    Character Bio:

    Katie's character:
    Image
    Name: Molly Davies
    Born and raised in a town halfway between Orlando and the coast. Having lived in the area all her life, she is used to dealing with tourists year round. Everyone around her knows her as a little ray of sunshine, and there is rarely a time when she isn't happy. She always tries to look on the bright side of things, and it's not hard when she gets to spend most of her time in the sun. She is a very social person and hates to be alone, which is only good to a fault. Her biggest downfall is that she is too trusting, and it often leads her into getting into relationships and friendships with bad people. She always tries to see the good in them, so it's hard for her to let go, even when everyone around her sees what's wrong with them.

    Molly is currently in between high school and college, and is still deciding what she wants to do with her life. She's taking a year off from school, much to her parents' dismay, because she wants to explore the world. She sees the contest as the perfect opportunity to see new places without her costing a dime. She works at a small surf shop part time to save up money to travel, and even though she doesn't make much, she saves every penny she can. She can't wait to be one of the tour guides so she can show everyone what her area has to offer.

    Jewel's character:
    Image
    Name: Noémie Mallory Cazé
    20 years old and in her third year of architecture studies at the École d'Architecture Marne-la-Vallée in the eastern part of Paris. She was born and raised in Grenoble, which is where her part of the story will take place. She's a bit of a free spirit; she doesn't like being told what to do and has a rebellious streak. She's very into fashion and her appearance, which makes her come off as shallow and stuck-up at times. While that can be true, she's generally a bit shy and introverted.

    Jordy's character:
    Image
    Name: May Hawk
    Background: May comes from a very family orientated background. May has a very sweet nature to her, however she only has a couple of close friends because her personality is naive and she often gets pushed around by people.
    May was convinced to join the contest in a hopes that she'll learn to make proper friends and become more independent. She accepted at the thought of being able to show off her beautiful culture.

    May isn't a Directioner, in fact she barely knows of their existence so when she learns she gets to host them she feels bad for taking away the opportunity of a "true" fan to do this, however she thinks it'll be fun and hopes to fit in anyway.

    Esther's character:
    Image
    Name: Lauren 'Wren' Malloy
    A nineteen years old and from the small country town Wudinna, in the lower part of South Australia. She grew up working on the farm with her parents she has gained several friends over the years and knows everyone in her small town. She is a bright bubbly girl and has a friendly personality. She has finished school but has no desire to go off to University she prefers to stay on the farm and help keep that up and running, she enjoys the freedom and she hates the city. It's too busy and somewhat claustrophobic to her. She's a Directioner but she keeps it on the down low.

    Lina's character:
    Image
    Name: Eliska Yong
    Background : She's an heiress to one of the biggest business in Malaysia. Due to her family background, she doesn't really have many friends because most of the people that get close to her have other ulterior motives. She is quiet, observant and prefers to sit back and just watch other people. Because of her quiet nature, people often mistaken her for a snob while she's actually a really nice person when you get to know her. After freshly graduating from college, she doesn't want to straight away take over her father's business thus, she enters the competition to try something new; and probably find herself on the way.

    She's also a closet Directioner. She doesn't have many friends so she doesn't really know how to obsess about her interest with other people. And she doesn't really fit in with the group in the beginning.

    Hello! I'm Katie Cute
    My first question is: are our girls all from different countries or one country?

    I've been thinking about it alot and it depends, do we want the guys to be together? Or do we like the thought of them going off to a different country each?

    I think they'd be funnier all together in a group and our stories would connect better but there'd also be more diversity in our characters if they were from different countries. It's a tough choice!

    It is a tough choice, lol! As Katie said, it'll be interesting if the characters are from different countries because of the diversity and we can see different cultures. But... if they're all together, it'll be a lot funnier because you know, the guys can freak out over new things together and that would be hilarious!

    p/s : When I told my friend that the original idea of this story is set in New Zealand, she just laughed and said that Harry can fit in well because he has one thing in common with the cows. He has four nipples. I swear... my friend is so... Facepalm

    Yeah that's what I was thinking, plus it'll be hard to write about a country you don't know about well ._.

    I've never been anywhere outside my country either. But we can always research together. ^_^ It'll be a lot of fun! And it can add our knowledge about the world.

    I'm fine with whatever you guys want to do! What do you guys think will be best? We could have it so they're all from different countries and they're going to a country none of them have ever been? That would be less of them being tour guides and more of a disaster waiting to happen though XD

    Say we did it in our own countries but did it it like little towns or places that like no one has really heard of.

    I just don't know how well our stories are going to connect if they're all from different countries and the boys/girls never see each other. We could do it that way, but it'd be like we were all writing separate stories and putting them together.

    So you're saying that the girls are from different countries and they're gathered into one country that they've never been into with the One Direction boys? Dude! That sounds awesome! And not to mention, it'll get crazy and disastrous. Lol!

    @ MissSpitfire

    I imagine a rural area in which there's not much technology like computers and even the cell phone don't really have receptions over there. And it's very calming but boring too!

    @ Death The Angel

    I really don't mind either way. I always love writing about new things. ^_^

    We could have it so they move to each other's countries? so it's rotational?

    I kinda like the idea that the girls all won some kind of contest and flown into another country to meet up with the boys. Like, it's their reward for winning. They can spend the whole season of the reality show with the boys in different country. And the girls can come from different places.

    Am I making any sense?
