@patrickian and i think also @whenwinterfell tagged me <3 (and also @railroad-charmer whose recent own post of this reminded me i had this in my drafts heh)
Nickname: None! Both bc i'm not gonna tell u but also like 1) we don't reeeaaallly do nicknames here and 2) both Bo and my birthname are too short for shortened versions. But ig Sea? No one has called me Sea yet but it's there!
Zodiac: Pisces. Moon? Sun? idk. i'm a March kid.
Height: 1.68m babeyyy
Last movie I saw: Rewatch of Dogma! Still good. Can deffo see their comedic influences from Good Omens and Douglas Adams. Since I drafted this my latest film was a first watch of Donnie Darko. I really liked it!!
Last thing I googled: The cast of Pride 2014, bc i forgot George MacKay's name and a dude in a youth party debate i was watching looked like an off brand version of him lol
Favourite Musician: Right now? Dizraeli
Song stuck in my head: Soldiers by Delara
Other blogs: Nada
Blogs following: 184
Amount of sleep: fuck if i know, my rhythm is whack atm
Lucky number: 9! also my favourite number. i love 9.
What am I wearing: a brown t-shirt that says "Fred, Kjærleik, og Resirkulering", a pair of woolen black shorts, and a black hoodie with my Folkehøyskole name & logo on.
Dream job: I do not know lmaoooo i don't really have long term dreams these days. Just vibing i guess. I do want a job, i just don't have a dream job.
Dream trip: I'm gonna copy Patrick and say New Zealand! Also wanna do another summer train trip but focus more on eastern Europe. And ofc go back to Ireland to visit friends, but that WILL happen, not really a dream. Just a plan!
Favourite food: Anything ovenbaked and cheesy. OOh and i genuinely love reindeer uh.... skav? For anyone who can read this: steike reinsdyrskav og løk og hvitløk, tilsette rømme, salt & pepper, kanskje timian hvis du har, føkkings MWAH fantastisk elsker det.
Play an instrument: I played the saxophone in a school band for 8+ years! reckon i still could, yeah. I still have my notes, just not a sax.
Languages: English and Norwegian. Passing knowledge of Danish and Swedish, can kind of read Icelandic given enough time, know very basic Spanish and Irish.
Favourite Songs: Right now?? Fuck uuuh.... I Freak Out by Dizraeli i guess.
Random fact: I used to collect elephant things. Little statues, keychains, whatever. Recently found a portion of them in my dad's basement, but they had been colonized by some kind of insect :(
Describe yourself as aesthetic things: Good, long, warm hugs, cool & dry winter mornings in the sun, lazy evenings doing nothing on a couch, pints at an old grubby pub while people watching, old heavy scrangly trams in cerulean blue, ticket stubs from 2005 when they cost 15kr, museum exhibitions meant for kids.

>:) Personality + Background for Helena, Basics + Appearance for Erin
YES thank u... vampire time
Helena
PERSONALITY
What’s their alignment?
Probably neutral good ehehehe
What are their hobbies and interests? Do they have any particular “favorites” (food, books, and so on)?
Her number one passion is acting, it’s not really a hobby since she does it professionally (or is trying to lol).. She enjoys learning history though, especially the mid-18th century :^) Also music, corny movies, she’s also a huge sims fan >:)
As for her favorites uhhh her favorite band is My Chemical Romance DUH, fav movies are Shakespeare in Love, Valley of The Dolls (yeah ik it sucks),... Shark Tale.... aaaaand her favorite food is fries. Or it was, she can’t eat it anymore :(
What are they bad at?
Within the game’s mechanics and all that.. she’s not much good in a fight (thank u faelike background). She’s still significantly stronger than the average human of course, but very fragile for vampire standarts :/ Noodle arms bitch
Do they have any vices/addictions/mental illnesses?
None that I can think of
What are their goals and motivations?
Before her embrace it was to become a famous actress.. which isn’t possible anymore, she’s still craving that kind of lifestyle though. She grew up not being very well off and not being very popular either, so it’s kinda... wanting to be someone important? Like that Will Smith fish from shark tale :)
What are their manners like? Any habits?
