[randomestfandoms-ocs]

New OCs

(for real this time with headers and actual info)

RWRB

Cleopatra Okonjo –

Pez's twin. Model, socialite, influencer, heavily involved in Pez's charities. Rich brat with a heart of gold, black cat to Pez's golden retriever, would stab someone for Henry at any given moment, somehow an even worse influence than Pez, she and Alex should never be left alone together because they have the combined self restraint of a rabid squirrel

Danielle Walters (x Shaan & Zahra)–

Oscar's chief of staff, has been an honorary part of the family for years. She and Zahra are the only reason the country is surviving Ellen & Oscar's divorce, handle all political communication for them

Estella Mountchristen-Windsor –

Henry & Phillip & Bea's cousin, her mom is Catherine's younger sister. Lives at Kensington with her cousins not because she's supposed to but because it always feels so big and empty there and they enjoy the company. Bratty socialite party girl, nicknamed the Tabloid Princess for how often her scandals make the cover of various tabloids. She does love to drink and party and make terrible life choices but what people don't notice is how often her biggest scandals just happen to overshadow her cousins' problems and how she uses the paparazzi to distract both Mary and the british press from their secrets

Possible Pez ship, or possibly just chaotic best friends who enjoy hooking up

Flynn Caldwell (x Eileen Eisner) –

Famous actor, frequently accused of being a nepo baby because his mom was a famous popstar when she was younger, but he is genuinely very talented. First met Eileen Eisner when they were little kids doing a TV show together and every few years they find themselves in another project together (usually as love interests). Has a history of substance abuse issues that he has not really dealt with but has been trying to stay sober since Eileen went to rehab.

Everyone's favourite celebrity couple even though there has never been any confirmation of a relationship between them

Fraser Montgomery (x FirstPrince) –

Only son of an important family of some sort, went to Eton and Oxford with Henry & Pez, was Henry's favourite hookup throughout school

they stayed in touch but not close, start hooking up again during rwrb because Henry is trying to ignore his feelings for Alex but accidentally starts developing real feelings for Fraser along the way, he comes to the New Year's party and totally hits it off with Alex but keeps it totally platonic with just some flirting because he knows how Henry feels, turns poly along the way

Josephine Fitzroy –

Martha's twin sister. Child actress whose first job was playing James Bond's secret daughter alongside Arthur Fox, has stayed extremely close with the Fox-Mountchristen-Windsors. She continued to act but went to university to study public relations and ended up working for the crown, specifically managing all social media, public appearances, and media engagements for the royal children on behalf of Queen Mary. After Cakegate, she is responsible for planning and staging the entire fake friendship between Henry & Alex (even though she wants to murder Alex & Henry for ruining her sister's wedding), is one of the only people who knows about their relationship and is the first person to know because Henry tells her immediately. Was the first person Henry came out to and every few months after that they let themselves get pictured on a "date" to keep the public assuming that they're together so they won't question why Henry has never had a real girlfriend

Juliet Fox –

Daughter of Arthur Fox's younger sibling, both of her parents died when she was a toddler and she was taken in by her Aunt and Uncle and raised with her cousins – who just happen to be royalty. Accidental travel influencer and full time president of the Mary Hate Club, Juliet still lives with her cousins and gets dragged along to all of their royal engagements despite Mary's many, many objections.

Marcie Turner –

Cash's daughter, Alex's very very mentally ill best friend, recently out of the hospital, 24/7 with him. Alex sort of put himself in charge of her recovery but what neither of them mention is that really she's there to help him because needing to keep track of her helps him take better care of himself too, only Cash knows the full story

he can't skip meals/lose track of time when he's taking care of a girl recovering from an eating disorder, he can't run until he collapses when he's running with a girl who used to run until she passed out, he can't stay up all night on research binges when he shares a room with a girl who needs rest to help her body heal, etc. Officially she's Alex's best friend, media-speculated girlfriend, and his "keeper" to help him balance election work, first son duties, and his senior year, unofficially Alex is fucked up from her being hospitalized and taking care of her helps, even less officially, she's he's self proclaimed therapy dog because taking care of her helps him take care of himself

Sofía Diaz – 

Alex & June's cousin on Oscar's side, Sofía has always adored both of her cousins. She idolizes June and Alex has always been her best friend. She's a psych student and Georgetown University and, until Ellen won the election, she and Alex had been planning on getting an apartment and going to school together. Has a complicated relationship with Ellen because of the divorce but still loves her, ends up getting the campaign communications job that Ellen tried to give June

Percy Jackson

Aderyn –

daughter of Aeolus from the time of the odyssey – might have joined Odesseus' crew after Aeolus gave him the bag of winds tbd – but Athena is mad at Aeolus for Odysseus' voyage being sent way off course by the winds, can't actually punish him so instead sends his daughter "off course" aka thousands of years into the future, she's been living in her father's palace because he wants to protect her but she ends up joining Jason's quest in Lost Hero

(no header bc face is still tbd – working through some options rn)

Loralie Lovelace –

Daughter of Aphrodite and a sorceress, Circe's apprentice and a devoted follower of Hecate. Gets captured on the pirate ship along with Hylla and Reyna and is stuck on the ship for a few years before she can finally escape and, to her absolute shock, crosses paths with Percy Jackson once again

