#tgoprompt

What are their worst habits? She represses a lot. So much so that she doesn’t deal with things until she blows up and has no choice but to face it. // She sleeps around and it’s gone beyond her simply being unable to express affection in any other way. It’s how she gets validation. How she avoids feelings and situations. It’s something that she’s come to rely on because, somehow, it makes her feel good, wanted and simply helps her forget for a little while. And she’ll often take someone not responding to her advances as a personal slight against her.

Do they hide their emotions or express them openly? Santana does her best to hide her emotions although that becomes a difficult task when she feels something intensely -- like anger.

Who was their first crush? She would never admit it but she had a bit of a crush on Puck when they first met. It’s something that she’s never spoken about, not even to Bree or Puck himself.

Describe their first kiss. They were at a friend’s 9th birthday party when little Michael Davidson took a dare to kiss Santana. He pulled her aside and talked to her for a little bit. When she was in the middle of a sentence, he leaned in and gave her a peck on the lips. A few of the kids nearby that witnessed the event ‘ooh’ed and laughed. None of them really expected Santana to react the way she did -- with a fat lip, Michael fighting off tears, and a furious Santana. // Her first real kiss wouldn’t come until years later where it all happened on her terms and she was the one to make the first move.

Last thing they’ve lied about? Her mother found a wad of cash tucked away in Santana’s jacket, not for the first time and confronted her about it, going so far as to ask if Santana was stripping for the cash. She wasn’t too far off the mark since some of it had come from her online activities but mostly it was money from the Stop. It took her ten minutes of assurances that the money came from waitressing, babysitting jobs, and that some of it came from her simply tucking away a few dollars every now and then.

What’s their outlook on life? Dim. She’s had to witness a lot in her 18 years of life and, because of that, it’s difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel, so to speak. She doesn’t see any hope for herself or the city and she can't even bring herself to try because she knows it’ll only lead to disappointment. The most she can hope for is to be able to tolerate what the future holds for her.

Biggest insecurity? That she’s not enough. Not strong enough to protect her little brother. Not good enough to be loved. Not smart enough to have a future that won’t end in an unplanned pregnancy and living paycheck to paycheck.

Greatest achievement? As lame as it may sound to a lot of people, Santana is extremely proud of having been chosen as captain of the Cheerios. She worked her ass off because, despite what many may think, she actually does enjoy it. And to have Sue, who has made her love of her Social cheerleaders abundantly clear, pick her above the rest of them fills her with a sense of pride.

What do they fear? Snakes. // That she’ll end up like every other woman in the Southside, with a shitty life and no way out.

When was the last time they’ve cried? After Sebastian managed to convince her to take her clothes off for him only to have him walk out on her, appearing disgusted. She cried as she pulled her shirt back on after she was sure that Sebastian wouldn’t be coming back. She’d never felt more humiliated. Not even after her job as a webcam girl was exposed to the whole school. // She almost cried after Marley was Carrie’d at the Bash but she felt more disgusted than she did sad about that situation.

Most embarrassing moment? Having fliers passed around at school, advertising her online activities and implying that she’d exchange sexual favors for money.

Do they have any scars? Santana has a scar on her palm from an incident with a broken window and barely-there scars on her knees from her childhood.

What about tattoos? She doesn’t have any tattoos yet but she plans on getting one sooner or later.

Aesthetic? During school hours, Santana is rarely seen without her Cheerios uniform. Out of the uniform, she’s your typical Greaser. She’ll wear jeans (dark wash) with a low cut top that accentuates her cleavage. Short skirts and skin-tight dresses. While she does own two denim jackets, she is almost never found without her leather jacket. She wears it with everything, wears it with pride. Her hair is typically worn down in loose waves. Her everyday make-up is minimal with only some eyeliner to accentuate her eyes and a little something on her lips -- if not sporting a red lip, her lips are left nude and are perfectly glossed.

HOME LIFE

Who are their parents? (Ideal FCs can be included here) Maribel Lopez Gloria Estefan, Gabriel Lopez Yancey Arias

Do they have any siblings? A little brother named Dylan, after her father’s love of Bob Dylan.

Do they have any pets? They don’t but that works out just fine because, with a baby in the house, there’s enough to deal with without adding a pet to take care of.

