Cold, unfriendly, angry, and tough-minded, Caledonia Hayden is someone that most people don't want to be around. Which is fine because she doesn't want to be around them, either. The girl tends to hide all her feelings inside her with the exception of anger, which she has almost qualms about letting wild and free...because the truth is, she struggles to control it. She's bitter, angry, and doesn't trust a lot of people while also being the one to call people out on their bullshit and someone who is unafraid to stand up for what she believes in. While she doesn't talk to many people and befriend them, the brunette is against abuse or bullying, unless of course she loses her temper at idiotic people and ignites a fight. It's happened at least once a year. She's also a good leader, however, and someone capable of keeping calm in most dangerous situations, and she's also a good fighter, hence her placement in Wisteria. The girl tends to try and take command of situations and has been known to throw her weight around, and she's someone who has a very businesslike demeanor and takes her job as a future spy very, very seriously. After all, she knows the world is a shitty place and that it needs help, and part of the reason she sticks with the academy is so she can help prevent others from being hurt the way she was, while protecting people without having to get close to anyone.
Caledonia is a private person, anger aside, who hates getting close to people and letting them in. She's distrustful and has more than one weapon on her and in her vicinity at all times, while is the type to always hold grudges and sometimes act on revenge, even though she knows she shouldn't do that./ It's just she can get so bitter and hurt and angry--mostly outwardly angry--that she wants to make the person pay for what they said or did to her or a rare person she loves. In terms of those people: IF, and this is a big if, Caledonia has someone she loves as a friend or girlfriend or like her mother, that person will always have someone in their corner because she is so loyal to them. But she doesn't let many in so it's hard to get to that point where she'll literally die for you. She does have a small soft spot when it comes to children, however, though she knows they can be brats, just...overall she tolerates them more than adults.
Caledonia also hates to be told what to do and hates the feeling of being utterly helpless and unable to defend herself. She values her independence and autonomy and will not hesitate to hurt someone who tries to talk that from her. She's not someone easily scared, while she's defensive, bold, and can be rash and act up when she's pissed or a loved one is in danger. She's also very observant, and has been since childhood, while she's good at fighting as well--very good. But what she' not great at are her social skills--she can make small talk but she hates it and doesn't really know how to keep most conversations going, hence why if someone actually talks to her, it's probably a business/spy related thing, which would be the best for her. She can give orders and such, but...don't chat her up, she'll one, hate you, and two, not really know what to do. Again, stealth and undercover aren't her favorites because for undercover she has to act like someone she's not and she hates having to act like that, talk people up, or act like some boy-crazy rich girl. Nope.
So, to put it simply, Caledonia is not a friendly person. She does, however, deep down feel lonely, and while she walks around with an air of confidence, unfortunately, deep inside she's also quite insecure after years of intense bullying as well as abuse by her father. She's also kind of a scarily good liar and comes up with some nasty shit on the spot at times when she's trying to get herself out of a tough position that would lead to more trouble.
The brunette also struggles with depression, and has since she was a child, while also struggling with PTSD. She's also quite touch averse and is unafraid to break someone's wrist if they touch without permission. The only one who can do that is her mother and was her ex, but even her mother never does that because she doesn't want to risk triggering her.
Caledonia is also typically someone who follows rules. Around CLOUD, she's pretty good about it--she turns her work in on time; she's trusted by most of the staff. But. She also has moments when she thinks rules need to be broken--she will break curfew laws if she needs to leave her room to exercise at, say, 2am, and she'll also sometimes be so angry that she will fight with others, snapping and just losing all semblance of control.
She also dislikes herself--she thinks of herself as worthless and stood, part of the reason she's trying so hard here to prove herself, while sometimes she even gets scared of how violent she can be. But she believes in the idea of better safe than sorry and sometimes that, to her, means violence.
strengths: she's not afraid to stand up for what she believes in; she's also a good liar, maybe scarily good, when she wants to be; she's observant and diligent as well, while also being someone meticulously organized and as clean and outwardly put together as possible, so if she's ever disorderly or her room is a mess, there's clearly something wrong.
weaknesses: the first is her temper; she can end up losing control of her rage when she's upset and angry and it doesn't take a lot for her to get to that point. She's also not the best intellectually when it comes to math, science, data analysis, and some codes and ciphers even make her head spin. She also struggles sometimes with stealth (because her rage can snap and boom, there goes her cover; other than that she's good); her social skills and patience need work too. She also freezes up around fire.
physical details

