Ari

deimons
2017-02-05 08:35 am UTC (link)

Name: Ariadne Flint
What do they look for in a person?: Ari, for all her secret romanticism, is pretty down to Earth and knows what she needs from a dude: be pureblooded so she does not further shame her family, be rich so she can have all the nice things she wants, and be stupider than she is so she knows she can always control you. She's a total keeper.

Since nobody at Gooseberry really fits this bill (even you purebloods are, like... American...) any flirtatious attention she has to spare would usually be directed at whoever she thought might bring her the most social clout, but she CANNOT get a read on how the cliques work at this stupid tiny liberal arts gay high school. She's out of her depth.

What do they find romantic?: LMAO. So. Ariadne's entire idea of what is and is not romantic is based on like, sappy historical romance novels. I'm talking handsome strangers and highland moors. I'm talking two people riding on one horse in the rain. I'm talking bodice-ripping.

Clearly she doesn't think any of those things are gonna like... actually happen to her, but some of the main tenants are pretty deeply ingrained in her psyche. Girls are damaged and boys are heroes and love Heals All and is intense and sweeping and passionate and you know right away. That kind of thing. That's how she thinks it SHOULD be, but she's never seen any evidence that this kind of romance exists in real life, so she's mostly convinced herself it's a sham that she's above.

Who do they have a crush on?: Ariadne doesn't get crushes (or hasn't yet, at least). She's kind of obssessed with being exactly like Mackenzie and she wants to destroy Wilde's life, and her extreme fixation with those things is... kind of like a crush? But not really. Hate crushes. It's as close as she's getting.

Are they seeing someone right now?: lol no

What are they like in a relationship?: She's never really dated anyone. Surprisingly she wasn't totally lying to Essie when she said she had a few boys at Hogwarts, but they weren't boyfriends. She just bossed them around and kissed them sometimes to keep them interested.

Anything else?: I promise Ari is not as much of a sociopath as this post made her sound.

Sylvester Stoker

2017-02-05 11:36 am UTC (link)

Name: Sylvester Stoker

What do they look for in a person?: When he first started getting interested in girls (i.e. when social pressure made him realize that boys his age were supposed to be interested in girls, especially if you wanted to posture as the alpha male of your 8th grade class), Sy flirted with everyone and went out with whomever wanted to give him a shot. Indiscriminate flirting is still his M.O., but with every passing year he's grown less interested in being a relationship just to prove his masculinity. Thank god for that.

If Sy has a "type," it's girls who really know their own mind and aren't intimidated by him. Not that they fight him, exactly, but they're unfazed by the way he acts? Sy talks a lot of shit and usually responds to aggression with more aggression, so you need to be able to talk to him without winding him up, which is tricky because he's such a cranky shitty person, lmao. But he can be really playful if he likes you, and enjoys doing dumb things with other people and flirting obnoxiously. Sy admires people who aren't faffing about what they want out of life, and is most drawn to confidence, ambition and directness.

What do they find romantic?: Sy knows how to pull off by-the-books romance. He's been in a few (short-lived) relationships, and he's learned Acceptable Manners as the eldest Stoker son, expected to charm debutantes at fancy events. He knows he's supposed to bring her flowers and hold open the door for her and take her side when she's verbally cutting down her lackeys. Consequently, he sees "romance" as very artificial, because almost all the romantic gestures he's ever done were just following a script instead of what he actually wanted to do.

And what he'd want to do is...??? I think he's one of those people whose ideal romance is basically just a friendship? When he's close to someone, he's very protective of them (so many threats to punch people), and he can be, uh, nurturing? Not emotionally—he's terrible about that—but he's conscious of being supportive of their interests/dreams/etc., and gives out praise freely and honestly, and will kick their asses into gear to make sure they succeed. Sy's not really a showy person, so practical gestures and concrete shows of support (going both ways) are what counts most with him.

Sylvester Stoker

2017-02-05 11:38 am UTC (link)

Who do they have a crush on?: Clementine Decourt. He's been trying to act cool about it, but it should be obvious to anyone with eyes that Sy really likes Clem, because Sy has the subtlety of a brick.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Sy would say no, because he is desperately trying to avoid/delay the Sy Stoker Destruction Cycle (see below). But I think if Clem actually wears his Coppertale scarf to his game and Sy wears her Ebonhide scarf to her game this month, then he is fooling himself about not seeing someone.

What are they like in a relationship?: He's surprisingly nice, starting out. Like, weirdly nice. Lots of attention, compliments, cute kisses, boilerplate romantic gestures. He'll make the attempt to act like A Boyfriend, and follow that script for as long as he can stand it. THIS IS THE STEP ONE TO HOW SY ALWAYS RUINS IT because following scripted behaviours will quickly become suffocating to him, since that's how he always acts at home with his parents. STEP TWO: be in denial how much you hate being A Boyfriend, because you still really like this girl, and progress the relationship by pushing for the next obvious phase, sex. Because that's what all men are supposed to want. STEP THREE: realize you can't do it. You cannot do it. Torpedo this thing. DO IT NOW. Just ghost on her or act like a complete jerk to her or pretend you don't give a shit anymore, and her friends will be begging her to kick your ass to the curb. If she won't pull the trigger, then just dump her without warning. Rinse and repeat.

I have no idea how Sy acts when he's trying to be a normal person in a relationship. It hasn't happened yet.

