I’m gonna put a spell on you ||

Never one to go by what was ‘normal’. She would run off in stores and stare at the Halloween costumes and beg her parents for spooky decorations for her room. Halloween was her time to shine and there was no holding back. Muffy was often made fun of in school for wearing darker clothes and carrying around a tarot card deck. But this never bothered her any. Shrugging it off as insecurity, she was the first one to sneak off to a cemetery growing up and just lay and stare at the moon. She studied the phases of the moon and would bring a bowl of sweet milk to a meadow or field to call fae and welcome them as her friend. By high school, Muffy had little to no friends and was called the weird kid that no one wanted to be friends with. But this never stopped her from being herself. As a matter of fact, her senior year she would charge people for tarot readings and this was how she met two girls who were just like her.

Kimberly was the first to approach her. She was a confident girl who rivaled her in her own way. She told her that she admired her individualism and her style. Within a week she was introduced to Sally, a girl who was cool and calm and collected. She and Kimberly were best friends and were forming a band called the Hex Girls. They said they needed a drummer and asked if she knew how. While Muffy had no idea how to play, she knew rhythm and taught herself over the span of a month. After that, the three girls were inseparable. Even though they often got in fights and Muffy would frequently threaten to quit the band. But within the day she would feel awful and return to her friends. Remembering that it was them that has always been there. After graduation, the trio remained just as close and gained infamy quickly with their catchy beats and unique style. They went of tour and it was there in Oakhaven where Muffy began to wonder about why they were brought there.

It turned out that Sally was originally from Oakhaven and they were part of a much bigger scheme than they were aware of. Muffy was too curious for her own good and when she discovered why they were there....She peaced out. Excusing herself for a “family emergency” and instead found herself on the wrong flight. Leaving her in a new city where even worse things were happening While she tries her best to stay out of harms way and out of the impending war... Muffy knows that in her heart of hearts she sides with one side more than the other. But who knows where this path will take her.

OPEN || TAKEN

You married me, she’s the other woman || 

Young and dumb and hopelessly in love. Even as child her parents couldn’t thwart her efforts to find her prince charming. With all the money in the world to ask for, it wasn’t hard to find suitors. Emily’s family was ridiculously wealthy and by definition new money. While most were frowning upon her and her family for coming into money by inheritance that didn’t mean that their sons weren’t attracted to the sweet and beautiful Emily. Her parents were a flexible pair who encouraged their daughter to go out and experience life in any way she could. She went on many dates in her time and often had a boyfriend on her arm. Though it never lasted long as she would soon come to find that her beau had been unfaithful. Young and dumb, she would run home and cry herself to sleep. But then she would turn around and as soon as they apologized Emily would welcome them back with open arms.

But then there was him. Barkis Bittern was an older man who knew what he wanted. Unfortunately, what he wanted wasn’t her. It was her money. He was broke and had a filthy habit of spending money where it wasn’t needed. He was suave and sophisticated and swept Emily off her feet in a matter of minutes. But when she brought him home to meet her parents they were less than accepting. Especially since they were already engaged and Barkis was asking for her hand in marriage. Her father said no and told her that while he was happy she was happy that he would rather see her with a man that wasn’t easily ten years her senior. Emiily was heartbroken. The two were determined to be wed and he told her that he would marry her with or without her father’s approval. Sneaking away her mother’s wedding dress, she ran out in the middle of the night and waited for him by their agreed upon meeting place.

She waited...and waited....and waited. Until it struck midnight and there was a shadow behind her. Her heart started hammering with anticipation but only until she turned around. It was Barkis but he wasn’t there to marry her. Instead he killed her and left her there to be found. Emily waited there in the depths of the Underworld of her realm where she vowed to wait there until someone asked for her hand and meant it. A decade later a young man named Victor came practicing his vows. But he didn’t know that when he had placed his ring that it wasn’t a tree; it was Emily’s hand. She was ecstatic. But he was frightened and tricked her into allowing him to go back to the living world so he could talk to his parents. Victor did not want to talk to his parents. Now, Emily traveled to the living world where she can hunt him down and that led her to Portus Cale.