--physical description--
Caledonia stands tall at 5' 11". She sports blue eyes, pale skin, high cheekbones, and dark brown hair that falls to a few inches below her shoulders. The nineteen-year-old's body is very muscular, and it's obvious even when she just stands still. She has scars across her body that she tends to hide, however, as well as a birthmark on her right shoulder and another behind her left knee.
(fc: Cobie Smulders)
--standard clothing style--
Aside from what she has to wear in undercover work, and aside form training clothing (leggings), she always wears long-sleeves and no crop tops for personal reasons unless absolutely necessary. When not working or training, Caledonia prefers pants of any type (it depends on the event if they're leggings or jeans or sweats); combat boots; leather jackets; dark green or black shirts; flannels; baseball caps; and tennis shoes.
strengths: her body is very toned and muscular and her best skillset lies in firearms and hand to hand combat; she's merciless with opponents, only stopping short of killing them and sometimes breaking a bone, situation pending
weaknesses: her hand-eye coordination for weapons like archery needs work and she's not the best at it; also, she can sometimes be sensitive in her abdomen from broken ribs and trauma in that area that never fully healed
background
|
|
Caledonia was born to a single mother, Katarina Hayden, a very skilled CLOUD agent and one of the agency's best and most distinguished. As far as she knew, her mother was a government official. Katarina was the child’s best friend—she was funny, personable, strong, and adored her little girl, would hurt anyone who dared hurt Cala. From the time the child was five, she was already learning how to shoot a gun and how to wrap her hands properly and hit something, and as she got older she was taught how to take someone down. Her mother was everything to her. Katarina taught her almost everything she knew, because her mother wanted her to defend herself, best she could, because she told Caledonia that as a government official it was important to be safe.
So, not only did the little girl like the punching and the guns, but she knew it was a necessity. Caledonia grew up thinking her mom was not only the coolest person ever but she wanted to go to the same school Mama had, because it just seemed cool and was natural for the child—she thought everyone at first learned how to use a gun. And she figured the school had normal education, just was somewhere she could also continue this “fun” training. Of course, Katarina was really a government spy/agent, hence why she was gone sometimes and left the brunette with her one friend from high school, who was a scientist agent who had also went through CLOUD but who worked more from home because she disliked working with people in person. This meant Caledonia couldn’t know the exact truth unless CLOUD recruited her later.
So for the meantime, the child attended a local elementary school. But it was not a good experience, partially because Caledonia, it was evident, had…a huge anger problem. Whenever another kid said something she found offense, she’d hit them. Part of the issue for the anger was the fact she was being bullied viciously. Kids started to tease her for her height, her eye color, her long name and they’d shorten it to mess with her. They called her a freak and told her that her absent father left because of her—she didn’t know what happened to him and Katarina had said she’d tell her when she was older. They would push her around on the playground and into walls and punch her. Caledonia started closing up and acting distant and colder at school and home, and she ignited fight after fight.
The first time she got blood running and people yelling was when she was only seven, in second grade. She punched a classmate which ended up with a phone call home and a talk that night, though Caledonia hid from her mom the bullying: it was too painful and she hated that the kids were mean to her. And with her strength training at home, Cal’s punches and attacks were…not light.
But as it didn’t stop and more fights happened, getting worse when the girl was nine and ten because they’d figured out that Caledonia was gay. The girl had realized it when she had a first crush on a female classmate at age nine, and another one at ten, and she was made fun of even more, including a horrific incident where they burned her with a fire poker from the school kitchens. So, she was even more angry and otherwise emotionally closed off at home, and Katarina finally, finally, when her daughter was ten, got it out of her that she was being bullied. A furious Katarina pulled what money she had saved up and transferred her girl to a private elementary school.
But when Caledonia was eleven her world really got ruined. She was doing a bit better at the school, though academically she was a bit behind and didn’t know how to make friends—too quiet and cold and distrusting of everyone—when one weekend, Katarina said she had a business trip. It had happened before so Caledonia hugged her mom and was told she’d be back in a few days.
TRIGGER WARNING
But Katarina never returned. A phone call was made to Caledonia’s “aunt”, and by the end of the call, by the way that she just started crying, Caledonia knew something was wrong. She’d begged to know what and Marissa said Katarina Hayden had gone missing on the trip. They couldn’t find her. Of course, it was more complicated than that but it was ‘classified’. So. That was out, knowing the truth.
The eleven year old remained convinced they’d find her, but only two weeks later, someone else came to the door—a whole bunch of someone’s. People in official uniforms and they dropped paperwork into her hands and took her and said that they were with CLOUD and that “surprise, your mom was a super spy”, and Caledonia was shocked and numb and yet demanded to know what had happened. They said Katarina Hayden was dead, that her will was now in Caledonia's hands, and that surprise, you have a father as your next of kin. Out stepped James Laughlin, a tall, imposing figure who was, evidently, also a spy who taught at an academy for CLOUD. The same place Katarina had gone to, the school Caledonia had wanted to attend, which until now she hadn't known was for spies. Still, she demanded in shock to know who James was and if he was really her father--they both had blue eyes, sure, but it was only after a DNA test done because Caledonia demanded it that there was proof. James explained that Katarina and he had fallen out after Katarina was pregnant, and that James had been longing to meet his daughter for eleven years, and he took her into his apartment home near the Academy, where he taught.
Caledonia was uncomfortable with how much James vilified her mother, saying she had kept him away from their daughter because Katarina dubbed him "cruel" and "aggressive", but that in reality, James stated he had longed to meet her. But the first red flag was when James took the will from Caledonia, who had read to find all her mom's items and money were hers now. James said he'd take care of this until she was eighteen and old enough to handle the finances on her own. Needless to say she never got that back.
Life turned to hell from here on out--never having met her father before, the girl was already uncomfortable with this situation, and she never forgave him for down-talking Katarina as a "fool" for staying an agent when she had a child, going on dangerous missions, and one evening James blatantly told Caledonia the first full day she moved in with him that he had expectations: he didn't want his child. "You're a burden. Neither of us waned you. You'd be best to just be given up, but now you've fallen to me. And I have high expectations". He demanded to see her physical abilities, and he began to train her at home even harder--and he made it clear failure in academics (science, math, and history, especially) would be punished. Unfortunately...Caledonia struggled with the first two, and she found out that failure meant being hit. The abuse started with hits and being locked in a small dark room without food, that turned into James demeaning and bullying her and her training became harder and borderline abusive in and of itself. His expectations were impossible and he made it clear the only reason he "graciously took a brat like you in" was because he claimed he had loved Katarina in some twisted way. Though it was clear he hated his kid and wouldn't care if someone shot her in the head. He made her sleep in a basement, in the cold, while withholding all love and affection, and his mental and emotional abuse was sometimes more hurtful than the physical, though there was that, too. When she fought back, always angry, he punished her even worse, and threatened the one friend she had managed to make at school if she dared tell the authorities how she was being treated at home. He guilted her into feeling grateful for his protection--after all, he never ceased to remind her he could have let her starve after her mother's death.
So when Caledonia was twelve and got the invitation to CLOUD, she took it to get away from constant abuse, knowing that her father worked as a combat teacher there but also knowing she could withstand his horrid classes because it was worse at home. Besides, dorms were better than home. She had also begun to close off and start even more fights at her new school, too. James really didn't care.
So she entered CLOUD Academy, also to find out what really happened to Katarina--she was deemed "dead or missing", and Caledonia held onto childish hope she was still alive...and she was desperate, too, cold and angry.
At CLOUD, Caledonia stayed away from people--she distrusted them more and more as time went by, because how dare they allow an abusive person on their staff?! But the first time she tried to tell an administrator, James caught her, beat her up in his office, and then threatened to kill her. So she was a bit scared into silence and was even colder as time went on, also because CLOUD, well, she was bullied or ignored a lot here, too. Caledonia didn't really know how to make friends, and while in some respects it was better because she could avoid her father more, in other aspects it was worse: she had to really hide her relationship to him because of his threats, and she was surrounded by some constant memories of her late mother, who had been the head of Wisteria, where Caledonia was, before Caledonia was born. It just hurt.
So she grew up working hard at the Academy to get good grades and aimed to do her best and be the best in her class even as it didn't always work out--her stealth would suffer from angry outbursts and idiots in her class, while her academic and data analysis skills...sucked. It came from a lack of patience. Her people skills also sucked, and she was still in mourning for her mama, who she'd never had a proper time to say goodbye to. She was hurt and bitter and angry, and acted like it, getting in fights over small insults because of her grief and her rage at her father and everything else.
She ended up in trouble a lot for physical fights, while she also never minced her words, and it was only over her last few years that the faculty finally respected her as businesslike and dedicated when she began to stop punching people as much. She knew she had to control some rage a bit. But still, the bullying of people for either her appearance or height or sexuality or personality was all just a lot, and she found on some occasions punching was still her only outlet. And because her mother had been a good agent, some of the staff had expectations that Caledonia felt pressured to meet, not that she was too upset because she wanted to be as good as her mom had been.
All this said, there was one light in her life, but her father wrecked that, too (as on holidays...well. He was her father, so either she went home with him, or, if she petitioned to stay here, he was faculty. So he'd come by and demand to see her, where if her grades were not up to par, he'd hit her back with his belt). And the words were horrific too. Anyway, when she was sixteen, Caledonia realized that she was crushing on one of her classmates, much more than she ever had before. And to her suspicion and shock, the girl liked her, too.
Soon, Caledonia not only had a friend, but a girlfriend, and for that year, 16-17, she was actually a lot nicer, more tolerant of other people and less angry, it seemed. She loved her girlfriend, who she dated in private because of her father, who she knew was homophobic. But when she was seventeen and a half, so after about a year and a half, her father caught her kissing Anna, her girlfriend, after classes let out one day, and...he was furious. He beat her up worse than every before, forced her to break up with Anna, and threatened both girls' lives if either ever told admin about how he treated his kid. And then Anna dropped out of the agency, and Caledonia began to fight her father even more.
Since then, Caledonia has been even more upset, closed off, cold, angry, bitter, and unfriendly. While she's on a trajectory to do well in her class, in her mind, once she graduates, she plans to leave CLOUD for good and join the military. One, it will get her away from James. Two, she's best at strength anyway and her stealth skills can be laughable when she's enraged, and three, she feels she can get some anger out that way. But nobody knows of her plans, and for now she's just trying to do her best, avoid James, trying hard not to smack people in their faces, and survive. Sure, she enjoys being an agent and using firearms and she does want to help people and be an agent for that reason--to help and protect others when she feels helpless herself--but getting away from James is her main priority. Though she still aims to find out more what happened to her mother, as James realized she's trying to do that, too, and he's working to stop her. She also has known Alianna for years--the girl's family is friends with her father and his family, meaning Alianna tormented Caledonia at a younger age and on some holidays, still does.

