DW (20): Lucretia Beatrix Riordan (Auburn, coily hair, Gray eyes)
DH (20): Simon Peter Morgan (Brown eyes, Wavey, Light brown)
It’s 1961 and Simon Morgan decided to move from his small town in Wales to an American university to study literature. Simon found it hard to fit in with the Americans there and as he had nothing in common with people who had lived on that kind of place. That was until he started to gravitate towards Lucretia, a beautiful woman with auburn coily hair tightly rapped up and curious grey eyes. Like Simon, she had trouble fitting in, so naturally her and Simon began speaking, he found out she, like him, and come from the countryside on the British and Irish isles. Although a rather large difference is he lived in a shop in which his family owned and she lived in a castle in Ireland. She spoke of how her father inherited the castle before he got one of his servants, a Jamaican woman, pregnant, a birth in which would result with Lucretia. She spoke to Simon of how she left out at home as people was constantly bring up her legitimacy as her fathers daughter but her father never had any other children and her father always called Lucretia his own, without a question. Over this year Lucretia and Simon became very close, so close that Lucretia offered Simon to come back with her to her castle on the outskirts of Northern Ireland, a castle Lucretia had failed to mention was supposedly haunted.

Lucian Ramsay Faulkner
Lenore Lucretia Craven Faulkner
Lucian Faulkner. A man with loose, messy, black curls and dark green eyes. A renown, but reclusive sculptor by trade.
Lenore Craven. A petite lady with flowing auburn curls and twinkling, gray eyes. A nurse with love for the arts and a passion for Shakespearean and Greek tragedies.
Lucian and Lenore met at an event Lenore's parents were hosting. Lenore's high society parents, Luther and Evangeline Craven, commissioned Lucian to create a sculpture for their lavish party. Lenore, whose attendance to such events were always required of her, found herself not only intrigued by the lovely, yearning creation but also the mysterious, brooding sculptor in the corner.

Nik and Vivian met in a book shop three years ago. They both wanted to buy the last copy of a rare book and Vivian, who was already attracted to Nik, suggested that she paid for the book (and shared it with him) and he invited her to a coffee. Nik accepted, they grabbed a coffee, began to talk and the rest is history. They are now married and living in a Victorian house.

House: A Victorian home
Dorian and Morrigan first met in the eighth grade. Dorian was painfully shy, while Morrgian was starry-eyed and exuberant. They had nearly nothing in common, except for their shared love of classic literature. And while it wasn't the world's most wholesome friendship, they were very close as they got older. The two confessed their feelings for each other in junior year and eventually started dating. Even when they went off to college, they never forgot each other, and soon, Morrigan proposed to Dorian, since she knew that he wanted to do it himself but was too nervous. He accepted, and the two got married a few months later. They soon moved into a Victorian house that looked like something straight out of the 19th century.

One fateful day and an accidental meeting later, two lonely kids became inseparable.
Starving and on the streets after their parents kicked them out, a sixteen year old Onyx tried to shoplift some food. In the store with some of her school friends, Rosy watched as an employee confronted Onyx. Stepping in at the last minute, Rosy covered for them and paid for everything.
Since that day, Onyx and Rosy fell in love, became high school sweethearts, separated when Rosy went off to college on the other side of the country, and got back together after she graduated.

Peter and Rozz
Peter never should've met Rozz. He was supposed to stay home and study for his British literature test, get one step closer to his English degree. But his best friend insisted that was no way to spend Halloween, and before he knew it, Peter was in the car on the way to his first goth show. Peter could tell you everything about Gothic lit, but goth music? That was another world entirely - Nik's world, not his. On the car ride over, Nik tried to ease his fears, played Bauhaus, Siouxise, the basics. He told him it'd be fun. Peter wasn't sure about that, but he did need to get out more. So he let Nik do his makeup ("nothing too crazy") and headed inside. Even with the makeup, Peter felt profoundly out of place - a sea of people like Nik, androgynous and heavily made up, swaying their hands like willow branches to brooding, strange music. He felt like an intruder. But still, it was interesting. Maybe even fun, once he had a few drinks in. The music still wasn't his thing, but it was nice when drunk - intriguing, but not overwhelming, with steady bass and easy rhythm. The dancing was barely that, anyone could do it. And when you got into it, it was nice, creating your own solitary world. He could get used to that. And so he barely noticed the pretty tradgoth girl drifting toward him as she danced until the music stopped and he went to find Nik. There stood Rozz: wild auburn curls hairsprayed to high heaven, hazel eyes peeking out of heavy black liner, so pale she hadn't even painted her face. She was beautiful, and Peter could hardly speak when she asked for his number. Now that college is over, they've gotten married and moved into a beautiful Victorian home - the perfect middle ground between their two styles. Peter's never been happier to fail a test.
