ALEXANDRA ROSSESSEN  | |  the gossip

❝My girlhood was the rot that comes from candy      lollipops stuck to pavement    chapstick that started on someone else's lips.❞

        She doesn’t hide behind her almost boyish childishness, hungry for the attention she never got before, but that rightfully belongs to her now. Out of her depth, even for somebody of her caliber and intelligence, she doesn’t know how to outgrow her ponytails and the little high-school-esque dramatics, and stand tall in line with the other adults. For the fact that she arrived to the university years too early, surrounded by less green than she was used to, she had to skip stages of her life, tripping over her feet in the run to keep up and locked at seventeen, turning herself almost incapable of maturing. As she turned the university into her playground and carved her name into every tree with a boldness she got out of nowhere, she grew claws and fangs and rather than complying to the standard, she brought high-school with her through a gossip blog supposedly run anonymously.

What we loved about your application is the amount of information you managed to send through the para sample and the masterful subject you chose to approach, which was what ultimately convinced us that you are not only suited, but a great match to play Alex. we can’t wait to see her fickleness, her childish behavior and everything else you have hinted in this application, for I am sure it is going to be quite a show. You showed us bits of this character that we didn’t know existed, but loved straightaway. No more blabber, we are excited to see the Quarrel Club completed in such a manner!

Name and pronouns: Madz Age: 20 Time-zone: EST Activity level: I’m currently taking my finals, but by the time you’re accepting applications they should be about over, which gives me pretty much all the time in the summer until I get a job, which hopefully will only knock my activity to about a 7.

IN CHARACTER INFORMATION

Desired character: Alexandra Rossessen

Gender and pronouns of the character:   Female / She/Her Changes: N/A Traits:

Imaginative: Wherever her thoughts take her, her heart is sure to follow. Her mind racing constantly, many have confused her perpetual daydreaming state for absent-mindedness, but that’s far from being the case. Many times throughout meetings Alexandra has had to be snapped out from her current thoughts, though she can’t help but find herself falling right back into them the moment her attention is lost.

Inquisitive: Her knack for learning has always been something Alexandra has held on to throughout her life, whether it was learning a new equation or learning the latest in celebrity gossip. She loves asking questions and learning new things, especially in a social aspect.

Immature: For as hard as she tries to appear to be a fully-developed woman, Alexandra cannot help but fall to the ways of her age, finding herself rather childish in a sea full of mature adults. This doesn’t help with her tireless need to spread gossip, as her immaturity keeps her from

Irritable: Though she does her best to get close to those around her, Alexandra can’t help but be irritated by the presence of many of the people on campus. She’s young, and she’s surrounded by those who she can’t relate to, and she has no interest either. The things the people around her do and say, especially when they speak down to her because of her age infuriates her to no end.

Impersonal: Alexandra has little connections within Oxford, which she doesn’t mind, especially when it comes to her gossip blog. Anything she posts up there she has confidence in, and she feels no ounce of regret when she posts her blasts.

Extras: I feel as if Alexandra would choose creative writing as her major for college, as she already has a knack for writing because of her blog and her child-like imagination and nature. Her ability to come up with stories is something many have found to be her gift, one that she may or may not use for evil. But no one can say that she has no talent for it, because if they’ve heard any of the outlandish stories she tells, they’d know they were wrong.

PARA SAMPLE

Her lips crept from the straight line they’d been resting in throughout the meeting when her ears were met with the harsh sound of the gavel hitting it’s respective landing place, signifying that the current meeting of the Quarrel Club had drawn to a close. Instantly, though she tried her best to keep them from wandering so far, her eyes landed on Victoria, the only other member of the club in which she felt a certain closeness. Lifting a brow, she tilted her head in the direction of the door as she began to stand, hoping that Victoria would understand what this meant.

The walk from their meeting place to her dormitory had never been one she fancied going alone, though Alexandra never quite found the company of just herself satisfactory, always trying to fill her fleeting moments with as much company as she could, her incessant craving for attention bringing about all sorts of company she would sooner or later drive off with her outlandish tales. But not the Quarrel girls, they seemed to keep her around despite getting fed up time after time from her stories, which she appreciates wholeheartedly but hopes deep down that it lasts. For her childish nature had always been something she felt comfortable with, finding proper adult life rather boring and monotonous, but fitting in with these women was the best thing she had going for her these days, for she had no friends back home to run to, and if she lost them it would be the icing on top of her lonely cake.