Katniss is what a lot of people refer to as an excitable puppy, full of energy and way too loyal. It’s true that’s she gets so excited by everything around her—she’s a curious optimist, always finding the good in other people and the events she’s entering or is put into. Of course, her cheerful demeanor an agitate a lot of others, and Katniss is used to slight teases as well as snarky comments and being told she talks too much, but most of the time she doesn’t let it get to her. Katniss is also someone who isn’t afraid to stand up for herself or tell someone off, and she’s also someone to casually slip into conversation that they’re being an idiot, if she believes they are. But she’s also pretty open minded, bullies aside.
While Katniss does talk a lot, she’s genuinely enthralled by a lot of what she sees around the world—she finds new things fascinating and loves science and discovery. She’s also an extrovert who pounces on the chance to meet new people, and she’s friendly and wants to make as many friends as possible, often being a CLOUD trainee admin recommends to help first years transition, or anyone else coming after that year who may be picked up along the way. She’s never short on conversation, but sometimes this can make her a bad listener because she’ll jump in and interrupt people—and kh, can she get frustrated so, so easily—so her conversation skills can be a bit off sometimes.
And so can she. Katniss is a pathological liar. It's as easy as breathing for her and she quite enjoys it. The girl lies about everything--she lies and she covers things up, whether or not they're actually something that shouldn't be covered up. So, while she's friendly. she's also someone who will convince you to tell her your darkest secret and you won't realize her's manipulating you until it's too late. Katniss genuinely wants to meet people, but she's also meeting and scouting people, seeing who would get in the way of her group's desire to rule the school or something. Or who would be a bit fun to mess with...or genuinely have as a friend. You kinda never know with this one. Oh well? Anyway, she's lies and charms, but maybe that's not even the worst part about her. Katniss is...losing it. She has an odd, concerning fascination with blood (it's pretty!) and she loves to look at it and will kill bugs just to see it. And honestly, part of her wishes she was a bit saner and sometimes she has panic attacks about the fact she's a horrible person, and will at time try and be better, but other times she accepts who she is. A bit insane and crazy.
All this said, she really does love meeting new people for more innocent friendship reasons as well versus manipulating people and lying to their faces, but the scary thing with Katniss is that you just never know if its a good day or a crazy day, or a mixture. Even Katniss may not know until something happens. That all said, she's a very loyal person who quite loves to stick to her guns. She also loves hiking and the outdoors, and she's the person who makes back up and escape plans for every mission while also never failing to bring her charming smile and silver tongue and somewhat remorseless ability to lie wherever she goes.
To be honest a good name for her is the queen of contradictions because she just…is. She is friendly and curious but she’s also someone who will cover up a murder while gushing about how nice the body’s blood looks so really, it’s a puzzle with her. Oh and one more thing—as nice as Katniss may seem to a newcomer, she’s also the person who, despite breaking rules herself, may rat someone out if they’re doing something at CLOUD they shouldn’t be.
strengths: she sees the good in every situation and person, and while this is a strength in a sense, it can be a weakness too because she’s training to be a spy; she can’t be super trusting. Liar liar liar--she's a pathological liar, while also has a talent and brain for thinking up cover stories that are believable for instances that need to be covered up. She's very mentally quick on her feet.
weaknesses: Katniss talks too much. like, way too much, to the point of people comparing her to a hyper golden retriever. She also is too curious for her own good, and she's also not the physically strongest person out there and is highly pain-sensitive. She's also kinda...dumb sometimes? And uh. Going crazy. Yeah. That. Oh right, she gets distracted easily too. Like; a cute dog? She wants to pet it. A squirrel? Oh no, now Katniss is acting like the dog.

--physical description--
Katniss stands at about 5' 5" with lighter tanned skin, a longer face shape, dark brown eyes, and longer dark brown hair. That said, she lies to dye the ends of it blonde when she can, for fun, and occasionally she can be seen with bright blues or purples in her hair because she feels like it. Katniss has some muscle but nothing huge and overly impressive.
(fc: Chloe Bennett)
--standard clothing style--
Katniss just has to look cute! She really doesn’t mind what she wears that much as long as she looks good/cute in it. She does really like baggy T-shirts, pants, and sweatshirts but they have to still make her look cute enough. So as long as she can pull a look off, it’s all good. She sometimes wears makeup, sometimes doesn’t; it depends on the look she’s going for. She also likes bracelets and rings, silver ones, while she had a few earrings:
strengths: I mean, she can shoot alright, when it comes to guns and stuff? And she's okay at using two batons in combat as well. She's actually a fast runner, though, very lithe and flexible and nimble.
weaknesses: Katniss doesn’t have that strong of a body in terms of strength, and she's not good at archery, not great at knife-throwing, a and sometimes her gunshots can waver, too. Also Katniss is a bit of a wimp when it comes to pain and dislikes hurting herself in hand-to-hand combat, and avoids it when she can.
background

|
Katniss was born to parents who help the run the organization that overlooks CLOUD, and everyone knows it. They see her group as a bit of a problem, a group that will take over for their parents. But like the others Katniss, ambitious and crazy, wants more.
Anyway, she was born to parents, one from Jasmine, who is extremely stealthy and quick, and one in Oleander. Together, they taught their daughter what they knew: stealth and charm, and Katniss picked up on both. It was a deadly combination from parents who practically spoiled their daughter, as well, who were so poured their little girl was able to persuade and manipulate people and get what she wanted from the staff in their home (they're rich), while also sneaking around and taking what she wanted when she was told she couldn't have it, like, extra desert.
In any case, Katniss was encouraged by her parents, was trained early. It helped she was their favorite child, which was a problem but that’s the way it was. So, she never went to an actual school, but was trained at home as well as by private CLOUD tutors early on who taught her academics. Katniss was actually a younger sibling--she had an older brother, who had been her best friend. She used to follow him everywhere, doing whatever she could to get his attention as a child and a toddler, and he usually engaged her until one day when he snapped. He told her was an annoying, chattery burden who nobody liked and who talked way too much to people who didn't care at all.
This hurt. Her brother, her best friend, rejected her. He was sick and tired of her chattering, especially as she got older and he got more mature.
Katniss, absolutely heartbroken, did anything she could to try and gain his approval again. Her parents were disappointed in their son, too, after he pushed his younger sister away, but her brother hated the family. The real reason he snapped at Katniss was because her parents favored her--she was liking their kinda chaotic CLOUD ways, whereas he just never had an interest, and wanted to be an artist and get out of what he saw as a conspiracy situation with the government and CLOUD, and out of a family that never seemed to favor him. Katniss just drew all their attention so he was jealous and wanted someone to shun her. So he left after leaving her feeling a bit insecure.
Nevertheless, Katniss never stopped trying to reach put to him and ask what she did wrong. Of course, Katniss did have friends, particularly in the other heads of the overall organizations, (names TBD--collab), who she knew and befriended early on. They all were a bit chaotic in terms of their confidence and just the way they acted. Her Jasmine friend was a bit of a thief, for one, for example, and Katniss quote enjoyed covering up all their shenanigans, which definitely didn’t go away and probably got worse when they all got recruited into CLOUD at twelve.
Katniss, at the school, definitely never stopped her own chaos, and kind of became more insane as the years went on, something she was and is aware of and is…slightly a concern to her. In any case, she and her friends definitely have their goals, while they know everyone around the Academy expects them to take their parents’ place, Katniss isn’t sure that’s what she really wants. In any case, the girl does really well in her classes, placed in Oleander and quite fittingly, too. She thrives in being a charming, slick cover up with a penchant for stealth as well, though her lying habits just became so much worse. The brunette can’t really help herself, honestly. Lying is kind of like breathing for her so she keeps covering up antics and stuff; she helps people come up with excuses, while she’s also still someone admin likes to throw on newbies to show them around. After all; Katniss likes new people and making friends so she’s always happy to be of service in that respect. Once again, she’s kind of a contradictory situation overall. And part of her tries hard to really fix the missing link in her own head, but the other part of her really doesn’t care to, and part of her pathological lying has become her lying her to herself. It’s a problem.
other:
~Katniss likes to snack. She’s the type of person to be eating pretzels and popcorn by large bowl-fuls or boxes, and she can casually be found snacking in classes, lectures, or doing homework
~She likes small animals like hamsters and guinea pigs
~The girl likes blood and thinks it’s very pretty, and she is a little concerned about the fact she’s losing her mind
~she also does love large friendly golden retriever dogs….which is practically her in animal form, interestingly enough, and has one at home named Goldie…very basic but she got him as a puppy and named him when she herself was like, four
~Katniss doesn’t fully know what she wants to do after graduation, maybe run the school. Maybe be an agent. Maybe cause more chaos (probable change after discussion with the collab group)

