my wayhaven detectives 🔍🖤

🥺👉🏼👈🏼 i’ve been wanting to post them for a while, but i always put it off (mostly since i tweak them constantly, i’ve redone all of these portraits at least once since i first drafted this). but it’s a foggy november morning here and it put me in the mood. here are my actual children, i’m putting info about them under the cut for anyone like me who loves reading about other ppl’s mcs 😊

Elliott Moran [F] 

Elliott was a solitary child even before his mother’s long absences, preferring to dig through nonfiction books or examine whatever plants and bugs he could find in the forests of Wayhaven. Though never popular in school, he was always the top of his class. The noise and bustle of college in the city overwhelmed him, so he returned to the small town of his youth postgrad to pursue a forensic career. The position of “detective” is more public-facing than Elliot ever intended, but he accepted the promotion in the hopes of being assigned more complex cases.

As someone unused to working with a team, Elliot didn’t start his relationship with Unit Bravo on the best note. Over time, though, he’s learned to appreciate their abilities (and maybe even their company). He’s grateful that Adam, at least, understands his commitment to his work and professionalism. Felix’s bright personality and jokes grated on Elliott’s nerves at first, but the vampire slowly became his favorite person to be around. Now, he can’t imagine life without Felix’s joy and gentleness. Elliott is terrified of losing his boyfriend, because he doesn’t know how he would survive going back to his lonely existence.

Waverly Green [A] 

Waverly spent much of her youth rebelling in bids for attention from her absentee mother. Whatever her initial motivations, she maintains an innate propensity for chaos as an adult. Impulsive, sarcastic, and stubborn, Waverly isn’t always the easiest teammate, though she can turn on the charm when she wants to. (Nine times out of ten. Adam seems immune so far.) She’s always been drawn towards the catharsis of combat. Exercising is one of the only times her mind goes truly blank. She’s also fairly well versed in technology and naturally handy. Her open pessimism and incisive quips sparked a somewhat unlikely friendship with Morgan.

Past her bravado lies a deeply insecure and wounded girl who feels like a chronic failure, never good enough for the people around her. (This whole situation with Adam may be touching a nerve.)

Araminta (Minty) Udo [N]

Naturally charming and charismatic, Araminta’s easygoing nature and popularity made her a good choice to be detective. The people of Wayhaven trust her wholeheartedly-- or at least they did before all these supernatural occurrences began cropping up. Still, her optimism and quiet self-assuredness puts the people around her at ease. She maintains a (seemingly) great relationship with her mother, has fallen head-over-heels for Nate, and gets along particularly well with Farah.

Minty seems so well-adjusted it can be hard for people to remember she needs to be taken care of as well. Her forgiveness and patience seem inexhaustible but take a toll that sometimes makes her want to scream. Luckily, she now has Nate to worry about her feelings. 

Alice Atwell [M] 

Incredibly intelligent and deeply logical, Alice is often the voice of reason. She prides herself on her ability to keep calm in a crisis, and her levelheadedness serves her well. Being a detective seemed like the best way to put her sharp mind to good use in Wayhaven, and her sincerity has made her a trusted figure in the community. Her knowledgeability, easygoing nature, and interest in history contributed to a fast friendship with Nate. Mason, meanwhile, is attracted to her goodheartedness against his will (and knowledge).

Underneath Alice’s patient exterior lies a deep need to prove herself and receive love. She seems to have a good relationship with her mother, but Rebecca’s long absences have left her with deep-rooted fear that she’s unlovable that she tries hard to keep buried. (Good thing she’s falling for Mason, he’ll provide her with plenty of reassurance. /s. At least she’s an optimist.)

*finishes wayhaven book 3* *opens my save where alice and mason live in peace in a cottage where mason can take solace in nature and quiet and alice can take care of animals and read*

reality: ♪

[wildlocks]

alice brought mason to one of her favorite places in wayhaven after hours so he wouldn’t be overwhelmed. during her brief times at home, alice’s mom would bring her to the record store to choose a new album. she would play it over and over once her mom left again, until she returned and alice could show her all her favorite songs. it was a tradition that made alice feel special, and music still makes her feel closer to her mom when they’re apart. she hoped mason would indulge her and choose an album (but left out the backstory for fear of pressuring him). she was pleasantly surprised when he begrudgingly handed her a compilation of jazzy oldies that included several of her favorites.

i was trying to just write a little caption for context but it became so hard not to write a full-on oneshot lmfao. i might start posting some things on ao3 though, i have a google doc of IF ficlets & i know firsthand the struggle of finding content for some rarer ones lmfao. i also have a lot of wayhaven content tucked away/in the works but i’ve been torn if i should save it for the release of book 3 or wait until i can weave together a little series or just post as i make them? anyway