Meeting Victoria at the edge of the table, she swiftly linked her arm within the brunette’s and kept the weight of it rather light, not wanting to put too much pressure on the girl who seemed to take on more than she could imagine. Leaning in a bit as they walked, the corner of Alexandra’s lips twitched as she felt a smile creep onto them, a telltale sign that her mind had begun to churn out yet another story. Victoria was one of the few people in which Alexandra felt compelled to be truthful with, their long nights swapping stories back and forth solidifying their friendship made Alexandra wonder what could happen if she kept the truth on the forefront of her mind. But nothing good lasts forever, and Alexandra’s need to falsify the truth at every moment overtook her, even when she wished it hadn’t.

“Quite a meeting, huh?” Alexandra looked at Victoria with eager eyes, hoping that she would take the invitation for casual conversation that would allow her to work up a good story. “I mean, after what Gwendolyn did last night in Hampshire… I’m shocked she was even able to make it back to Oxford on time, given the fact that she woke up in someone else’s bed and all. Honestly, Victoria, I’m surprised we were even called out today seeing how the bags under her eyes were heavier and darker than the secrets she’s going to have to carry around now.” With this, a small laugh burst from her throat and she had to cover her mouth, Gwen still being in close range as they exited the building. It was refreshing, to say the least, to be in the company of such fine women and have them accept her (or at least seem to), and it tugged at her mind constantly that she could ruin the good thing she had with them from one minor slip up or one rumor gone too far. Alexandra knew the risks, however, and came to the realization that it was a chance she was going to have to take, her intelligence and ability to act more mature than she truly was being enough to keep them around.

Letting out a soft sigh, Alexandra unlinked her arm from Victoria’s, instantly craving the soothing touch of her friends’ skin, but Alexandra knew there was a limit to everything good, though if she were to have her way there wouldn’t be. Skipping along next to the duchess, the stark difference between the two could be seen immediately, though she wasn’t one to try and hide it. Reaching her arms out into the air, she moved her fingers against the cool air that had begun to blow, and she found herself twirling around, hair flying around her  as she did so. Victoria let out a small laugh as she watched Alexandra let herself go, the business casual clothing she wore seemed all the more inappropriate on the young woman whose heart was anything but business and casual. It was a sound Alexandra came to love hearing, knowing that whatever she was doing or had done was enough to make her smile, and that was all she hoped for. Charming people was something that drove Alexandra to her core, wanting their attention and acceptance, though the two didn’t always work together in conjunction.

❝ My girlhood was the rot that comes from candy       lollipops stuck to pavement   chapstick that started on someone else's lips.❞