demeanor and behaviors
|
|
Alianna is a sadistic, passionate, and cunning individual who takes pride in the awful way she treats others. A bully, she enjoys hurting and undermining her classmates as well as anyone who disrespects her, and she's skilled at insulting their intelligence, exploiting weaknesses, and using underhanded methods like poisons and framing others as well. All this said, Alianna acts sugary-sweet around any adults and teachers, even though some know she's ended up in detention for being an asshole before. Those that don't know that, though, she acts towards them like the perfect student, so full of kindness. But students know she's really just awful, at least mostly.
Alianna also values patience, and she can be stealthy and cunning when it comes to hurting people. She waits for the opportune moment to strike at someone, while she'll sometimes do her nastier methods in the shadows. Also, she's killed two students but they were ruled as tragic accidents--both on separate training missions. Her next target is someone a year ahead of her, and that target she deems both a threat to her and just...annoying, Anyway, Alianna is someone who feels absolutely not regret or remorse for her actions and who holds grudges and loves revenge more than a normal, stable person would. Yeah, she's not mentally stable--she may not get angry easily but Alianna does take joy in making people scream, so she's someone to avoid. If you're on her bad side, watch out, and even if you're on her good side she's not afraid to hurt someone if they turn on her. So she's loyal to herself and her parents' cause.
Alianna is also someone who likes to flirt and bat her eyelashes, and she's pretty good at that sometimes, to try and get in and out of bad situations. Mostly though, she's a stealthy, jealous person who really gets envious easily, and she's also quite the entitled brat with a vain streak in her. She dislikes getting dirt under her nails--so, no gardens work for her--but she's not afraid to paint her hands in someone else's blood, so...it is what it is. She likes blood a lot and thinks it's pretty, but mostly she just likes it because it means she has power over someone. She’s skilled at stealth work and likes to slip into places without people noticing. She likes to spy on people.
strengths: she's an incredible liar, while she's also able to flirt or charm her way into and out of lots of situations; she's also extremely patient and that can be very good for both her work and her sadistic side; she’s stealthy.
weaknesses: she's a horrible person and practically makes it her goal in life to hurt people, so she's not trustworthy in that regard. She's also just not trustworthy overall, and she's also mentally unstable; also, she’s judgmental.
physical details

--physical description--
Alianna, standing at 5’ 4”, had pale skin with a slight dusting of freckles across her face. Her blue eyes often shine with malice. She has a small nose and small hands and feet and eyes, and a generally more petite frame. That said, she has some muscle so people usually make a mistake when they underestimate her. Alianna has long, wavy blonde hair that she tries to keep as perfectly styled as possible, and she often does her makeup everyday and cakes it on.
(fc: Amanda Seyfried)
--standard clothing style--
Aside from training and any uniform she may wear, Alianna likes to dress in bright, attention-catching, fiery colors, while she also gravitates towards dresses and skirts on off days. The blonde also has to make sure that whatever she wears is clean and crisp and fits well, though for undercover work she'll wear whatever she has to to succeed. Alianna also likes to paint her nails, make sure her makeup is as clean and sparkly as possible, and that her hair is done up.
strengths: she's lithe and pretty quick, and great at combat with knives and throwing knives; she's also able to sneak into places decently with her smaller form, and she's good at blending in. Also, her brain--she's super-intelligent when it comes to computers and data and explosions.
weaknesses: Alianna isn't the strongest around and she's not the best shot when it comes to firearms, or basic punching. She also...well, she's scared of water so swimming is a secret thing she has never learned to do and somehow has gotten away with never learning while at CLOUD.
background
|
|
Alianna Calico was born to two parents who had graduated from CLOUD. However, while they graduated from the Academy, they had actually been undercover spies for a darker agency that worked against the government, and they had never been caught. Alianna was taught early on to defend herself and attack people, and how to sneak up on them, and told that sometimes people deserved to be attacked because they were idiots--her parents were a horrid influence on the young girl. While at her school she found she had an early love of science and data analysis and computer hacking and such. She also found a love for bullying—Alianna found that she adored teasing people and messing with them. She would find anyone's weakness and exploit it, while also picking on those deemed "different"--she quickly became an ableist homophobe and honestly, she's a real jerk. Alianna would also be the one to wreck another students' work out of jealousy, and she learned to be patient and undercut someone secretly. Sure, she'd pick a fight sometimes, but that meant she'd get in trouble, and Alianna didn't like that. But the one time she did, when she in second grade, her parents just asked if the kid had deserved it and if Alianna had won. It was a yes to both, the blonde believed.
She was also very intelligent and moved to a higher level science and tech class than her other classmates (she went to a special private school for her first eleven years), where she began to run experiments with some nasty teacher who shared her student's love of all things terrible, so they'd test experiments on rats and stuff and explode things, which Alianna loved.
When she was twelve, CLOUD reached out to her--as her parents still were CLOUD agents, just...undermined the agency when they could and had yet to be caught. That's when Alianna learned over her parents' jobs as spies, and they pulled her aside the night before she left and explained to her that they hated the agency and really worked against it and the government, and Alianna, who had been raised to hate authority like that and controlling people as such, decided to do the same. So, she joined CLOUD at twelve as a kind of horrible spy in training but with dark ideas and goals.
There, Alianna found her skills increasing and so many new people to bully!! Ecstatic, she stated to pick on people in her house and year, and while she got in trouble sometimes it never stopped her, and she started using underhanded methods to hurt others as well when she was jealous or felt like it. After all, Alianna wanted to be the best she could, and if someone was ahead of her, she'd try and hurt them.
When in botany class when she was a second year, around age 14, Alianna decided she wanted to learn how to make poisons, so she decided to do further research. She borrowed books and contacted her parents and gained access to their darker underground agency and learned how to make deadly or sickening poisons and such which she had used on a few people around CLOUD who she wants to miss an exam day or just get humiliated or something. It's effective and nobody has proof she's poisoning people yet. When Alianna was in her fifth year, on a training mission, under chaperones, of course, she stealthily and secretly killed a student who she was jealous of, and who was a threat to her parents, and she was able to frame it like it had been a freak accident. She did the same thing at the end of the year, too, and mourned with the rest of the Academy. Of course, she'd killed before as well, as on some holidays when she joined CLOUD, her parents had her on missions for them earlier, for their own horrid agency, after she was twelve, and she killed for them, too. Her great undercover and stealth work helped, as did her ability to sabotage and track people via computers and such.
Anyway, when Alianna first came to CLOUD, she was placed in Jasmine. She didn't know how to feel about this, because again, she was also someone who was very intelligent when it came to science and computer hacking and such, but she also learned to appreciate her house placement, even love it. She had already been good at getting into places she wasn’t supposed to, and she learned to hone her skills and use them to hurt as many people as she could. She now loves to hide in places and knows how to move without making much of a sound; though she also spends time in the labs with Fern kids as well, because she’s smart and Alianna likes bombs, thank you. And hacking cameras to hide the fact she’s bullying people or sabotaging them or the Academy.
One thing that not many know though is that when Alianna was only seven, during a swimming lesson at her school, she slipped and fell into the pool and almost drowned before her teacher could save her. Alianna was horrified and it had scared her. Scarred her actually, so she’s never touched water again.
Oh and she had a boyfriend once, someone at CLOUD, when she was fifteen, but when he caught on to what she doing, to how horrible she was and her goals in life, at seventeen Alianna killed him, too, though made it look like it had been a freak accident over a holiday. Thus her loyalty isn’t quite there even more her “loved ones”.
Oh and her family are family friends with Agent Laughlin, one of the combat teachers, and his family, so Caledonia’s family. And Alianna met her via them when she was ten, and that’s when she started bullying the older girl and when she started to hate her for the first time and since then on some holidays too she’s bullied the girl.
other:
~Alianna likes salad and healthy foods but hates bland foods
~she loves dogs and wants a huge guard dog who can attack all her enemies
~she has tortured people before but nobody outside her family and who they work for knows this
~Her parents help her with her poisoning and computer hacking and encourage her terrible behavior
~she hums and giggles when she’s happy (which is a bad thing considering that means she’s doing something sadistic and terrible)

