I should probably pay more attention to the weather. Pretty thankful right now that I’d planned on spending the night at my boyfriend’s apartment; otherwise, I’d be snowed into the trailer right about now. I think I have a few ideas on how to fight the cold so excuse me while I go make sure the sexiest mechanic in town is toe-curlingly warm. 

[northsidefabray]

Due to the winter storm, Town Hall will be closed today, December 17th. The plan is to open again tomorrow but stay tuned for weather updates. In the mean time, I hope everyone has somewhere as warm and wonderful as I do to wait out this wintry weather. Be safe if you have to venture out today. Now I think i’ll make some breakfast and then climb back into this bed with my men.

Sarah was 4 years old when her mom told her to pack her things and come with her to Chicago. When she asked about her brother, who was 7 at the time, her mom just told her that he was choosing to stay with their dad. And she believed her. 

She enjoyed growing up in Chicago, it was fun and she loved trips downtown and seeing all of the people and things to do. She went with her friends from cheerleading every weekend.

Sarah went to college and majored in education, but in order to help pay for it on top of paying rent, she needed another job on top of her waitressing. Luckily, she had a friend with a connection in the porn business. Sarah took the name Katie Loves, and she did porn all through school before having a quiet retirement. As far as she knows, only close friends know she did porn, but she has worried that someone will put two and two together and realize who she was.

It was only recently that Sarah found out about her mother’s lie. They were at her friend’s Christmas party and her mom was retelling the story to her friend, and Sarah overheard the truth. That Noah didn’t choose to stay behind, their mom just was sure he would end up like her father. After confronting her the next day, Sarah felt like she had to go to her hometown and see the brother she has had no contact with since she was 4 years old. 

She got some things together, not everything since she was planning on returning to Chicago at some point, and after getting a cheap apartment on the Southside of town, she took the next flight to Riverdale. Determined to reconnect and see her older brother.

BIOGRAPHY BULLETS 

Was originally born on the Southside. But Bree never felt like she was able to fit in. She always longed for more and to become more. Her grandma even made her promise to be more that was her family was. That is what motivated her to get into the Northside High School. To get a chance to get a better education and open herself up to more opportunities. 

She became your typically bitchy cheerleader to fit in with the rest. And it worked for awhile. Until her senior year rolled around. Her fellow cheerleaders wanted to pull a prank on the school but it went very wrong. At the end of the day they put the blame on the outsider, Bree. This resulted her in getting expelled and made her lose her scholarship. Her one key to be able to get out of Riverdale. 

After that she went back to Southside High to finish her senior year and went to the community college to study photography. She worked hard to be able to go to school. Even if it was for two years it is something she is proud of. 

Bree still holds a grudge on the North Siders. While she can’t change the past she is bitter that they are getting everything they want and have multiple chances at their finger tips. But her whole future was screwed over because of a prank. 

Finally she is trying to make a life for herself away from the mistakes she made. She works as a burlesque dancer at Afortunado where she can take part in dancing, one of her hobbies. And on the side she works on her own art and photography. Another perk of her job is it gives her an easy spot to manipulate the same North Siders that threw her under the bus years ago. 

While she use to be against joining a gang part of her has been considering joining one. She has a foot in both but she won’t make the choice easily. But now she is starting to long for that connection with people. A bond that everyone speaks so highly of. But at the same time she is realizing how many perks there are to being neutral.

09. BRIEF BIOGRAPHY

triggers: mention of presumed KIA military status, drive-by gun violence, torture, murder, death

Growing up, life for Sebine Laurent had been anything but normal. Her parents had died at a young age, leaving her growing up as an orphan on the South Side. Early in her teen years, she fell in love with a young South Sider named Edward Anderson - the youngest son of the Serpents leader. The two were together for years, but despite this relationship when the Smythes came looking for a wife for their youngest son, Sebine ended things with Edward per her new in-laws demands; they shoved a hefty prenup in her direction demanding she not bring any scandal to the family name via her relationship with the South Side boy she had been involved with for so long, and she had begrudgingly accepted it in search of a better life.