Maliah –

child of a sea deity – poseidon or someone else tbd – from the crew of the original argo. Pretended to be a man to join the crew, eventually her secret is revealed. It is eventually decided to let her stay but a few of the crew members are not okay with that and throw her overboard in the Sea of Monsters (drowned but didn't really drown because of her parent), spat back out during Sea Of Monsters and meets Percy & Annabeth & Tyson, or possibly meets Clarisse instead

(no header bc face is still tbd – head empty for potential faces)

Romilly Chase (x Jason & Reyna) –

Annabeth's twin sister, left behind when Annabeth ran away, eventually also ended up running away and after a while got found by Roman demigods and taken to camp Jupiter, never claimed because Athena knows that the Romans would despise her if they knew who she was (whether they knew that she was Greek or saw her as a child of Minerva)

Starts dating Jason and Reyna somewhere between Battle Of The Labyrinth and Last Olympian, doesn't properly see Annabeth until Mark of Athena and it's extremely messy

Might have her own Labyrinth quest at the same time as Annabeth's but paths just don't cross, tbd

American Housewife

Channing "Chaney" Lambert (x Oliver & Cooper) –

Only child of the second richest family in Westport (her family and the Bradfords act friendly in public but it's very fake and they hate each other, she and Cooper are very much not supposed to be friends), local princess and she knows it

Her parents want her to aspire to be a trophy wife but she Does Not want that (unless it's Cooper but then he would be her trophy husband tbh), she either wants to go to Harvard because Legally Blonde or Yale because of Gilmore Girls & Gossip Girl, rich princess vibes, dancer (first becomes friends with Oliver through dance, has always been friends with Cooper even though they aren't supposed to be), kind of just wants to go insane and stop fitting the perfect mold that her parents want for her but that's not really an option

Katie doesn't really like her because she thinks she's just a vapid spoiled brat, she gets along alright with Greg, absolutely worships Taylor

Liv Otto –

Oliver’s twin sister, influencer, Katie hates it and insists that it’s not a real or viable career. Started as some vlogs (LifeWithLiv), first day at a new school stuff, picking an outfit for it, mostly just something to keep her friends from before in the loop but then people start to notice and she really blew up until it became a brand and business. She feels very real and is very open and honest about how scared she is of being new and trying to find a balance between being herself and being someone who belongs in westport, it resonates with people really well

She and Cooper are definitely besties, he's the number one person showing up in her videos, for sure the three of them (her and cooper and oliver) live together after high school

Nicholas Banks (x Joan De Loughrey) –

Single dad, divorced years ago. Got very rich in app development and moved to Westport (might have a son, have a face in mind, tbd), people liked him because of his money but he really never felt like he belonged. Meets Joan while she is going through a very messy divorce with a husband who won't stop flaunting his various mistresses (while treating her like shit in the divorce process), they go on a few spite dates which turns into very real feelings

Glee

Maci Reeves –

Raised by a single mother who moves a lot for her job (job tbd, Maci loves her mom but they aren't very close and her mom rarely has time for her), s2 freshman

Has been in glee clubs at every school she’s been at (if the school didn’t have a club she started it), her last school won junior nationals. Moves to Lima before s2, immediately determined to join the new directions, Rachel tries to send her to the crackhouse too but after Rachel gave her that address she went to Will to tell him how excited she was for auditions, wanted to ask if there were any requirements (dance portion, any specific song styles, etc), when she’s leaving his office she tries to confirm the time/address and he’s like “um wtf no it’s in the auditorium”

Dustin Goolsby keeps trying to recruit her for vocal adrenaline but she doesn’t want to commute

+ Kacey Brice (recast)

Previously Maci Brice, one of Carla's younger sisters (13 in season 1)

(and again special thanks to @ginevrastilinski-ocs & @the-witching-ash for helping me sort out some of the details and turning a lost of confused vibes into actual ocs)

This annual publication celebrates the extraordinary achievements of women who are breaking barriers in their respective fields and inspiring transformational change in their communities and across the continent.

Representing 32 African countries, the 2024 list highlights the diversity and impact of African women leaders, with Nigeria leading with 22 honorees, followed by Kenya with 12, South Africa with 7, and Rwanda with 5. The honorees span an array of sectors, including business, diplomacy, governance, entertainment, media, sports, philanthropy, and more.

The list also features two female presidents, six female vice presidents, one Prime Minister, one Deputy United Nations Secretary-General, and one Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission. These achievements mark a historic milestone for women in leadership across the continent and in global governance, showcasing Africa as a rising force for gender equity and empowerment.

Among the top honorees are Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, the Director-General of the World Trade Organization, H.E. Samia Suluhu Hassan, the President of Tanzania, Angélique Kidjo, the Grammy-winning artist and activist, Fariba Nabourema Togolese activist and Bitcoin advocate, and Senator Dr Rasha Kelej, the CEO of Merck Foundation.

By amplifying the stories of these influential women, we seek to inspire policy shifts, organizational reforms, and grassroots efforts to empower women and girls.