demeanor and behaviors
|
|
James is an intimidating figure. He's determined for all his students to succeed to the point where his classes are ruthless and his students leave with bloody noses and bruises. Oh well, it makes them tougher because the missions won't be easy, so why should he be easy, either? Anyway, he's passionate about what he does and his fighting gives him a bit of a thrill as well. And while he wants the students to succeed, he...well. If they are weaker and on the more frail end, then he thinks they need to wash out because they don't belong here, and he's unafraid to comment on someone's lack of ability and talent.
In all honesty, James is a jerk. He's cold and cruel and uncompromising and on missions he used to be ruthless to the point where CLOUD actually had to reign him in and force him to be a teacher, saying that his endless killing was against protocol, so here, teach people to fight instead. Partially he likes that job because he can always punch a punching bag and stuff, but like...well, he also hates being under surveillance for his behavior. So he;'s kinda on probation, part of the reason he's also so nasty.
In his classes and personal life, he hates it when people backtalk him, when they don't follow instructions, or when they break rules--he's an authoritarian figure and also very partial to Wisteria students and most hateful towards Oleander. He just hates them because he can never tell for sure if they're being honest and sincere, while he does have a slight head for science and such and understands the use of stealth. He gets Oleander, he does, just...dislikes them the most.
In his personal life, James is cruel, hands down. He's manipulative, controlling, abusive, ableist, and homophobic, though he's not sexist. He's violent and aggressive and selfish, only really out to help himself and make sure that his life is put together on the outside. James doesn't hold a lot of room in his heart for love, and really, he's only loved one person, his ex, but even then it could be viewed as infatuation and that whole thing didn't end well. He's never looked to fall in love again and doesn't want to, and resentful towards daughter, too, and hates her with almost everything in him.
Speaking of which, James has a temper. He blows up at the smallest things while also having quite the problem with impatience. Stealth isn’t his best subject.
James is also some who is jealous and evil and petty--that said, he's also determined, and it's a deadly and dangerous combination. He is unafraid to go and reach for his twisted goals in life using twisted and horrible means to get what he wants, while he's also someone who is capable of keeping secrets, though not too many because he's so angry and aggressive that he more likely than not will spill secrets if it comes down to it, though he tries not to, and man, does this jerk have a lot to hide.
strengths: he's goal-oriented and determined, while also is very organized. James knows what he wants and will do what it takes to get there. He's also pretty smart and enjoys science and math and will sometimes sneak in the labs when there's not a lot of people and develop some bombs.
weaknesses: He's...terrible! James has no qualms about hurting anyone if it means he will end up getting what he wants. He also isn't the greatest at stealth. Also, his temper is a huge weakness because he's prone to snapping.

--physical description--
James Laughlin stands tall at 6' 2", and intimidating figure of height, brawn, and so much muscle. He's a clear Wisteria by looks alone, while he also sports pale blue eyes and a head of yellow-gold blond hair. James has pale skin, larger hands and feet, and his eyes often shine with a hard, shiver-inciting glint to them.
(fc: Devin Paisley)
--standard clothing style--
Anything darker colored, or anything more on the intimidating side. He prefers combat boots and jackets, or CLOUD uniforms with a lot of weapons attached. He will not wear orange or yellow.
strengths: He's exceedingly strong and has so much muscle and could probably knock someone out by strangling them in a few seconds flat, while he could also protect and defend, while he does more killing and less protecting and defending. The point is, the man's a muscle truck and a very clear choice for a combat teacher.
weaknesses: James is not the best when it comes to combat with long sticks/longer batons, and swords. Hand to hand is his best, and he can shoot weapons, but much like his daughter he isn't the best at archery, and he really just doesn't use a lot of two-handed weapons and they're his weaker point.
background
|
|
James Laughlin was born the youngest in a family of lots of kids. They were poor, but James was determined to make something of himself the way that his siblings did; he always felt left out and overlooked, so he began to train at school to one day join the military. But when he was twelve his life took a different direction: he was recruited into the CLOUD academy for his physical strength and told he could become an agent/spy. This was even better and would get him away from his family where he felt overlooked and his parents never got along. Though, he did agree with their discipline, as they were harsh, and he believed and still does that that keeps kids in line (or thought it did). Still, James liked the idea of being an agent so he accepted and was placed into Wisteria.
He was one of their most ruthless—it was discovered that James’ temper thrived here and he would ignite fights, and he took pleasure in hurting his opponents (so slightly like father like daughter….unfortunately). But James was also just sadistic. He plunged ahead and did as well as he could. However, he never liked CLOUD’s whole “save the world” philosophy. Well, somewhat, but he was also someone who preferred to kill his enemies a lot more than CLOUD would have liked; he was overly aggressive and cruel in that respect. The one reason he wasn’t thrown out was probably because of the woman he fell for in his sixth year, Katarina Hayden, a long time classmate and someone who was so much better than he could ever be: a better person, fighter, and spy. He admired her, genuinely. He actively tried to be a better person for her, and they eventually got together. He became better and somewhat kinder as Katarina tried to keep him in line for the next few years, and when they graduated they went on missions together and even had a home.
They had a child when both were about 22 or 23, but while they were together, this placed a riff between them: James had never wanted the child, and Katarina did. He wanted her to give the kid up, she said no. James, who lately also learned his parents had died in an accident, grew nasty even to her, and he stormed off with accusations that Katarina and the unborn child had wrecked his life, and he vanished on solo missions and moved away. But when his daughter, Caledonia, was only a year old, Katarina began getting threats in the mail--James was threatening their lives. He was beyond reason at that point--he'd gone off the rails and found the darker organization Alianna and her parents were a part of and joined to spite his lover and because James felt unwanted and like a failure his whole life--he had always felt like he had to prove his worth in his huge family and even at CLOUD, he had been jealous because Katarina had graduated as the top agent in their class.
So, he turned his back on CLOUD, while pretending to serve them. Finally, he stopped threatening Katarina and his kid when Katarina called CLOUD on him, and they made it clear James was on probation--after all, "we'd hate to lose you, Laughlin, but you can't be threatening people", and they disliked how vicious he was on missions. So they pulled him and forced him to teach combat at the Academy as an outlet for his rage and for tighter supervision.
So, he kind of ignored the Katarina situation until ten years later, when, so enthralled in his new, dark organization and very much hating CLOUD and the government at this point and still crediting Katarina and his kid for hurting his stability in life, he got the help of Alianna's parents and other members of that new organization who worked in CLOUD undercover, and they created an "important" mission that only one of CLOUD's top agents could go on--they were able to pull it off, and Katarina believed it was officially sanctioned. But she never came back--James murdered her when she reached the location she was supposed to with help of his friends (or almost did and took her captive, faking her death really, really well--when I make a final choice it will be edited). Regardless, Katarina had paid for her crimes, and James and the others allowed CLOUD to try and find them. Nobody came close for the first two weeks, and Katarina was pronounced dead after the two weeks MIA. James had done it...except when Bellamy's mom and dad started to get in on it. So he had them killed, too, without remorse.
Meanwhile, he now had access to Caledonia, who he wanted to make suffer for also wrecking his life (the guy is unstable in case it was not clear). So, he stepped forward and introduced himself, and as he was her next of kin, he took her into his apartment near the Academy, moving her from Bellamy and all that was familiar to her. He saw Katarina's will had been to her daughter--the house she had had, all her money, her belongings--and so James, wanting that, took the will from his kid promising he'd "give it back when you're eighteen". He had no intent to do so, and years later he'd catch her trying to search the apartment for it, so he moved it to his office at the Academy.
Anyway, James was horrible. Purposely. On one hand he believed discipline, harsh discipline and abuse, shaped a kid, because he grown up with such, while on the other he just wanted to hurt her and remind her she was his and she'd better do whatever he said. He hoped to make her into his own agent for that organization, but she hated him. When CLOUD took her in, James still didn't leave her alone; he would beat her if her marks weren't good, if she back talked him on holidays or at home or in class, making her stay after to verbally or physically hurt her. He demeans her verbally, too, while making sure she knew just how unaccepting he was when he caught her kissing another woman. He takes pride that he was able to break her spirit a bit, though he knows she sometimes fights him still. He literally hates her and likes to make her suffer. He thinks she deserves it.
other:
~he doesn't know caledonia's also hear to uncover the truth about her mom
~he really doesn't give to shits to stopping alianna or others form bullying Caledonia
~james loves hurting and torturing prisoners, same as alianna. honestly they'd make a better father-daughter pair