Years passed without any contact between Edward and Sebine. She gave birth to two beautiful twins, Sebastian and Sebrina, and her life seemed perfect; her marriage was far from perfect, but she loved her family regardless. A chance encounter brought Edward and Sebine back into each other's lives, and the spark quickly reignited between the two of them. The Smythes knew what was going on between their daughter-in-law and her old flame, but they let it go. They had their picture-perfect family and their beautiful grandchildren. As far as everyone else was concerned, the Alexander and Sebine Smythe had the perfect family. Problems quickly arose, though, when Sebine fell pregnant, and it was clear that Alexander wasn't the father this time.

The family threatened to leave her completely desolate if she didn't end things with the Serpent once and for all, including giving the baby to the Sisters of Quiet Mercy once Sebine had given birth. They thought they had everything under control until Edward refused to be pushed out of Sebine's life for a second time. He had secret, grand plans to sweep Sebine away from her life in the North Side so they could run away to be together, but her in-laws intercepted. They gave Edward a counter-offer that was almost too hard to refuse. Sebine would never leave with him, but he could still have a piece of her; they offered to give him a substantial amount of money to get out of the gang-life that was expected of him in the South Side as well as to leave Riverdale with the baby and never return.

After trying and failing to convince Sebine to leave with him, Edward refused the Smythe’s offer at first, though instead of leaving town like they had asked, he simply took Cassie and left the North side. He returned to the familiarity of the South Side with his daughter, but instead of pledging his loyalty to the Serpents like he was expected to - like his older brother, Bruce, had done - he joined the Ghoulies alongside his best friend, Luca Gilbert. His brother was furious at this perceived betrayal, especially since Bruce had taken over the Serpents in the wake of their father’s passing in the years before. Knowing how angry Bruce was, Edward and Luca prepared for some sort of retaliation, but after weeks of quiet on the Serpents end it seemed as if it wasn’t going to come. In retrospect, Edward should have known better.

Time passed and a relative peace between the Serpents and the Ghoulies settled in. Weeks turned into months. Months into years. It was just long enough that Edward and Luca began to let their guard down, and that was all the chance that Bruce needed. He knew attacking Edward wouldn’t work - while Bruce was brutal and merciless, his brother was worse, and he knew Bruce’s few weaknesses. Hurting Edward himself wouldn’t work, and even he wouldn’t have touched his newborn niece, though he’d never admit that particular fact to anyone. Instead, Bruce turned his rage towards Luca and Derek Gilbert; Luca was Edward’s best friend, and he’d come to see Derek as a son himself. Hurting Edward by killing his family was the best kind of revenge Bruce could have come up with; he knew it would break his baby brother.

Two years of relative quiet between the gangs on the Southside passed, and then suddenly Luca and Derek went missing. Edward had searched for his family for a few days until he got the word from fellow Ghoulies that they’d found Luca’s body beside the river that runs through Fox Forest. He’d been beaten and clearly tortured to death, but they’d been unable to find Derek; from what they could tell, though, it seemed as if he had suffered the same fate as his father. From what he’d seen of the scene himself, Edward suspected that Bruce had dumped Derek’s body in the river as a means of torturing him even further. There would be no closure without the body, and Bruce knew Edward enough to know how much that would bother him.

Losing both Luca and Derek did exactly what Bruce thought it would have done: it broke Edward. When Bruce threatened to kill Cassie if Edward didn’t leave Riverdale behind him, Edward had no choice but to take his daughter and run. He didn’t stick around long enough to learn that police found Derek wandering through the woods alone days later. Instead, he went back to the Smythes. While they wouldn’t give him as much as they had initially offered, they still gave him a hefty amount of money when he threatened to make his affair with Sebine public knowledge. Taking the hush money that they gave him, Edward changed his last name and left the small town in his rear-view mirror with his daughter in tow. Moving them all the way across the country, Edward set out to put his past in the past and start over.