Are they in charge of any household duties? (Paying bills, cooking, doing chores) Santana does chores and helps pay bills. She’ll cook if necessary but, for the most part, she prefers to do the eating than the actual preparation of the food.

What is their relationship like with their family? Santana and her mother are close -- as close as she’ll allow herself to get. She knows that she could tell Maribel almost anything and she’ll still be loved, but it’s her desire not to completely disappoint her mother that keeps her telling lies about where she goes and where the money she has comes from. They co-parent little Dylan so they’ve come to really lean on each other. This is a relationship that Santana would never wish to lose. // Santana and her grandmother used to be so close but things started to change as she grew older. She tells herself it’s because of all the lying that she and Alma grew distant but that’s not true. If she’s honest then she’ll admit that she started to pull away from her grandmother once she realized that she was attracted to women. She loves her grandmother so much but if she were to find out about Santana’s sexuality then she’d disown her own grandchild in an instant. And that would kill Santana.

Earliest memory of their family? Being around four years old, sitting on her father’s lap with her little hands on the steering wheel. The car was barely moving but it didn’t change how exhilarating it was for her to feel like she was actually driving. What she remembers most, though, is the sound of her father’s voice as he sung along with the radio and his laughter at whatever silly thing she may have said.

The best memory with their family? While her parents were legally married before she was born, she was six when they decided to renew their vows and have a church wedding. She remembers how happy her grandmother was to have her son finally be married in the eyes of God. She remembers how beautiful her mom looked and how pretty her own dress was. She remembers laughing with her mom and dad and dancing on his feet.

What about the worst? Standing at the graveyard, watching her father’s casket be lowered into the ground. Her grandmother was openly weeping and her hand was linked with that of her mother. They hadn’t stopped touching since they arrived, quietly drawing strength from one another.

Describe their home. It’s a simple four bedroom home. The place is decorated with a combination of her mother’s knick-knacks, pictures of family, and religious objects of her grandmother’s (statute of the Virgin Mary and crucifixes). There is no particular color scheme because it’s a mix of everything as things such as the couch and armchair were bought more based on their functionality and comfort than looks. Despite the mix and match feel to everything, it works. With Dylan around, there is no room that doesn’t have at least one baby object in it, from his toys scattered around the living room and a blankie tossed over the arm of the couch to his little rubber duckie in the bathroom. 

What does their room look like? Santana tries to keep things simple in her room. She sticks to neutral tones with the occasional splash of red here and there. Her bed is soft and, by far, the biggest thing in her room, taking up most of the space. She has a small closet and a dresser where her clothes are typically tucked away into though it’s not uncommon for her to have few articles of clothing on top of the dresser or on the small desk tucked away in a corner of her room. The desk has a lamp and just enough space for her to work with but it’s rarely more than just another flat surface for her to place her belongings on as she tends to sit on her bed while doing her school work. And the desk chair? It’s where she hangs up her leather jacket every time she comes home (with another, old jacket tucked away in the back of her closet). She’s not one for knick-knacks though she does have one or two that her mother gave her. Mostly, she has pictures. By her bedside, she has a picture of Dylan and her mom and another of herself and her father. On her walls, she’s forgone posters, instead choosing to tape up pictures (with a few framed) that she’s collected over the years -- pictures of the lot and her friends, of her cheering and some childhood pictures.

LIMA

What do they love about Lima? The Greasers. Sometimes Santana thinks that she’s made it as long as she has because she has them. Other times they’re just good people to be around. But, mostly, they’re her family.

What do they hate about it? The entire Northside.

When was the first time they realized that not all Lima residents were the same? It wasn’t just one incident that made her realize the truth. She was five and in kindergarten. It started with some teasing of her name and that she could handle. There weren’t that many Santanas running around, after all. But it was what came after that began to open her eyes. The jokes involving her clothes, her mother’s junky old car that she’d pick her up in. Noticing the stark differences between herself and the Socials. It was during that time that she was first called a Greaser. And, maybe, it was that day that changed her. It was as though she were officially branded and she could no longer be sweet and naive.

Do they see any hope for change? Not at all.

Is Lima ‘home’ or do they have plans to leave? Santana doesn’t think that the city, as a whole, would ever truly feel like home, yet she doesn’t see herself ever leaving.