Based on Aggie from ParaNorman

OPEN || TAKEN

I wanted everyone to see how rotten they were ||

As a child she was raised by a single mother. Her mother worked several jobs trying to keep her child taken care of. But as a result she was hardly around. Leaving Aggie to fend for herself more often then not. School was a walk in the park academically. But socially, she was ostracized. Ridiculed for how different she was in a time where difference was what made you...well, different. Everyone treated the poor girl like and outsider and pushed her around. Bullying was an all day every day thing. Kids would follow her home and harass her. Come time for Halloween her house was the biggest target. Everyone knew she was different and no one liked it. Being different was frowned upon in her city. Her mother raised her to be Pagan and while all they really did was the solstice rituals it was a big no no where they lived.

One day it turned from just kids to even the parents. Her school went as far as holding a PTSA meeting about her and what to do with her. They came to an agreement that they were going to be rid of the different for good. Cornering the quiet and sweet Aggie and hissing profanities at her. They called her a witch and a nuisance. Telling her to go away and be with her own kind. They called her the devil and spat at her. The poor girl was so frustrated and scared that her power surged and broke free of her. Being that her magic was heavily linked to her emotions made them hard to control. It was then that they began to close in on her and pulled out ropes to restrain her. Aggie was scared and declared that every year on the anniversary of this night that the dead would rise and plague the city for their wrong doings.

The rest you could guess. Though one night when her curse came to life... A boy by the name of Norman came to her resting place and woke her. While she had no memory of who she or what had happened she did know one thing and that was that she was angry. Norman read from a story book and slowly she began to remember. Her name was Aggie and she was harshly and wrongly prosecuted. She was sad and alone and all she wanted was her mom. But her mother had long since passed and instead, she asked Norman where she would go from here. He told her that it was up to her and as he continued to read from the book, Aggie felt alive again. As her life was restored, she knew where she was going. She was to seek someone who could help her contain her magic and that led her straight to Portus Cale.

I just want my mommy ||

Norman-->”I burnt that book to dust, now I don’t have to hear that story ever again!”

He was her savior. Someone who understood being mocked and tormented by his peers. Aggie sees him as a close friend.

Like sin in a suit ||

tw: neglect, murder, mental illness, suicide mention

From the moment that she was born she was nothing more than a ghost. It was like once the newness of having a newborn had worn off her parents up and forgot she was even alive. No matter how much she screamed or cried they did nothing but ignored her. Her name was Zoe and she was a no one. Ceased to exist in the eyes of her peers and had always been that way. By the time she reached the age of ten, it was nothing new. She was used to it. Even her teachers ignored her. While she was severely depressed it went unnoticed and the only one who even took action was her neighbor who had  found her passed out in the bathroom. After that, Zoe spent some time in a hospital and pledged that she wasn’t going to  do it again. Though all her doctors knew that it was a lie. Nothing more than a saying she had to use to get back home where she was ignored.

It became a suspicion of hers that she liked it like that. Mostly ghostly, she could flit in and out of the house whenever she wanted without being reprimanded. Life was good for the most part. Zoe started going out at night when she felt the most comfortable. Drinking and getting high and living her best life. But there came one night when she came toe to toe with the absolute worst person she could. While she may have been warned to keep her mouth shut, Zoe only laughed. She thought her ghostliness was somewhat of a super hero talent. Picking a fight with the man she was told not to handle and on that same night he followed her in a dark alleyway. She should have been scared. She should have ran. But Zoe only laughed and smiled. Not because she was being feisty. But because for once in her life she had been noticed. She felt elated.

Dead as a doornail, she awoke in another sort of realm. She knew it was still her realm. Just...different. Zoe wandered around until she found a way to come to be tangible to others. Flitting through death the same way she had in life. Only this time, she wasn’t Zoe. She was going by her street name; Zero. One night she came upon a young boy named Jack. He could see her and hear her and it was then that she decided that she liked being noticed instead of ignored. Which was why she stuck around him as he grew older. When the time came and he moved realms... Well, so did she. How could she let go?

Wicked and lovely ||

Jack Skellington-->Best of friends

He’s like a brother to her at this point. Not wanting to leave his side and willing to do anything for him.