Cassie spent most of her early life in Port Townsend, Washington, a small maritime town located just north of Seattle, with absolutely no recollection of her early life in Riverdale. Edward wanted to get as far away from Riverdale as possible, and a small town located literally on the other side of the country seemed like the best option to him.

Six months after moving to Port Townsend, Edward met a woman named Athena working as an emergency room resident in the local hospital. He’d been working various protection details for important people around the city and had been stabbed while protecting someone. What started as innocent flirtation between Athena and Edward quickly blossomed into something more. She looked beyond the damaged and rough exterior to the broken man inside, and it was Athena who helped him begin to heal. She knew who he was and what kind of man he had been raised to be, and she loved him anyway. She treated and raised Cassie as her own, and she is the only mother that Cassie has ever known.

Shortly after Cassie’s ninth birthday, Athena took a job at a medical center in the South Side of Chicago, and before she knew it, Cassie’s life was being uprooted and moved back east. Edward took various jobs in an attempt to keep up the semi normal life he’d been living in Port Townsend, but eventually he fell back into the only life he’d ever known, working as an enforcer for a local mob group in the city. It was the only real talent he had, and while Athena didn’t necessarily approve of it she stood by the man’s side regardless as he fell back into the familiar role. As she grew older, Cassie began following in her father’s footsteps, though Edward’s way of life was the last thing either parent wanted for Cassie. With time, though, they came to realize that there was no stopping the young woman. Much like both of her parents, once she set her mind to something there was no way she was going to budge.

Shortly after graduating from high school, Cassie literally ran into the man of her dreams. Anthony had stopped by a local diner for lunch; the same diner that Cassie was working part-time in. She had been in a hurry and not fully paying attention and slammed right into the taller man as he went to take a seat at one of the booths; luckily, his reflexes were amazing, and strong arms caught her before she could stumble backwards. He was only home on leave for a few weeks, but it only took a few short weeks for Cassie to fall head over heels in love with the Marine. Their relationship took off faster than most, but even to those around them it was as if they’d been together for years.

Cassie and Anthony were together for six months before he asked her to marry him. Her parents weren’t exactly thrilled at just how quickly the two had gotten to that point - it was one thing to approve of it, quite another to be okay with your daughter getting engaged after such a short time - but they didn’t object to it. Both Edward and Athena agreed that Anthony and Cassie were good for each other; the fact that he was going to be serving an entire deployment before they actually got married also helped Edward accept their engagement a little easier.

Tragedy struck their small family, though, when a notification party showed up on Cassie’s doorstep one morning to inform her that Anthony had officially been declared as Missing in Action, and Cassie and her family were listed as his only next of kin. Given the fact that he was a member of a Delta Force team, there wasn’t a lot that they could tell her about his disappearance, but they were certain that he had been gone missing during one of their missions. He had been presumed dead, but they hadn’t found a body so they couldn’t officially declare him Killed in Action yet. Cassie was torn apart at this news, but Edward and Athena were there to help her pick up the pieces. Even still, she hasn’t dated anyone since; there’s a part of her that hopes Anthony will show up on her doorstep one day.

Despite helping her father whenever she could, Cassie still had her own life as well. She had her own passions and interests outside of following in her father’s footsteps. Cassie had always been a curious nature, and after spending years of helping people on the South Side (of Chicago) with their own problems she decided to make a career out of it. Cassie enrolled in a local college to study criminal justice, though she dropped out just a few credits shy of graduating when another tragedy struck her family once more.

Throughout his years as an enforcer, Edward had made more than a few enemies. He never worried about it until the day that one of those enemies came after his family. Athena had been waiting outside of a local, family-owned restaurant for Edward and Cassie to meet her there for a family night out - a tradition they had started when she began college - when she was shot multiple times in a drive-by shooting; Edward and Cassie had arrived moments later, and Cassie’s world began to come crashing down around her. Athena bled out in Edward’s arms while Cassie watched horrified from the sidelines.