Alexandra Rossessen | seventeen (I) | The Quarrel Club | Sophie Turner | open

Alexandra's mind splits in two: on one hand, she has the brain of a genius, spinning like a golden clockwork that never breathes, never stops, never gets to experience exhaustion; on the other hand, completely electrocuted pink glue with an intense hunger for all that's childish and dramatic. Although she can never pay attention to the same thing for long, due to her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, there are two wide subjects that challenge and engage her: science and uncredited rumors — and nothing short on that. A contradiction, a series of paradoxes and lies, she was thrown into a situation only maturity would know how to carry, being sent two years early to university — a prodigy crown she never asked for, but would wear proudly, chin up and enthusiasm spread all across her ruby red lips. Due to skipping so many steps in the process of her own maturity, she froze in an early state, mind brilliant, but still green and unprepared despite that. Being treated as an adult since turning sixteen, she never had the occasion to grow up, staying fresh, but so infantile and obnoxious. Through her previous teachers' constant praising and pride in her, she bloomed with arrogance and the idea that everything she could ever say is interesting and worth listening to is carved so deeply in the back of her head that she chooses to never shut up and turn insufferable, grinning when called so, because, to Alexandra, everything is a joke, a game, a fairy tale. She was bored, even in Oxford, when she created the gossip blog that brought her more fame than the fact that she was underage and on campus as a student already. Although nowhere did it state that she was the one behind the pseudonym Ace, from the caustic manner of the articles and the natural snark in the language used, as well as the general interest in what the others are doing has a high-schoolesque vibe that only Alexandra could have brought with her to the well-respected and prestigious university. Yet, childish or not, everybody fell for the blog and they are all hooked on reading the writings and silly opinions of a teenager, allegedly. How could they not, when she is so spirited and knows exactly how to phase a sentence so it would cut and make them bleed, even though she is the youngest at the moment? There is something addicting to the concept and, with them all being self-centered people who did, in fact, care about what the echoes said about their personality, it was a recipe that granted success. Regarding the rumors of her being behind the keyboard, orchestrating the whispers and adding fuel to the fire most times, she neither denies nor confirms it, flashing her eyebrows playfully or perhaps shrugging on some days, but everybody knows it, and her vagueness has nothing to do with secrecy rather than wanting to keep them on their toes. The genius child has always lived in the perfect scenery, with a house with a pool, friends enough to fill her large backyard — at least until she lost all of them, two somewhat decent parents who somewhat cared and everything she could ever ask for already waiting for her home by the time she thought to ask for it — but it all left her empty, so she started lying. The habit formed at around twelve years old and it implied making up the most ridiculous possible stories and beleiving in them with such fire that they became her truth she would convince almost anybody of. She earns nothing from it other than pure pleasure watching their credulous, gullible faces get tricked, but it is easily worth the trouble. Frankly, she doesn't even know how to converse with people if it doesn't involve a little white lie about how the headmaster is her uncle or how the queen once shook her hand and predicted that she would become a big Hollywood star. Her only social skill is lying, but she does it with such charm and interest that it captivates people and keeps them interested, no matter if they have guessed the false nature of everything coming out of her mind or not. Being part of the Quarrel Club is an honor she didn't expect and, regardless of her attempts trying to be casual about being paired with Oxford's top women — all tall, beautiful, intelligent, mature and eye-catching — she is completely flattered and confused about her implications in the group. Despite her playful nature, she spares the girls the act most times during official meetings, wanting to be serious too and wanting to belong, as, back home, she used to be all alone, with no friends to lean her head against the shoulders of. Because of her intelligence and wit, all the children found it easy to make jokes and laugh behind her back and in front of her, causing Alexandra to close off and grow derisive, mean skin as protection. Yet, Oxford is the time for new beginnings, and nothing of the old Alex Rossessen remained when she made up Ace — funny, effervescent, radiant and charming in such an unique way it blinded.

Arabella Windsor Arabella doesn’t have much respect for the younger girl, but she has to give her credits for the amount of gossip she manages to snatch and her dedication to share it with such meticulousness. As a person who has always enjoyed the whispers and rumor spreading, Arabella is grateful that there are people sharing her passion and Alexandra doesn’t mind her company. Frankly, she would be more than happy to discuss trivial topics such as other people and what the word goes with anybody at all, no matter if they are the subject of her gossip or simply as curious as Arabella seems to be — even when it comes to her own person, without even taking offence in all the blackened words aimed at her. Nicolas Mercer Alexandra is the only ones he couldn’t possibly fake liking the company of. She might be younger than him by far, but it is not like he sees her as a potential target anyway. The two met as a result of her catching him lying and recognizing potential that looked just like what was lying inside her heart as well. The two hit it off rightaway and just as she is a little sister following him all the way to Oxford to him, Alexandra sees the big brother she never had and a shoulder to lean on in him, which is something she never had before and never imagined she would find, as she has always felt pretty different from everybody else and as if nobody deserves her friendship. Now, the two liars — one more at peace with her doings than the other — go out together, having teamed up and taking the lying game to a whole new level, even if they don’t need fake identities to get into most of the parties and even if causing a staged scene eventually causes them to get kicked out of the club earlier than planned. It’s entertaining and something both of them do to keep themselves away from becoming dusty. Victoria de Terreros Closer to her age than about anybody else, Alexandra finds it easy to get close to the duchess, who feels the same about the other girl. Though the two aren't friends in the true meaning of the word, Victoria believes that the red head is worth writing books about and endlessly fascinating, even though, overall, bad influence. Yet, she can't help but seek her company and look at her with admiration — one of a different sort than what she feels for Cordelia, which has more to do with her responsible side than the one that longs for freedom and a change. Alexandra realizes how vulnerable and innocent Victoria is, and ironically, for some reason, she doesn't think she is able to fool her too the way she fools most people she knows. Truth be told, she is an easy target and Alexandra cares to cheat those who could hypothetically tell they are being cheated, which seems to be her Achilles' heel and personal weakness. Dexter Carraway It all started when her website was hacked and she didn't know what to do, so she went to Dexter for help, for his well-known reputation among computers. Of course that he managed to recover the gossip blog almost instantly — after all, it was him who caused its fall, although Alexandra wasn't told that. It's just that she always messes with everybody and Dexter wanted, for once, to see her as the one messed with, for once, and teach her a lesson. Alexandra didn't learn much from it, truth be told, but she believes that he owes the man, so she is determined to let him get away with the sort of stuff she would post in a heartbeat for a while, as a thank you.

