{ crystal reed / female } Did you see { avery frost }, the { thirty-two } year old { kindergarten teacher }. she is said to be { maternal, intellectual, and humorous } but also { cynical, reserved, and strong-willed }. they are known around chicago as the { cuddle bug }!!. (sunny, 23, gmt-5).

Now, as far as I’m concerned… My name is Sunny. I’m twenty-three and abide by she/her pronouns. I live in the eastern standard timezone and absolutely adore anything Ron Swanson, Vikings, Travis Fimmel and lately, Knightfall. I tried to get into Legion and lemme just say that I don’t envy people with epilepsy that tried to watch that. It gave me a headache and that’s not even counting the twists and turns in the very first episode. I felt utterly lost and while I got through it, I didn’t know what the hell was up or down. While I do enjoy grittier shows, I have to understand just what in the hell is going on.

As far as Avery is concerned, she’s a total doll, albeit a bit… Shall we say, jaded. She’s lived in Chicago her whole life and didn’t even leave the city for college. She’s worked as a kindergarten teacher for the past ten years, and she absolutely loves what she does. She’s the sort of person you can count on to be your shoulder to cry on and not have to worry about her blabbing to everyone within earshot. She’s a sweetheart but like I said, she does have her fair share of problems. On the surface, she seems to lead a pretty charmed life but on the inside, it’s anything but. She’s open for pretty much everything and anything and if you’re not sure, feel free to ask.

enemy/(ies)

past romantic attachment(s)

Hello! Some things about Joanna:

 She is the daughter of Israeli immigrants which once caused her to go through an identity crisis during her teen years. She grew up outside Chicago but lived in Washington D.C. after graduation, where she worked and lived until she was transferred back to her hometown.

 She is a type 5 on the enneagram and VERY justice driven, which is one of the inspirations for her going into the FBI

 Her two favorite drinks are London Fog Lattes (which she describes as a cuddle in a cup) and Dirty Chai Lattes.

She has always had a strong sense of right and wrong, though it has been her view of it which makes her come off very stubborn in her arguments.

Her religious views are not concrete but she believes there is Someone out there and a reason for mankind. 

Whenever she is stressed, you can find her baking or going for a hike.

She has a love for podcasts, her cat Eliana, her parents, and poetry.

Joanna gets frustrated by violence and injustice and she can often be stressed over assignments at work that she can’t crack. When this is the case, she become obsessive over the evidence until she can figure it out.

In a positive light she is very compassionate and dedicated but in a negative she is overly self-critical and highstrung.

More about Andi:

Andi grew up in a small town in Missouri that was not at all accepting of LGBTQ. 

He had to hide who he was until college when he finally got a job in an LGBTQ bar, where he got good mentorship and relationships. It was his first time trying drag. 

Drag became the only way he could express his bigender feelings. His female persona of Shaylea is where he s more comfortable. 

He grew up in the club becoming regionally famous in the underground circles. He developed a relationship with a patron who ended up being abusive and outing him around his home town. 

He was chased out of his hometown by his parents, friends and other family.

Now he continues to try to keep his two lives separate, afraid he will have to leave Chicago if he is found out. 

Goes by HE/HIM/HIS when he is not in the drag club where he works. 

3 fun facts:

He is an excellent seamstress. 

He has accepted money for hookups. 

When he wears his favorite platform heels, he is seven feet tall. 

Hi, hi!! My name is Anna and I’ll be playing Raphael! So, um, I really suck at intro posts and stuff and you’ll soon find out that I tend to ramble on end and lose track of what I’m saying when trying to plot or just talk in general. But still hit me up for plots, I’d love them!! ANYWAYS, onto my child here. 

Raphael is very organized and neat. He likes for everything to have a place and for everything to be in it’s place. That kinda went a bit downhill when his younger brother moved in with his little girl, so he’s mellowed on it slightly but still be frequently cleaning up. 

He has always had a passion for cooking since he started helping out his mother in the kitchen when he was younger. Finding that it relaxes him when all he has to think about what combinations would work best together to make a delicious dish for someone to enjoy. 

He’s a sous chef at a pretty well known gourmet restaurant and is planning to one day venture out and open his own restaurant when he thinks he’s ready. 

He’s very protective of those he cares about, sometimes over-protective. Especially his younger brother Gaspard and his niece Annabelle. When it comes to either of them or his loved ones being threatened or messed with, he gets very aggressive and would not hesitate to go to punches. 

GENERAL   —   “ NEED TO KNOW ” .

tw: ab*rtion, money laundering, infidelity

for as long as she can remember, adriana’s lived a rather affluent lifestyle. in her prime, her mother was a brazilian supermodel while her father owned a luxury sports car dealership. when they moved to chicago back in 1998, adriana was just a baby. while her older sister was two going on three.

since then, her father’s business has turned into a front for money laundering unbeknownst to adriana and her older sister.

they’ve been handed everything they could ever want on a silver platter which has led both girls to become extremely spoiled and accustomed to their lavish lifestyles.

when adriana was 15, she got pregnant with her then boyfriend. knowing how her father would react, adriana confided in only her mother and what her father thought was a month-long school trip was actually a trip to san fran where she got an ab*rtion and therapy treatment for said-ab*rtion prior to returning home.

it was that reckless mistake and the loss of her child that eventually spurred adriana to go into med school. she wanted to find a way to appease her guilt and help others by atoning for her sins. thus, she worked her way up to becoming a physician assistant, much to her father’s dismay. if he had things his way, his daughters would never work and rely solely on him or their future spouses.

adriana’s always had a bit of a wild streak. unlike her sister, she has a habit of rebelling against her father’s wishes and actively does things to prove to herself, she is her own individual apart from her family’s corrupted ties.

as a result, a few months ago, adriana slept with her sister’s fiance just days before the two were scheduled to walk down the aisle. when her sister found out, all hell broke loose and the girls were forced to separate. since then, adriana has yet to apologize and stubbornly refuses to admit she’s done anything wrong despite knowing in her heart of hearts that it was a mean and vicious thing to do to someone who has only ever loved and cherished her.

there’s many things in her life, adriana regrets. yet she has a hard time admitting when she’s wrong. it’s probably her worst toxic trait, that still exists to this day.