She’s rather well-mannered, not exactly posh but she doesn’t do anything weird in public either.. usually.
What are they most afraid of?
irrelevance... something like that :/
BACKGROUND
Where were they born? What was their childhood like?
She’s originally from San Francisco, grew up with a single mom and her younger sister. They weren’t very well off so her mom had to work a lot, it was pretty much just her and her sister :/ She wasn’t very popular either so she made only few friends in school, it was lonely :(
What’s their family like?
Her mom Jenny is a nice lady, very goal-oriented.. she was very popular in high school, which is how she met Helena’s dad. He’s originally from germany and comes from a long line of vampire hunters and religious zealots (Society of Leopold hoes..), doesn’t really know anything about it though. His family are just a bunch of weird catholics. They had two children, miss Helena & her little Sister, Elizabeth before he divorced his wife and fucked off 👋. He cut off all contact and doesn’t pay child support bc he’s a freak. Also Elizabeth is currently studying law somewhere, their mother insisted they make something of themselves >:(
What factions or organizations are they a part of? What ranks and titles do they hold?
She’s with the camarilla, mostly due to the fact that Christian is in it too. She came to them all starry-eyed because the other members were all sexy, powerful and rich vampires which is pretty much what she wants to be like lmao.. She works directly for Lacroix, kinda like the fledgling except with better pay, slightly less shitty jobs and a tiny bit more respect (only a tiny bit everyone still thinks she’s dumb af). She just has to run small errants lol. There’s no official rank or title though lol.
She’s not really loyal to them or anything and quickly becomes disillusioned by it all. Vampire society is fucked up... she kinda starts spending more time with the Hollywood anarchs because toreador solidarity, doesn’t join their cause though. The anarchs can’t stand her lmao. She’s really mostly independent...
How do they fit into their “story”?
She’s just your good ol’ regular La Croy foundations employee, she was initially my fledgling but I don’t want Christian (her sire) to die, I suppose she’s just like.. there.. idk its kind of a wip
Where do they currently live? What’s their place like?
She has that little apartment in downtown LA during the events of bloodlines :^) It’s a nice place, modern interior and all that... she does miss her old apartment with the victorian furniture though :(( Post bloodlines she probably leaves LA after the whole thing with Lacrosse lol... she’s friends with Ash now they can go on a road trip or something
How do they eventually die?
she doesn’t... shes a vampire >:)
Erin
BASICS
What’s their full name?
Cassandra Erin Winters :~)
What does their name mean? Why were they named that?
Cassandra (from greek “to excel, to shine “) is a little nod to the seer Cassandra, who appears somewhere in her bloodline :^) In-universe it’s one of those names that appear throughout her family.. there are a bunch of important great-grandmothers, aunts and other relatives so her parents named her that to make it look like they’re an important dynasty or something. Rich people bs. Erin is an english derivative of the irish word for.. Ireland lmao. It was just one of those names that were popular in the early 80′s and her mother liked it, there’s no real reason behind it!
Do they have any nicknames?
jhdfjhfd Cammy by Damsel even though she helped them out 😒 also “Newbie” by her bf sdkjskjdf romance ❤
How old are they?
22 in 2004, I suppose she’s 37 in 2020 aka during the events of bloodlines 2
When’s their birthday?
December 13th, 1982
What’s their zodiac sign/element/birthstone/etc.? Do they believe that holds any significance?
I had to take a whole quiz for this but she’s a Sagittarius 😌 I’d say it definitely does lol... she reads her horoscope almost daily
What’s their species/subspecies? Do they have any special/magical abilities?
Vampire lol... specifically of clan Malkavikan. As for magical abilities yknow, typical vampire stuff, plus the voices & Malkavian insight and all that. Her abilities are Auspex and Obfuscate :^)
What “class” do they belong to (for fantasy characters)? If none, what weapon do they favor?
No class but her favorite weapon was the axe she found in the haunted hotel
APPEARANCE
What do they look like?
goddd.... small, pretty blonde, pale skin bc she’s dead, yellow-ish eyes (used to be blue)... big eyes, sliightly overplucked eyebrows bc it’s 2004 :( she’s still cute though
Do they have a face claim?
