Aurora had always known that Andersons go to Dalton, she just didn’t think that she would be included in that legacy.  But after the incident at the Sadie Hawkins dance left she and her half-brother in the hospital, their father told them that Aurora would be the first female student in Dalton history, regardless of what she wanted.  Of course the Dalton Brotherhood had always been her family, and being with her closest friends was exactly what she needed, but when a spy shows up in their midst, she knows that her home is going to be changed forever.

Ever since she was a little girl, Abbie Hudson had wanted to be a cheerleader.  She had grown up with dance and gymnastics, going to the elementary and then middle school cheer camp, and never missed a single high school football game — not for any love of the sport, but to watch the Cheerios.

Finally, in her freshman year, she got to join the team, and it was even better than she’d ever dreamed.   She was popular, she was talented, she was special, and she was happy.   And then she found herself joining the Glee club — it was barely even a club, only a small handful of students and a teacher who gave her the creeps.  It hadn’t been a big deal at the time, Glee was so irrelevant that no one even seemed to know it existed, and she was able to fly under the radar with it and keep her hard won popularity.  

But then, in her sophomore year, Will Schuester took over the club, and dragged her twin brother into the mix.  and to Abbie’s great dismay, Finn brought with him the one thing she had always wanted to avoid — attention.  From slushy-wielding jocks to Sue Sylvester’s rage, Abbie’s involvement in the club could no longer remain a secret, and she was going to have to make her choice.

She enjoyed Glee, she did, but was it really worth risking everything she’d ever dreamed of?

Freshman year of high school was supposed to be the start of the best years of your life, right?  Betty Fabray had it all planned out.  She was going to join the Cheerios and cement her newfound popularity by her sister’s side, become Head Cheerio after Quinn’s graduation, and have the high school experience that everyone dreamed of.  When she hears about a new singing club, she doesn’t think of it as a threat to her plans.  She loves to sing, and no one really cares about the club anyways, it should be fine.  And it was, until Finn Hudson joined the group and all eyes of the school turn to the Glee Club.  Suddenly she’s getting slushied, her position on the Cheerios is being threatened, and her big sister is pregnant and getting kicked out of their house.  Betty’s plans are in shambles and she has no idea what to think, but between Sue Sylvester and Sectionals, no one is giving her time to figure out what she wants, other than to get her sister back.  And, hopefully, to get through high school in one piece.

If Carla Vasquez-Brice never saw Rachel Berry again, it would be too soon. After facing the worst experience of her life thanks to Rachel’s dangerous selfishness, Carla had packed up her life, left her home, and moved to Akron to live with her Uncle Al, Aunt Kamilah, and cousin Sugar. It was better, it was. Thanks to Josh and Shelby, Vocal Adrenaline and Jesse, and her siblings’ endless support, Carla was healing. She could step onstage again, she had relearned how to perform, she was okay. But when she finds herself moving back home, back to Lima, just in time for sophomore year, she’s terrified. Lima means McKinley High, McKinley High means Rachel Berry.

She’s safe, as a Cheerio. Popularity becomes a shield that even Rachel Berry can’t get past. Maybe, just maybe, Carla was going to be okay.

Or so she thought, until Coach Sylvester demands that her four star cheerleaders spy on the New Directions from within.

Story: Get It Right

Face Claim: Odeya Rush

Love Interest: Matt Rutherford, Thad Harwood; Tina Cohen-Chang (possible Tina x Mike)

Cecilia Cartwright is going to Tisch. No matter what. She’s known it since she was eight years old, and knew every step that she would take to get there. But despite her love of all things theatre, Cece was a realist. College was expensive, and scholarships weren’t easy to earn.  Waitressing and tutoring; beauty pageants and swim team and martial arts; singing and dancing and acting lessons.  A lead in every school musical, student council, volunteer work. And… Glee club. 

When Cece joined Sandy Ryerson’s Glee club, it was supposed to be just another check on her resume. She could become the lead, she could make them great. But Sandy got fired – good riddance – and Mr. Schuester took over. At first, Cece thought that would be a good thing. Sure, Rachel Berry didn’t want to share the spotlight, but Mr. Schue shared her vision of national trophies that would definitely help her on the way to New York. But when the club gets overrun by jocks and cheerleaders – Colton’s friends, all lacking in his well trained talent – they bring along a whole new world of drama that threatens to tear down everything that Cece has worked for for the past eight years. 

She might be destined for the stage, but that’s the only place that Cece wants to see any drama.

