'What do you picture'? Game

Stephanie.

Casper is 11 years old. He is well behaved and well liked although very average acedemically. He is often caught daydreaming in school. His parents think he is gifted and a genius. He is learning to play the guitar and has a private tutor for French and maths.
His parents take him on holiday to the South of France. He dreams of going to Tenerife like the other boys at school.

Casey grew up on a treeless new estate 50km out of Melbourne. Far from public transport and with nothing to do, she taught herself piano on a keyboard her neighbour gave her, then, with other bored kids, started a band. After rehearsals Casey would lie in her tree-free back yard and gaze at the stars. Her parents chided her for wasting time, but secretly they admired her for her graceful breezing between school work and music and how she seemed to know everyone in their neighbourhood. Though she thought of herself as creative rather than a STEM type, she blitzed high school maths and physics, then studied astronomy at uni. Casey now has a dilemma -- does she go on a European tour with her band, which is big on Spotify, or does she take up her PhD scholarship to Harvard?

Aurora - is early 30’s blonde, beautiful. Totally at tune with nature. Kind hearted and gentle. Is the person everyone aspires to be and wishes they were like.

— Casper

Aurora

Sells bodyshop, big earrings and grey decor.

Natasha

Casey was named after a handsome American film star and has always felt he never lived up to his good looks. He over compensates by being a good time guy. He says yes to everything, even the very unwise. He talks at you, not to you. He never met anyone to settle down with and calls his best mate's wife "ball and chain".

Aurora

Lex is 70 and lives in an apartment in Hampstead. He and his wife Rosalind met at University when Lex was an undergraduate studying Architecture. He ran his own practice until his retirement at the age of 65. Rosalind never worked but has always had a very busy social life.
They have no children and are under the illusion that they live a relatively modest life - oblivious to the fact that their situation is more privileged and comfortable than the majority of people their age.

New name: Casey

Franklyn lives in Dalston and interns at a production company - but does night shifts at a hipster coffee to pay the rent on the studio flat he shares with 3 other people.

He's 23, from Tunbridge Wells, and is really called Francis (Frankie to his mum).

Rory, 24, is constantly embarrassed by his name because it suggests someone rugged, but he's a weedy, geeky type. No matter how much he eats, he can't get his weight above 9 stone, even though he's 6' 1. He's passionate about history, particularly the Napoleonic Wars and he's a member of a re-enactment group where he can forget about his looks and pretend he's Sean Bean. He still holds a candle for Tabitha, his uni girlfriend, a goth who treated him mean and dumped him for the president of the debating society. He works in a call-centre which he doesn't mind, but he dreams of writing historical fiction for a living though all he's had is rejections so far.

Constance is a worrier. She worries about everything which impacts her day. She gets very little done and constantly writes notes and to do lists in her little book (which never get crossed out)

Rory

Annalise is fifteen and is bright and sparky. She loves to dress in a slightly quirky way and to stand out in a crowd. She wants to be an actuary, which is a surprise to everyone.

Constance

New name - Annalise

Shona is a down-to-earth gal of 45 from Glasgow. She's got thick, straight blonde hair and well-defined features. She lives in her favourite jeans and jumpers. She doesn't really bother with make-up but she doesn't need it - her looks suit being fresh-faced and healthy. She works in IT - her logical mind is ideal for the job - and has a gorgeous flat which she bought at a bargain price over 20 years ago. It's done out in a minimalist style, and it's a source of friction when Clair, her girlfriend, stays over because scatty, spontaneous Clair is chronically messy - but generally, Shona and Clair complement each other well.

Ezekiel is a black 15 year old boy from Hackney, east London. He attends an all boys comprehensive school and his favourite lesson is history. Ezekiel lives with his mother, sister and grandmother in a maisonette. His grandmother is teaching him to cook. In his spare time, he watches Minecraft videos on YouTube.

Shona

Pippa- cubby, bespexkled girl with frizzy hair. Nice to all creatures. Has a crush on the cool boy at school. Geeky.

Geoffrey

I don't think we have done Willow.

Willow is in her late 40s, slim as her name would suggest but with a round face that's starting to go a bit jowly. She wears pink lipstick and blue eyeshadow and her rather limp hair is dyed platinum blonde. She's in a longstanding on/off relationship with Oliver, a 50 year old car salesman. Willow herself doesn't work as she has various niggling health-conditions, but in her younger days she was a secretary. She enjoys holidays in the sun, movies and psychological dramas on TV, and she's an inveterate social media user. Her hidden talent is quizzing - she's absolutely brilliant and has appeared on a couple of minor quiz shows. She hopes to go on Mastermind but can't find a specialist subject they haven't already done.

Flora is 30 and hates everything to do with flowers. She loathes her name and longs to be called something more practical sounding like Martha or Sarah.
She lives in Bridlington with her partner Susannah. They have a cocker spaniel called Artemis and restore vintage cars in their spare time.

Darya is 4 years old, her mother is Russian and her father is Chinese. She is a sweet little girl, very pretty, likes very girly-girl things. She wears tiny gold hoop earrings and carries a pink unicorn toy and wears tutus, and she´s very clever and a bit sassy.

Flora

She has a boyfriend called Raoul who she was only attracted to because of his name.

That's brilliant!
