## Profile

Avon Manor is a prestigious high school in England, though the exact location is currently unknown. Along with its brother school, Acton Manor, Avon was established over two-hundred years ago.

The school is two stories high and has a gymnasium, a large auditorium, and a courtyard. There is a trophy case in the main hall displaying the trophies won by students past and present.

## Background

Along with its brother school, Acton Manor, Avon Manor was established over two-hundred years ago. At some point before 1997, Miss Salmon was appointed headmistress.

### 1995

Shelley Carter is admitted into Avon on a hockey field hockey scholarship. She and another student, Celine Beker, are bullied by three other students -- Heidi Atherton, Lauren Chamberlin, and Nicki Johnson.

### 1997

In 1997, a student at Acton Manor was accidentally killed by the principal in a chemical accident. Miss Salmon stepped in to take control of the situation, ordering Acton's groundskeeper to dispose of the body and ordering the principal to make sure nobody found out.

### 1998

When Shelley Carter began looking into Oliver Greenwood's death, Salmon bribed Heidi Atherton with admittance to a prestigious college in the United States to "take her out of the picture". Heidi agreed, and on graduation day, she strangles Shelley with her tie in front of Lauren and Nicki. The other girls panic and they hang Shelley's body from the rafters in the auditorium during the graduation speech. Unknown to them, Celine Beker saw them kill Shelley.

### 2018

Twenty years after the death of Shelley Carter, Avon's Class of 1998 returned to the school for their twenty-year reunion, put together by Avon alum Celine Beker. Unknown to the attendants, the reunion was also a trap set by Celine and a resurrected Shelley to take vengeance on their former bullies. After killing Lauren and Nicki, Shelley and Celine went after Heidi, choking her and hanging her corpse from the auditorium rafters for the entire reunion to see. However, immediately after the crowd fled, Shelley turned on Celine, cutting her hand off and leaving her backstage.

## Condition

Avon plays host to a student body of affluent backgrounds, but has been known to awards scholarships to students from poorer backgrounds if their aptitude impresses them. Two such cases are the sisters Shelley and Lucy Carter: both came from the same lower class background, but Shelley was able to attend on a field hockey scholarship, and Lucy was presumably awarded an Avon scholarship as well.

Reputation and background are a recurring theme in Avon Manor. Both Shelley Carter and Celine Beker were bullied by their peers, but Shelley is implied to have endured worse bullying due to having a less wealthy background than a typical Avon student. Just as well, Miss Salmon, the headmistress of Avon during the 1997-1998 school year, valued the school's centuries-old reputation above all else, and was willing to do anything to ensure that both Avon and Acton Manor stayed flawless in the eyes of the populace.
