spectralid's ocs ~ welcome to the tri-county area

these are all my characters who reside in Aspen County, which is heavily inspired by different parts of the Pacific Northwest. i think it's very under-utilized in media, and also very pretty. i've been writing my own characters as early as 6 or 7 years old. i've been quite shy to share them for the longest time, but perhaps this'll be the start of it. i haven't written about it Completely but there's something i've been working on and off, something about magic, alternate dimensions, age-old kingdoms, magical girls, and maybe some romance.

emily faulkner andrea chisholm thompson corbalis

name: emily faulkner-parkington

age: 14

height: 4’11

lives with her step-sisters after her mother disappeared, and her father was too busy to take care of her.

species: human, but secretly part fae

gender: female

hair: lengthy, wavy, and dark brown. It’s kept up with a large pink bow, fashioned out of a ribbon gifted to her cousin. When Emily was little, her hair was styled into high pigtails. Elysia’s hair was rather long, a petal pink, and also wavy. This is what Emily’s hair becomes when she isn’t wearing her pouch necklace. Whenever Emily transforms, her hair is in a low, long ponytail. She still wears the bow ribbon. She always is.

Eyes: A blank canvas kind of grey, matching a milquetoast, overcast day. Whenever she turns into Scarlett Elegance or isn’t wearing her pouch necklace, they shine with a golden sheen.

Personality: Often called a buzzkill behind her back, Emily Faulkner is an oddly experienced girl. Secretly childish and tends to daydream. Any secrets she’s involved with are Iron-Clad. When it comes to things that seriously matters, she becomes surprisingly passionate about them. Others think that she’s unassuming under her reserved and mature guise. She gets embarassed pretty easily and tends to whine.

Emily is completely different from her step-sisters, which is who she lives with since her mother disappeared, and when her father was deemed too negligent. The three sisters find their former cousin to be incredibly boring. Which is why they all try to craft her in their own images. Lucy is constantly plotting Something about her prima ballerina past. Athena is forever trying to get her involved in some kind of school idol nonsense, while Caroline prefers to call her to assist something with science or fashion.

After the neglect Emily’s father left her with, she doesn’t know what to do with all the attention. It’s overwhelming. Once she began living with her step-sisters, one of the few things they gave her was their old clothing. Despite this, she doesn’t wear any of it. She prefers to wear her school uniform on any given day, since it lets her hide and blend in with the crowd.

Even if her mother disappeared when she was little, her influence on Emily still lives. She continues to act refined and with poise. Her mother wanted her to grow up to be a lady, and she would’ve had a very sophisticated upbringing.
