Dorabella Torchwell
- Gender:
- Female
- Age:
- 19
- Orientation:
- Homosexual
Doesn't answer to anything but Torch. Plays bass and sings lead in a semi-popular local band called Flamethrower, works in her dad's music shop the rest of the time. Comes off as loud and arrogant and a little bit mouthy but rarely actually says anything important. Hides behind her lyrics, which are mostly angry or sad or longing or all three. Has few friends but is fiercely protective of and very cuddly with the people she's close to. Is in love with Evie, her best friend, and hates that she's so much of a cliche.
-
Evie Thompson
- Gender:
- Female
- Age:
- 19
- Orientation:
- Straight
Studying Physics and Philosophy at Bristol so she could stay close to her family (and Torch). Clever with a sharp tongue and an expansive vocabulary, reads a lot of books with pretentious titles. Is very open about her feelings, but also very stubborn and unwilling to change. Has been friends with Torch since the start of secondary school, and they're the kind of friends people lovingly refer to as the old married couple because they bicker so much. Has a blog which she uses mostly to post all her intellectual thoughts.
-
Kieran Whiteside
- Gender:
- Male
- Age:
- 18
- Orientation:
- Straight
Plays lead guitar in Torch's band, mooches off his rich parents so he doesn't have to work. Likes wearing skinny jeans and pink cardigans, is quite sensitive and thoughtful and a little bit soppy, and is a massive fan of Disney which leads people to assume that he's gay, but he's really not. Has been friends with Torch since they were tiny, isn't a massive fan of Evie. Sometimes is a little too nice, a little too passive-agressive, willing to let things go too easily.
-
Steffie Murphy
- Gender:
- Female
- Age:
- 19
- Orientation:
- Straight
Plays drums in Torch's band, teaches sign language to pay the bills. Has been dating Kieran for nearly as long as the band's been in existence. Is kind of protective of Torch because she knows how fragile she is, despite the hard exterior. Kind of the go-to fix-it person whenever someone has a problem, because she's organised and efficient and just a little bit bossy. Radiates awesomeness, makes friends really easily and can talk to anyone about anything. Sort of a little bit bi-curious, more heteroflexible than anything.
-
Charlotte Yuen
- Gender:
- Female
- Age:
- 19
- Orientation:
- Bisexual
Sort of a musical genius; plays the violin and the banjo and the accordion and a shit ton of other instruments besides. Mostly plays the violin for Torch's band, writes a lot of the melodies to go with Torch's lyrics. Studying engineering at Bristol to keep her parents happy but her heart isn't in it. Very quiet and chronically shy, with a wry sort of humour when she does talk. Has a sort of crush on everyone in the band, especially Steffie because everyone has a crush on Steffie, but she loves them all kind of a lot.