Mostly Bella Heathcote and Christina Ricci in one image I found on pinterest lol.. I never have faceclaims that are 100% what they look like :(
What’s their style like? Clothes, hair, makeup?
goddd jt was pretty much regular late 90s/early 2000s popular girl before her embrace.. short skirts, juicy tracksuits, tube tops, those awful tinted glasses, coats with fake fur. Her hair was often in those late 90′s updos with a few streaks hanging loose in the front... makeup is just regular looks from the time, lipgloss, frosty eyeshadow and all that 🤢 she’s a big fan of turtleneck sweaters though 😌
It’s still the same but a bit more fucked up post-embrace because she’s just like go crazy aaahh go stupid aaahhh and digs out some of her weirder clothes because half of these vampire bitches wear dumber clothes than her anyway... an old white lace dress that looks like it’s from the early 1900s or something like that... her standard outfits are still low-rise jeans with tank tops and those giant early 2000s shoes though, she just adds in a few weird looking clothes for fun sometimes
How do they carry themselves? What’s their default expression?
Honestly she looks like this emoji 😳 most of the time, Malkavian voices, weird doomsday visions and all that... She had a very cheerful attitude before her embrace and it still shows sometimes, most of the time it’s kinda weird though :(
Do they have any physical ailments or disabilities?
nope!

Answer the questions and tag people you want to know better
Name: Clara
Nickname: I don’t have, like, a short-form-version-of-my-name-type-nickname but I’ve kind of always wanted one hehe. My family sometimes calls me Miss Boo or Boo, and Cricket.....I have a dear friend who calls me Duck.... you can make a nickname up for me and use it if you want, I love nicknames. ^u^
Zodiac: Jake Gyllenhaal. That’s Tracy’s answer but I’m keeping it because it’s perfect and makes me laugh.
Height: 5'5″. I made it to my goal of being taller than my mother. *fistpumps* Is it only by one inch? Maybe.
Languages: English, sarcasm, movie quotes, and I can recognize some numbers and maybe a dozen words in Spanish.
Nationality: American
Favourite Season: Autumn and Spring. The beautiful transition of both, the transformations in nature and the atmosphere and people’s moods.... *dreamy sigh* ❤ Autumn would probably win if I was forced to pick between the two.
Favourite Flower: Oh, my friends. SO MANY. Peonies and sunflowers and roses and daisies and ranunculus and lilacs and dahlias and camellias and tulips and hollyhocks and zinnias and daffodils and irises and black eyed susans and violets and pansies and apple blossoms and cherry blossoms and wisteria and lilies and magnolias and dogwood flowers and sweetpeas and lavender and foxgloves and poppies and delphiniums and forsythia and and and and I just love all the flowers. ^u^ ❤
Favourite Animal: I love animals, period, with a few exceptions, but dogs and horses and cats have always been especially special to me. ❤
Favourite Scent: Again. So many. !!!! I really like warm scents? Like baked goods and comfort food and my dog’s fur and chocolate and the smell of my home....but I also really enjoy citrusy aromas too. Lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit. And then there’s sun-dried laundry....and lavender, lilacs....and the ocean....the smell of rain....the forest...... I’m a real sensory person so I could be here for a g e s.
Favourite Fictional Character: Eggsy Unwin, y’all. ❤ But then Steve Rogers and Sam Winchester too. ❤
Tea/Coffee/Hot Chocolate: Tea please. ^u^ Though I do love me some hot chocolate. Coffee is whatever.
Average Sleep: Ehhhh…..idk.....7 hours?? It really depends on how well my self-control is operating on a given night haha, though right now I mostly have the freedom to sorta cover those poor choices by sleeping in, what with quarantine and all. :P
Favourite Colour: Yellow is my very favorite, but I just love colors in general.
Dogs or Cats: Dogs. But see favorite animal answer.
Number of Blankets: That I own?? That I sleep under?? Be specific, Tumblr. ;) I sleep under a sheet, a duvet on top of that, and I throw a quilt on if it’s real cold. But I really enjoy being cozy and have a fairly decent collection of other various blankets.
