Name Charlie Sky Winchester Age 21 Portrait Brief Description Charlie, or Sky as she will tell you thats her name, isnt as much of an introvert as one might think. In fact, shes pretty outgoing. Outspoken, shes not rude, unless the situation dictates it. She intelligent, but her choices in life have led her to this place. Perhaps had things happened differently..She doesnt dwell on that too much, again or so she will say. Demons always lurk. Shes tough though. Having defeated them once before, she could do it again. Dont let her appearance deceive you. While she may look as though she was forgotten, shes not one to be placed in the past. Everything about her has a story, a purpose. Can you get close enough to learn what they are? OnsOffs F-List Occupation Street performer Known Background 74. Thats her address. Well, thats all thats left from the peeling paint on the curb next to the alley where she sleeps. For a while now shes looked up at the apartment building wishing that someday she could live within its walls. The closest she has come has been being invited in to use the bathroom by the doorman. Joe, or so she calls him, is one of the few people she actually speaks with. Its not that shes quiet, quite the opposite actually. Its just that people come and go. Some are seen on a daily basis in the hustle and bustle. She likes to imagine them and what theyre rushing off to do. Some are going to work. Some are going to meet a lover. Some are off to start their day. Some are going to their family. It passes the time and keeps a smile on her face. Her demons are always there, but she wont let them back in. Interview after interview she is turned down for jobs. Thats okay. With a smile on her face, she lifts her violin and plays. The past, the pain shes endured, are memories that she lives with, but she will never let you see them. No one in the Plaza knows her past. Care to learn? Name Lucy Martin Age 24 Portrait Brief Description Lucy is as normal as normal can be. To say she's a mommy's and daddy's girl is an understatement. A hard worker, she comes from a good family. She is the only child to her parents. Her choices in life may not have always been the best. While she could have gone to college and gotten a better paying job, it was more important to live and be happy. So with the help of her parents, she moved into the Plaza some time ago. Now she works two jobs to make ends meet. OnsOffs F-List Occupation Barista at The Split Bean Inside the Plaza and a waitress at A Little Slice Pizzeria Down the street from the Plaza Known Background 474. Thats her address. Lucy was born to Elizabeth. Elizabeth was married to David at the time. After she was born, her mother left him. He was abusive, but her mother never allowed that to reach her. She was raised with the help of her aunt Marissa. Lucy was just a toddler when her mom met Oliver. At first, they didnt get along, but in time that all changed. The two fell in love, and Lucy was raised with more love than most people can imagine. When she told her parents she didnt want to go to college of course she was met with opposition, but Lucy can be persuasive. Once she set out, she met a biker and spent some time with him. Again her family wasnt happy about her choices, but they let her live her own life. After their time was over, she ended up at the Plaza. Lucy needed help attaining an apartment, and her parents were more than willing to help her with one catch. She was to say in one of the low rent units. Lucy had been allowed to make her choices, and this was there was of letting her live with her own choices. She agreed, understanding their decision. Lucy took a job right away at The Split Bean, located on the ground floor. Every morning she wakes up early and heads in to flood the building with the smell of fresh coffee and croissants. After her shift ends there, she heads down the street to the local pizza shop, A Little Slice. Sure other jobs would pay more, but Lucy wasnt about to sacrifice her own principles. She could take off her clothes or worse, but she was going to work hard for what she got. That was a lesson her parents were glad she learned.
