A link to character appearances made with art breeder and Piccrew:
THE STAR
Heidi Valentine |m|
21
Description: 5’9. Long limbs, littered with various bruises. Black, almost blue hair growing out to his collarbone, caramel skin and eyes a light brown. A dimple in his right cheek.
Heidi is the one who scouted you for his team, and to him, you are his muse.
People who loved him, called him…eccentric. People who hated him called him a raging lunatic. Either way, love him or hated him, you had to admit he was a living legend. His skill couldn’t be denied. At least, not in the figure skating world. He’d dominated the figure skating community at a world level, leaving a trail of gold medals in his wake. And yet, inexplicably, the day of his 20th birthday he’d retired. At 21 years old he’d already lived the life, figure skaters years older could only dream of. A life he was now offering to you, his muse.
Your notes: eccentric, chaotic, more than a little bit awkward, more than a little too excitable, and more than a little too eager to please; at times Heidi causes more problems than solutions
THE PERFECTIONIST
Sun Nari |nb|
20
Description: 6’3. Inky hair gathered in a small ponytail at their nape, aquiline/Roman nose. Big eyes and long lashes. They are long with knobby knees, and large hands.
It’s no secret they dislike you. After all, before you came along they were the one supposed to be scouted for the team Heidi was forming.
They will surpass you. They will do better than you, and they will never admit they watch videos of your skating at night with admiration. Never that.
Your notes: every time you run into them they start threatening to surpass you? Offered them a water and they told you your efforts to seduce them wouldn’t work, turned red and started stammering.
THE COMPETITION
Wisteria Florian |f|
21
Description: 5’6. Hair in dark braids, usually tied up in a high bun. Upturned eyes and a full mouth. She has a small tooth gap when she smiles.
Wisteria was already scouted to play in the olympics two years ago, when she was 19. She trains under the same coach as you, and yet she was the one that was chosen, straining your relationship with her.
She’s arrogant and makes no pretence about it, she’s also loyal, supportive and more protective than someone who’s supposed to be your natural competitor should have been.
Your notes: she gave you a tray of food and other self care products, with the note; for your health. Not that you’ll be able to surpass me, even in top condition. You’re currently unsure if it was an attempt at kindness or if you should be annoyed and seek revenge.
THE PRODIGY
Alexis Kimura |m|
20
Description: 6’0. Angular, upturned eyes. Dark hair, pale skin and pale lips. Sharp features that create an intimidating look.
Everyone knew about Alexis. Whe he was born he was already proclaimed the future of pro figure skating. After all, his mother was the famed figure skating icon, Suzuki Kimura, and from his skill to birthline, there was no doubt he’d be nothing short of a legend.
Your notes: a little emotionally stunted, more shy than he portrays, and with a good heart underneath, you think you could get along…if he stopped acting like socializing would give him a plague.