Anything else?: Sy has no idea what asexuality is, and has nowhere near enough emotional maturity to ask the question that will lead him to discovering it's a thing. He's not aro, though, which has created a distressing cycle wherein he keeps developing serious feelings for girls and then not wanting to do anything with them physically??? He just keeps trying in the hopes that this situation will magically fix itself.

Solomon Webb

keepmarchingon
2017-02-05 02:18 pm UTC (link)

Name: Solomon Webb
What do they look for in a person?: I don't think even Solomon knows. He likes people that are more forward than he is. He likes people who know who they are, and don't compromise that.
What do they find romantic?: Personality. Solomom has literally no idea about anything story book romantic. But what he enjoys watching in people is passion. He wants to watch people lose their shit over something they're extremely invested in, or something they know everything about. But as far as flowers and gestures goes, Solomon has literally no fucking clue, and he's not even sure that matters in the grand scheme of actual romance.
Are they seeing someone right now?: lmao this boy is a fetus. no
Who do they have a crush on?: lmao Ferris.
What are they like in a relationship?: he's never been in one. But i imagine he's pretty much how he is now? Maybe less spastic? But probably not? Solomon doesn't have a whole lot of walls around himself. He's very open and free with how he thinks and feels, he's very kind and giving with his friends. I don't think much of that will change if he's in a relationship.

But he's also about learning and growing as a person, so he has a tendency to adjust certain things based on his friends, and he'll probably adjust those same things if he was in a relationship. Like the fact that he's concerned if he should give Ferris flowers for valentines day, or if she should give her a knife???? ~~or like hunt and kill a bunny rabbit and present it to her like a puppy?? WOULD SHE LIKE THAT HE JUST DOESN'T KNOW~~
Anything else?:

Rafael Ramirez, part 1

firstposition
2017-02-05 04:27 pm UTC (link)

Name: Rafael Ramirez

What do they look for in a person?:
Rafael is primarily drawn to people who seem passionate and independent. If he senses too much desperation to appeal to others, he's much less interested. So not giving a fuck about what anyone else thinks about you is extremely attractive, but you have to be effortless about it. He's attracted to passion... but not people who try too hard. And kindness... but you can't be too soft or he'll feel judged. Intelligent, poised and confident are also good. In fact, just skip confident and go straight for cocky. HE'S GOT SOME HIGH STANDARDS.

He wants to be with someone who doesn't hold him back, even though he does need people to hold him back sometimes. That job is better left to friends, though, because when looking for a partner, he doesn't enjoy the tension that comes from someone constantly telling him he's going too far, he's too much, he overreacted, etc. Sensitivity is an absolute deal killer. If you can't handle that he's got all those sharp edges, then it's not happening.

He highly values respect, which means that people who push his buttons and cross lines with him are out. People who fight and argue a lot, also out. Rafael hates his temper, and doesn't want to be in a relationship where he has to face that any more than is absolutely necessary. He's drawn to people who have a more level head than he does, and who are good at stopping conflicts before they begin. On the other hand, he also wants someone who will fight for him, because you'd better believe he'll fight for you.

What do they find romantic?:
Rafael's pretty traditional. He likes classic romantic gestures (flowers, dances, flirting, etc.), and he likes a lot of flattery to go in both directions. He wants to tell the person he's with how incredible they are, and be told the same in return.

Humor! Rafael is severe and controlled, but that means that he values someone who can joke around a little with him even more. He's definitely on the dry side, and appreciates people who are goofy as well as those who are a little more subtle. He couldn't be with someone who was unrelentingly serious long-term, because it would bring out Rafael's more severe side rather than his gentler one.

He also wants a serious interest in one another's passion. Not just a passing tolerance. It frustrated him endlessly that he couldn't play hockey for Quinn. Leo learning to dance with him has been fantastic, and Rafael's been trying to learn to fly on a broom and play Quidditch. He's highly committed and wants to be 110% invested in the people he dates.

Who do they have a crush on?: Leonardo Fiori

Noteworthy people Rafael could have fallen for if Leo hadn't happened, to varying levels of bad idea-ness: Quinn (the revenge), Ty, Casper, & Wes. Rafael had a serious crush on Wes as a freshman, but decided he didn't hate himself enough to pine for his straight friend for the next four years. He also kind of had a thing for Ravi for a second after Quinn dumped him, but ended up accusing Ravi of using him as a Ricardo stand-in (something that also kept him from ever doing much with Levi). Over the summer, he intended to ask Quinn to give him another chance, which didn't quite work out.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Rafael's been with Leo for three or so months and he's deeply content. He's thinking the word "love" but isn't saying it out loud just yet.

Rafael Ramirez, part 2

2017-02-05 04:27 pm UTC (link)

What are they like in a relationship?:
IT'S A CLICHE, but once you get past his hard outer shell, Rafael is very soft. He's got a big heart and cares a lot, which makes him a gentle and attentive boyfriend. Don't expect anything scandalous or kinky, he's very traditional and vanilla and wants a lot of classic romance. He's also very physically affectionate and likes a lot of PDA. Physical chemistry and closeness is important to him. Gotta be compatible.