What is their favorite place in Lima? The Lot is like a second home to her. It’s the one place that she doesn’t have to worry about Socials ruining. The one place that she could just be herself and have that be enough. 

What are their worst habits? Brody spends more time than even he is willing to admit admiring his own body. And there is plenty to admire. He doesn’t always think before he speaks and sometimes he needs a good fight just to get him through the day.

Do they hide their emotions or express them openly? It varies, depending on the emotion. His disdain towards Greasers he’ll openly express but he rapidly hides any emotion that would leave him feeling vulnerable.

Who was their first crush? He doesn’t remember her full name, simply remembers that everyone called her Nessa. She was pretty and blonde and gave him a kiss on the cheek every day for a week. Then her family up and moved.

Describe their first kiss. He was in first grade and she was a grade or two older. He doesn’t remember how it came up initially but they both wanted to see what it was like. So they pressed their lips together and that was going to be all. Until she decided to slip him the tongue, something that she’d heard and seen from spying on her big sister. They kissed as often as they could, for as long as they could. Up until the day that they were caught by a teacher and his father was called into school. He could have sworn as they were leaving that his father was smiling. 

Last thing they’ve lied about? It wasn’t a lie, exactly. He tried not to lie to his friends. So he was with a woman that night. She did have an amazing body and a beautiful face. She was a wildcat in bed. Even taught him a thing or two. What he failed to mention was that she was probably older than their mothers and he walked out of that hotel room with a new wad of cash in his pocket.

What’s their outlook on life? Everything is wonderful when you’re rich and handsome.

Biggest insecurity? That all of this work he’s put into himself would have been for nothing. That he won’t be able to protect the ones he cares about. That he’ll fail them like he failed his mother.

Greatest achievement? So far? His body. It’s a work of art in his eyes.

What do they fear? Failure.

When was the last time they’ve cried? His mother’s funeral. He hasn’t allowed himself to really cry since.

Most embarrassing moment? His father thinks Brody doesn’t speak of the incident because he’s traumatized. In reality, Brody’s embarrassed. He’s ashamed that he froze when those gunmen pulled out that gun and shot his mother. It’s that shame and guilt that keeps him silent.

Do they have any scars? None but if he continues to put his body through so much in the ring that may change.

What about tattoos? None and he has no plans to get any. No ink is marring his perfect flesh.

Aesthetic? Brody is your typical Social. He is smartly dressed at all times and rarely ever sports anything more than light stubble along his chin and jaw. While he’s not opposed to them he prefers not to wear a blazer as they always appear to be a little tight in the bicep area, something that he’s rather pleased about. He wears cologne but only when the time calls for it, such as a special event or when he’s escorting. The rest of the time he prefers just the clean scent of his soap.

HOME LIFE

Who are their parents? Nathaniel Weston and Isabella Montgomery-Weston.

Do they have any siblings? No, and that’s just fine with him.

Do they have any pets? His mother had bought him a puppy when he was still practically a baby. He grew up with the dog. Unfortunately, it passed away not long after his mother did.

Are they in charge of any household duties? He has servants to do the chores and cooking. His father is in charge of the financial aspect of things so he’s free of those types of responsibilities.

What is their relationship like with their family? He admires his father and they get along well. That is when Nathaniel manages to make some time to spend with his son.

Earliest memory of their family? He was playing with Scout, his dog, in the backyard. And after the fifth time being knocked over, he looked up, laughing, to spot his parents nearby. They weren’t paying him any attention. They were whispering to each other, smiling and then they kissed. It was the first time that Brody ever saw his parents look like they were in love.

The best memory with their family? His parents had been so busy with their lives that they forgot to actually take some time to plan his tenth birthday. By the time they realized their mistake it was a little too late and they decided to make it up to him by taking that Friday off. The three of them stayed in, ordered out, watched movies and played every game that Brody wanted to play. It was the best birthday and present he could have gotten.

What about the worst? [TW: Blood, Death] The gunmen ran off after the shot was fired. It was almost as though they hadn’t meant to shoot that gun but they did. And as they fleed Brody stood there, watching his mother as she struggled to breath. He fell to his knees beside her, hands hovering over her like he wanted to do something but didn’t know what. He couldn’t do anything but watch her bleed out, the life slowly draining from her eyes.

