( * BELLAMY BLAKE, THE HEART / manny jacinto.

⌞ ⌝ bellamy blake was born into hardship on the ark, growing up as a working-class citizen under the station’s regime. his father was absent, and his mother’s illegal second child—his sister, octavia—forced him into a life of secrecy and sacrifice. to protect her, he became skilled at lying, stealing, and navigating the ark’s harsh politics, developing a deep resentment for its privileged elite. at 23, after his mother was executed and octavia imprisoned, he made a desperate choice: he shot chancellor jaha to secure her release, then smuggled himself onto the dropship to earth. on the ground, bellamy emerged as a natural but controversial leader, using charisma and fear to control the delinquents. his mantra—"whatever the hell we want"—reflected his distrust of authority and his belief in survival at any cost. though ruthless, he wasn’t heartless, far from it ; his actions were driven by loyalty, guilt, and a need to prove himself. over time, clarke’s influence and his own moral struggles softened him, but he never fully escaped his past. haunted by his choices, he swung between protector and rebel, soldier and traitor—always fighting for his people, even when it broke him.

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ i'm completely divergent from season 4 onwards. up until today i've never seen the show's finale and don't intend do.

⤿ i also ship bellarke very passionately, but i'm open to ships! bellamy is bisexual, closeted.

⤿ i tend to prefer to explore bellamy in his other alternative verses rather than canon,

THE HUNGER GAMES: bellamy blake was district 2’s wildcard victor — a storm-bred fighter who turned the games into his personal war against the capitol. he charmed the cameras with roguish smiles while sabotaging the arena from within, cutting tracker jacker nests loose and redirecting mutts toward career packs. he played the reluctant killer but won through brutal pragmatism, burning down a quarter of the arena just to smoke out his final opponent. now, as a victor, he’s a ticking time bomb in a tailored suit, mentoring tributes through gritted teeth while smuggling weapons to district 13.

THE LAST OF US: bellamy blake was fedra—until he wasn’t.  he followed orders, wore the uniform, even believed in their "order" at first—until his mother died coughing up blood in a qz clinic that refused to treat "low-priority" citizens, and until he caught his superiors eyeing octavia like she was just another asset to control. so he stole guns, supplies, and his sister, vanishing into the ruins before they could put a bullet in him. now he survives as a smuggler with a reputation:  gets you what you need, no questions, unless you’re fedra—then he’ll take your payment and leave you for dead.  he’s got a knife with seven notches (one for each fedra patrol that chased them), a flannel octavia outgrew still shoved in his pack, and a rule:  no kids on the job.

DEMIGOD VERSE: bellamy blake was aphrodite’s worst-kept secret—a demigod with her charm and ares’s battle-lust burning in his blood.  his mother never claimed him, but the war god saw potential in the way he fought:  dirty, desperate, like survival was a religion.  now, his sword glows faintly crimson when he’s outnumbered, and his smile disarms enemies faster than any blade. he leads a ragtag band of outcast demigods, defending the unclaimed and the unwanted—because he remembers octavia, starving and hiding in their cramped apartment while monsters pounded the door.  "we don’t wait for the gods to save us," he snarls, parrying a drakon’s fangs with a shield stolen from a fallen amazon.  "we save ourselves."

( * ZHAO LIAN, THE QUIET STRENGTH / zhang rounan.

⌞ ⌝ zhao lian grew up in chongqing, where the fog clung to the streets like gauze and the neon signs bled color into the rain. she was the quiet twin, the one who lingered half a step behind, content to watch while her sister laughed with strangers, tugging her along into mischief. lian preferred the stillness of empty classrooms, the weight of a charcoal pencil in her hand. she sketched everything—the curve of her sister’s cheek when she smiled, the way the light caught the steam rising from a bowl of noodles. she dreamed of art school, of quiet studios where no one would expect her to speak. then they moved to america, and the world became too loud. the twins clung to each other, whispering in dialect under their breath, a private language no one else understood. lian’s sketches turned darker—smudged edges, fractured lines. her sister teased her for being too serious, but she was the only one who never pushed lian to talk when she didn’t want to. then, one evening, her sister went out to buy churros from a street vendor and never came back. a stray bullet, the police said. a gas station robbery gone wrong. no suspects. just a body on a cold sidewalk, the skewered candies scattered like broken glass. lian didn’t scream. she didn’t cry. she sat in the hospital waiting room, perfectly still, while her parents sobbed. the next morning, she burned all her sketchbooks. art required faith in beauty, in meaning. she no longer believed in either. she joined the police because it was the opposite of everything she’d ever wanted. it forced her to look at the world as it was—ugly, chaotic, full of people who didn’t care about the damage they left behind. she expected to hate it. instead, she found a strange comfort in the order of it: the meticulous paperwork, the way evidence could be pieced together like a puzzle. she was shockingly good at it. her shyness became an asset—people talked more when they thought she wasn’t paying attention. her intelligence was quiet but razor-sharp; she noticed the things others missed, the inconsistencies in stories, the way a person’s hands betrayed them. when the undercover division recruited her, they called her a “natural observer.” they didn’t realize how long she’d been practicing. now, she moves through the world like a ghost. her colleagues describe her as “sweet but hard to read” — the kind of person who brings homemade tangyuan to the office but eats alone at her desk, who remembers everyone’s coffee order but never joins them for drinks after work. she listens more than she speaks, and when she does talk, her voice is so soft people lean in without realizing it. the criminals she infiltrates underestimate her. they see a timid woman, someone who flinches at raised voices, who apologizes too much. they don’t see the way her mind works — calculating, patient, filing away every weakness, every lie. she doesn’t care about revenge. she cares about patterns. about the way violence echoes, the way a single moment can unravel a life. she’s there to make sure the math adds up. sometimes, when she’s alone in her apartment, she tries to draw again. her hands remember the motions, but the lines come out stiff, lifeless. she tells herself it doesn’t matter. the work is what matters. the work is real.