On the other hand... Rafael's kind of jealous and possessive. He tries to keep quiet because he's ashamed of it, but he gets maaaaad when people flirt with the person he's interested in. He's still got beef with Jesse because he perceived him as waiting around to steal Quinn, and even after they broke up it took a while to be okay with the idea of her dating Ty. He also gets really cranky whenever Chris joke flirts with Leo. He knows he has nothing to fear and doesn't doubt Leo's loyalty at all, but he has an ugly knee jerk reaction to it and wants to yell at Chris for it. Every. Single. Time.

So, Rafael's exceptionally dedicated and has very clear, distinct lines about what's cheating and what's not. His standards are unforgiving, and he applies them to himself as well. Once you're in, you're in, and he's unfailingly loyal. He's also intensely protective and defensive, so your enemies are now his enemies and he's going to file away every time anyone ever disrespected you and hold it against them for years.

Anything else?: RICARDO IS AN OBSTACLE. Here's some Ric angst. As a kid, Ric was jealous of his "exceptional" little brother, who was a dance prodigy and so smart and just all around beloved. Ric thought that Rafael was the favorite child because ballet required so much money and attention. There was a lot of shitty sibling fighting, which left lasting scars on their relationship. And then... Rafael got his injury and had to give up dancing. And Ric was THRILLED, because it made Rafael "normal". As he grew older, Ric developed a lot of guilt over his reaction, feeling like it was on his shoulders for wishing bad things on his little brother and enjoying seeing him lose something that important to him. He dealt with this by becoming unfairly protective, in an effort to make up for what a bad big brother he'd been. He's not lying when he says he only wants to protect Rafael. If there's one thing Rafael and Ricardo have in common, it's a willingness to be the bad guy for what they consider a good cause. (Ric is still an asshole who's going about this all wrong, though.)

Mackenzie Prince, pt 1

princeprincess
2017-02-05 05:29 pm UTC (link)

Name: Mackenzie Prince

What do they look for in a person?:
Oof. Kenzie likes messy. She's too careful and calculating for her own good, so she looks for people who are anything but. I think this is probably what made her struggle with Cricket, who she really likes. But Cricket is very careful and tidy, and Kenzie wants someone who's more of an obvious disaster. She likes brashness, recklessness, and people who are wild and a little chaotic. She doesn't want to fix these people, though, she wants them to fix her by letting her get a little down and dirty and do unexpected and wild things.

She also likes people she can get a rise out of. If you're too chill when she teases you and flirts with you, then she's bored. Kenzie knows she's a handful, so anyone who can roll with her weird jokes and doesn't seem to be overwhelmed is appealing.

On the other hand, she is practical and always has her future in the back of her mind. Which means any time she likes someone, she's also thinking Will my parents like them? If we married, what would my family say? This is often in direct opposition to her desire to date people who will be chaotic and exciting, so... she's livin' that single life.

What do they find romantic?:
Kenzie's a femme fatale. She wants a sweep-her-off-her-feet dramatic noir romance. She dreams of a love that will burn the school to the ground. It's proooobably why she doesn't actually date more, because anything less than this feels... lackluster.

She finds heroism romantic, and if you're not romantic, she'll romanticize the hell out of you until you are. It's a little tongue in cheek, but Kenzie doesn't do sincerity well. This means that despite her being an asshole, deep down she kind of likes ~nice people~ who will do the ~right thing~. This might not be a good idea long term, and has a lot to do with wanting to be the bad girl who gets with the anti-hero. The anti-hero still has to have that heart of gold. She wants to be the Catwoman to your Batman, basically.

I think the height of romance for Kenzie would be luring her to do something stupid and reckless. Break rules, get into fights, do something dangerous, etc. The adrenaline and shared experience would melt her icy heart.

Who do they have a crush on?: She's got a big ol' crush on Ulysses. Run.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Nope!

What do they look for in a person?: Older. Serious and stern. Tall. Deep voice. Intelligent. Driven. Yeah.
What do they find romantic?: Penelope waiting years for Odysseus to come back. Hades and Persephone. Queen Victoria in mourning for decades after Prince Albert died. That Florence + The Machine song "My Boy Builds Coffins." Her parents. Yup.
Who do they have a crush on?: Noel Fielding. . . Mrs. O'Hare's husband. . .
Are they seeing someone right now?: LOLLLLLLL YEAH RIGHT no
What are they like in a relationship?: Who even knows. Her only reference (and what she looks up to as goals) is how her parents act with eachother - and they're codependently needy, wrapped up in one another and their family, and intensely devoted and obsessed with each other. They have zero chill and Sylla deeply relates to that sense of "all or nothing at all." What's the point of doing something half-assed and just for fun. This is probably why she hasn't had any teenage romances because she's ~waiting~ for someone to sweep her off her feet and treat her as well as her father treats her mother. But you know, unrealistic expectations are her aesthetic. All she wants is her own Prince Albert to her Victoria. Is that too much to ask?
I should say IT'S NOT LIKE I'M RULING IT OUT OR ANYTHING BUT yeah not likely to happen, girl is weird.
Anything else?: IDK HAVE A MOOD BOARD OF HER PARENTS WHEN THEY WERE YOUNGER 💁

Leo, Pt. 1

challenge
2017-02-05 07:22 pm UTC (link)

Name: Leonardo Fiori
What do they look for in a person?: Overall, he looks for someone who can keep up with him, and someone he has to fight to keep up with. Leo's deep-seated inferiority deal means that he's always looking to climb and improve himself. If the person he's with doesn't challenge him, and isn't encouraging him to constantly show off that he's good enough and then some, he'd probably find himself unfulfilled. He's a huge fan of verbal chess as flirting, especially in the early stages of a relationship. He wants someone who is strong, because he isn't there to nurse egos that don't deserve to be nursed. He wants someone he can idolize a little for their accomplishments and passion. If they're a little scary about it, awesome. Then he can prove he isn't intimidated. He doesn't consciously know that he's also looking for an undercurrent of returned support and caring, but if he didn't have that, he'd find a way to talk himself out of the relationship quickly. He wouldn't function well with someone who bossed him around and didn't respect him, even if he could idolize them completely. This seems like an impossible standard so now I will stop writing.