Ever since their mother died, Kurt and Christie Hummel had somehow gotten even closer.  They did everything together; voice and piano lessons, dance classes, working in their dad’s shop, enduring the daily torture that was McKinley High, and, of course, joining glee.  But there was one thing that the twins didn’t agree on: Finn Hudson.  While Kurt saw him as their knight in shining armour, just because he offered them the barest hints of dignity while his friends tormented them, Christie saw him as just as guilty as the rest of his teammates, watching their endless humiliation and letting it happen.  Despite their polarizing opinions, the twins had always been able to look past that - to not let Finn Hudson come between them.  But when Finn joins the glee club, bringing even more jocks and Cheerios with him, their seemingly indestructible bond is going to be put to the test.

Colton Cartwright knows what people think when they look at him.  They see a hot, popular athlete and assume that he’s thriving, that he’s one of the rare few who enjoys high school, that he’s going to peak in high school.  They don’t see how the constant, simmering hostility in the halls is slowly suffocating him, don’t see the barely concealed homophobia thrown at him by his own teammates, they don’t see the ever-growing cracks in his perfect mask.  The only place that he could breathe was in Sandy Ryerson’s Glee club, but even then he was barely keeping his head above water when faced with Sandy’s constant, unrelenting, barely constrained interest.  No one was more relieved than Colton when Mr Schuester took over — finally, with just a handful of his closest friends, he could have a safe haven within the walls of McKinley.  But when his closest friends from both the Titans and Cheerios suddenly join, Colton can’t help but fear that their newfound interest in glee club of all things will be that last straw to break his proverbial camel’s back.

The top 100 NFL free agents in 2020 and where they’re signing

The 2020 NFL free agent class includes Jadeveon Clowney, Dak Prescott, and Tom Brady.

We ranked the best players who hit the open market and we’re keeping track of their new deals.

rThe 2020 NFL free agent market is loaded with big names — and a surprising number of veteran quarterbacks. Players ranging from Marcus Mariota to Dak Prescott to Tom Brady all headed into this offseason with expiring contracts.

That’s just the tip of the iceberg, though. The free agent class of 2020 is stacked from top to bottom.

There were plenty of rumors in advance of the official start to the 2020 league year on March 18. At that point, we knew what was next for a majority of the stars. Several of the NFL’s top free agents won’t change addresses as their current teams happily re-signed them, either through long-term contracts or the one-year franchise tag. Others have found new homes — or will eventually.

We took this year’s 600+ free agents and boiled them down to the top 100. These rankings don’t just reflect talent, but also age and potential. The list will be updated with signings and some new candidates, depending on which veterans get released as the offseason wears on.

Q: Sorry for the late reply! It’s me, Felinda anon. Felinda was, surprisingly, my grandfather’s middle name. I don’t know how much insight this gives but It’s from the 40s, my grandfather was of irish descent, and they were a military family. Hopefully this helps! My grandfather’s family grew up in Florida. I don’t know if that helps but, eh? Thank you!!!

A: Thank you, that does help. I still can’t find much information, but Felinda and Falinda appear to be a surnames. Maternal surnames were often passed down to sons, to carry on the name, so it makes sense that it would be a masculine name. That being said, even as a surname, it appears to be incredibly rare. As I said in my last reply, there’s an indication that it could be related to the surname Flindt, which refers to flint, a hard stone. Sorry that I cannot find more information on the name. I’ll keep an eye out though, and see if anything pops up that might help me research even deeper!

Patriots’ Defensive Ends: Free agent priorities in 2017

The New England Patriots are entering free agency as the Super Bowl champions following their dramatic come-from-behind 34-28 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons. According to OvertheCap.com the Patriots currently have over $60,000,000 in salary cap space heading into free agency.

Patriots’ News: Pats’ Linebackers: Free agent priorities in 2017

Patriots’ News: Tight end prospect Hodges a good fit in New England?

Patriots’ News: Belichick looking to coach five more years?

While that much cap space is usually a blessing to an NFL team, New England has so much space in large part due to having so many expiring contracts. New England has three exclusive rights free agents, three restricted free agents and a whopping 13 unrestricted free agents.

The Patriots will supplement the current roster through the NFL Draft later in the offseason, but the team is always looking for contributors in free agency. Last season, the Patriots brought in defensive end Chris Long and linebacker Shea McClellin to supplement the defense while wide receiver Chris Hogan was added to upgrade the offense.