Describe their home. Brody would call it modest, but it’s a large, two-story home. It’s a seven-bedroom home, five and a half baths. The main home is decorated in neutral tones while each individual guest bedroom is decorated in rich browns and reds or shades of green. There’s a formal dining room, formal sitting room, foyer, den, entertainment room (a small theater-like room for movies) among others. And a large swimming pool in the extensive backyard.

What does their room look like? Their room is decorated in steel blue and gray. His bed is large and comfortable. There’s a state of the art sound system and an entertainment. There’s a desk, neatly and simply kept with a sleek lamp and a picture frame containing an old image of himself as an infant in his mother’s arms being the only thing, besides his school books, to lay on the desk’s top. He isn’t one for posters or a multitude of pictures so he simply has shelves on his wall containing books that he’s read or plans to read. He has a walk-in closet and his own personal bathroom with a steam shower and a jacuzzi tub to soak his sore muscles in. On his bedside table, there’s a picture of his mother smiling. The sentimental part of him wants it there, wants to be able to remember him like that, with a smile.

LIMA

What do they love about Lima? The people. More specifically, the Socials that he’s met and befriended. And the fact that his family owns a third of the Northside is another thing to love.

What do they hate about it? The Greasers.

When was the first time they realized that not all Lima residents were the same? He’s always known, in a way. He was raised with the belief that he’s better than most. So learning upon entering elementary school that there was such a thing as Greasers, wasn’t a big shock to him.

Do they see any hope for change? Not as long as Greasers exist.

Is Lima ‘home’ or do they have plans to leave? Lima’s home. It’s where the Westons belong. It’s where they’ve made their name.

What is their favorite place in Lima? His bedroom. It’s the one place where he can just be. Where he can let out any and all negativity. Where he can mourn his mother. It’s where he can allow himself to be vulnerable. It’s his safe space.

How do you feel about carrying the title of a Social/Greaser?

“To be identified as Social means to be a part of the Elite. A Social has class and grace. A Social is the best of the best. So how does it feel to be amazing? Fantastic.”

What’s your view on the growing rivalry between the Greasers and the Socials?

“Oh, boo-hoo. So we don’t get along. Big deal. Greasers and Socials were never meant to be more than this. Rivals.”

How do you feel about the upcoming election; are you in support of Alexandre Smythe or Burt Hummel?

“It should come as no surprise that I will be voting for the honorable Alexandre Smythe. He has great plans for this city and Iook forward to the day that I see them come to fruition.”

What are your opinions on the slowly growing support for a Greaser candidate and his desire to put a halt to current Mayor Smythe’s petition to build Dalton Academy which would only further segregate the masses?

What are their worst habits? Jake has a bad habit of not listening 

Do they hide their emotions or express them openly? A little bit of both. He has trouble keeping his emotions hidden for long especially when he’s really pissed but for the most part, Jake wears his heart on his sleeve.

Who was their first crush? Jake claims he doesn’t do crushes since he never really understood them or had much of one, but he did enjoy hanging around Santana at lot

Describe their first kiss. She was older and he had no idea what he was doing but it wasn’t as awkward as he thought it would be.

Last thing they’ve lied about? That he was done hanging out with his old friends

What’s their outlook on life? Life sucks but sometimes you meet people and they make it suck less

Biggest insecurity? Inability to be honest and vulnerable in a relationship (Struggle with emotional intimacy)

Greatest achievement? Building his own bike from parts found at a junkyard when he was younger. He doesn’t ride the old heap of junk anymore, but it does still sit in the attic. Sometimes he goes up to dust it and play with the horn.

What do they fear? Everything falling out from underneath him. Occasionally he’ll have a fear of becoming a Greaser again.

When was the last time they’ve cried? During the school lockdown

Most embarrassing moment? Nothing will ever top the time then Jake’s mom sat him down to have “the talk” despite the fact that he really didn’t need it

Do they have any scars? He has a small pink scar on his lower back where he got stabbed in a fight and a long white scar on the palm of his hand from breaking a bottle in his hand.