What do they find romantic?: Sharing victories and working for common goals are very romantic. Winning together is obviously the greatest thing he could have as a couple. He wants to rise high in the world, and he wants someone who's at his side, but doing the same thing, too, so they can always keep each other sharp.

Leo's pretty low-maintenance on a day to day level, though. Any little gesture of sincere care or esteem touches him, and he's quick to return them. He's somehow always ridiculously flattered by the idea that someone else has thought of him and bothered to do something for him, and he always wants to pay that back immediately to show that's how he feels too.

Who do they have a crush on?: Rafael because obviously. I wish I could give you a better idea on other people he's crushed on, but I don't know, because he doesn't crush first. He sees if you pass the gauntlet of banter-flirting first. If you can hang and have other impressive qualities, that's when he starts focusing on one person at a time and actually beginning to have feelings.
Are they seeing someone right now?: He's been dating Rafael for almost three months, and he's in pretty deep, and he is very happy :(

Name: Ugly Quail, which is what my phone autocorrects Ulysses' name to.

What do they look for in a person?: #1 turn on is being into him, lmao, sorry. He loves attention and being praised. It's not cute. OTHER THAN THAT: someone who shares his values, someone who's fun to be around, someone who he can have a good back-and-forth with. A little friction/teasing is great, but actual antagonism is a hard no because he's ~sensitive, lmao. It's a little tough, because he's attracted to power & success, to uncomplicated people, and to people who have their shit on lock -- hypocritically, obviously. Truly, deep down, I think his dream date would be someone who he felt he could be himself around. It would be nice to be able to let down his guard and be a soft, little weirdo with too many feelings and not worry that the other person sees him as some kind of failure as a man. Unfortunately for him, the kind of person he's attracted to is unlikely to be into... that. And he's shallow, so they have to be hot.

What do they find romantic?: Uhhh, Ulysses has two romantic scenario fantasies and both are a little embarrassing. #1 = "We are an effortlessly cool power couple and everyone is very impressed and jealous." #2 = "We get married and have 2 children and a dog and a PONY and she makes me toast in the morning and it's nice." (Neither of these are possible b/c he sucks.)

Who do they have a crush on?: Sorry that winning is an aphrodisiac.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Naw, dawg. Freebird.

Name: Sebastien Lacroix

What do they look for in a person?: He likes nice, quiet, well-behaved people - because they kind of encourage him to be all of those things, just by virtue of existing near him. Though I have a strong feeling he'd also like someone who picks on him a little bit. Bash is more than well aware that he's the kind of person that needs handling and prodding and reminding of what he's supposed to be doing. It'd be nice for a person to be more assertive than he is. Not necessarily as verbose - because that be difficult - but definitely more decisive. Please tell him what the fuck he's supposed to be doing.

What do they find romantic?: He's fifteen, man. His life is simple and uncomplicated. Most of his romantic ideas come from horrible rom-coms his sisters make him watch and repeated viewings of Disney movies with his nieces. But also, somebody who wants to share a pizza with him would be nice. And maybe also the notes from Potions class on Tuesday. He might not have been paying attention.

Who do they have a crush on?: Gabi. Several attractive upperclassmen. Several attractive underclassmen. (Dude, seriously. This place is just filled with good-looking people.) That hot barista-dude at that one place back home. His sister Beth's husband - specifically when he picks up really heavy things. (What? It's a quality look for him. Beth has good taste!) Pretty people he makes eye contact with when on the subway. Pretty people in general.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Nah, dude. But he and Gabi are 100% gonna get married and get themselves a boyfriend/pool-boy.

What are they like in a relationship?: He has no real, practical experience with this, but going on his general approach to life? Probably very intense and eager to please and dedicated as all hell. At least at first. He'd probably mellow out a bit after enough time had passed to make him feel secure in the relationship, but at the beginning? He'd probably be hella enthusiastic about reminding the other person about how great they were. And how much he liked them. And how awesome it was that they actually liked him back. Because whoa. He'd probably still tell the other person how awesome they were after he chilled out a bit. Just - slightly less manically.

As evidenced by his neurotic rewrappings of Chris' presents, Bash goes BIG with gifts. (And fiddly little, unimportant details in general. He gets very caught on details.) Especially when it comes to girls. His sisters have very strong opinions and exacting standards and his personality demands that he follow through correctly and complete every bit of frill and trapping to these standards. He 100% absolutely does NOT expect that in return. At all. Please. It would make him feel squirmy and embarrassed. If this makes someone else squirmy and embarrassed, however, Bash is easily quelled by being told to calm the fuck down.

Anything else?: In entirely unrelated news: I have built a cat-tree. The Beast is pleased.