pronouns: he/his
sexuality: panromantic bisexual
house or position: Oleander; Sixth Year
demeanor and behaviors
|
|
Cole is the class clown and the class playboy and everyone knows it. Ever since he was, like, fifteen, he's been flirting with everyone his grade through age seventeen as much as he can. He loved getting people flustered and riled up, and he's the type of person who dates someone for a night, maybe two, leading them on, and then dumps them, so he kind of has a reputation going that he generally enjoys. He's also the type to ask dumb questions in class and see how easily he can get a teacher all riled up and their face really red, because he thinks it's funny and entertaining. Admittedly, he feeds off audience reactions sometimes, and he’s the kid to have a lot of detentions on his record for saying dumb things and interrupting class.
All this said, Cole is actually pretty smart, and he typically does his work. But sometimes he can get lazy, and it’s on times like these when he wants and tries to make his Fern friend do his work for him. And on that note, Cole is decent at getting what he wants. His natural flair and charm comes through his flirting and even when he’s not flirting with someone (as there have been a few he has learned to Avoid At All Costs), he can be pretty persuasive and likes to think he can talk his way out of most difficult situations or into places he may not supposed to even be in. Cole’s Oleander placement is pretty accurate.
All this said, the boy is actually someone who is scared of getting close to people and who doesn’t get a lot of attention at home, both part of the reasons why he flirts and acts out at CLOUD. Of course he also enjoys flirting but deep down he holds real romantic prospects at a distance because of something that happened in his past romantically. So it may be an awkward situation if and when he genuinely likes someone enough to be with them because he’s actively trying not to do that. Of course he does genuinely love flirting, too.
Cole is the type of kid who also just likes to eat and laze around--he tends to have a large appetite, while he enjoys playing video games when he's supposed to be working or when he has time off. He can be a bit reckless sometimes, and likes getting a small adrenaline rush, but overall Cole prefers to stay home or inside versus doing something outside. He also loves undercover work because its always fun for him to act and play a character--never mind the fact part of him would love to be an actor. He just thinks it would be cool, and he loves watching live action movies and TV shows and is the person is always up to date on pop culture and stuff, which can make him kind of annoying to be around.
Oh, and Cole is also an avid drinker. Yes, he is underage, but the boy has false IDs that he gets Katniss to help him make--something is off about that girl, but she comes in handy for his exploits into getting some alcohol when he wants it. He has also been known to sneak off property with help from some Jasmine friends and go partying best he can. Of course, he's gotten caught before, but his smooth-talking charm usually helps him get out of most trouble.
He also kinda hates most heroics? Honestly he's here because his father had attended and because it gets him away from his father at most points in his life--his father's fine, a really nice guy, just...Cole doesn't like living up to his expectations. So he wants to leave, and sure, he kinda wants to not be an agent but whatever, it's somewhere Cole can lie and go undercover and have fun. Yes, he kind of sees CLOUD as a joke. Oh well, he appreciates the subject eduction in math and science and history and languages.
As for pranks. Yes. Cole is a jokester and prankster and has left many impressions on others by pranking them in some harmless (or not so harmless) way. But overall he's more about the flirting.
Cole is also kind of vain in a way and has a bit of an ego.
strengths: Cole is pretty good at convincing people and getting what he wants, whatever that objective may be. He's also skilled when it comes to intelligence, and he's smarter than he lets on.
weaknesses: He lies a lot. Like, a lot, and he also is a playboy and a class clown, none of which are stellar for his reputation.

--physical description--
Cole stands at 6 feet tall, sporting lighter-medium brown hair, that’s a bit thicker and a little longer. He had some muscle but he’s also a bit gangly and his skills don’t lie in physical abilities. Cole has brown eyes that often glint with an air of mischief, flirtation, or just...carelessness, flippancy, almost, and when he smiles, it's often in a smirk.
(fc: Brenton Thwaites)
--standard clothing style--
Cole is pretty open with what he wears, as long as it's comfortable. So while he likes looser clothing because of that, he'll also wear clothes that fit him. He likes jeans and converse-like sneakers when he's not training, while he also likes to slick his hair back all days (he will not be caught dead without that done), and he wears a watch most days as well. He tends to leave his shoes untied.
strengths: he...has some muscle. He can punch. The fact his hair looks pretty put together a lot and that his eyes sparkle quite a bit can be useful for trying to charm and convince people to do something for him quite frequently.
weaknesses: Cole isn't the best when it comes to fighting hand-to-hand or using guns, but he tries. He's a but clumsy and not the most coordinated, either, the type of person to walk into sides of doors and stuff, and trip over his untied shoelaces.
background
|
|
Cole was born to two CLOUD agents, a Wisteria-graduate father and a Fern-graduate mother. His mother, Sarah, died giving birth to him, something that while his father, Andrew, never blamed him for, Cole just always grew up fearing he was hated for that. So, Andrew raised his son as an only child, teaching him how to defend himself early, which...while Cole liked it, the kid found that his father just placed too much pressure on him, and it often began to ignore fights between them when Cole was six and older. It also didn't help that his father would leave on missions and Cole would be left wondering if he'd even come back, and he began to feel like his dad went and left him on purpose, or because he cared more about saving the world than spending time with his son. And when he did come back, he got mad because Cole would always be playing video games or something. But he was always worried that his dad wouldn't come home and it kept his mind off of that.
But the pressure and whatnot became too much, and at ten, Cole started acting up--he'd say rude things in school to get attention, and he'd purposely annoy his father for attention, too, he was just also really lonely. It got worse when he tried alcohol at a friend's house at twelve, liked it, and took a whole case home. Andrew caught him and there was a lot of yelling. Cole, always struggling between wanting Andrew's approval and feeling like he was unwanted and left out, then took the chance when CLOUD reached out to him at age twelve, and left.
Maybe his father could just be happy Cole was out of his life, holidays aside, now. His father also never liked how Cole was already flirting and being annoying at school at ages ten and eleven, and yet he didn't stop at CLOUD and it got worse because apparently his father had been a good student and the teachers expected the same from Cole, who purpose started to screw around to get attention and prove how much he hated the heroic ideals of saving the world. Well, it was what it was and his behavior got worse and he became a flirt and a playboy the older he got, while still liking the education he received. Placed in Oleander, he was relieved--an excuse to be a liar! Yes! And someone who excelled any undercover work! Also yes! And away from his father's house and legacy a bit--thank goodness.
When Cole was sixteen, he met and fell for a Fern student, Charlotte, and he actually respected her enough to put aside his playboy ways, and the two dated for a good year, where Cole actually felt valued and happy and she was happy, too: the two were perfect for each other: playing pranks, breaking curfew, sneaking out...but that's what ended up being the downfall for the couple, too. One evening, Charlotte and Cole decided to sneak off premise when they were about seventeen, and when they were caught, Cole, horrified, made an easy lie since he had perfected charming his way out—he blamed Charlotte because he was worried CLOUD would call his dad (again) and they were in a rough place and he really didn’t want to hear the disappointment. And Charlotte could hardly get a word in as Cole blamed her and she got in trouble and be got in less trouble.
But ever since that day, when she broke up with him, Cole had felt absolutely horrible, and he knows it’s his fault or that he should have taken half the blame even as Charlotte had tried to defend herself. Cole was distraught and hated himself and hence why he holds romantic partners as a distance now—he doesn’t want to hurt them they way he selfishly hurt Char. He’s been maybe half trying to find a way to reconnect with her and apologize but she ignores him, avoids him, and blocked his number and social media accounts. Cole is heartbroken and that is another reason he threw himself back into dating and one night make out sessions even more. As a distraction. So his reckless, class clown, playboy behavior is back again and with a vengeance, and he still kind of wants to make his dad proud while also make his own way in life. And deep down he wants to be loved.