Could Bella Thorne or Katherine McNamara work as a replacement fc for Alexandra Rossessen?

Hello! Yes, I believe either of those faceclaims would capture Alexandra Rossessen perfectly. I’m happy you are thinking about her.

[oxfordeliterp]

i don't mean any disrepespect from this at all, since this rp is absolutely 100% lovely, but i just feel as tho a lot of these connections are very stricle heterosexual/hetereonmornative. do u have any lgbtq+ characters at all?

You are not disrespectful in any way. I understand your concern and yes, there are LGBTQ+ characters in the roleplay group that aren’t just hinted at (because any of the characters can have any sexuality the player sees fit, but these are canonically LGBTQ+), namely: 

Aria Bellefonte (exclusively homosexual as portrayed in the biography, but could be approached as a pansexual/bisexual etc; has been in a secret relationship with Elizabeth Pemberly which is the main hold of the plot), 

Elizabeth Pemberly (canonically bisexual, but nonplayable, howsoever), 

Alexandra Rossessen (whose only connection that hints at a romantic interest is Victoria de Terreros), 

Victoria de Terreros (whose biography touches pansexuality and who falls easily in love with anybody at all), 

Gwendolyn Armstrong (see: interest in Lauren Hastings)

Miles Kenilsworth (who can either be homosexual, judging from the Sophia connection, or bisexual at best)

Jamie Heather (who is bisexual and currently interested in seducing Miles Kenilsworth)

Charlotte Zerilli (whose entire biography hints asexuality)

I would also like to mention that there is a sexuality & gender identity section in the application that is entirely up to the player if you see any of the other characters in the roleplay group to be anything other than heterosexual/cis. The connections are just there to get us started and I wouldn’t lean too much on them, so if you have a different view on the character you are considering applying for, don’t hesitate to mention it!

Could Danielle Campbell work as an fc for Alexandra?

I can’t see why not. She would be a lovely face to see on the dashboard and she does have that mischievous air Alexandra is supposed to have. 

[oxfordeliterp]

alt fc for Alexandra? Kat Mcnamara or Madelaine Petsch?

Both would make a beautiful Alexandra, though I believe Kat captures her spirit better. Ultimately, it’s up to who you would see work better.

(+1) application for Alexandra Rossessen

[oxfordeliterp]

Would Maia Mitchell work for Alexandra?

Of course! She would work wonderfully for our junior, and we would all be excited to have her on the dashboard, I am sure. I am happy you are considering her!

[oxfordeliterp]

I am currently working on two apps for this because I honestly love the rp and characters, but can't decide between these two! Who would you like to see more Victoria or Alexandra?

It’s filling my heart with joy to hear that. Honestly? The one you prefer is the one I prefer, because I want you to have the most possible muse for your character, but if you are truly torn, I would personally sell my soul for a Victoria de Terreros at the moment. Yet, if you ask me later, I might change my answer because I honestly adore both of them. 

[oxfordeliterp]

What are your favorite ships in the rp?

Frankly, I love all of them. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have written them, but if we were talking favorites, I believe it has to be a tie between Jacob/Lana, Lucas/Cordelia, and Alexandra/Victoria. Another dynamic (rather than ship) I am excited to see played out would be Lucas and Lauren’s fake relationship.

[oxfordeliterp]

how many more characters do you have to post?

Hey! That would be six more characters, namely Aiden Stafford (Alfred Enoch faceclaim),  Alexandra Rossessen (Sophie Turner faceclaim), Charlotte Zerilli (Shay Mitchell faceclaim), Dexter Carraway (Tyler Blackburn faceclaim), Lucas Lockwood (Robert Pattinson faceclaim), and Sophia Clare (Paulina Singer faceclaim, who will be, howsoever, posted as a taken character). Thank you for your interest!