Robin Youngblood, aka Why Did You Even Bother, Alex? Why?

hanshotfirst
2017-02-05 08:47 pm UTC (link)

Name: Robin Youngblood
What do they look for in a person?: ~~That they’re Trixie~~ Okay, assuming Robin has any kind of criteria outside of “being my best fucking friend”:

Independence. Because sometimes Robin is just going to fuck off and not tell you and he does not mind if he goes over to see you and you’re not there because you’ve fucked off and you’re doing your own thing.

Willing to entertain his bullshit. But not just entertain it as in “ok sure yeah how do i kno tho, yeah that sounds legit.” He wants you to build conspiracies with him. He wants a partner in batshittery.

NO FEAR. LITERALLY NO FEAR. LITERALLY. He kind of loves that Trixie is allergic to everything in the world and yet she’s still like “oh yeah here let’s try this thing--turns out I’m allergic, got my EpiPen ready?” because that shows NO. FEAR.

Dark sense of humor. It helps if you also think Robin is amusing, because he also thinks he’s amusing as fuck.

Nerd as fuck. Robin is such an actual nerd.
What do they find romantic?: Burning cities together. Making plans for the zombie apocalypse. Like if Robin has any even vague sense of romance, it’s just doing shit together.
Who do they have a crush on?: Aliens. And Trixie.
Are they seeing someone right now?: Everyone knows it’s Robin/Trixie for life except Robin and Trixie. Even if Robin has admitted to Tess that he has EMOTIONS for Trixie, HE JUST DOESN’T UNDERSTAND IT.
What are they like in a relationship?: I feel like that’s a trick question.
Anything else?: Robin might be the only asexual character who a) knows what that is and b) knows that’s what he is. But Robin never really cared about the nuances or the specific labels or anything so he’s always just kind of assumed he’s also aromantic when he might be more like demiromantic? Like really these are way too many labels to just say Robin is immune to your gross hormones and kissing games, children.

Reid Wainwright

unresponsive
2017-02-05 09:16 pm UTC (link)

Name: Reid Wainwright

What do they look for in a person?:
I DON'T KNOW EXACTLY, BUT I CAN GUESS. Reid needs someone who will push him, get him out of his comfort zone, who doesn't treat him with kid gloves, etc. Get under his skin, tease him, yell at him, embarrass him. Reid's tough and will push back, and he really needs that push and pull to stay attentive. A lot of people handle him very gently and try to be patient with him, which is lovely and he appreciates it, but it also doesn't inspire any strong emotions. It's the fastest way to get friendzoned... but honestly but 9/10 paths with Reid get you friendzoned.

What do they find romantic?:
Uh. Not much. Reid doesn't go in for romance, unsurprisingly. I think he finds people who take a real interest in him and who are willing to help him to be the closest thing to romantic. He also finds roughhousing and bickering to be signs of affection. When he's being annoying/lazy/stubborn and the other person gets mad-but-not-really-mad... that's fun for him.

Who do they have a crush on?: Sy and Ty kind-of-not-really. But Sy pushes him like Reid wants, and Ty is a really good kisser. The word "crush" has to be used loosely in both cases. He's considered a lot of people in his meandering through the wasteland that is his interest in romance. Those people are Rosy, Ursula, Roxie, and Levi.

Are they seeing someone right now?: No.

What are they like in a relationship?:
It's like dating a block of wood. It's hard. He gives very little emotional feedback, and seems uninterested a lot. He's either passive to the point of seeming bored, or he's unpleasantly stubborn. It's a lot of effort for low returns. This is largely because he just gets into relationships because it seems like something he should try or someone is bold and pursues him, but it's proven difficult for him to reciprocate. He's not big on PDA either and is physically dispassionate. He's not asexual, so he'll go for hook ups and making out, although this year he's been losing interest in that. He's had a lot on his mind, and it's just not a priority.

But I think if he ever found someone to click with, he'd be more proactive. He does like to joke around and tease when he's content, and he'd be more likely to try and express himself. He loves play fighting and intentionally being annoying or pretending to be dense to get a reaction.

Anything else?: Reid is two hairs short of aromantic. He's probably never going to settle down and instead live as a swan in Sy's backyard,

Roxanne Barringer

2017-02-05 10:19 pm UTC (link)

Name: Roxanne Barringer

What do they look for in a person?: Cleverness and skill. Be better than her at stuff. More than any particular physical feature or exact sort of attitude, Roxanne likes being intrigued and she likes when people are genuinely interested in things. Especially when they're things she isn't good at. She enjoys listening to people talk passionately about things that they like. Not necessarily to the point of cockiness - though that isn't strictly a turn off - but be proud of the things you excel at and she'll be proud of them too. And will mercilessly prod you into doing them better. That's what you're supposed to do, right?

She likes teasing and wordplay and banter. Isn't one to out-and-out fight, but doesn't want someone who will refuse to argue with her entirely just because they like her. Liking her doesn't make her right, dummkopf. And it won't make the other person right either. So tell her when she's being dumb. Because she'll very probably tell you. And chances are very high that being told she's an idiot will just make her laugh.