What about tattoos? Jake has the Star of David on his left shoulder and a medium sized wolf head on the other

Aesthetic? “Bad boy who loves fast cars.” t-shirt and jeans and whatever shoes fit him at the time. Leather jacket or flannel. Earbuds in ear/Headphones around his neck and something slung over his shoulders. Never seen without his scooter under his feet or folded up in his hand. Detention is his second home. “Baby Soc Puckerman” Button up with the first two buttons undone and slacks. Dress shoes. Blazer with the sleeves rolled up. Never caught with his scooter. Usually hangs out at the gym or by his locker.

HOME LIFE

Who are their parents? (Ideal FCs can be included here)  Aisha Elizabeth Johnson. She kept her maiden name after marrying Jake’s stepdad but allows people to call her by her middle name to better fit in with the Socials. (FC: Aisha Tyler)

Do they have any siblings? The only siblings Jake is aware that he has are Puck and Sarah.

Do they have any pets? Jake used to keep an eye on a stray dog back in the Southside but that’s about it. He doesn’t really care to look after animals.

Are they in charge of any household duties? (Paying bills, cooking, doing chores) Even though he doesn’t have to, Jake cleans any part of the house he can and mows grass in backyard when he feels like it. Before they moved, Jake used to help him mom pay bills and put food on the table as best he could.

What is their relationship like with their family? Thanks to the divide between the North and the South, Jake’s relationship with Puck and Sarah is strained, but he still cares for them. He’s extremely close with and protective of his mom.

Earliest memory of their family? The earliest happiest memory of his family was when his dad showed up for two days during Hanukkah before having to go on a “business trip”

The best memory with their family? When Jake woke up on his tenth birthday and his mom told him she had the entire day off and they hung out all day.

What about the worst? Seeing his mom fall into her depression after ending things with Jake’s dad

Describe their home. (x) Jake hates the house only because it rubs him the wrong way; it doesn’t feel lived in enough. It looks cool but he hates how empty it is when he’s alone and he also hates that he can’t sneak out as easy anymore. Not that he has to.

What does their room look like? (x) Jake spends most of his time in his room if he’s not outside hanging out by the pool. He likes that it's on the other side of the house far from his mom’s room and that it reminds him of his old one. He keeps it messy by choice but when he gets unbelievably bored, he’ll clean up but always leaves his bed unmade no matter what.

LIMA

What do they love about Lima? Jake doesn’t love anything about Lima but he doesn’t totally hate the food

What do they hate about it? He hates the separation of the classes and how Greasers were treated. When he became a Social, he hated how both sides treated each other.

When was the first time they realized that not all Lima residents were the same? Jake knew people were different from a very young age but it wasn’t until he and his mom were given dirty looks and overheard snide comments on their way down the Strip.

Do they see any hope for change? He knows deep down that things won’t change for a long, long time no matter what happens, but he does still have some hope.

Is Lima ‘home’ or do they have plans to leave? Jake sees Lima as his home for now since he’s still in school and feels the need to keep an eye on his mom. He does have plans to leave he’s just unsure where he’s going or what he’ll do.

What is their favorite place in Lima? Ironically, he loves going to school. Not to learn or catch up on sleep lost throughout a normal day, but because it’s the one place where Greasers and Socials coexist albeit unwillingly.

What are their worst habits? Marley’s worst habits would have to be that she’s constantly trying to help everyone. Though she does it with the best intentions most of the time she comes off as being too over eager and nosey.

Do they hide their emotions or express them openly? A mix of both, sometimes she’s a little too open about expressing how she feels. Other times it’s best that no one knows.

Who was their first crush? Simba, the lion.

Describe their first kiss. It was magical, the perfect mix of sweet and romantic with just a touch of movie magic. Though, it could have been because it was with Jake and she was so puppy eyes and puppy love and had actually had dreams about their first kiss.

Last thing they’ve lied about? Whether or not she’s actually okay.

What’s their outlook on life? Be nice to everyone because you don’t know what they are going through.

Biggest insecurity? Not being good enough, or feeling like she doesn’t deserve what she has. Her self image is very low as well.

Greatest achievement? The night her mom was working late and Marley made a full dinner all on her own when she was young.

What do they fear? Losing her mom, falling in love again,..The Socs.

When was the last time they’ve cried? The New Years Eve bash.

Most embarrassing moment?....The New Years Eve bash.