Dream Trip: The UK, Ireland, Hawaii with Tracy please ❤, I’ve always dreamed of roadtripping the U.S, France, Italy, NZ, Australia...y’know....basically everywhere. The more history there is in a place the more I wanna visit.
Blog Established: Oh man. I’ve been on here since...2013. Holy crap? Had one url (shoutout to pearlsinaclamshell you’re still mine and you’re still special to me) and many loves for the first 6 years and then late last summer Taron Egerton happened to me and nothing’s been the same since tbh.
Random Fact: I have curly hair and a pretty freakin good? good singing voice. #TwoFactsForThePriceOfOne
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Hetero
Harry Potter Moral Compass: I’m not even going to dignify this confounding question with a response. Once again, stealing my Brain Twin’s response because same.
Where Are You From? California, U.S.A.
Why Did You Start This Blog? So many good and important and wonderful reasons haha. ^u^ To share an AU Fic idea with Tracy. To be a part of a sweet, fun, beautiful, talented group of humans from all over the world who loved a thing I loved as much as I did. I stay because that sense of sweet community and togetherness is always here through shifting loves, and for new friends and old. I’m here because of the openness to love and freak out over and babble about and crush on the things and people I love and freak out over and babble about and crush on with as much vivacity and passion and silliness and loudness as I please with zero judgement because we’re all trash for Our Fave(s) and it’s a beautiful wonderful amazing thing. ❤ Sister Wife, your answer was so much more succinct and eloquent than this ramble-fest what the heck.
Most Recent Album Played: Dude, I don’t even know....I’ve been listening to playlists and Pandora stations so much today and lately...…I think my Elton John Diamonds disc 1, which is like a greatest hits album basically, and the first disc of it is my favorite. ^u^ ^u^ ^u^
Thanks for the tag, My Girl! @taronunwin ❤I nominate my Sweet T @djjarindin My Pineapple @noturbaby, if you gals wanna participate. ❤

Ouch, I really can't pick just one, y u do dis to meeee (but I'd like to hear 'bout Cat, Vanni and Shylia) ((Also hiiiii I was kinda absent for a long time lol how are you doing))
I'm doing absolutely lovely, I hope the same for you too friendo💕!! prepare yourself for a LONG POST!
Cat:
1) She's not one to get flustered often, or at all really. She'll happily accept a compliment!
2) She moved schools a lot growing up! Always getting expelled and needing to relocate 😔
3) She's pretty horrible at makeup, it's never been fun for her but she totally respects the craft
4) She had a crush of Prince waaaay before he was interested in her in that way
5) She's kind of an ambivert. Cat doesn't have trouble talking with people but the bigger the crowd she has to interact with, the more tired she gets of socializing
6) Cat is an only child and longs to have younger siblings
7) She was born in Ireland, but has never gone back to visit distant family there
8) She can do a really good irish accent since she grew up around her totally irish parents! She's good at imitating accents in general (cant really draw this so it must forever stay in my head alone)
9) Cat got her own place as soon as she turned 18, and works her ass off to keep a roof over her head. She never had time for college!
10) Cats hair is naturally curly but she hates her curls! She straightens her hair on the daily!!
Vanni:
1) I made Vanni years ago but as he grew as a character, I took inspiration from James (End of the F***ing World) and Ayano (Yandere Simulator)!
2) He has tons of "friends" from the deep web, basically just people he trusts to do good business with him. He chats with them often!
3) His parents are kinda freaked out by him but they love their son and he respects them so it all works out??
4) Vanni works best in silence or very quiet classical tunes!
5) He's pretty tech savy, ya gotta git gud if u wanna keep the baddies from finding ur Ip Adress amiright
6) Vanni goes out to gay bars pretty often, he likes to "meet" guys ;]
7) growing up he spent lots of time in therapy.. it did him no good
8) he also wasn't allowed to have pets in the house cause they all ended up getting hurt pretty easily. hmm, wonder why.. 🤔
9) His english is far better than his parents, so he often waits tables, answers calls, and does all the social parts of his job at his parents restaurant, while they do most of the cooking
10) ^^^ Vanni still has a very noticeable italian accent though, and he definitely uses this to woo guys who have a thing for accents
Shylia:
1) She has a lisp that she used to get teased about when she was younger, but now she'll beat anyone who tries to make fun of it (though most people don't, knowing that)
2) Shylia has a step father and step sister that she doesn't care for in the slightest. Her birth mother and step father are aware of this and spoil her so she won't ruin their relationship
3) Shylia is very gay and very experienced with relationships, she doesn't settle for one night stands
4) She has a car and drives everywhere, but also knows how to longboard!