What do they find romantic?: Roxie's ideas of romance come from a strange mix of textbook and completely off the wall. Her parents are revoltingly sweet on each other: her father thinks her mother hung the moon for him personally, and her mother uses 'my love' more than she ever uses her father's name. On the other hand, her aunt professionally throws knives at her husband, the mermaid tends to suggest enchanting young men and keeping them (impractical and rude; don't try this), and the acromantula still writes bitter poetry about the spider that rejected him (it's been years, Claudius - and eating someone's mate won't put you in their good graces).

Personally, she likes to think she's pretty simple to figure out. She doesn't expect or want very much. Someone who wants her around, sure. But not someone who needs her around. At it's most basic, Roxie wants to be something that someone likes, not an obligation or a novelty. (Chances are strong that she's been a novelty before. It probably ended in someone being decked. Someone wasn't her.)

Who do they have a crush on?: Nothing concrete. But she thinks Reece is clever and she wants to ruffle his hair up. She enjoys the heck out of sarcastically bantering with Wilde. On a purely aesthetic level, Kenzie would look gorgeous under stage lights. And Reid parkouring up the interior of the Lodge was pretty A+, she's not gonna lie.

She has, very probably, nursed something of one on most of her teammates at one point or another. But they're idle things that stem from the affection of actually having people around for more than six months before moving away and never talking to them again. Would she consider it? Sure, why not. They're all attractive and she knows that she likes them, at the very least, but it isn't anything pressing. She's much happier with having friends. It's nice. Friendship: 10/10, would recommend.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Nope.

UGH YOU GUYS I HAVE A TON OF OTHER SHIT I NEED TO DO

Name: Saira Raza
What do they look for in a person?: Are you a book? What she looks for in a person is them being a literal book.

OK but srsly tho, intelligence and drive are #1 and #2, respectively. She's a STRONG INDEPENDENT WOMAN and she's got no time for you if you aren't going places of your own.

A hefty appreciation of irony also helps. And she absolutely could never fall for anyone who didn't see her as a person first and a woman second, if that makes any sense (it does to her.)

Hold your own in a debate and she'll probably be a little into you. Shh.
What do they find romantic?: ~Study dates in the Library~ mostly. Mocking others via the power of sarcasm? BUY HER OLD BOOKS, SHE'LL BE INTO THAT. His Girl Friday style constant repartee?

Honestly, she doesn't know. Romance doesn't hold much appeal for her (though if that train ever hits her, it will hit her HARD and she will have no idea what to do with herself and she will HATE herself for SUDDENLY LIKING FLOWERS WTF SAIRA.)

After some thought I've decided that while she would initially find spontaneity quite distressing, as long as it didn't actually ruin her schedule or make her fail a project or something, in the end being ~whisked away~ from said obsessive schedule for a date of some sort would be quite romantic to her, provided a lot of thought was put into it by the whisker.

Who do they have a crush on?: No. She says no.
I kind of figure she had a little bit of a crush on Rafael at some point, but she's over it by now because she's not gonna pine over a gay man. Other that, she's in my head right now screaming that she doesn't have time for that and she's not penciling 'flirt with a boy' into her schedule. ~~I'm penciling it in there for her.~~

Are they seeing someone right now?: Noooo.

What are they like in a relationship?: N/A since she's never had one, but there is NO DOUBT that she would be like "we can spend half an hour walking by the lake on April 10th. See you then." That being said, when she prioritizes something, she prioritizes it hard, so if she actually got into a relationship with someone, she'd make time. Scheduled time, yes, but time. She's very bossy, sorry boys, and dry, and it's extremely tough to get at the gooey center she swears isn't there...but if you got there, you'd be in for life.
Anything else?: You guys know Gilmore Girls? Saira is basically Paris Geller when it comes to romance, I think. And just...every day life. I didn't even realize that til just now, shit, and I've been comparing her to Hermione for all this time.

Name: Gabriela Flores
What do they look for in a person?: Kindness. A positive outlook. A little bit of adventure, but who will make her feel safe and secure on said adventure, and in general, really. Nice eyes.
What do they find romantic?: She's a fifteen year old child, emphasis mostly on child. Things that happen in Disney movies, mostly.
Who do they have a crush on?: I'm genuinely torn between 'no one' and 'everyone' here. I have a sneaking suspicion that my initial, in-app assessment of Gabi's sexuality is wrong and she's more or less asexual but heteroromantic. Which makes the whole 'crush' thing problematic. She's got strictly romantic crushes on lots of people (at this point, mostly Bash, if the whole 'Gabi and Sebastien are getting married and having a boyfriend' thing didn't tip you off,) but no sexual crushes on anyone. I mean. Kissing and cuddling, sure, that sounds great, but nope. No tinglies-in-the-pants-area for anyone.

Oh. Also a crush on Mr. Elmasry's Tragic Past.
Are they seeing someone right now?: Nah.
What are they like in a relationship?: So very sweet and probably a little clingy/invasive/needy but meaning so well and being so very wide-eyed and earnest about it that how could you be mad at her? How?
Anything else?: I kind of did it in the 'who do they have a crush on' part, oops.