In the months that followed, Cassie’s life was turned upside down. Not only had she lost the only mother she’d ever known, but she uncovered a truth she’d never thought possible. Edward had never hidden the fact that Athena wasn’t Cassie’s biological mother, but he had always told her that the woman who’d given birth to her had died in childbirth. Cassie had always believed him - she’d never had reason to doubt him - until the day she stumbled across letters between Sebine and Edward. She hadn’t thought anything of them at first, many of them were from when they were teenagers and before she was born, but then - as she continued to read - she realized that they continued for nearly a year after she was born. Letters in which Edward spoke about how he still loved her, but he understood her decision to stay with the Smythes, and he would continue to send her photos of Cassie as she grew. Not only had Edward lied about her mother’s death, but he’d kept an entire family from her for years.

In her anger, and after doing months worth of research on her mother and the woman’s family, Cassie left Chicago without a word to her father. She wasn’t sure exactly what she was looking for in Riverdale or from Sebine, but she knew she had to see the woman in person.

10. HEADCANONS

Cassie absolutely loves to dance. She stopped dancing for a while, but now that she’s in Riverdale she’s started going to Jackie’s dance studio more often.

08. PAST & FUTURE

Deepest, Darkest Secret: When he was eleven he was molested by his babysitter and has a harder time opening up and trusting girls as a result.

Dream Vacation: He really wants to go to Los Angeles

Best thing that has ever happened to this character: Finding out that he has dyslexia, while he isn’t huge on it, it at least helped explain why he was always having trouble in school

What do they want to be when they grow up? He really doesn’t know. He likes a lot of different things but has a hard time sticking to one to pursue

Perfect Date: Going on a walk around town and eating dinner, he really doesn’t need too much.

09. HEADCANONS

Ryder always had trouble in school, he’d study for hours on end and still end up with B’s as his absolute highest, it was only after confiding in a friend in third grade that he had trouble reading and that friend told a teacher did he see a specialist and find out he has dyslexia. Which was a fact he didn’t disclose to many for a while until he got more comfortable with it. Though it still is a challenge for him sometimes and he doesn’t like to talk about it often.

Another challenge for Ryder is trusting people. Girls specifically. When he was eleven years old, his parents were out of town and he had a babysitter who walked in on him in the shower. After she went home and his parents came back, he never told anyone about it, but he does think it did something to him and caused his trust issues.

He got his Serpent tattoo and was officially a Serpent when he was 16, and he’s enjoyed it for the most part. They aren’t as crazy as the Ghoulies or anything and he’s very loyal to them. If anyone was to learn something about him, it’s likely to be one of his fellow snakes before anyone else.

Ryder went to high school on the Northside, it had better programs for dyslexic kids than on the Southside and his parents wanted him to get through school the best he can, and it went really well. He joined Glee, made some friends, almost thought he was going to get into college, but the last part didn’t happen. His grades were better since he was getting help with his dyslexia, but not good enough to get into any colleges.

[rileshuds]

HOLY SHIT IS THAT [ CRYSTAL REED ]?! Oh, wait it’s just [ RILEY HUDSON ]. Damn, [ SHE/HER ] looks good for [ 25 ], good thing that they’re [ PANSEXUAL/PANROMANTIC ], I might have a chance. I hear that they call them the [ WIDOW/NURSE/MOM ] of the [ SOUTHSIDE ]. I guess that’s because they’re [ LIONHEARTED ] and [ EMPATHETIC ]. But I don’t think a lot of people know that they’re also [ GUARDED ] and [ FLIGHT RISK ]. Can’t wait to see what kind of trouble [ M/25+/PST/NONE ] will bring.

