere and is learning to play the acoustic guitar. He hangs around the other people in his slowly forming band - Rebel, Solace, Stone and Tune.
Legato Garland
Legato is the only active pyro in the class, he is constantly fiddling with his lighter which is hidden in his desk or bag. He rarely pays attention in class and hangs around with Falcon, Imagine, Jersey, Lore, Odyssey, Nova, Posy, Tranquil, Valley, Winter and Zeal.
Lore Radiance
Lore is one of the two jocks in his group of friends - Falcon, Imagine, Jersey, Legato, Odyssey, Nova, Posy, Tranquil, Valley, Winter and Zeal - but instead of hanging out with the other jocks in the class he prefers them.

Allegra Lyric and Cadenza Ballad Fortescue - Identical twin daughters of music freaks...their parents went to Julliard. Their mother (an Italian, explaining the first names) is an orchestra professor and their father a conductor. As for the girls, they have been playing piano and violin since age 4, cello since age 10, flute since 11 and are now starting guitar as well. They also sing in the school chorus.
Temperance Unity Stanhope - Temperance is from New England, and yes, her ancestors were Puritans. She is very quiet and thoughtful, and follows a strict moral code. She's friends with Mauve.
Valor Honor Crosthwaite - very brave, always climbing trees and what-not. She is very kind as well, and is very chivalrous. She's friends with Requiem, Obsidian, Innocent, Piper, Silence, and Clarimonde.
Requiem Garland Bach - Very, very smart. His mother spent her entire pregnancy listening to Mozart's Requiem (explaining the first name; Garland was a family name), influencing his intelligence in life. He has an obsession with J.S. Bach (ironically), and loves Beethoven. His classmates think he's a little crazy, and thus shun him. He is slowly becoming a goth. His best friend is Valor, and he also hangs around Allegra and Cadenza.
Innocent Merlin - mother a devout Catholic, father obsessed with Arthurian Romances. Go figure. Innocent is a troublemaker, ironically. None of the other guys like him, but his best friend is Valor; they prank together.
Ivy Joy Wang - Very smart...in 7th grade she's already in Geometry, and is one of the Mathletes. She's good friends with Temperance.
Echo Essence McNamara - a hippy. Is made fun of for her name, but doesn't care because she's already found her parents medicine cabinet. Used to have an obsession with Greek Mythology, but most of her intelligence went down the drain when the drugs started.
Mauve Wisteria Lane - Red-headed beauty, she's the most popular girl in the class. Very nice though, and old-fashioned. She's friendly with Temperance, Mauve, Kenya, and Viola.
