GROUP VERSE: #ROSEWOODACADEMY

with some many advances in technology & humans becoming more & more fascinated with the world of the supernatural - the creatures that roam this world are in more danger than ever of being exposed . . . or worse . somewhere along the way a group of supernatural creatures came together to create a new boarding school for the new generation who need to be protected . taking applicants from the ages of 18 - 27 , rosewood is the place for creatures of all kinds to come together & find higher education from skilled members of their species . as well as learn new information about species outside of themselves . the only problem ? having so many different creatures under one roof can lead to a lot of tension in the hallways .

rosewood academy is a multi - verse , discord & dashboard based group verse based solely around supernatural creatures . characters of any fandom are welcome but will need to adapt into one of the supernatural categories .

no ooc drama / cliques / problematic vibes will be tolerated .

you may have as many muses as you would like as long as you feel you can handle them .

18+ only both characters & ooc as I do not write with muns who are under 18 .

to refrain from confusing themes the lores will be as followed ( split up between a few fandoms to make things as fair as possible ! of course I can't include everything so as this is my verse I will be choosing which lore to choose from . if you do not see your muse's species on the list please message me & we can discuss adding it as long as it is completely different & cannot fit into a pre-determined category . if this is taken advantage of then I will no longer accept this . )

vampires , witches , werewolves , dhampirs ( moroi will reference vampires ) , shadowhunters , faeries , banshees , alchemists .

NAME: Valerie Francis AGE & PRONOUNS: 21, she/her FACECLAIM: Halston Sage COLLEGE: East Mount Academy, psychology major JOB: Student LOCATION: Eastside

CHARACTER QUOTE.

QUOTE: “When you look at me, you don’t see someone you should be afraid of. But you’re wrong.” - Misty Quigley, Yellowjackets

CHARACTER IN DEPTH.

HEADCANONS:

Val tries to live her life by the quote “in a world where you can be anything, be kind.” She knows that the world can be a terrifying place. Sometimes putting a little kindness into the universe is all it takes to brighten someone’s day.

Valerie’s older sister is nothing like Val is. As a teenager, her sister was always getting into trouble. Seeing how much stress this caused her parents, Val did whatever she could to make their lives easier. She’s definitely a people-pleaser and will do what it takes to take stress off of another person’s plate.

Val would describe herself not as an optimist or a pessimist, but a pragmatist. This leaks over into other areas of her life; she does not believe in things until she sees them for herself, whether its religion, astrology, or aliens and ghosts.

BIO:

Looking at the life of one Valerie Francis, it would be easy to assume that she never faced any ‘real’ hardship in her life. She was to two parents who loved each other very much – parents who were able to afford a picturesque home with a fenced-in yard, who encouraged their family to eat together at the dinner table each night, and who still took each other on dates and surprised each other with flowers every once in a while ‘just because.’ But as picture-perfect as things appeared to be on the outside, Valerie now looks back at her childhood as her parents’ well-intentioned way of maintaining control. Eating dinner as a family together? That was her parents’ way of ensuring both Francis girls were home and not getting into trouble. It was a way to check in and ask probing questions about their days and their grades and boys they might be interested in. Offering incentives like buying Valerie a car if she maintained her straight A’s and scored well on the SATs kept her studying… and away from ‘troublemakers.’ Val doesn’t necessarily blame her parents, either. They lived not too far away from Woodsboro, California, the town that made national news for gruesome, horrible murders. Even though she hadn’t been born when Ghostface made their neighboring town his playground, the legacy of the multiple murder sprees and serial killers hung in the air like an incoming storm’s lightning filled clouds, ready to strike. No matter where she went, there was always a warning. “Take your pepper spray, just in case” and “text me when you get where you’re going,” were just other ways that the Francis family said “I love you.” It became a way that Valerie showed she cared, too. Her parents’ warnings and reminders leaked into her daily interactions with her friends. Some of them laughed it off, calling her overly concerned. But Valerie preferred to be safe rather than sorry, kind rather than callous. Plus, she felt like she had other things to put her energy into; she focused her energy on her future rather than her present, knowing that she had a whole life ahead of her that she could waste on wild adventures. She wasn’t even sure she wanted those kinds of adventures, anyway. So instead of going to parties with her friends, Valerie studied for the SATs. She volunteered at the local animal shelter. She ran for student council. And all of it paid off when she got into four of the six colleges that she applied to. She decided to attend East Mount Academy along with one of her best friends. When they got to school, Valerie’s friend was adamant that they both needed to live a little. And sure, an occasional shot of whiskey or house party on a Saturday night wasn’t so bad. But as her high school friends wanted to party more and more, Valerie found herself shrinking away from those relationships. After saying no to a few weeknight parties, her friends stopped inviting her. And suddenly, Valerie started feeling very, very alone. It was this loneliness that had Valerie second guessing her philosophy towards her college experience. She tried for months to hold on to her positive attitude, the friends she made in the dining hall, and the life that she had grown accustomed to living. Now in her junior year, she's come to the conclusion that because she has always lived for her future, she hasn't given herself a real chance to enjoy the life she leads right now.

Rebellion isn’t exactly a common word in Valerie’s vocabulary. But she desperately wants to try something new, to be someone new. It started with saying ‘yes’ to things outside of her comfort zone. Parties, day drinking, even downloading a few dating apps and scrolling through profiles to see how other people put themselves out there. Somehow, the more that she saw she’d passed up on until now, the more frustrated and angry she became with herself. She’d let so much of the world pass her by, all to focus on safety and security – things that nobody was guaranteed. This anger bubbles up inside of her. She finds herself having crying fits and what she assumes are panic attacks, nights when she becomes so captivated by her perceived failures that she blacks out and wakes up with her face red and puffy, her room a mess. And sometimes, it’s so much more. She’s not just angry at herself. She’s angry at her so-called friends. The ones who left her. The ones that only return her texts when they want something in return. The ones that left her to fend for herself and recreate her social life from scratch without thinking about her twice. When her anger extends beyond herself, sometimes she loses control of her emotions. She blacks out and comes to hours later, only to find her cell phone screen cracked, dents in her bedroom wall. The emotional overstimulation has become external and physical. Valerie wonders when the damage won’t be to an inanimate object, but to someone she cares about… and she’s starting to scare herself.