[[ BIO BELOW // TRIGGER WARNING DEATH ]]

Growing up the middle class of the Northside gave Riley more of an advantage than most were lucky to have and she realized that from a young age. However, she still had a dad who worked a blue collared job, running a construction company, which meant she didn't exactly fit in with the rich and elite of the Northside. It didn't get much easier after her dad died after being called back to active duty and her mom, Carol, was forced to take over the family business -- though she never changed the name, keeping Hudson & Son Construction the same as she could for when Finn took over.

But being an outsider on the Northsider didn't keep Riley from trying. Being the social butterfly, though admittedly awkward due to her tall frame and geeky ways, Riley tried to join in as much possible. From Girl Scouts to girls basketball and even trying out for the River Vixens once, which was a complete disaster, to be honest as Riley found out she was not that coordinate. However, she did find that she did have a certain talent for archery but that wasn't exactly a career to build on.

After leaving Riverdale for college, Riley found herself in Los Angeles, at UCLA, where tuition was steep and the cost of living was even steeper. To get by and pay for nursing school, she often worked at a gentleman's club that also ran a service that specialized in something called The Girlfriend Experience, where men or women could pay for companionship for a few days or weeks at a time.

It was a nice way to make a living and she considered continuing but after graduation while out with some friends, Riley met a man named Sam. He was an officer with the LAPD and truth be told, she fell completely in love with him at first sight. They were like geek soulmates in a way and they clicked in a way she didn't except. A few drinks, a lively debate about DC vs Marvel comics, as well as a couple mechanical bull ride, later they left the bar together and that was the beginning of their love story.

Riley quit the side hustle and started her new job as an E.R nurse, within six months she was living with Sam and within the year they were married. It was bliss -- a happy and perfect life -- only made it better was the moment she told him she was pregnant, which was only outdone by the second she brought Samantha Alexandra into the world.

And for two years they were a house filled with love and happiness. Riley thought every day of her life would just keep getting better.

Little did she expect the phone call that would come at one in the morning. She had always known her husband's job was dangerous and she knew there were chances he could get hurt. But she never thought she'd get a call from the hospital she worked at, from a friend who has taken her shift so that Riley could stay home with her sick daughter, informing her that her husband had been shot. It was supposed to be a routine traffic stop. A white male suspect who failed to use his turn signal and Riley’s husband happened to be the unlucky officer who pulled him over. According to the official report, her husband was shot twice in the chest and bled out as the suspect fled the scene. He was later apprehended with the body of his dead ex-girlfriend in the trunk.

The ground under her felt like it had collapsed and it felt like her entire world had ended. Everything after that was a haze and blur going to the hospital, seeing the love of her life no longer the vibrant and full of sunshine telling her that Captain America was the greatest superhero of all time, a funeral with dozens of people she didn't even see grieving and giving their condolences and then her mom and brother trying to coax her out of bed. Eventually succeeding and dragging her back to Riverdale.

It's been a year since Riley lost her husband and she has managed to pick up the pieces, getting back to work at Riverdale General as well as the free clinic and now raising a three-year-old. She moved out of her mom's house, finding a decent small two-bedroom on the Southside to rent while trying to put her life back together.

09. HEADCANONS

He was a vegan before becoming a parent and now he’s a pescatarian because it’s hard to have a kid on a diet like that and it’s hard to cook separate meals.

When Sophia was first born, his wife started acting weird. He thought it was postpartum depression and let it slide. About three months in she walked out the door for work and never came back. A week later he was served with divorce papers and full custody of Sophia, she completely gave up parental rights. She has not had any contact since, minus a monthly child support cheque.

He moved to Riverdale as soon as he could after his wife left, it took awhile to get out of Seattle but he knew he didn’t want to stay in the house he had once shared with his wife.

Ryan was in an explosion about 6 years ago that nearly killed him and actually caused him to lose about 50% of his hearing. Luckily hearing aids help him through his day to day but he did learn ASL just in case any loss got worse and he went completely Deaf.