Also last season, a trio of veteran free agents washed out as running back Donald Brown, wide receiver Nate Washington and defensive tackle Terrance Knighton all failed to make the team after being signed and having high expectations.

Add in the surprising trade of defensive end Chandler Jones, the surprising release of former first-round draft pick defensive tackle Dominique Easley, defensive tackle Akiem Hicks and 2014 playoff contributor wide receiver Brandon LaFell and tight end Scott Chandler and the team appeared to have “lost” in free agency according to the “experts”.

CBS Sports gave the Patriots a “C” in free agency last year adding “The odd thing is the offer sheet to Hogan. Why not a deep threat?”. Football Insiders handed out a “C-” to the Patriots taking a potshot at Bill Belichick and adding “The truth of the matter is that the Patriots aren’t any better today than they were last week, in fact they’re worse.”   

Figuring out what Bill Belichick and the Patriots will do this offseason is always difficult to discern. The first step is to figure out where the team needs to improve and see who may be available who fits the Patriots’ mold. There are three positions that standout as priority in free agency: linebacker, defensive end and tight end. Let’s examine them each in more detail:

Defensive End:

With Jabaal Sheard and Chris Long hitting free agency, the Patriots are left with just Trey Flowers and Rob Ninkovich from their four-man rotation at defensive end. Geneo Grissom remains but he played just ten snaps on defense all of 2016. If Sheard and Long do not return, there is a serious lack-of-depth at a key position.

Long actually led the team in snaps played at defensive end with 678 snaps played, although his playing time dwindled in the second half of the season. Sheard was benched at one point of the season and while he played his way back in the rotation at defensive end, it likely spelled the end of his tenure in New England.

Flowers should be the number one defensive end going into 2017 after leading the team with seven sacks and adding 2.5 more in the postseason. Chandler Jones–who Flowers has replaced–had just two career sacks in nine postseason games with the Patriots. Ninkovich is aging but still is a solid role player.

Fortunately, there is a high number of impact defensive ends on the free agency market. Chandler Jones will not be returning to New England but San Diego’s Melvin Ingram, Green Bay’s duo of Julius Peppers and Nick Perry, Denver’s DeMarcus Ware, New York’s Jason Pierre-Paul and former Ravens, Browns, and Saints defensive end Paul Kruger headline a deep group.

As usual, there will likely be a feeding frenzy for pass rushers when free agency kicks-off. Once the dust clears look for New England to snatch a pair cheap. Veterans like Kruger, Ware, Peppers, Dwight Freeney, Mario Williams, Trent Cole, Charles Johnson and Mario Addison could all be a veteran who gets passed over and could land in New England for a low price.

A restricted free agent who New England could target is Tampa Bay’s Jacquies Smith. Smith had strong seasons in 2014 and 2015 but a knee injury in Week 1 ended his 2016 season. Just 27 years old, he could be a surprise addition to the pass rush corps. Another restricted free agent who could be targeted is Ethan Westbrooks of the Rams. Westbrooks played 39 snaps against New England in Week 13 giving them some valuable tape on him. Westbrooks is a grinder with talent and could be a target to add to the pass rush.

New England will likely dip into free agency this spring to add to the pass rush. Expect a veteran (maybe even Long returning) and a younger, undervalued pass rusher joining the team come free agency. With a glut of pass rushers available, the Patriots could be in position to add to their pass rush in 2017 on their terms.

NFL free agents 2017: Current top 100 players available in free agency

The NFL’s annual free agent frenzy kicks off on March 9. Keep track of where the best players are headed with our handy list.

Thursday, March 9, 4 p.m. ET. Mark it on your calendar. Call in sick to work. Make plans to be on your phone or in front of a computer hitting refresh on your browser because that day is when the opening bell rings on NFL free agency for 2017.

There’s no shortage of optimism for NFL fans in the spring, and nothing says hope springs eternal like a brand new free agent acquisition. The player your team just signed is totally going to be the difference this year; you just know it!

As a responsible media organization, we should probably caution you not to put too much faith in free agency. You don’t have to be a complete Ted Thompson-style skeptic about it, but landing a whole new batch of veteran players is never a panacea for covering up bad management or terrible coaching.

Last year, the Jaguars were lauded for their free agent moves. Unfortunately, a roster loaded with talent wasn’t enough to overcome Gus Bradley’s coaching. The Giants, on the other hand, spent a bundle in free agency to give their defense an injection of talent, and it worked like a charm.

All we’re saying here is not to let the excitement of being an armchair general manager cloud your grip on reality.