5) Her preferred instrument is drums, but she knows how to play guitar, bass, and keyboard (she's just not too great at it)
6) Her singing voice is like this!
7) Shylia also stayed back a year (in the 8th grade), when her mom and step father got married they honestly didn't pay attention to her in the slightest so she just never went to school or did any work
8) She bought Jane her infamous shiney red electric guitar!
9) Shylia totally had a crush on Jane when they first became friends, Jane never found out tho cause Shylia very chill around people, even her crushes. Shylia never told her cause she knew Jane wouldn't be interested, and at the time she could tell Jane didn't know she was bi
10) Shylia likes to think she has a perfect gaydar (she lowkey does tho)

“hi, I’m not from the US” ask set
given how Americanized this site is, it’s important to celebrate all our countries and nationalities - with all their quirks and vices and ridiculousness, and all that might seem strange to outsiders. ^^^Found that and I wanted to give it a try :) ! My country is Canada. I live in Québec, which means there’s a lot of French influence. HERE I GOOOOO
1. favourite place in your country? Montréal at night. Depending on where you are, things can either be really peaceful or really energetic. Although I’m not fond of living in that city, the years I spent there during college were just out of this world. It’s a feeling I never want to forget.
2. do you prefer spending your holidays in your country or travel abroad? I’ve never spent holidays abroad. I’ve always been in my country because, HAH, it snows so much that planes have difficulties taking off sometimes HAHAHA
3. does your country have access to sea? Yeh ! As Canada’s motto goes by: A Mari Usque Ad Mare. From Sea to Sea.
4. favourite dish specific for your country? POUTINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Especially when drunk, omfg.
5. favourite song in your native language? Daniel Bélanger - Les Deux Printemps / OR / Véronique Dicaire - Feel Happy and many more !
6. most hated song in your native language? OH GOD UHM ... so many? One for sure is Mes Aïeux - Dégénération ... that song was played everywhere FOR SO LONG AND I HATE IT SO MUCH. IT’S BORING AND REPETITIVE, JUST LIKE A FREAKING RIGODON. FFFFFUUUCCKKKK.
7. three words from your native language that you like the most? Tabarnack. Ciboire. Osti d’câlisse. .... ALL SWEAR WORDS.
8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom? WIth French from France, obviously :B !! But I don’t have the outrageous accent they have HAHA. When I speak English though sometimes my french accent comes out and people are always curious about my nationality whenever I go to the USA.
9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best? I MEAN. The only neighbouring country there is is the USA x’DDDD and I’ve visitied a couple of times. I want to go there more though :) !
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language? TABARNACK !!!!!
11. favourite native writer/poet? Alfred Desrochers. There’s probably more but he’s the first one to pop in my mind right now. I had to do an analysis of his work at University and I’ve fallen in love with his writing <3
12. what do you think about English translations of your favourite native prose/poem? Man, it sucks. HAHAHAH. I mean, French tends to be very poetic and uses a lot of words to describe one things; while English is very short and precise. It’s hard to convey certain feelings through that language :’T ... when I write in French, my paragraphs are way bigger than when I write in English x’D
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders? Hmmm, idk. My grandma has that weird thing going on that she can tell if the winter is going to be rough only by looking at onions throughout the summer/autumn. IT’S AN OLD THING.
14. do you enjoy your country’s cinema and/or TV? For humor, I have to agree that Québec has a very good sense of it. Otherwise, I think most TV shows and movies are shit. It’s poorly funded most of the time and they tend to be dramatic/family drama most of the time. It sucks balls and I’m bored of it. Québecers are thirsty for it though, holy fuck!