zodiac:  pisces

sexuality: bisexual

⤿ this is an original character. lian speaks both english and mandarin chinese. she's open to affiliates.

THE HUNGER GAMES: lian isn't reaped for the games - she volunteers for something quieter, deadlier. after her sister's name gets called one reaping day (a bureaucratic error, they said later, too late), lian stops painting flowers on scraps of fabric and starts memorizing peacekeeper rotations instead. district 8's factories taught her how to move unseen between looms, how to mend torn cloth so the damage disappears. she uses those skills now, stitching herself into the peacekeeper ranks with careful precision. they think she's just another meek recruit from the districts, eager to please, too soft-spoken to cause trouble. she lets them believe it. her uniform fits a little too well, her boots never scuff, her reports are always perfectly filed. it's the small things that matter - a misplaced keycard here, a delayed patrol route there. the rebellion doesn't need more fire, it needs someone who can bank the flames just right. so she watches, she waits, she adjusts the machinery of oppression one nearly imperceptible tweak at a time. when the gas in the peacekeeper barracks mysteriously fails during a crucial raid, when the surveillance cameras in sector 7 develop odd blind spots, no one thinks to suspect the quiet girl from the textiles district. after all, what could someone like that possibly understand about war?

THE LAST OF US/APOCALYPSE: lian zhao was born twelve years after the world ended, raised in the seattle qz by a pair of ex-military parents who drilled survival into her bones before she could ride a bike - how to clear a room, how to disappear into urban rubble, how to kill a man twice her size if he didn't hear her coming. her slight frame belying the way she can scale fire escapes like a shadow or drop a wolf patrol with three precise shots from a stolen pistol before melting back into the ruins. the qz fell when she was fifteen, and she's been adapting ever since - not joining factions, just surviving, trading intel for bullets with whoever pays best while secretly leaving caches of supplies where desperate families might find them. her sister died holding a checkpoint so others could flee, and now lian moves through seattle's corpse like a ghost, sabotaging wolf supply lines not for revenge but because someone's got to tilt the scales for the little guys. she doesn't wear insignia, doesn't take sides, just moves through the cracks in this broken world with a sniper's patience and a stolen radio whispering enemy movements to anyone decent enough to listen.

DEMIGOD VERSE: lian zhao was claimed by chang'e, the moon goddess, on the night of the mid-autumn festival when she was thirteen, not with celestial fanfare but with the reflection of the full moon perfectly still in her untouched cup of tea while chaos erupted around her. she’s always been too soft-spoken for the usual divine drama, her quiet presence mistaken for meekness—until the shadows stretch too long around her, until she moves with impossible grace under moonlight, footsteps silent as if she’s barely touching the ground. the other demigods whisper that she’s more ghost than warrior, slipping through battles like mist, her strikes precise but never showy, as if she’s fighting from the corner of your eye. she wears her mortal twin sister’s red bracelet, the one that didn’t save her from being taken by a yaoguai who thought it was hunting a goddess’s child.

( * CRUELLA DE VIL / emma stone.

⌞ ⌝ estella is a sharp-tongued girl with a gift for stitching trouble into something beautiful, her split-colored hair the first clue she'd never fit neatly into anyone's box. after losing her mother, she clawed her way through london's grime, surviving on quick fingers and quicker wits while her sewing needle turned rags into revelations. the mousey estella persona got her through doors, but it was cruella who burned them down - all swirling coats, calculated chaos, and a smirk that promised she'd either make you famous or ruin you before tea time. fashion became her weapon, each stitch a middle finger to the world that tried to break her.

height: 5'4"

zodiac:  scorpio

sexuality: bisexual

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ this cruella is based on the 2021 movie only. so, no dog killing in this version though cruella is still a very excentric and sometimes cruel person. she can be snappy, for example.

