Name: Vicky Barnes
Age: 16
Power: Size Alteration
Greetings everyone! And welcome to Vicky’s first ever character ad. Are you as excited as she is? Doesn’t matter either way, she’ll be excited for all of you.
As you might’ve noticed from the last name, Vicky is indeed related to Hammel’s batty biology teacher, or as she’d call her: Granny-Dearest. Don’t you just love teacher’s pets?
She’s really not that bad… be nice.
So, a quick summary of her history, as she knows perfectly well you aren’t going to read through those walls of text just to get to know her: Vicky was born in England, London to be precise, and she’ll occasionally speak in a British accent. You’ve been warned.
She came to Hammel when she was twelve years old because she had some massive shrinking/growing difficulties and almost got squashed to death during a happy sleep-over party. She was supposed to go to Switzerland, as it was technically the closest one to her, but her parents wanted her as far away as possible and decided to dump her on her poor grandparents. (Not really, they just wanted her to feel more at home by having family around)
And now you’re stuck with her. I hope you don’t mind. And if you do, well… she’s sorry?
Seeing as she’s been here for four years now, I’d imagine she’s met at least a few people before. She isn’t a hobo who stays in her room all day, after all.
Friends
Acquaintances are easily made, true friends though, are a whole different cup of tea.
Vicky doesn’t often make real, lifelong friends, and so far, in her 16 years on earth, she’s only found one person that she genuinely loves (In a friendly way). She tends to use this friend as a measurement tool, which is kind of unfair to others, because this friend couldn’t do anything to piss Vicky off, no matter how hard she tried.
She tends to get along with most people, though really lazy people usually annoy her. If you’re the type to lie in bed all day long while the only exercise you get is from picking your nose, don’t expect her to instantly like you. Maybe if you have some redeeming qualities, but otherwise, she’ll discriminate the hell out of you and avoid you so she won’t catch your lazy-germs.
One exception to this rule is if you happen to be the school gossip who knows all the juicy details about what goes on at Hammel, as she’ll likely keep your number on her speed-dial for information gathering.
Note for people whose characters have also been here for a while: I’d love it if she were already familiar with a few people from the past few years. It would be a bit odd for her to be in a school for four years and only just now getting to know her fellow students/teacher/etc…
Brother/Sister Type
Sadly enough, Vicky parents decided one of her was more than enough, and didn’t grant her any siblings for Christmas. As such, she has the unnatural urge to make other people into her brothers or sisters. Damn those parents for messing her up by not giving her a sibling, eh?
However, there are plenty of people in the world, and brothers and sisters don’t necessarily have to be blood-related, do they?
If you’re the type of person who could use a sisterly figure in your life to watch your back and help you cheat on tests and other funsies, feel free to apply. Vicky doesn’t discriminate by age, but if you’re younger than her, she’ll likely be a little overprotective. Whether you like it or not.
Lovers
Hah! Like Vicky has time for such foolishness! She has stuff to do. What kind of stuff? Well… you know, stuff. It’s too much to list, so don’t question her about it!
Still, for those interested: Vicky is extremely busy planning out her future and working her butt off for things to put on her future résumé. The only people she’d be willing to make room for would have to be people equally serious about their future. These people would still have to have a life of their own though, because Vicky is too caught up with other stuff to entertain any potential boyfriends all the time. But if she truly likes someone, she’ll find time to spend with them. She’s not a complete ice-queen.
Enemies
Think Vicky is a soft and gentle person who will allow you to jerk her around? Think again.
Though she’s unlikely to cause a scene over a simple insult, she has her limits too, and if you push those limits, you’ll find she’s the type of dog that doesn’t just bark, but actually bites back.
There are several ways to get on her hate-list, most of them being pretty simple to figure out; Insulting her family or – god forbid – physically harming or threatening them is a guaranteed way to end up here. Bullies tend to get here too, whether you were bullying her, or someone else.
Anything Else
Got another idea that I haven’t mentioned here? Throw it at me!
Thank you for reading!