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with? That we’re all nice and polite and very accepting. Half bullshit, half truth. A lot of people here are very racist, but a good portion of them still have a good heart and will help others in times of need. Québec people are very family centered and heart-warming.
17. are you interested in your country’s history? Yes, although it’s very boring x’DDD
18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language? Of course I do ! I was raised in it HAHAHA
19. do you like your country’s flag and/or emblem? what about the national anthem? Yeah, it’s nice :) !! It’s nice that our anthem is both in French and English !
20. which sport is The Sport in your country? Hockey -_____________________-
21. if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be? Maple syrup and a flannel shirt HAHAHAHAHAHA

21 Questions
I was tagged by @4vrafangirl! Sorry for the delay in responding; I was trying to make sure that I hadn’t already filled this out!
Rules: Answer 21 questions and then tag 21 people who you want to get to know better.
Nickname: Tia is my most-common/most-used one!
Zodiac: Taurus in the Western Zodiac, and Boar in the Chinese Zodiac.
Height: 5′7″
Last movie I saw: Um... I’ve mostly been watching a lot of shows instead of movies... With that being the case, I’m pretty sure the last movie I saw was Into the Spider-Verse.
Last thing I googled: "unarmed strike 5e” - I was trying to refresh myself of the specifics of it while working on a new character for the campaign I run.
Favourite musician: My music tastes are pretty eclectic, but for the sake of answering this question, I’ll say Panic! At the Disco.
Song stuck in my head: Funnily enough, "L'amour est un oiseau rebelle.”
Other blogs: I’m actually in the process of re-working some of my side blogs, mostly because I used to have a lot more, but I recently decided to downsize. So, right now I have three semi-active ones.
@anerdscloset: Nerdy fashion. Mostly reblogs.
@decorating-perfection: Aesthetic and inspo blog.
@pretty--eats: Foodie blog.
Do I get asks: Occasionally, but not often. The most consistent time I have asks is when I’m accepting new prompts for @dadrunkwriting (which hasn’t happened in a while, to be quite honest).
Following: 703
Amount of sleep: I try to go for 6-7 hours each night, but I usually end up with 4-5 hours instead.
Lucky number: 3 and 7
What I’m wearing: A pajama set one of my grandmothers gifted me for Christmas.
Dream job: If I could make a consistent living from writing, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Dream trip: I would love to return to the Philippines, but I would also love to have an opportunity to visit Ireland.
Play any instruments: I used to play violin a long time ago, but it was when I was a kid that never wanted to practice and therefore stopped playing. Now I wish I had kept at it so that I could play Celtic music.
Languages: English is my primary language. I can follow conversations and media in Spanish, but my conversational skills are stilted because I’m always too shy to practice them. I can also pick out the barest minimum of Tagalog words and phrases because of my mom’s parents.
Favourite songs: As mentioned earlier, I’ve got pretty eclectic music tastes, but currently I’m living for Ariana Grande’s “thank u, next” because I just... I really needed this song after leaving my ex. (On a happier note, the Spider-Verse was freaking amazing, and I’ve had that on repeat on Spotify for a while.)
Random fact: On my mom’s side of the family, I’m the very first grandchild that was born :)
Describe yourself as aesthetic: Green and turquoise, starry nights, crystals, books, incense, dark lipsticks, winged eyeliner, chocolate, coffee and tea.
I’m going to go ahead and leave this as open-ended tag this time around!