Name: Regan Hobbs
What do they look for in a person?:
A sense of fun. Self-respect and self-confidence. The ability to respect her and her own self-confidence and to be lifted up rather than torn down by these things (because she doesn't have time for your petty drama bullshit, bye.) A cute smile and a tight ass help but are not requirements. Openness- prudes and judgmental types need not apply.
What do they find romantic?: Mostly her idea of romance is making out on various surfaces. Going on adventures! Being ok with each other playing spin the bottle and without it effecting how much you like each other! ART SUPPLIES! Oooh can she paint on your arm, because that, friend, is romantic as fuck. Also, bring her food and tell her she's awesome.
Who do they have a crush on?: Ha ha ha I'm not listing them all because it's pretty much anyone who isn't a blatant asshole or related to her. Dom! Riley! Katya even though that's doomed! I could go on for a while but if she has a crush on you, you know it, she is NOT shy about it.
Are they seeing someone right now?: Kinda? She and Dom are not official but...I'd say it's complicated but Ree insists it's really not.
What are they like in a relationship?: Ree is a whirlwind, always. You're never going to be her sole focus, but if she likes you and wants to spend time with you, you definitely know it and she is definitely there a lot. She's a big, huge believer in being up front about things and she never plays games. She's very physical. She will be loyal to you and defend the hell out of you and be supportive as fuck (with tough-love thrown in if necessary,) but if you need something beyond this from her- like, uh, more stability than she usually provides what with the whole 'whirlwind' thing or exclusivity or something like that- you're gonna have to say so because you're not her whole world and she's not going to behave like you are or pretend to be able to read your thoughts and she's not gonna stick around if you expect her to.
Anything else?: She's entirely too mature for her age in a lot of ways, don't ask me. Fairytales are not her thing. Which is kind of sad in a way because OMG REE, HAVE A HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART, NOT A HIGH SCHOOL STD.

Name: Isaiah Covington
What do they look for in a person?: ~~Cute boys.~~ Someone who notices, let alone laughs at, his awkward jokes is always a plus. At least a passing interest in music is nice. Maybe someone a little more assertive than he is? And kindness, that's key, if you're going to mock him he's going to just shut down and not be able to relate or trust you, at all. TRUST yes that's it.

Also, cute boys.
What do they find romantic?:
Isaiah is just really into the idea of being quiet together. Being able to be with someone and not having to fill the silence. That being said, he has this little romance fantasy of his crush/boyfriend/whatever asking him to play just for them and then the two of them sneak into the music room in the middle of the night and it's very daring and ~romantic~ and they probably get caught because LOL PLAYING PIANO AT MIDNIGHT IS LOUD but it's ok because awwwwww.

Also I think he kind of wants to be Mr. Darcy?
Who do they have a crush on?: Jacob.
Are they seeing someone right now?: N...ooooo...although plans were made to meet up at the party so it's KIND of like seeing someone, a little, not really, but enough that Isaiah's probably a little giggly about it if you catch him at the right moment and are Ravi.
What are they like in a relationship?: He's sweet, and he tries his best with the romance, but he's really not into PDA or other people being into his personal business so he doesn't advertise relationships at all. There will be no snuggling in the lunch room. He's awkward as fuck, obviously. He does not have a roaming eye, though- if he's with you, he's with you and no one else and there's never any question of him even being interested in anyone else. He's kind of a little intense, but in a subtle way, if that makes any sense?

He needs his space, but he also feels badly for needing his space, so there's probably a lot of semi-awkward little gestures to try to make up for it.
Anything else?:He's just so pretty tho, you can forgive his for being an awkward mess, right?

Name: Cameron
What do they look for in a person?: Pretty ladies? He also tends to gravitate towards people who are energetic and open about their feelings - or at least openly flirtatious. He doesn’t want to take the time to dig through ~layers~ and parse out ~deep feelings~.
What do they find romantic?: Spontaneity! Musical numbers!
Who do they have a crush on?: All the GB ladies why are you all so pretty.
Are they seeing someone right now?: Lolol no.
What are they like in a relationship?: A date with him would probably be FUN! Definitely something high energy and entertaining. After several dates like that, most people would get tired and just want to chill - not him! You’re very rarely going to get a quiet night in. He may randomly buy you nice gifts just because he wants to, but he’s not going to remember any anniversaries. He puts on an act that he never needs to work hard for things, and that attitude would carry over into a relationship. Why do people want to take relationships so seriously? They should just be fun!!

iviie
2017-02-08 08:23 am UTC (link)

Name: Ivy Marie Templeton
What do they look for in a person?: Ivy... unfortunately, I think, has a tendency to like projects. Everyone she's dated has been pretty ill-suited for her, but I think the whole concept of dating troubled people is mildly appealing to her on its own. Which is weird because she's... so not that way. Then again, a lot of the qualities she appreciates in other people are ones she doesn't have herself: any combination of assertive, self-assured, even-tempered, laid back, and impulsive.

What do they find romantic?: Honesty, trust, respect. Ivy hates being condescended to and if she's not being treated as an equal that's a huge dealbreaker. Ivy has a hard time just being herself and is fairly emotionally guarded for how friendly she is, so confiding in someone or just being totally relaxed around them is a real act of intimacy for her. Being "alone together"/quiet time/reading/studying as a chill hang. She's very nurturing and shows her affection through taking care of people, so of course it's appreciated when the favor is returned. As for gifts and romantic gestures, small and well-thought out is better than grand gestures. ~~If Wilde ever wrote her poetry she was probably super into that lmao~~

Who do they have a crush on?: yeah look she's kind of into Jesse please don't judge her. Also as a side note I totally bet she had a big dumb crush on Ravi in like freshman year and couldn't even talk to him like a normal person until she got over it.

