Addison

Addison Horowitz is a minor supporting character in North Park and a 4th grade student at North Park Elementary. She is a member of Lydia's gang.

## Background

Addison was once considered popular and well liked back in 1st and 2nd grade. She had many friends and many boys had developed crushes on her. But by the end of 2nd grade, she had peaked in regard to her popularity. The other girls in her level started to become more popular and well liked, while Addison herself was considered more and more boring and plain in comparison. Addison developed bitterness and clinginess that only pushed her further away from meaningful relationships, making her now considered one of the unpopular girls. She then gravitated towards Lydia's gang as a source of lashing out against the rest of the school, and getting praise and encouragement from Lydia and her fellow gang members.

## Appearance

Addison has distinctive curly shoulder length brown hair, and is often depicted wearing a brownish-pink hat and coat with a light purple scarf and gloves.

## Personality

Addison is incredibly bitter and resentful at other girls who are considered more popular and well liked than her. She takes pleasure from being cruel and spiteful towards them and seeing them fail, although it doesn't bring her happiness. She will often suck up to Lydia in order to get her approval, a consequence of her clinginess she developed after losing all the attention she used to get. She complains the most out of the gang members, much to the rest of their annoyance. She will often take any compliments or positive comments going towards anyone else as personal insults against herself. She likes to put on a mocking persona, one that laughs and looks down on others but deep down she is incredibly miserable and just wants her old life back. Despite her incredible loyalty, she is potentially one of the weaker links in the gang, if you knew how to exploit her feelings and play into her low self esteem she could be very easy to manipulate.

## Family

Addison's parents are fairly normal and well adjusted. Addison's only real interactions with them will be her complaining about her lack of popularity and her hatred of the other girls in school, or her taking her anger out on them for "not listening to her" and storming off to her room to be alone so she can listen to her music, drink unsweetened tea, and write self insert fanfiction and stories. Her parents are often sad with how angry and miserable she seems to be, noticing that she has never really ever seemed happy since the end of second grade, and wish they could just have their sweet happy girl back again. But they have no idea how to do so, and any attempt to communicate with her, or try to get her to do therapy ends in Addison getting angry at them and pushing them away.

## Relationships

#### Lydia

Addison looks up to Lydia as a big sister type, despite them being around the same age. Addison wishes she had Lydia's confidence and social pull and push, often attempting to suck up and appeal to Lydia to get her approval and gratification, as it is the closest thing she can get to the old praise she used to get. Lydia often finds her complaining to be annoying, but at the end of the day will look out for her, and if anyone did try to pick on Addison, or break her heart, Lydia and her gang would be there to break their legs.

#### Penny

Addison doesn't have a particularly high opinion of Penny, seeing her as mostly a tool in order to gross out and intimidate others. But she does and would stick up for Penny if it came down to it, since they are a gang. However if it wasn't for Lydia bringing them together, Addison doesn't see herself having any reason to spend time around Penny.

#### Savannah

Addison sees Savannah as the "little sister" of the group despite them being mostly the same age. Savannah's immaturity is seen as a source of amusement for Addison, who admires her confidence and ability to meet any hurdle in life with a curse and middle finger.

#### Posie

Posie being the new "popular girl" makes her the target of a lot of her bitterness. She will often insult her, especially around Lydia who she knows also hates Posie. Posie herself doesn't care much for Addison at all, making their rivalry an unequal one, unlike Posie's rivalry with Lydia. Posie will often say or do things that greatly insults Addison without even knowing it.

#### Cindy

Addison has a lot of spite towards Cindy, who she sees as more competition. Cindy came out of nowhere and is already very well liked, considered "cute" and "sweet", two things Addison wishes she was seen as. She is very hesitant to confront her without the rest of the gang as backup, as she is terrified of Cindy's bear strength, as well as Mute and Bobland being there to protect Cindy.

## Powers and abilities

Addison possesses no superhuman abilities, and is generally considered plain and ordinary much to her misery. She is the physically weakest member of the gang, but makes up for it in loyalty and bitchiness. She likes to collect stamps, make tea and write fiction. Her favorite animals are birds, and has many books, posters and documentaries she watches about them, and in her spare time would go bird watching. However in more recent years she has lost enthusiasm for that activity, a consequence of her bitterness and low self esteem, so mostly just spends time in her room sulking when she isn't out with Lydia and the others. Addison is also one of the few girls in North Park Elementary with naturally curly hair.
