Hey everyone! I just held Olivia Thirlby as Emily Perry, a twenty-two year old horse rancher and Rycade native. She graduated from Rycade High School in 2005 and attended Austin Community College, graduating in 2007 with an associate's in business management. The ranch she works and lives on, Yellow Rose Ranch, specializes in caring for and rehabilitating traumatized, injured, and sick horses. They also offer riding lessons and horse boarding. The place was started by her grandparents, Noah and Jessica Bartlett, and now Emily and her grandfather run it together. Her father left when she was three, and her mother passed away in a car accident when Emily was sixteen.

I'm still working out the finer points of her bio, but that's the basic gist of it. I'd love to get some connections for her, so that I can start fleshing her out and have her applied by adds on Monday!

She's the same age as my guy here and he's a Rycade native too. There are several characters in game this age that are natives. She could have known Sebastian in high school perhaps though he didn't have a whole slew of friends.

My other character is

joeybristol and she's 19 and recently come from Austin in search of her half brother. If you have any ideas or could use my characters for any connections, just let me know!

	That sounds great! Emily wasn't exactly Miss Popular, either, but I think they could have been outsiders together. She tends to deal better one on one than in groups, at least when it comes to people. Maybe the half-brother worked or works at Emily's ranch? It would be a reason for Joey to come there looking for him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Awesome, then they certainly could have been friends! Sebastian actually left after graduation and spent four years in NY but he's back now.

And the half brother is already a character in game. LOL Sorry. It would have been cool though. But they can always run into each other once your character comes along into play for some fun randomness. Joey is pretty spunky and...uh...yeah. LOL If Emily is quiet, I'm not sure how well they'll get along. Joey isn't mean, she's just blunt.

	Great! I'm sure Emily would have been happy to see him come back home. She doesn't have a whole lot of friends, and she needs people that are separate from the ranch. LOL, yeah, I noticed that after I posted my comment. But it will definitely be interesting to have Joey and Emily run into one another. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Awesome! Seb could use some friends. He did sort of leave badly though. Well not sort of. LOL You can have a look at his bio but he didn't tell anyone he was leaving when he left. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Yeah, I just looked at his bio, and Emily probably would have been pissed at him when he came back, in addition to being happy about it. She's the kind of girl that cares very deeply about her friends, and she probably would have been worried sick about him after he disappeared to New York.

Also, I was thinking that maybe these two could have been friends prior to high school? Even if he didn't tell her what was going on at home, Emily would have opened up the ranch to him and his brother if they ever wanted to hang out after school or something.

	Aww, yeah that would be awesome if they'd been friends prior to high school too! She'd have a connection with his brother Dom then as well. Dominic is played in game. And yeah, most people are pissed at Seb for how he left. LOL So he'd be fully expecting her to be angry with him. And he'd be seriously hoping that she would forgive him.

	Fantastic! I'll have to get in touch with his player as well! How recently did he come back? Because she will forgive him, it'll just take a little while, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sebastianmorgan 2009-07-31 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	I think he's been back a month. I think he returned around June 10th. So...over a month? Jeez, has that much time passed? lol His grandmother, who is well known in the community (Grace) is ill so that's why he returned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Haha, it's been almost two, then! So Emily's probably mostly over it by now, so long as he doesn't skip town again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	sebastianmorgan 2009-08-01 12:30 am UTC (link)
	Nope he's not planning to skip town again. He's actually still in love with his high school sweetheart. So he's planning to stick around and hoping she'll grow to trust him again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, Emily will be there for him to vent to if he needs it. =D (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

That would be so awesome! I'm really excited for him to have a good friend. He's been really lacking that in game and feeling sorta blue since he's considered an asshole by most. LOL Oh...he has a crazy temper that gets him in trouble but deep down he's a great guy! Ha. Seriously. But most of the other characters are pissed at him still for the way that he left. Anyway, I'm babbling. He will love Emily!

	Well, I'm sure Emily will love him! Hell, she'll even be able to deal with his temper. I mean, a traumatized horse lashing out is probably a lot scarier than he is, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Ahahaha! I love that! Awesome, can't wait to see you in game! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Can't wait to see you either! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	What about a client in a mid life crisis who's decided he needs to learn how to ride a horse? Maybe he has one that boards there that his ex wife convinced him to buy to make him seem more Texan. Ha! his cluelessness could be really entertaining. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	emilyperry 2009-08-01 11:26 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, that'll work! Emily will be more than willing to teach him how to ride his own horse, lol. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Why hello there :] I'm thinking this is Allison? Yeeess? Sorry for being all late like.

Anyway, I'm Chrissy and this is Pilar. She's 21 and a Rycade native. Lives here with her parents and her five siblings. The fam is pretty dirty poor and they're known for it. She went to school and graduated with Sebastian and Sam. She's actually the high school sweetheart that Seb left behind. She grew up with the Morgan's: Dom, Seb and Gracie.

Might be cool that Emily and Pilar didn't always get along so well and maybe bonded over his leaving? Also, Pili has a sixteen year old brother that can work for her on the ranch, if that works for you!

Hello again!

I think it would be great for Em and Pili to have bonded over Sebastian's leaving. Things with Emily and him have always been platonic, but his taking off without any warning really hurt her. I'm also thinking that Emily admires Pilar a whole hell of a lot more than she lets on, since Emily's always been the shy sweetheart type and kind of wishes that she could be as outspoken and feisty as Pilar is.

And yeah, Pili's brother can work on the ranch! There's always stuff to do, and Emily's grandfather pays everyone pretty well.
