Homework: Fall in love.
Extra credit: Survive heartbreak.
Clara Featherstone
Age:
18
Role:
The Chaos in the Story
Personality:
Drama queen, sarcastic comeback specialist, overthinker, emotional but fierce when it matters. She's the kind of girl who would rather throw fists than let anyone tear her down.
Appearance:
Dark brown eyes. Wild, really really really really curly hair that she always lets loose — it's practically her crown.
Quirks:
Talks with her hands, has a playlist for every mood swing, claims she's "totally fine" while plotting ten different scenarios in her head.
Strengths:
Loyal to the bone, passionate, fearless when protecting her loved ones.
Flaws:
Impulsive, sometimes reckless, often caught between her feelings and overthinking.
Noah Carter
Age:
18
Role:
The Passenger Seat Protector
Personality:
Patient, soft-spoken but firm when it counts, always the peacemaker. He's the boy who chooses silence over drama but speaks up when it's about Clara.
Appearance:
Honey-brown eyes that always look like they're seeing through your walls. Black-brown tousled hair that somehow always looks like he just got out of bed but in a perfect way.
Quirks:
Always drives with one hand on the wheel, collects random ticket stubs and receipts, hates loud arguments.
Strengths:
Calm under pressure, protector energy, deeply understanding.
Flaws:
Avoids confrontation for too long, bottles things up until they crack.
Dynamic with Clara:
The balance. Where she is fire, he is water. Where she's chaos, he's clarity. He's the passenger seat boy who turns into the quiet kind of love story everyone roots for. He's her calm. The one who takes the glass from her hand when she's spiraling, who brings her back down to earth when her emotions explode.
Damian Bennett
Age:
19
Vibe:
Walking red flag
Personality:
Tattoos, cocky grin, thinks rules are for losers. Has that "dangerous" aura every teen girl wants but shouldn't. Dresses like he rolled out of bed but makes it look intentional (black ripped jeans, red hoodie, silver chain).
Appearance:
Sharp jawline, stormy gray eyes, tattoos crawling up his arm.
Dynamic with Clara:
He's thrilling, but also toxic. She chases him because it feels like a movie, but it's doomed.
Miles Hayes
Age:
18
Vibe:
Golden retriever energy wrapped in shy-nerd packaging.
Personality:
Soft-spoken, braces, always neat, always in blue/light colors. He's the type to tutor her in math, write her playlists, and never confess because he's terrified. Green flag but too quiet for Clara's storm.
Appearance:
Sandy blond hair, brown eyes, nervous smile.
Dynamic with Clara:
She knows he likes her but pretends not to notice. She thinks he's "too boring." He's the heartbreak waiting to happen because he deserves someone who sees him.