⤿ she's also extremely rich not only due to her inheritance from the baroness, but also because in the main storyline i like to write, she's an already estabilished stylist after the events from the film. she's a celebrity, has cruel rumours about her spread around, but only a few of them are actually true.

 THE HUNGER GAMES: estella "cruella" de vil  emerged from district 8, where the textile mills choked the sky with smoke and her mother's loom fed the capitol's endless hunger for finery. she learned early that beauty was just another weapon - dressed tributes in fabrics that bled color when cut, turned their costumes into traps. the capitol adored her vicious creativity, never realizing her designs were middle fingers stitched in silk. when her games ended (her mentor's neck snapped clean by a falling light rig, such a tragic accident), she stayed as a stylist, smirking behind her cigarette holder while turning each new tribute into her personal revenge art. snow calls her brilliant but unstable; the rebels call her useful but dangerous; she calls the shots, because someone's got to burn this whole damn system to the ground.

( * TESSA GRAY, THE UNIQUE WARLOCK / anamaria vartolomei.

⌞ ⌝ tessa gray is a half-demon, half-nephilim hybrid — an extremely rare warlock born without any demonic mark. raised as a normal human in new york, she only discovers her true nature when she travels to london to find her missing brother. her mother was a shadowhunter and her father a powerful demon (later revealed to be belial, a prince of hell), making tessa both dangerous and valuable. her unique shape-shifting ability lets her transform into any person and access their memories, a power that puts her at the center of supernatural conflicts.

height: 5'4"

sexuality:  heterosexual

zodiac sign: virgo

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ tessa is considered one of the most powerful characters in canon and yet that is never fully explored. i intend to go into depth, making her a very important figure within the spiral labyrinth. a teacher, a reseacher, and a field player for warlock-related missions.

⤿ i like to develop her powers into different manners than canon. when she shapeshifted, since she got people's memories, that led her to having huge mental trauma and strain. sometimes she hears voices or gets lost within her head, similar to a digenerative disease. i'll explore this with care, though. she also has the power of shapeshifting still, but not getting to people's thoughts when she does. she can transform into animals, and prefers the shape of an owl.

⤿ after will's passing and many years after, since jem was not able to return and thus what happened to him was a miracle, she did try to have other relationships. most of them failed.

( * CLARKE GRIFFIN, THE COMMANDER OF DEATH / isabel may.

⌞ ⌝ clarke griffin was born on the ark, a space station housing the last survivors of humanity after nuclear war destroyed earth. as the daughter of dr. abby griffin (chief medical officer) and jake griffin (senior engineer), she grew up privileged but not sheltered — her parents taught her medicine, science, and critical thinking. she is smart, idealistic, and fiercely loyal to those she loved. at 17, clarke discovered her father’s secret: the ark was dying, its systems failing. when she tried to warn people, she was arrested for treason. her father was executed ("floated") for the same crime, while clarke was locked in the sky box—a prison for ark’s delinquents. she spent a year in solitary before being launched to earth with the other 99 delinquents.

height: 5'6"

zodiac: capricorn

sexuality:  bisexual

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ i'm completely divergent from season 4 onwards. up until today i've never seen the show's finale and don't intend do.

⤿ i also ship both clexa and bellarke equally, so please no shipping discussion.

⤿ i tend to prefer to explore clarke in her other alternative verses rather than canon, and also to explore her when she's older. any questions about that i'm more than glad to answer.

 THE HUNGER GAMES: clarke griffin was district 1's perfect victor — trained in medicine and combat, charming the cameras while secretly dismantling the games from within. she played the elegant career tribute but won through ruthless strategy, poisoning supplies instead of fighting fair, and sparing a dying district 12 tribute on live TV just to spite the capitol. now, as a victor, she's trapped in a gilded cage, mentoring tributes by day and smuggling arena secrets by night, her quiet rebellion hidden behind a smile sharp enough to draw blood. the capitol adores her, but snow watches her like a snake in the grass, waiting for her to slip — because district 1's diamond-edged darling has never stopped being a threat.

THE LAST OF US: clarke survived the cordyceps outbreak by becoming exactly what the new world required — ruthless when necessary, compassionate when she could afford to be. now she moves between quarantine zones as a smuggler and underground medic, her surgical skills just as likely to stitch up wounds as they are to inflict them, having been taught by her mother.

( * JOHANNA MASON, THE DECEIVER / sophie tatcher.