Robin is someone who understands and appreciates the value of family and loyalty. She’s incredibly loyal to CLOUD while she also adores her family to no end. Unlike some people, she doesn’t see emotions as weakness, and instead pushes people to be human. That said, she knows they’re at a spy school and that emotions can be a liability, and so she also says there is a time and place for them. Missions are usually not that place unless it’s undercover or it cannot be helped. But other than that, if someone is having a crisis, she’s open to being the one to help them; it comes from having two younger siblings.
Robin is not someone to try and lie to or to try to get away with something around—she’s the head of Jasmine, and if any of the students try something, she’s more stealthy than them, right? She was the top of her class and now she’s the head of the house, and Robin is extremely observant and silent. So, she’s onto Alianna, or at least onto the fact someone in Jasmine is causing problems, she’s trying to figure out who. The redhead is patient, having spent many nights hiding in rafters and in dark spaces on missions to gain intel. She’s literally one of the most patient people ever.
But don’t make her mad, because when she’s angry she can get snappy and sarcastic and a bit harsh. Not harsh in a way she’d hurt someone—she’s a pretty good person—but she is harsh in terms of carrying out punishments like extra training, more work, cold lectures, all of that. Because she hates bullying and hates people joking around, as missions can be serious and to her, everyone has to have their mind clear for them. So she’s very much a separation of emotion and mission work type of advocate. But she can, again, be compassionate, though her sense of humor is varied. It depends on her mood and who she is with, and she’s more likely to act like a friend around the sixth and seventh years than with anyone younger, and while she makes an effort to get to know people, she won’t be a best friend with them. She has boundaries. Though she is good with kids.
All this said, Robin is closed about her personal life. There’s nothing really bad about it, kind of, but part of her intelligence gaining stealth personality has a need to protect her loved ones and just…it’s not her students’ businesses to know about her life unless she tells them. She is, though, open to helping Jasmine students in their skill sets and will give tips. Robin is also very good at keeping secrets and hiding her emotions when need be. She's strong-willed and not easily broken, and she does tend to try and find something positive in the world whenever she can. She believes people are a mix of bad and good and that nobody is perfect, and she's someone who doesn't advocate for killing enemies unless there is really no other option, and even then she won't celebrate it.
She's focused and determined, and scarily quiet and observant when she wants to be. She's great at slipping into and out of places without being seen, and she's very used to undercover work as well. While she's okay at lying, too, as she has to be for undercover work, she strengths lie in stealth. Another thing about Robin is that she's an advocate of rehabilitation for criminals. Yes, some deserve to be locked up, but while locked up she is an advocate for giving them education and help, to try and help them become productive members of society again.
As for rules...it's complicated. On one hand, she knows not following them on missions is a no-no, because people can get killed. And some rules must be followed: treat others with respect unless they're absolute assholes; don't kill people; all of that. But. She grew up kinda a thief. She never felt super good about it but she did anyway because her family never had a lot of money, so she'd steal things to get her siblings some birthday presents or cake from time to time. And now, she's someone who understands poverty and what it can make someone do, so Robin, in her mind, knows that stealing is something people justify, and something she tends to punish less. She would rather work with the person and fix the root of the problem than punish them, but even then it depends on what they steal. Robin is also not someone who cares too much about curfew--if you break it to go eat food, sure, whatever. Just don't go off campus and start partying. Then she'll get ticked off. She can also be stubborn sometimes, and hates being injured and can sometimes argue with her own superiors.
strengths: stealth; slipping in and out of places unnoticed; she genuinely cares about the students in her house and about most people in general, and she understands that humans are just that...humans. Not robots or weapons. Intelligence gathering.
weaknesses: She can be a bit unpredictable when angry because nobody knows if she'll act all uppity and give them the silent treatment, or get snippy. She's also not the best at lying in comparison to others, but she's not horrible at it. She also doesn't care too much if students break certain rules, so as a house head it may be a bit of an issue, but she's dedicated and cares about the kids, and as a Jasmine nobody has proof she breaks curfew herself.

--physical description--
Robin stands at around 5’ 8”, and she’s also on the thinner side. Her skin is very pale, so she burns easily, while she has a dusting of freckles on her face and arms. She had green eyes and thick, long red hair that is almost always pulled back.
(FC: whoever this is)
--standard clothing style--
Robin likes leather jackets, jeans or leggings, and boots, while she also likes colors in the grey and black families. She’s not a fan of bright colors especially reds, yellows, and oranges because she doesn’t think they look the best with her hair.
strengths: she's lithe and quick-footed, and she's able to stand small and uncomfortable places; also, she's a fast runner, or used to be.
weaknesses: physical strength--Robin was never the most gifted at fighting, and since she's been injured, she walks with a slight limp unless on pain medications.
background:

|
Robin was born to a poorer family in England, in a small country village. She loved it, the rolling green hills and the rain. She was the oldest of three total siblings, her younger twin siblings being born when she was four years old. Robin immediately fell in love with them and would do what she could to take care of them when her parents were busy or at work. As for her parents, Robin was born into a loving family. No matter how much the family suffered financially, they were always so supportive and tight-knit. Everyone loved one another and still does, while always working hard to make commitments to each others; extra-curricular activities work out.
So, she grew up always knowing she was accepted by loving, open-minded, and supportive people. Robin and her siblings attended a local public school, and while there Robin fell in love with running and cross country, joining the cross country team when she was ten. The feeling of freedom it gave her was thrilling, and her parents would go to every match they could, while her little siblings would also cheer her on.
While the family was loving and supportive, Robin was also someone who, at times, would break house rules just to help her siblings be happier. She developed a habit it early on of sneaking into the kitchen and giving her siblings extra deserts, while she one day ended up breaking the law--she was only ten, and her family was doing even worse off financially after her dad lost his job, sending the family to one income versus two. It was her twin siblings' birthday and she wanted to get them a cake, but they couldn't;t afford one that year. So, breaking the law, Robin snuck into the bakery and managed to make off with a small cake for her siblings without being caught....yet. Point was, she was able to do it, and while her parents were horrified, the worst that happened was Robin getting grounded for two months. But even then she ended up sneaking out to visit friends at night. That's how great she became at sneaking around without being caught.
One night, though, when she was twelve, Robin--who had made a bit of a habit of stealing to make sure her siblings had what they needed for a comfortable enough life--was caught by a CLOUD agent trying to steal some new clothes for her siblings, as her mother had lost her job the year before as well, and finances were very tight as her father had found a job that paid even less at this point. But what happened next, well, Robin credited the agency with saving her--they invited her to join CLOUD and train as an agent, something that would earn her enough to actually help support her family and get herself out of poverty. While Robin didn't want to leave her loving family, she also hated theft of that sort because she knew it was wrong, and this way maybe she could actually help her family. So she accepted the offer, and the agents paid her family enough to get them through the next year. Thankfully, her parents found better-playing jobs again within that year, and while to this day they don't make a lot, it's better than it was and Robin wouldn't feel the need to steal when she came home on breaks anymore.
At CLOUD, Robin was placed in Jasmine, the house of stealth, and she moved through the ranks fast, was a quick and larger learner. She graduated at the top of her class and went immediately into the field. She enjoyed her time on stake out missions, grabbing intelligence and such to help the world, from 19-22, took a year off until she was 23, and went back in the field until she was 24. But that's when disaster struck.
On a mission, Robin, one of the best and youngest Jasmines, was with a group of students, and she and the Oleander on the team together deduced one of their teammates, the Wisteria, was actually working for a bad organization and when they found out, they were attacked and incapacitated, and the Wisteria was able to steal the intelligence Robin had just gathered. He wounded her leg, making her unable to ever walk again without a limp, unless she;'s on pain medication. Upset, and unable to be as fast and stealthy as she used to be, and not wanting to be on medication as much, Robin exited the filed and applied for the position of the head of Jasmine House at the Academy. She was given it, and this is her second year. She doesn't hate it, but she misses the field. Occasionally, if it's desperate or she's feeling ambitious or stubborn, she will join a mission and take the medication. She still tries undercover sometimes, but prefers the stealth stake-outs and intelligence grabs without undercover work. Both are okay though, and sometimes she fights the superiors who want her off field because of her wound.