To further dampen your enthusiasm, we should make one important note about this list. Many of these names, especially the players near the top, will not actually make it to the open market. Good teams don’t make a habit of letting their best players slip away. Players will get the franchise tag or sign a new deal outright before the tampering window opens on March 7.

Finally, a few notes about our top 100 list.

This list, as with any kind of rankings, is subjective. The SB Nation NFL staff worked together to create it. We put a great deal of thought into it, but you will inevitably disagree with it. That’s fine. Save your tweets. We know. This is merely a guide to help the world keep track of which free agents are signing where.

The final salary cap for 2017 has not yet been set. That’s because the league and the NFLPA have to agree on it before that becomes official. As of mid-February, Spotrac is estimating a cap of $168 million, which would be a jump of $12.3 million over last year’s $155.7 million cap. That’s consistent with the annual bumps we’ve seen since the 2011 collective bargaining agreement went into effect.

We’ll keep this list updated as free agency moves along (yes, even into May and June), so keep checking back.

OK, enough of the blah blah blah. Let’s get to that list!

General Character

Vivi is the type of Addison that prioritizes more on customer satisfaction over anything else. She is super nice towards everyone and a people pleaser, but do not mistake her kindness as a weakness.

Vivi will know whether you're being genuine or not. She'll playfully poke fun at, and brush off those who try to put her down until they get fed up and leave. (If bigotry is involved) she might secretly blackmail you if you're harassing her or her friends too much.

Vivi's also not just a pretty face either, she'll defend her friends and loved ones whenever it gets feisty and is not afraid to lose some feathers from it. She's also the mediator of the Addisons' friend group whenever they get into a heated argument. It's rare to see her genuinely furious. But it gets scary when she does.

Vivi gained her "Mama" nickname because she has a similar mom-like demeanor and discipline towards the Addisons at times, and how maternal she can be with younger people.

Vivi sells soaps, lotions, fragrances, and candles. There's another section of her store that's slightly hidden that sells more intimate products such as adult toys and apparels.

Relationships

Orlando S. Addison (Orange): A therapist friend and voice of reason when Vivi is under the weather. Super helpful buddy for his info-gathering and feedback. Asks Vivi to make her his muse for his seamstress projects from time to time. Nickname: Orly.

Sunny V. Addison (Yellow): HUGE prankster and energetic with no filter. A ball of sunshine that pulls the heartiest of laugh out of her. Makes impressive graphic animations and voices one of Vivi's advertisements. Nickname: Sunshine.

Jaylene B. Addison (Blue): Closest friends with Vivi (besties). Very flamboyant and admires Vivi's femininity and strength. Takes her for photoshoots for both of their banner advertisements. Nickname: Bluey.

Pierre C. Addison (Pink): Cocky and a (friendly) bully for healthy competitiveness. Develops feelings for Vivi over time. Helps each other out with how to gain more traction on their websites (sometimes, clickbait is involved). Does tea and culinary sweets and Vivi is the first test subject. Nickname: Pinky.

Samson E. Addison (White. Now known as Spamton G. Spamton): first close friend and first relationship partner with Vivi. Fairly shy but enthusiastic and passionate about his interest and his future potential. Not so lucky with his advertising job, but Vivi helped him from time to time and give him financial aid when it's dire. Nickname: Sammy, Spammy.

Swatch: pleasant butler administrator who understands the value of customer satisfaction. Vivi became his current valued customer after Spamton ran away from being evicted, disappeared from the Mansion, and knew how Spam treated her. Enjoys having a chat with her and gives work, general, and personal advice. Vivi promotes his Color Café on social media. Nickname: Swatchy ( when he's off work).

"Divorce" Ark and Current Year

When Spamton became a Big Shot, it was perfect through the year 1997. But then he started to neglect his relationship with Vivi, alongside with the other Addisons for the sake of pursuing more on his new advertisement carrier. Spam became more blunt towards the Addisons on competitiveness. But with Vivi, he was more avoidant about his antics and making up excuses in fear of hurting her.

But the more he became busy, the more neglectful he became with the relationship. It came to a point that she had enough and separated. From there, they've never seen each other again. Since Spamton escaped from being evicted and disappeared.

That's not to say she didn't suffer emotionally and didn't miss him. It took years for her to open up and heal. she's still willing to give second chances but this time it's platonic. She'll be more enforced and vigilant of Spamton's antics.

She's currently starting a relationship with Pierre (Pink).
