Results are in!





The dust has settled. The chaos has reigned. Songs have been sung. Ricks have been rolled. Stories have been written and most important roles have been played.

So without further ado, it is time to crown our champions:

BRONZE

Avian from Feathered Friends!

Image


Spoiler! :
Name: Autumn Fletcher
Gender/Pronouns: Female; she/her
Species: Human
Age: 8
Relationship to August Fletcher: Neice

Appearance: Autumn rocks the classic Dora the Explorer haircut, with short brown hair cut into a bob, accompanied by dramatic bangs. She has gray eyes that seem to judge your every movement, and they probably do. She’s an average height for an eight-year-old, standing at exactly four feet tall. She refused to leave the house without her bright pink leggings, but obliged to sport a long black coat along with a red scarf. She likes to finish every look with the perfect shoe, and the perfect shoe just happened to be light-up sneakers, of course.

Personality: Autumn is very blunt and honest with her words. If she has something to say, she’ll say it with no remorse. She loves the color pink and anything sparkly. She’s very smart and is always ready to prove you wrong.

Strengths: being brutally honest, major RBF, probably smarter than most adults, immaculate fashion taste.

Weaknesses: being brutally honest, thinks she’s better than everyone else, tells everyone she’s better than everyone else.

Backstory: Autumn Fletcher is the daughter of May Fletcher. When she was born, she caused quite the outrage, since May never revealed who her father was. Once she finished her first detective novel at the age of seven, she decided that she wanted to become a detective, too.

Magic User (Yes/No): No, but some people like to speculate.

Other: Autumn wanted me to tell you that she’s much smarter than you are.


SILVER

alliyah from Feathered Friends!!

Spoiler! :
Name: March Fletcher (also goes by "Mar" and "Marchy")
Gender/Pronouns: she / her
Species: human
Age: 36
Relationship to August Fletcher: older sister

Appearance: March tends to wear pastel blue, purples, and greys to contrast with her twin's favored warm-color-palette. She has sleek brown hair, cut in a bob, a thin face. She tends towards heavy evening make-up and looks identical to her sister apart from her signature shamrock earrings which she always wears.

Personality: March exudes extroverted energy from a life in the spotlight, but honestly people exhaust her and she's much happier curled up with a book in a coffee shop. She would have given up the music career by now, but her sister May is so invested in it, there's no way to stop now. She is a people-pleaser, for her parents most of all.

Strengths: March is a social chameleon and easily adapts to the setting around her. She is warm and makes people feel comfortable. She is perceptive and and thoughtful.

Weaknesses: Her sister. March is always self-conscious that people may consider her the "less-talented" or "less-pretty" or "less-likeable" twin - she is always comparing herself to May, to the extent that her self-esteem revolves around their relationship. Though she is perceptive towards others, she is not very perceptive of people's views towards her. She is also deathly allergic to maraschino cherries.

Backstory: March and May got their start on their town's talent show, and since then they've been performing local and state gigs and have made a career out of their singing ability. While March is getting into her later 30's and hoping to settle down and travel less, May is still pretty relentless with their tour schedule and March doesn't have the heart to let her down. She also doesn't want to think about who she is without music. Family is deeply important to March, but she often feels like her parents and siblings just lump her and May together. She longs to be her own person.

Magic User (Yes/No): No, but she sings a mean karaoke solo.

Other: Super allergic to maraschino cherries. For a while in middle school she went by "Marsha" to try to distance herself from her sister. It didn't work, and now her sister calls her "Marsha" when she wants to torment her.


GOLD

OrabellaAvenue from Friendly Fiends!!!

Spoiler! :
Name: Sophie Sharpe
Gender/Pronouns: She/her
Species: Human
Age: 22
Relationship to August Fletcher: Coworker

Appearance: Sophie Sharpe has medium length ash brown hair she keeps loose in waves. She has big round glasses that might remind one of a librarian, and wears a soft purple turtleneck. Her eyes are hazel, and she carries a soft brown leather purse to keep her... "tools" in.
Personality: She's the nerdiest of nerds, and knows everything about everything. Well, almost everything. She prefers to listen and observe rather than engage, so while you may think she was off in her own mind in the corner, she was actually listening to every word you said.
Strengths: She's smart and can listen well, and it doesn't take a lot for her to understand what's going on around her. Any mechanical contraption is doomed as soon as she lays eyes on it.
Weaknesses: While she make be book smart, she isn't people smart, and may not always understand feelings or take people's views into consideration.

Backstory: As an only child growing up in with parents that feed into her creativity, she always found something to tinker with, and has since created many inventions. She found ice sculpting as a teen and immediately fell in love with it. She was fascinated by the way ice worked in general and leaned more into the logical side when creating her sculptures, even loving the idea that they could melt away, unlike her cold metal constructions.

And as an only child with so much time and tools at her fingertips, she never truly learned how to interact with people, and so doesn't often understand them.

After getting rejected from every college where she would have gone into mechanical engineering, she instead went into competitive ice sculpting, where she met her rival August Fletcher.

Magic User (Yes/No): No
Other: She does pet sitting on the side, including a mysterious chicken with a name tag reading, "Cluckus Dickens"


Thank you ever so much for taking part! It was a blast reading through all the wonderful characters that were created and the stories that were spun! The temptation to continue this as an actual roleplay is high A massive congratulations to all three of you!

Congrats alliyah and Avian! (I love your characters; they're both so creative!! Autumn's sassy attitude is absolutly hilarious I freaking adore her character, and the "Other" section on her made me laugh. The idea to use March and then flesh out her character so well with the little information you had while also making it fit was incredibly well done and very creative.)

Also I'm not on team Friendly Fiends. (I was super busy the first two days and didn't have a chance to join either of them.)
If you ever want to talk, please feel free to PM me for any reason! ^^
Don't write because you're a writer; write because you have something to say.
