HARRY:

as  she  goes  into  her  little  rant  about  university  and  all  it  entails ,   he  playfully  starts  to  slowly  close  his  eyes  and  dramatically  snore.  ‘  still  sounds  boring ,   lass.  ‘cept  for  experiments.   i  almost  blew  up  a  classroom  at  serpent  prep  doin’  an  experiment.  ‘   true  story ,  though  it  wasn’t  just  him.   gil  had  been  involved  too  but  he  wasn’t  around  to  claim  any  credit.  ‘   three  degrees?   sounds  like  yer  wastin’   yer  life  away  in  a  class room.  ‘   if  that’s  what  she  wanted  then  whatever.   who  was  he  to  tell  her  how  to  live  her  life?  she  won’t  get  him  in  any  classroom  though.   

hearing  the  genuine  truth  was   a  rare  thing  in  his  life.   there’s  always  a  hidden  lie  ,   small  or  big  ,    and   hidden  intentions.    with  her  that  doesn’t  seem  the  case.   still  he  feels  as  if  he  needs  to  be  on  his  guard.   old  habits  die  hard.    she’s  right  about  one  thing  though  ,   the  education  on  the  isle  was  strict.   all  of  them  were  taught  the  basics  and  things  rarely  ever  went  beyond  that.   university  was  a  foreign  concept  until  he  stepped  on  auradon  soil.   why  should  anyone  on  the  isle   believe  they  had   a future?  university  wasn’t  necessary  over  there.   ‘   so  yer  doin’  this  outta  the  kindness  of  yer  golden  heart?   ye  want  a  gold  star  ta  go  along  with  it?   ‘m  not  a  charity  case.  ‘    he  scoffs ,   then  hesitates.   she  might  not  provide  this  opportunity  again.  shit ,   why  the  hell  not?   ‘  fine.   i’ll  let  ya  teach  me.  do  i  get  a  name  or  am  i  just  callin’  ye  teach?  ‘     

          “   YES   ,   actually,   a golden star is exactly what i’m looking for,   “   snide look was given in exchange to his distrust.   sure,   she was not from the isle.   she didn’t grow up with him,   who the   HELL   could really understand the angst that all the kids that had recently transferred had other than them,   themselves   ?   auradon or isle she had never cared,  and would never care,   if someone was   GENUINELY   interested in learning something that was in her capacity to teach   -   who the fuck was she to make fun of them,   let alone deny them.   

however,   despite these thoughts,   her expression softened as he agreed.   “   you can call me pandora.   or...   “   she paused for a second,   considering something.   “   no,   you can call me pan,   if you’d like to.   “   she offered a barely noticeable smile,   just the edge of her lip turned   UPWARD   .   and thus,   turned her attention back to the sky.   “   i assume tomorrow we’re   BOTH   going to be recovering from tonight.   but the day after we can start more official sessions   -   for   NOW   ask whatever you want to know,   and i will do my best to give you an answer from the top of my...   less than   SOBER   mind.   “

HARRY:

her  mocking  tone  doesn’t  sway  his  threat  at  all.   she  didn’t  need  to  believe  that  he  was  scary.  that  was  something  he  could  easily  prove  if  the  situation  were  to  arise  and  she  wouldn’t  see  it  coming.   that’s  what  made  him  truly  terrifying  to  most  -  his  unpredictability.   she  doesn’t  show  if  she’s  impressed  or  not  on  her  expression ,  but  he  takes  the  nod  of  her  head  as  a  compliment.   he  knew  that  he  knew  what  he  was  talking  about.  perhaps  he  didn’t  know  everything  but ,  as  she  had  said ,   there  was  too  much  to  know.   still ,   he  didn’t  know  as  much  as  he  wished  he  did.   so  many  questions  swirled  in  his  head  about  the  stars.  his  father  had  answered  a  lot  of  them  but  even  his  knowledge  was  a  little  limited.     