demeanor and behaviors

Sansa is someone who genuinely wants to help people. She wants to make the world so much better and joined CLOUD to do so, believing wholeheartedly in what they stand for, being a hero. Even though Sansa is selfless--she doesn't care if she's a hero or gets recognition, she just wants to protect and help and heal, and this is a way she can do that. She's a kind-hearted, compassionate person, selfless to the point of death and will go out of her way to make sure someone has comfort or feels like they're not alone. Open-minded, open-hearted, she's just so dang sweet.
However, Sansa is also very timid, and soft-spoken, and she gets nervous around large crowds and too many people, especially when there's a lot of noise and lights--basically, the party scene and concerts are not her cup of tea. She's not a fan of public speaking, and is also incredibly shy and quiet, and while the girl dislikes bullies and abhors violence--she's a pacifist--she is too afraid to really stand up for herself or others, though she will go stand by the side of someone being bullied and suffer the pain with them, and then speak to them alone when the bullies leave, or she'll go and get a professor. She just won't verbally or physically confront anyone.
Sansa is also very intelligent and medically-oriented. So, Sansa is...well, she suffers from some social anxiety more than any other type of anxiety. She's always afraid people are judging her, even if they're not, or that they'll looking or talking about her, and she's worried what others think even as part of her is secure in who she is; that is. she's happy in Fern and hates it when people put her house down. Sometimes, she stammers when she speaks, but she's much better and less anxious around one or two people or in the infirmary where she's more confidence and feels like she can get los in her work.
She likes science and inventions and working with her hands in the labs, but she's the Fern who, instead of making bombs, makes devices to protect CLOUD agents or simply and harmlessly incapacitate an enemy. She also spends time working on serums that can save lives, and when she's not found in the labs, she can be found in the infirmary, helping out. She's not huge on making poisons and actively refuses to make anything that kills or brings someone a lot of pain, even if it wares off, but she will make, again, mixtures that are much less lethal or are helpful and harmless. She's also medically trained, and likes working in the infirmary because it not only makes her feel useful, but she feels that she can help people this way as well. Sansa is not a squeamish person, and is one who stays calm in emergencies.
She loves the outdoors, just not going on high adventures--that is, she'll study outside, walk through gardens, and go on relatively mild hikes, and garden, but she will not go bungee jumping or wander off the trail or something, but she loves the sunshine and bright, spring days with a bit of breeze.
Additionally, she's forgiving and is not someone who is easily angered (well, she can get angry but she holds it in--it's more like she can get upset and frustrated with the lack of kindness in the world), but she does forgive and move on even if she never forgets. She'll give people second, sometimes even third, chances, which...is probably not great for someone who is supposed to be a spy, but oh well. She trusts a lot. Maybe too easily, and she's also a typically patient person. She's super smart but not always great at reading people, assuming either everyone in a room is talking about her, or, if meeting someone one on one, and they seem nice, automatically thinks they're trustworthy. So. Oleanders are not her favorite people because they can easily dupe someone.
Sansa is also a very dedicated and hard worker, while she will strive for anything she puts her mind to. She can be hard on herself, but she understands people all make mistakes; she's not a full perfectionist, just a bit.
strengths: medical knowledge; intelligence; she's a very, very smart person. She's also super kind and loyal and someone who will put herself out there to help others even at her own risk. She's very patient as well, at least usually unless it's a music emergency, but she can keep calm in those, too.
weaknesses: she's incredibly shy and struggles with social anxiety which can make some missions and some setting very hard for her; she also trusts too easily and is scared of firearms,

--physical description--
Sansa is about 5' 7", and she has a healthy build and a gorgeous smile that makes her dark brown eyes shine. Her skin is a warm, dark brown, while her hair is thick, dark brown/black, and she always makes sure it's as lovely looking as it can be. Sansa has a birthmark on the inside of her right arm.
(fc: Aja Naomi King)
--standard clothing style--
Outside of training, she likes to wear skirts and dresses and little ankle-high boots. She also likes necklaces, gold to silver, and ones that have little gems as the pendants.
strengths: she's skilled with her hands, and they're quick and nimble. She's also just gorgeous, so if she had to flirt her way into something, if she knew how to lie well and be fake and that confidence, she probably could?
weaknesses: haha, physical strength. Not only does she not like violence, she does not have the muscle for it and actually doesn't go to combat classes, having an excuse of being a pacifist. All she knows how to do is defend herself and take someone down to save herself and others. She will not touch any weapons that are made to kill.
background

|
Sansa was born to two absolutely loving parents, neither of whom were CLOUD agents, and she lived a relatively normal life with them and a little sister, Malia, who is about four years her junior. Her parents were on the wealthier side, so life was comfortable: the two girls had a private education through their acceptances into CLOUD. Sansa found early she was in love with school and education--she adored all her science classes, and found history of diseases and medicines as fascinating, and by the time she was seven she already had some really neat ideas for medical advancements and ideas for things that could help people. Her parents were impressed, and the girl ended up in an advanced science after-school program to help advance her learning even more, where she was really happy.
Now, Sansa was always shy; she just was, it was part of her nature. But her real school anxiety started at age seven, when some kids at school began to bully her--not a lot, but enough about her clothes and hair, enough to make her insecure, and it continued until she was nine years old and she just got self-conscious and paranoid everyone was talking about her. Thankfully, her parents tried to help convince her this was not true.
But what wasn't great was when Sansa's father died of cancer when she was nine and a half. Her parents had hid it from her and Malia, not wanting to frighten them, but when he died, Sansa closed up and became even more scared and quiet than she already was, and only her two best friends who she'd known since she was a child (as they lived on either side of her home), could get through to her, and kind of her mother as well. Something else that helped her cope though was her determination to find a cure for cancer. In her mind, it was possible and it's still something she's working on.
When she was twelve, she and her mother got the notice, the invitation, for her to attend CLOUD. Being a spy or agent was never something Sansa had considered before, and at first she refused until she and her mother decided to just give it a try two weeks later. so she joined and was placed in Fern. She was even more petrified and anxious because she was in a new, tougher place, but she was able to find comfort in the infirmary--she went right to them and the doctors and scientist and presented some ideas and designs and stated her desire to help, and they agreed, seeing some of her work. But as she went through the Academy, she realized how revulsed she was when it came to firearms and violence--it was sickening. Wisteria made her sick, especially the students who goaded fights and stuff. She understood the need, sort of, of having someone defending a squad or needing to defend herself--and she grudgingly knows how now--but...she realized she was a pacifist. So she actually talked with admin about this, and they allow for her to remain out of most combat classes so long as she knows the basics and keeps up her good work in the intelligence arena and carries non-lethal weapons when she goes on missions, and she has agreed to this.
Sansa was delighted when Malia joined at twelve, but her sister was placed in Jasmine, which Sansa found fitting enough for her. They are still pretty close, and are both close with their mother, too, who is loving and supportive of her daughters, and of Sansa, who came out as bi when she was fourteen. At the Academy, sometimes she was bullied and teased for being so quiet and for her sanity, which of course just made it worse, but other than that she's pretty happy and wants to serve on missions as a medic and a tech-y, or someone ho knows her science. All three, really. She wants to help protect people, make the world safer, and be there for others, help heal them if she can.