OPEN || TAKEN

Give me my scarf back! ||

Ever since a young age Barbie knew she was meant for big things. As only a baby she was starring in diapers commercials and baby’s shampoos. Her mother turned out to be the best manager the little girl could have, always having her interests at heart, and soon enough she was already in movies and soup operas. For Barbara, all those jobs were just a pretend play, where she would be someone else. Using her chosen profession to be a role model for other girls, Barbie made sure to accept roles where she could be everything, from a soccer player to an aspiring singer on her movies. Having the perfect life at such a young age could certainly mold a child into a spoiled rotten personality, but little Barbara remained simple at her heart, with strong values of friendship and equality.

Growing up she started to develop more interest in fashion, and with time designed her own collection of clothes named Life in Plastic, her pieces represented all forma and shapes of women, not having anything to do with the thin dictatorship other labels would have, and also in pink. As only a teenager Carbara was shooting a new movie when the director started to play moves on her, saying she would get more camera time in the production. The young girl was disgusted, especially when she came in public to tell the world what had happened to her, but it’s a men’s world, and no one gave her credits or believed in her accusations. Ever since the young lady made her life goal to help other women and would give TED talks about sexism and gender equality from her own experience.

But she never gave up on acting, which is her true passion, the blonde was invited to shoot a new movie on a town named Portus Cale and was happy to head to there. She couldn’t possibly know what her future would present her, the town was in a middle of a civil war, and things about she couldn’t understand much was being saying, about other worlds and magic. Barbie remained neutral for the sake of her new relationship with Ken, but having such a pure heart and gentle soul, she knows that sooner or later she’ll have to take the opposite side of what Ken has chosen.

What is going on? What are you doing to my friends? ||

Molly Davis —> Well... Molly and I have been growing apart for years.

Molly was Barbie’s best friend when the girls were growing up, she even invited her to be her assistant and the two girls even designed clothes together for her label, but Molly changed and Barbie doesn’t recognize her anymore.

Kenneth Carson —> Oh I love you Ken!

When Barbie met him it was like sparks flying around them, he was everything she wanted in a man, but with time she started to find secrets about him, she wants to make things work between the two, but is not certain that can be done anymore.

Chelsea Roberts —> Sister dear

My ghost where’d you go ||

TW: drug mention, murder

A child of circumstance, they were never truly given the life they deserved. They were conceived when their parents were young and dumb. A mother that was more interested in partying and living her life than raising the child she had brought into this world. While their father loved them whole heartedly. Dropping out of high school and picking up two or three jobs to make ends meet, support his child and the woman he loved’s drug habit. When they were only three years old their mother was found overdosed on their couch. Phantasma may not have been old enough to do much about it but they were old enough to remember seeing their mother’s body laying there lifeless.

Now rendered a single father he had no choice but to leave Phantasma in the hands of family and friends while he worked. It wasn’t so bad for the young child. They would often speak to “spirits” that they found around the property of their grandparents. That was when they met him. Young and dumb and still yearning for the love that their mother never gave them and the attention their father was unable to provide. At the tender age of sixteen he convinced Phantasma to runaway with him and elope. Of course, they were over the moon for this idea and agreed without a moments hesitation. Unfortunately, while their feelings and motives were pure and true but his were neither. The second night they were in their motel room he shoved a pillow over their face and left the second their hand fell limp. 

They were a smart kid, however, and left their father a note telling him that they were leaving to elope. Now frantic, their father followed the paper trail that the boy had left and found Phantasma unconscious. Taking them to the nearest hospital they were able to revive them just in time. Though this left them with a new sort of...ability. Now they can flit to and from a ghost like form at will and even at random moments. Not knowing how to handle his child’s new ability he sent Phantasma to Miss Grimwood’s where they met their newfound sisters. Forming a strong bond with the oldest of the group: Elsie. But things were not so cool in paradise as a witch tried to use the group of children’s abilities for their own selfish ways.

Luckily, a boy and his brother (named Scooby and Shaggy) were able to help them break free of the brainwashing. Though with that threat gone Phantasma decided to follow their sister’s footsteps and travel to another realm to further their education. Though upon arrival they were unaware that the city was soon to be in war and that leaves Phantasma unsure of where they need to be.

It’s really off the wall ||

With the two forming a close bond, it makes Phantasma feel a little uneasy about themselves. But they still love the two girls nonetheless.