⌞ ⌝ johanna mason grew up in district 7, a region known for its lumber industry, where she learned survival skills and resilience from a young age. her life was relatively ordinary until she was reaped for the 71st hunger games. unlike many tributes, johanna didn’t come from a place of desperation or poverty, but her strong will and competitive nature drove her to win. during the games, she played a clever strategy, pretending to be weak and vulnerable to lull her opponents into a false sense of security - and angering the capitol. once they underestimated her, she revealed her true strength and ruthlessness, emerging as the victor. after winning, johanna’s life took a dark turn. the capitol punished her for her defiance and unwillingness to play their games in the way they intended, as well for her resufal to work as a sexual worker. they killed her family and loved ones as a warning, leaving her emotionally scarred and bitter. this loss fueled her hatred for the capitol and deepened her resolve to resist their control. her sharp tongue and abrasive personality became her armor, protecting her from further pain while masking the trauma she carried.

sexuality: bisexual

height: 5'6"

zodiac sign: scorpio

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ johanna has deep PTSD and an untreated bipolar disorder. she's a blunt, unpredictable character who is full of shades of grey. i'll not shy away from that.

⤿ i write johanna having few people she trusts, inlcuding haymitch, mags and finnick, who she sees as a best friend or the closest thing to one. she is neutral to annie, but due to finnick's love for her, she'd die for the girl if needed.

⤿ she used to have a big brother, a baby sister and her parents. all were killed by the capitol. she never names them in her head.

MODERN VERSE: johanna mason is the fearless vice president of the iron pines motorcycle club, a tight-knit group based in the rugged forests of the pacific northwest. known for her sharp tongue, tactical mind, and unmatched driving skills. the club, originally formed by lumber workers and outdoorsmen, has evolved into a community of rebels and outcasts who live by their own rules. johanna joined the club after a rough childhood in a small logging town, where she learned to fend for herself and distrust authority.

⌞ ⌝ rose dewitt bukater, born into a wealthy but financially struggling philadelphia family. her mother, ruth, arranges her engagement to cal hockley, a wealthy but controlling steel tycoon, to secure their family’s status. rose feels suffocated by the engagement and the pressure to conform, longing for freedom and authenticity in a life that feels like a gilded cage. intelligent and compassionate, she struggles to reconcile her inner desires with the superficial world she’s forced to inhabit. rose’s mental state is fragile. deeply unhappy and emotionally drained, she hides her despair behind a polished exterior. the engagement to cal symbolizes her entrapment, and she feels isolated, with no one understanding her inner turmoil. though she appears composed, she is on the brink of emotional collapse, secretly yearning for an escape from the life that has been planned for her.

zodiac sign: libra

height: 5'9" (approx.)

sexuality: bisexual

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ rose is canonically depressive and i'll not stirr away from writing her having suicidal tendencies/thoughts. so, please be careful and blacklist the tag ' suicidal/ ' that i'll use to trigger warn on her posts where such content appears.

BRIDGERTON VERSE: in the glittering world of the ton, rose dewitt bukater is a striking debutante with a reputation that precedes her. born into a once-wealthy family now clinging to the edges of high society, rose is thrust into the marriage market by her mother, ruth, who is determined to secure their future through a advantageous match. her beauty, poise, and intelligence make her a sought-after prize, but rose finds the shallow pursuits of the ton suffocating.

MODERN VERSE (abigail cowen): rose dewitt bukater is a 23-year-old art history student at columbia university, balancing her studies with the pressures of her family’s expectations. born into old money, her family’s fortune has dwindled, leaving her mother, ruth, desperate to maintain their status. rose is a free spirit with a love for contemporary art, indie films, and vintage fashion. she’s bisexual, openly exploring her identity and relationships, much to her mother’s disapproval. her rebellious streak often puts her at odds with her family

height: 5'8" (173 cm)

zodiac sign: aquarius

sexuality: bisexual

PORTRAYAL NOTES:

⤿ due to jack not having a full background in the movie, i write him as an orphan. he has an older half-brother he never got along with and who never learnt of his death.

⤿ he's also bisexual, having had sexual/romantic relationships with men, even if he has a small preference for women.

BRIDGERTON VERSE: in the glittering world of bridgerton’s london, jack dawson is a penniless artist with a heart full of dreams and a spirit too wild for society’s constraints. though he lacks the wealth and status of the ton, his charm, wit, and undeniable talent for sketching make him a magnetic figure. jack often finds himself on the fringes of high society, sketching its members at balls and gatherings, though his free-spirited nature and disdain for pretension keep him from fully fitting in. his encounters with the elite are marked by his ability to see through their facades, often leaving a lasting impression on those who dare to look beyond his humble origins.