Do they have any scars? She has a scar on her forehead above her eyebrow, and a few on her legs from falling off her bike/climbing fences. 

What about tattoos? No tattoos but she has always wanted some.

Aesthetic? Marley’s style is very much comfort over style, well that and it’s what she can afford. A lot of second hand clothes, baggier sweaters, ripped jeans (not for the style), simple dresses, a few skirts. If she wears t-shirts they are usually white and any time she’s between a t-shirt and sweater she prefers to always have long sleeves, so she has something to play with. Make up wise she doesn’t wear any, and her hair is usually just brushed and down. Though sometimes she’ll add a braid or put it in a ponytail. 

HOME LIFE

Who are their parents? Millie Rose (Trisha Rae Stahl) & Vincent Steward (Robert Gant)

Do they have any siblings? No

Do they have any pets? No but she wishes. For a long time Marley used to bring home every animal she found (including frogs) hoping she could keep them.

Are they in charge of any household duties? She does all the chores and has started trying to cook more, her mother works two jobs so Marley figures she can do her best to actually help out and save her mom from having to do it when she gets home.

What is their relationship like with their family? She doesn’t really remember her father, nor does she want to. But her mom is her best friend and her hero. They have a fantastic, very trusting relationship and Marley knows she can go to her mom about anything.

Earliest memory of their family? Both of her parents taking her to the dinosaur museum. Though she doesn’t remember the day, she still has the stuffed animal she got.

The best memory with their family? Her favorite memory is the Christmas from when she was 12, though every Christmas is important to Marley. This one was extra special. She had gotten up first, (like always it’s Christmas after all!) and had surprised her mom with breakfast in bed and giving her mom her present. It wasn’t a lot,(cereal and a book of her favorite photos of them) but the look of surprise and happiness on her moms face was something Marley will never forget.

What about the worst? Waking up in the middle of the night to her parents screaming at each other was a typical night in the Rose house, but the night Marley woke up because the screaming turned violent and she had to get between her parents at a very young age, that was the worst memory.

Describe their home. It’s medium sized, with the bedrooms upstairs and the main floor containing the living room and kitchen. It’s cozy, in no way fancy and some of it might need some repairs. But it’s home. There isn’t a lot of nick nacks or art on the walls, though there is a fireplace that Marley has always been curious about but she isn’t sure if it would actually work or if the smoke would escape through the chimney or fill the entire house.

What does their room look like? It’s small but neat, with bookshelves lining the walls all filled to the brim. Her bed is a twin, with white sheets that have clouds on them. Her bed is also covered in blankets and her two stuffed animals. (Her dinosaur and teddy bear)

LIMA

What do they love about Lima? The parks, her friends.

What do they hate about it? The Socs, the narrowminded people.

When was the first time they realized that not all Lima residents were the same? The moment she moved there and was instantly getting snobby looks and hearing comments from people she had only first seen a few seconds earlier. Though Marley had been used to negative comments and bullies, she had never expected it right off the bat like what happened in Lima.

Do they see any hope for change? She tells herself that one day things will be better, and she does believe that it could be. Does she think it will happen though? No.

Is Lima ‘home’ or do they have plans to leave? Marley hopes to leave every single day, her biggest dream is to be able to run away and prove that where she came from doesn’t matter, it’s about who she is. But she does believe that home is where the heart is and right now that is with her mom.

What is their favorite place in Lima? The park by her house.

How do you feel about carrying the title of a Social/Greaser?

"It’s not a title, it’s a birthright. It’s what distinguishes you from the masses. Being a Social means you’re the creme de la creme, therefore this ‘title’ should always be worn with honor. I feel privileged to be considered a Social.”

What’s your view on the growing rivalry between the Greasers and the Socials?

“If by that you mean their growing hostility towards us, it’s despicable. How are we to blame for their miserable lives simply because we have the means to be more than they could ever dream of being?”

How do you feel about the upcoming election; are you in support of Alexandre Smythe or Burt Hummel?

“Alexandre Smythe is a wonderful man and a dear friend of my father. No other could do more for this city than he, so he will always have my full support.”

What are your opinions on the slowly growing support for a Greaser candidate and his desire to put a halt to current Mayor Smythe’s petition to build Dalton Academy which would only further segregate the masses?
