Helloooo! Here's two characters, friends.
CHESA NAVARRO! sweetrot
Chesa is the oldest of two girls that was more or less raised by her uncle, Alejandro. On her maternal side of the family, she's cousins with the Kanes. The Navarros owns a hobby farm in the same general area of Lyllia's stables and sells eggs/veg/etc at the farmer's market, depending on what's in season at the time. It was her grandfather's, then her uncle took over caring for it after he passed. Her parents died when Chesa was six-years-old in a mugging gone very wrong, which is why her uncle raised her and her sister. She was born and raised in Dunhaven and went to Athena Academy, her uncle doing everything to make sure the girls could attend the private school to give them the best shot possible. She graduated in 2008!
After graduating high school, Chesa moved to Richmond to attend Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, where she got her degree in Craft and Material Studies, specifically within the metal/jewelry program. After some time honing her craft, she now sells handmade jewelry, both online, in boutiques (including some in Dunhaven), and the craft fair circuit; she's going to be selling at the farmer's market, too. Over Christmas, her uncle told her that he was considering selling the family farm because he can't take care of it on his own due to age and illness, so she decided to move back to Dunhaven to help him out. She's been back since the end of January!
Chesa's canon is Nova Artino from Renegades, thus giving me Marissa Meyer bingo. Her younger sister (Marisol, age 23) is available to be played, if that's something you'd be interested in. I would love some friends from back in the school days; maybe they kept in touch when she was living in Richmond and got together when she would come home for holidays to visit her uncle and sister, maybe they drifted and can reunite! An ex from back then would be fun, too. She has a lot more info in her bio, so feel free to check it out; please note that there are some trigger warnings in her history.
ARIA WINTERS! nottoday
Aria was the only child of both Eddison and Katherine Winters, is the younger sister to Max, and is Lyllia's niece. For those not familiar with the Winters history, both of her parents were in a car accident when she was 17 that left her under the legal guardianship of her older brother until she turned 18. In school, she didn't really have to put a lot of effort into her work to get good grades and sort of slid by until high school, when she got really dedicated after she got the idea in her head that she wanted to escape Dunhaven and do her own thing literally anywhere else. She was also very much involved in sports, particularly soccer and lacrosse. Between her grades and lacrosse skills, she graduated in 2018 with a good chunk of scholarship money for Stanford.
She spent fall semester in California and basically spent the whole time missing her family and wanting to be back in Dunhaven. She didn't feel as though she fit in and struggled with making friends, which left her spending most of her time in her dorm. Her grades were great because of it, but she's a pretty social girl so that was tough on her. It didn't help that she started getting dreams that made her miss her family even more. So, on a bit of a whim, she applied for transfer to University of Dunhaven during winter break and by a stroke of luck/expedited process thanks to someone in Admissions having had known her parents, she was able to transfer and has been back in Dunhaven officially as of yesterday and attended her first classes today. She isn't living on campus, though, and will be commuting from home this semester.
Aria's canon is Arya Stark from Game of Thrones. I would very much like some friends for her outside of her family; she just graduated in spring, so she was with that particular crew. She worked at Grandma's as soon as she was old enough and also picked up a job at J's Gas & Food during the summer, leaving both jobs because she moved. She's going to be trying to get both jobs back again as soon as she can, though, so people may know her or could meet her through there!