‘  university ,  ay?   ‘ow  do  ye  not  bore  yerself  ta  death?  ‘    university  had  been  presented  to  him as  an  option  whenever  coming  to  auradon  ,   but  he  refused.  sitting  at   a  desk  listening  to  someone  lecture?   not  at  all appealing.   especially  not  compared  to  going  out  on  adventures  with  the  rest  of  his  crew.   they  could  explore  new  lands  and  to  imagine  himself  being  stuck  in  a  stuffy  university  building  instead  of  out  at  sea  is  the  worst  of  his  nightmares.   ‘  ye will  teach me?  ‘   his  attention  turns  completely  towards  her  now ,   body  shifted  in  her  direction  as  he  narrows  his  eyes  at  her.   ‘  why  would ye  do  that?  what’s  in  it  fer  ya?  ‘   everyone  wants  something.  no  one  offers  anything  for  free.  though  her  offer  is  very  tempting… he  does  want  to  learn  more. 

        pandora’s    PARENTAGE   had gifted her a few things,   increased intelligence and    WISDOM   -   the latter was...   more in question,   though.   her chaos lead to a recklessness that likely could never be considered   WISE   .   it was no matter though,    the point was,   she loved learning and creating;   for her,   there was   NOTHING   better than taking all the knowledge there was that you could learn.   “   university isn’t just lectures,   harry.   at least not on my courses   -   you do experiments,   practicals,   and of course the    THEORY   has to be there.   i intend to do at least three degrees before i leave education.   “    she shrugs her shoulders,   she would do every degree if her life was long enough for it. 

pandora couldn’t help the small laugh that was expelled as she mirrored his actions,   her body now facing him,   too.   she was    NOT   laughing at him   -   only of being questioned of her intentions.   she made a note in her head to be careful,   unwanting to make the other feel like they were   INDEBTED   ,    nor that they were on retainer.   “   now that’s a bit of a hard question there,   PIRATE   ,   if i say nothing   -   you’re going to say that i’m a liar.   but if i dug really deep to create an answer for you.   “    she takes a pause.   ugh,   telling the truth in a candid way,   who does that anymore   ?   “   you came from the isle.   i don’t know about the education there,   to be honest.   BUT   ,   i assume you did not have freedom of choice of what was taught,   you didn’t learn what you   WANTED   to.   none of your special interests,   like the stars   ?   EVERYONE   deserves a chance to choose what they want to do.   who the fuck am i to not share my knowledge if that was my  AND   your choice   ?   i like to see people   LEARN   .   you’ll be doing me a favour.   “

AURORA:

aurora’s eyes widen when she sees her friend,    pandora always being the picture of sensibility.    the daughter of the athena is,   in aurora’s mind,    the one person who might be able to help her in her intoxicated state.    ‘    pan!    ’    aurora squeals,    reaching out to envelop her friend in a drunken,    too-tight hug.    ‘    have you seen a pirate anywhere?    he’s got a  —  hic,  he’s got a hook.    i was flirting with him,    then i went to go answer a call from my mom,    and now he’s gone.    ’    there’s a pout on the princess’ face as she moves her arms to rest on her friend’s shoulders,    always lacking in personal space when she gets like this.    FT.    @ibispeur​

        head turned towards the voice which she recognised   IMMEDIATELY   as aurora.   expression remained mostly impassive as aurora pulled her into a hug,   before peeling the other girl off,   she downed the rest of her drink.   her    NINTH   now,   she believed   ?   once pandora was able to see her face,   she offered a small smile.   “   you are referring to   HARRY   HOOK   ,   no   ?   “  she had seen him,   briefly,   unsure exactly how much time had passed since she had    -    or whether aurora had spoken to him before or after that conversation.   using her intuition it was likely   BEFORE   ,   “    is this you so politely asking me to help you find him,   aurora   ?   “

