let me ramble about my original characters !

ELISHA (ELLIE) SMALL  /  BALLET TEACHER

she was raised to be a spy (and attended the same spy school as lolita did) but decided that it wasn’t a life she wanted for herself, so sought out a more “normal” job instead, working as a ballet teacher.  she had a turbulent childhood, was abused by her ex-assassin father (are you seeing a theme with my original characters yet???) who’d gone off the rails, and so was taken out and put into care from an early age. she was lucky enough to be taken in by aaron’s family (who we will get into later) and lived with them up until the gallagher academy (the spy school) invited her to join once she turned 13. she was quite shy and quiet before attending, but after mixing with lola became more confident and reckless   —-  sneaking out at night, attending forbidden parties etc. her and aaron have always been close, even before his family took her in, and she lives with him now. she tends to have horrific nightmares, and is generally quite an emotional person, but she’s built up a really tough, badass side, and will literally kill anyone that tries to harm her or her friends. she’s also super smart and literally never has her head out of a book. ballet was something she always loved as a kid; the focus that she channelled into it helped distract her from stuff that was going on in her life, and kept up with her training while at the academy. she didn’t try getting into any companies, mostly because she didn’t have much “official” training while at the academy (just self-teaching/practising on her own), but took a course in teaching and now teaches young students. she’s very content with her normal life, but does miss her friends, who are now all in the field.  also, fun fact, she was my first ever original character!

AARON BROWN  /  MECHANIC

he’s probably the nicest, most loyal guy you’ll ever meet. he was childhood friends with ellie, and helped persuade his parents to take her in when she was in need. he loves ellie a great deal, and would literally do anything for her.  he loves horses, and was lucky enough to have his own growing up, so spends most of his time outside, caring and riding them, or going for walks etc. he’s also a big book kind of guy like ellie, but is a lot more outgoing and goofy than her. after she decided that she wanted to live a more normal life, he decides to take an apprenticeship in mechanics, and now runs a mechanic shop near to her ballet studio. his family used to work for the government intelligence group, and so he knows about ellie’s life, and the school she went to, and can understand why she chose the life she did. he also knows and gets on with her old friends really well, even if he’s not the biggest fan of lola because he can literally see straight through her. he’s also a MASSIVE fan of musicals, and literally would’ve loved to go into some kind of musical theatre group, but he ends up just embracing that side of him in the comforts of his friends (most of whom he met through ellie), and they quite often mess around and put on really dumb shows in their homes. honestly you 10/10 have to drag him up for karaoke someday because he takes that shit seriously asf.

DROVER EDWARDS  /  FARM HAND

probably my first non-spy related original character (and funnily enough my first non-irish character??) he’s a sweet kid that grew up on a severely poor and run down ranch with his extremely sick mother and asshole of a father. he’s a hard worker, and has always looked after the place for his family since his mother is never really strong enough to keep up with the manual labour, and his dad is quite often too drunk. he never really liked school due to the fact he was bullied about his dyslexia and the fact he was super poor  (imagine the kid with clothes that are 3 sizes too small/short for him, that has holes in his shoes and never has the resources to do the cool, school projects, ‘cuz that’s him) and drops out at quite an early age. he works on farms, and if he can’t find any work there, will just pick up whatever random manual labour job he can find, whether that’s gardening, helping clear out rubble, or doing diy stuff, and he’s literally the type of guy to work all day every day. he’s very sweet, but can be a massive asshole when you first meet him, and has grown up with his horse, joey, who he loves more than anything. he’s still super close with his mum, and visits her as often as he can, taking care of her and batch cooking her meals so that she doesn’t have to struggle on her own. he’s probably the only character that isn’t directly connected to my other characters, but in some verses he knows the others through beth (my friend’s oc who pretty much ties all my characters together lmao).

DEAN GRAHAM HUNTER  /   THE CRIMINAL

dean is your stereotypical, all rounder, bad boy. he had a rough childhood and bounced around between different foster homes, always getting kicked out for breaking stuff, stealing things, or causing general issues until the blackthorne academy (a male school for assassins) find him and take him into their reign. this is the school where lola’s boyfriend came from, so he meets her through him, and subsequently the others from her circle of friends. he doesn’t really become close to any of them, mostly down to ellie being quite cold around them, but after lola heads off solo into the world they start to hang out more often. at this point he’s just an all rounder criminal, can be employed for pretty much anything. you want something stolen? you want someone beaten up? you want information from someone? he’s your guy. he quite often gets employed to seduce wives or girlfriends of business men, gang members or other men in some form of power, to find out information on them. he’s such a typical fuck boi tbh. he gets on with lola really well, from the fact they’re both so dark, and emotionally disconnected, but actually starts to get closer to ellie and aaron later on in life when both him and ellie work on something together and he actually moves in with them for a while. he’s salty, sarcastic and really charming in his weird, twisted way lmao.      //   @snakeblccded