Here is everything I know about France: Madeline and Amélie and Moulin Rouge. The Eiffel Tower and the Arc de Triomphe, although I have no idea what the function of either actually is. Napoleon, Marie Antoinette, and a lot of kings named Louis. I’m not sure what they did either, but I think it has something to do with the French Revolution, which has something to do with Bastille Day. The art museum is called the Louvre and it’s shaped like a pyramid and the Mona Lisa lives there along with that statue of the woman missing her arms. And there are cafés or bistros or whatever they call them on every street corner. And mimes. The food is supposed to be good, and the people drink a lot of wine and smoke a lot of cigarettes. I’ve heard they don’t like Americans, and they don’t like white sneakers. A few months ago, my father enrolled me in boarding school. His air quotes practically crackled over the phone line as he declared living abroad to be a “good learning experience” and a “keepsake I’d treasure forever.” Yeah. Keepsake. And I would’ve pointed out his misuse of the word had I not already Stephanie Perkins | 5 been freaking out. Since his announcement, I’ve tried yelling, begging, pleading, and crying, but nothing has convinced him otherwise. And now I have a new student visa and a passport, each declaring me: Anna Oliphant, citizen of the United States of America. And now I’m here with my parents—unpacking my belongings in a room smaller than my suitcase—the newest senior at the School of America in Paris. It’s not that I’m ungrateful. I mean, it’s Paris. The City of Light! The most romantic city in the world! I’m not immune to that. It’s just this whole international boarding school thing is a lot more about my father than it is about me. Ever since he sold out and started writing lame books that were turned into even lamer movies, he’s been trying to impress his big-shot New York friends with how cultured and rich he is. My father isn’t cultured. But he is rich. It wasn’t always like this. When my parents were still married, we were strictly lower middle class. It was around the time of the divorce that all traces of decency vanished, and his dream of being the next great Southern writer was replaced by his desire to be the next published writer. So he started writing these novels set in Small Town Georgia about folks with Good American Values who Fall in Love and then contract Life-Threatening Diseases and Die. I’m serious. And it totally depresses me, but the ladies eat it up. They love my father’s books and they love his cable-knit sweaters and they love his bleachy smile and orangey tan. And they have turned him into a Anna and the French Kiss | 6 bestseller and a total dick. Two of his books have been made into movies and three more are in production, which is where his real money comes from. Hollywood. And, somehow, this extra cash and pseudo-prestige have warped his brain into thinking that I should live in France. For a year. Alone. I don’t understand why he couldn’t send me to Australia or Ireland or anywhere else where English is the native language. The only French word I know is oui, which means “yes,” and only recently did I learn it’s spelled o-u-i and not w-e-e. At least the people in my new school speak English. It was founded for pretentious Americans who don’t like the company of their own children. I mean, really. Who sends their kid to boarding school? It’s so Hogwarts. Only mine doesn’t have cute boy wizards or magic candy or flying lessons. Instead, I’m stuck with ninety-nine other students. There are twenty-five people in my entire senior class, as opposed to the six hundred I had back in Atlanta. And I’m studying the same things I studied at Clairemont High except now I’m registered in beginning French. Oh, yeah. Beginning French. No doubt with the freshmen. I totally rock. Mom says I need to lose the bitter factor, pronto, but she’s not the one leaving behind her fabulous best friend, Bridgette. Or her fabulous job at the Royal Midtown 14 multiplex. Or Toph, the fabulous boy at the Royal Midtown 14 multiplex. And I still can’t believe she’s separating me from my brother, Sean, who is only seven and way too young Stephanie Perkins | 7 to be left home alone after school. Without me, he’ll probably be kidnapped by that creepy guy down the road who has dirty Coca-Cola towels hanging in his windows. Or Seany will accidentally eat something containing Red Dye #40 and his throat will swell up and no one will be there to drive him to the hospital. He might even die. And I bet they wouldn’t let me fly home for his funeral and I’d have to visit the cemetery alone next year and Dad will have picked out some god-awful granite cherub to go over his grave. And I hope Dad doesn’t expect me to fill out college applications to Russia or Romania now. My dream is to study film theory in California. I want to be our nation’s greatest female film critic. Someday I’ll be invited to every festival, and I’ll have a major newspaper column and a cool television show and a ridiculously popular website. So far I only have the website, and it’s not so popular. Yet. I just need a little more time to work on it, that’s all. “Anna, it’s time.” “What?” I glance up from folding my shirts into perfect squares. Mom stares at me and twiddles the turtle charm on her necklace. My father, bedecked in a peach polo shirt and white boating shoes, is gazing out my dormitory window. It’s late, but across the street a woman belts out something operatic. My parents need to return to their hotel rooms. They both have early morning flights. “Oh.” I grip the shirt in my hands a little tighter. Dad steps away from the window, and I’m