HARRY:

her  presence  wasn’t  exactly  welcome ,   but  to  ruin  such  a  peaceful  moment  with  a  fight  seemed  wasteful.   it  was  unlikely  he  would  get  a  moment  to  himself  again  like  this  any  time  soon…  he  supposes  he  could  share  it  with  one  other.   any  more  join  them  though  and  his  hook  will  go  to  someone’s  throat.   ‘   count  yer  blessin’s  lass ,  ‘cause  that  could  change  at  any  moment.  ‘    his  moods  as  unpredictable  as  his  father’s.    it  takes  effort  for  him  not  to  allow  his  body  to  become  tense  as  she  seemingly  studies  him.   his  eyes  travel  lazily  from  the  stars  towards  her ,   giving  her  his  own  once over.   then  her  words  come  and  he  knows  they  are  meant  to  agitate  him ,  and  they  sort  of  do  but  he’s  careful  not  to  show  it  anywhere  but  his  eyes.   the  emotions  in  his  eyes  were  always  more  difficult  to  hide.   

‘   i  know  enough.    that  right  there ,  ‘    finger  is  angrily  pointed  towards  a  constellation  of  stars ,   ‘   is  the  lil’ dipper  an’  that  is  the  north  star. ‘   it   looks  like  the  picture  he  had  seen  in  one  of  his  father’s  books.   a  book  he  had  religiously  studied  instead  of  studying  for  actual  tests  and  schoolwork.  looks  over  at  her  expectantly ,   waiting  for  a  look  of  surprise.    ‘  an’  what  are  ya?  some  kind’a  expert?  ‘ 

         “   oooh   -   so scary,   “   pandora couldn’t help but smirk.   the pirate could for sure try his hand,   she was   CONFIDENT   in her ability to avoid injury.   she knows she struck a nerve however,   although that was not really her   INTENT   at all,   just an off   -   handed comment.   she was blunt,   as   ALWAYS   ,    she supposed the other did not know her very well   -   or at least not well enough.   nonetheless,   she nods slightly at his identification of a few stars and navigator’s marks,   the only sign of her   IMPRESSION.   it nearly turned her crude smirk into a smile,   she could feel his interest as she stood next to him.   lazily,   she took another sip of her drink,   the one that was not so   SUBTLY   named after herself.   she paused,   eventually dragging her eyes from the sky to him,  nails tapping slowly against the wood of the balcony. 

“   you   MIGHT  say i’m half an expert,   i’m minoring in astronomy at the university   -   part of that is astrology.   even though the latter is less scientific.   “   her shoulders rise and fall for a moment,   attempting to brush of the fact she   MAY   have offended him.   “   i get the sense that you want to learn more,   PIRATE   ,   or rather,   harry hook,   right   ?   i’ll teach you whatever you want to know;   tonight and after.   everyone deserves to   LEARN   their special interests.   however   -   this is my   SIXTH   drink of the evening.   “

HARRY:

switch  is  always  turned  on  ,   except  when  he  finds  himself  under  the  auradon  night  sky.   its   beauty   outshines  the  murky  and   cloudy  sky  he  had  been  exposed  to  for  almost  twenty -  one  years  on  the  isle.    while  the  music  is  pounding  inside  of  the  lake  house  he’s  outside  on  a  balcony  soaking  in  the  crisp  night  air.   he  leans  against  the  railing  and  allows  himself  to  relax  as  his  gaze  fixates  on  the  sky  and  the  stars  that  populate  it.   until  he  feels  someone  approaching  from  behind.  the  grip  on  his  hook  tightens  but  his  look  doesn’t  move  from  the  sky.    ‘  sneakin’  up  on  a  pirate …  not  a  very  smart  move.  ‘    ft .  @ibispeur​

         she had been to this lake house more times than she   CARED   to count.   this small balcony,   she would consider it the   BEST   place,   the uninterrupted view of the   SKY   ?    it couldn’t get any better.   there were too many people downstairs for her brain,   this intended to   ESCAPE   .   only for a moment.   “   i knocked at least one thing over on my way here,   “   a gentle laugh followed her words.   she lent against the door frame,   lingering just behind him.   her eyes too turned   HEAVENSWARD   ,   it was beautiful tonight.   she could make out orion’s belt almost immediately and went from there,   MARKING   each constellation off.   “   WELL   ,    pirate,   you not having that hook at my throat suggests you do not mind my presence.   “    thus,   confidently,   she pushed herself off the framing. 