Are they seeing someone right now?: Nope.

What are they like in a relationship?: The few relationships Ivy's had in the past have fizzled out due to a combination of her tendency to keep people at arm's length and her intense focus on her schoolwork. But she's not a bad girlfriend, really. She's doting and good at listening. She'll never forget an important date or your little siblings' names and ages or what your favorite food is. She likes to make little hand-made gifts to brighten your day. She'll be supportive of your goals. And she's always got advice if you need it.

Anything else?: !!!baby bi crisis!!!

Name: Clementine Decourt
What do they look for in a person?: She likes people that're the same as her. She's spent so much of her life feeling like the odd person out that people who are on her level appeal to her most across the board, and especially as far as relationships go. And she's a little difficult to get along with, obviously, so having the same... QUIRKS WE'LL SAY is a plus in her book. People who aren't offended by her sometimes mean-spirited sense of humor for sure. She wouldn't be able to handle having to be careful with someone's ego. Ultimately if someone doesn't have a passion in life or any drive to excel, there's not a lot she'd be able to relate to them on (the thing in question doesn't have to be Quidditch, fwiw, but the energy and dedication have to be there).

All that said she's never been particularly discerning about who she kisses. She'll kiss basically anyone as long as they're not a douche about it. But she doesn't seem to think much of kissing as a sign of serious romantic interest either. It's equal parts "fun activity" and "way to get attention" to her.

What do they find romantic?: She's not super into sappy cliche shit. Or codependency. Or, surprisingly, drama. She finds most other people's gushy high school romances to be borderline intolerable. This has a lot to do with the fact that she's really uncomfortable expressing positive emotions. Excessive compliments and "I Love You"s didn't get bandied around in her family a lot while she was growing up. It's just not their style. Now she's most likely to respond to any kind of open affection, friendly or romantic, with an embarrassed aside of "gross, whatever", and she lets people know she cares about them by TALKING SHIT. lovingly.

As for what she actually does find romantic... like... excitement! Adventure! Fun! Doing dumb shit together! She's here to have a good time, mostly. If a relationship isn't fun she's not sure what it's good for.

Who do they have a crush on?: Sy Stoker. Obviously. She knows it's obvious. No she doesn't want to talk about it

Are they seeing someone right now?: TBD pending quidditch results. (Honestly, though: she really likes Sy. If she were a normal well-adjusted person she'd probably just assume they were dating by now, but she's not super into boyfriend/girlfriend-y going steady stuff in the first place, so since he's clearly avoiding the subject she's just gonna let it lie. AND she's having a good time as is anyway, if it ain't broke, etc.)

What are they like in a relationship?: She's never been in a serious relationship but I think she'd probably be pretty low-maintenance. She's not clingy or demanding and not the jealous type. If the other person was clingy she might start getting weird about things, but otherwise it'd be like. let's hang out after class. please hold my quaffle while i beat that guy up. let's go find a really tall tree and climb it. y'know, TEENAGE ANTICS

Name: Chloe
What do they look for in a person?: Chloe doesn’t typically have the best luck in romance, because she mostly goes for anyone who is cute and who is remotely nice to her... even if it’s only surface-level nice. If they turned out to be not so nice later, she just internalized it as being her own fault and didn’t defend herself at all. Ideally, she likes people who are super enthusiastic about random/obscure interests like she is, even if they’re not the same, someone who will listen to her geek out about her interests and not be bored, someone who actually appreciates her as she is and doesn’t tell her what to do/how to be. She has mostly just felt like jerks who are sometimes nice were the best she could hope for.
What do they find romantic?: Aside from all the preposterous romantic tropes she has absorbed from fanfiction (#coffeshopau #collegeau #spaceoutlawsau #imagineyourotp), she really likes just hanging out, watching movies and eating snacks. Laughing at funny movies, crying at sad movies, snuggling at scary movies, all equally good. She likes sharing hobbies/interests, because even if she’s not into something, she can get super hype-by-proxy about the stuff people she’s close to are into. She thinks it’s super romantic when people remember little things you said and act on it later, like getting a funny card on a month old inside joke, or buying a perfume because you once said you liked the smell of something.
Who do they have a crush on?: Most of her crushes in life have been schrodinger's crushes, where if you never let them know, then they can simultaneously love you and hate and you just never open the box.
She started off this year with a crush on Riley, because Riley is a cute girl and complimented her and wanted to kiss her! Even though some of those comments were backhanded, and Riley was equally into kissing any other girl, Chloe didn’t/chose not to see that for a while, and had circumstances been different, Riley probably could have kept her dangling all year. She also had a bit of a crush on Diego for a while, because he’s a ~cool older boy~ who kissed her at party games and didn’t even look annoyed or disgusted! But she was also convinced he must secretly hate her/make fun of her.
Then A-Day happened, and it turned out there was a nice cute boy who liked her and had been there all along?!?!?!?!
Are they seeing someone right now?: KURT! ♥♥♥♥♥
What are they like in a relationship?: Sweet, enthusiastic, sentimental, possibly clingy. When she has a serious crush, she draws lots of fluffy pictures and writes lots of sappy stuff; in a relationship, she does the same, but then you get to see it. She likes to spend ~~all~~ a lot of time together, but is content to just hang out and do nothing. She frets easily that she is being annoying or embarrassing, and has to be assure that yes, they do still like her.
