Astrid

DedalusBloom · 24/11/2021 17:03

Astrid is 80 and was a folk singer in the sixties and seventies. She still wears her grey hair long and with her high cheekbones and Slavic beauty it still looks glamorous rather than ageing. She couldn't really sing much back then but she looked amazing shaking a tambourine whilst wearing a long cheesecloth smock and it's surprising how far that and a pair of startling green eyes can take you.

She had a string of amours in her heyday including a well documented tryst with David Crosby and is most famous for a tempestuous marriage to the guitarist from a Californian Folk-Rock group who had a couple of hit singles in the 60s, mainly because they sounded a bit like The Byrds. He died of a heroin overdose in 1979 and Astrid has been a recluse ever since then, living in her mansion in Laurel Canyon with her 6 dogs, refusing requests for interviews and walking the canyon at night to watch the stars and think about her lost love.

Valentina

SunShinesBrightly · 24/11/2021 17:03

Astrid’s parents (Oriel and Raymond) are free spirits. Astrid was home schooled and is an only child. As soon as she got to 16 she enrolled in college and is studying English, History and Politics. She is very conventional unlike her parents and feels out of place in this world. She is really enjoying meeting new people and is planning to go to university 300 miles away from Brighton where she grew up.

She is very aware of her beauty and uses it to her advantage. She knows how to deal with men and unwanted attention but at the same time massages their egos expertly.

Wendy

DedalusBloom · 24/11/2021 17:47

Wendy is as cute as a button. She is 22 and has perfect golden skin and a smattering of freckles. Her eyes are the sort of blue you don't really see any more and she has a pretty little upturned nose which gives her an impish air. She wears oversized dungarees and stripy t shirts and says things like " fiddlesticks!" When things go wrong.

Most people assume that Wendy is a children's entertainer or works in theatre but Wendy is actually an undertaker - one of the youngest in the country to be precise. She is fascinated by the rituals and processes that surround death and experiences a huge amount of satisfaction from being able to help people plan their loved ones' last journey.

New Name
Christoph

Courtier · 24/11/2021 20:06

Christoph is in his late 20s. Slight build, but tall, piano fingers. He's pale with wispy brown hair. Not handsome, but just a bit plain looking. He wears glasses and is careful with his speech and movements. He's always been quiet and a bit antisocial. He's unsure of himself, works in archiving. Never quite had the confidence to have a girlfriend.

But one day he gets offered a job working with a boating company to catalogue their fishing in the arctic. He decides to go at the last minute and spends the next four years travelling the world as a zoology archivist.

He's always quiet, but he grows in confidence. He's no longer unsure of himself.

Michael

SunShinesBrightly · 25/11/2021 05:09

Michael is 60. He’s divorced from Sue and has lived in a small terraced house since leaving the family home 15 years ago.

Michael is a quiet man, gentle, kind and funny but life has knocked the stuffing out of him.

He ‘left’ Sue and the family home after Sue had an affair with Graham. Graham manages the BMW dealership in town and is a bit of a t**t. Arrogant, cocky and a smart arse.

Sue actually told Michael to go. He didn’t want to but he had no choice really. Sue got half the house in the divorce settlement and paid Michael off (well below market value) with the help of an inheritance.

Graham swiftly moved into Michael’s former home. Michael and Sue’s two grown up daughters daughters don’t see their Mum. They hate how she treated their Dad and would much rather see him than their Mum and Graham.

They worry because Michael drinks a bit too much since he divorce but they love their gentle, kind Dad.
