yes, and i think lana would work well :) tysm!!

soooo i currently have gigi hadid as the fc for my very fake, plasticy character chloé wadeford but then i remembered that girl loren gray?? she actually looks like she was dipped into lucite and preserved hahah so i wondering if i should switch fcs or nahhh

here's my personal opinions, if that helps:

-- i kinda prefer gigi over loren, just because from what i've read in the rp, i can already imagine chloé as gigi... i also like that she's not necessarily white, which adds in diversity in the rp... i'm also not a big fan of gigi as a person, so it's easier for me to picture her as chloé

-- despite being sixteen, loren looks really young, and in the rp, i know one of my characters might confuse chloé for a freshman, rather than the 'queen' of the school, but i could also see her fitting chloé's description

not sure if this helps, lol

ty!! you’re right that loren looks really young, i’ll keep her fc as gigi

ooh i found an actress with purple hair (ariela barer) but i think ebba zingmark would still be good for cyrilla... but thoughts?

aaah, now i don't know who to choose lol

lol


i have yet ANOTHER fc issue.... i’m making a poetry teacher & currently have dana ivgy as the fc (which i think is fitting) OR i was wondering if i should have more diversity and have hannah simone or elodie yung as a fc?? i just feel like my charries aren’t rlly inclusive which is funky bc i’m asian ://

i like the current fc you're using, but if you do want to change it, then i'd say use elodie

I need help with making sure my character is Vanderbilt-Worthy and not boring?!?!

Here's what I've got so far:
/spoiler
Princess Sadie Lune
15//queer//she + her

writer extraordinaire and a sophomore, house of (which one?)

Sadie Lune is broken.
She can't handle life as a princess. She is confined to pretty dresses and giggling behind fans when she wants to be writing and exploring the world. She can't even explore her sexuality, which she hopes she can do a little more at Vanderbilt, let alone explore the world. She isn't set to be Queen, but instead is second-born and still not even free. The arbitrary beliefs of her mother confine her to a life that could be justified in 1820, not 2018.
Sadie's last straw with her parents was when they caught her kissing her brother's betrothed. Sadie's enrollment at Vanderbilt was instantly secured and she was sent packing. Sadie isn't close to reaching a conclusion about her sexuality but knows that she is attracted to girls. Sadie's hobbies include writing, drinking tea, and complaining.

Faceclaim: (Idk any suggestions??)

/spoiler
My problems so far:
-Can't pick a country for her to be the Princess of. I justify wanting her to be a princess by deciding that she isn't a cookie-cutter Vanderbilt mean girl (No tea or shade at Chloe- I don't mind her but when people try to do knockoffs of awesome characters I just *ugh*)
(Also I hope it isn't weird that I know this stuff and I'm new, I just read some RPs to get acquainted with the group)

Also how do I do spoilers? :D

lol, much shade should be thrown at chloé! I haven’t RP-ed her in forever, but she is the classic mean girl trope.

For a FC, what are you looking for? Off the top of my head, a few teen FCs I can name (or who at least are within +/-5 years of teenager-hood): are Joey King, Yara Shahidi, Auli'i Cravalho, Malaika Firth, Khushi Kapoor

One person had an idea of making their character a princess of a micronation, aka a country that isn’t officially recognized by world powers/ the UN. Or maybe they could be a “pretender” which is a royal of a country that technically doesn’t have a monarchy. (Ex: Greence and Constantine II)

So is having actually royal characters closed now??

We (the Mods) tend to restrict royal characters in general

I could go for a Princess not directly in line for the throne (a la Princess Eugenie)
I'm frustrated at my lack of FC ideas but it isn't really anyone's fault but the media for actual teenager erasure but I'm going to try really hard to find a real teenager FC.

Could I use a current star but from when they were a few years younger?

I understand completely, but I'd like to find a way to work in her royalty because I think it is a part of her character in a kind of important way.

Could she be the daughter of the president (who could be completely made up??)

Sorry for the spam but as soon as I hit post I think of something else XD

Angel, any thoughts?

I think a princess eugenie idea is great tbh.

For a FC, try not to go older than 23-25, then it gets obvious.

Right, tsym! I'll fix up the character and then post her to the student creation. Can she still be a princess of England or should I pick somewhere else?

somewhere else. england is an easy choice imho