as she came to stand to his right side,   brow arched,   glancing him over.   “   you must know a lot about the stars right   ?   so   VITAL   for navigation,   no   ?   “   she was being facetious,   of course,   unless there so happened to be a book laying around on the isle,   the answer was   NO   .    not with that junk cloud flying overhead.   “   there’s so much to know though,   i wouldn’t believe you if you said you knew it all.    “

GALEN:

is he wearing his infamous penis costume simply with a santa hat strapped onto it?    yes.    did he just bump far too forcefully into his ex girlfriend,   albeit accidentally?    another yes.    galen laughs,    straightening,    before he realises just who he bumped into,    and then his smile falters a little and he tries his best to compose his intoxicated self.     ‘     woaaaah.    hey.    sorry about the — the penis bump there.    ’    oh god,    galen,   stop snickering…    FT.    @ibispeur​

         brow arched as she turned to face the disruption to her   SPACE   .   lips quirked a half smile,   his   ANTICS   had never ceased to amuse her,   despite the childishness of them.   “   it is a nice addition you have chosen for the holiday season.   “   she comments,   gesturing her hand,   currently holding a red cup towards the santa hat adorning his costume.   “   i respect that you are not   TIRED   of this costume now.   “   intonation,   other than the lilted accent,   was mostly crystal clear.   even as she finished the bitter liquid that had filled the cup;   the    ONLY   give away was the pause she took,   and reaching for a table close by to steady herself that the alcohol had   TAKEN   any effect.  “   a comedic genius,   some might describe you as.   “

about pandora.

her full name is pandora clio yaros;   her father, samuel,   clearly having a sense of humour about her   ‘   mother   ‘   being athena.   her middle name is not public knowledge.   furthermore,   she more commonly goes by pan,   than her full name.   and there are a few nicknames such as p,   or panda,   that are exclusively used at best. 

where many of athena’s children end up being all-rounders due to their aptitude to both intelligence, creating and wisdom.   from a young age,   pandora found herself far more interested in one line of education and learning;   and found everything else completely unimportant. she still excelled,   of course,   but only did the bare minimum for homework and projects in the arts and humanities.   

her special interests are any of the sciences,   engineering,  astrology and mathematics.   she also has a special affinity for team sports,   despite her preference to work alone in every other part of her life.

following on from that;   pandora is a single player in life.   she has friends,  many friends,   but none of which she would say are intimate friendships.   she is not adverse to developing close relationships,   which should be evidenced in her previous relationship with galen diggory   -    although recently broken up.   she is a hard person to stay with,   due to being incredibly driven and focused,    a relationship of such serious intent she would never half   -   ass.

pandora is currently at the university,   reading for a major in biology and a minor in astrology.   she intends to complete two more degrees after this,   majoring in chemistry and engineering.

pandora has a very domineering personality,   a mild superiority complex.   pandora has a car and a motorbike.   the latter which she built herself,   she started the project around two years ago.

PANDORA YAROS is the daughter of Athena. She easily falls under many potential character archetypes, including and not limited to “the genius” or “the inventor”. She does not like Athena, thinking that her mother acts out of emotion over the intelligence and wisdom she is supposedly hailed for. However, Pandora is very work hard, play hard, always finding time to balance her studies with enjoying her time to the utmost. She is currently majoring in biology and studying astrology as a minor at Auradon University. Pandora does not like her siblings, nor does she like her mother. She prefers to be independently associated, only calling on them if there is no other option.
