So please tell me if I've done this whole thing wrong, but it's basically for some of the staff of Barfield High School and I've thought of personalities for them (of course anyone can make BHS staff if they want and like I'm completely not in control of that whatsoever or am I), but these are just characters who have special roles in connection with my characters.
Pamela Reynolm
Characters Involved: Andrew Venice and Karen Myers
'Connection Type: 'Colleague
Gender: Female
Age: 40-55
Occupation:Â Cooking teacher's assistant
FC Suggestions: Lesley Sharp
Brief History:
Pamela was born and grew up in a tiny town in Southern Australia, which was mostly populated by a bit of an alternative crowd. She was brought up with some strange traditions and eating habits. She was sent to a private school which promoted lots of natural/play/not much learning. Schools like this were quite hard to find back then.
Pamela moved to America when she was eighteen and she went a little bit off the rails. She lost all contact with her family back in Australia, she started smoking, doing drugs, she got a few tattoos and piercings. It wasn't until she was twenty-nine that she brought herself back to a reasonable lifestyle and did lots of study. She wanted to be a teacher but her qualifications weren't quite good enough. She started getting into cooking and went to be the cooking teacher's assistant at a local high school. She taught there for a long time but moved to Barfield High School after a new cooking teacher was appointed who she hated working with.Â
Due to her reckless lifestyle in her younger years, Pamela has a few health problems which she keeps under check. She actually does much more work than the cooking teacher herself and a lot of the kids like her better. She often tries to override the teacher's decisions with her own-she still has strong opinions about how food should be and she is vegan and barely eats anything with any fat in it.
Personality Traits:
Pamela is quite opinionated and she is strong with her own views, not eating animal products, for example. She is very passionate as well.
Pamela doesn't like commiting to anything, which is one of the reasons she isn't in a relationship. She is also easily irritated, especially when children don't understand her.
When in a big group of people, she will tend to stand back at the beginning, but if someone initiates a conversation with her, she will talk easily and passionately for a long time if she can-once she gets started, she finds it hard to stop. Some of her students and colleagues find her weird and creepy.
Additional Information:
She is based just a little bit on a few people I know I think the suggested f.c. would be perfect, but if you find someone else who you prefer, that should be fine just run it by me first bc I'm a control freak
Martin Theodore
Characters Involved: Same as Pamela
Connection Type:Â Colleague
Gender: Male
Age: 30-38
Occupation:Â 8th Grade co-ordinator, English and History teacher
FC Suggestions:Â Nate Reuss, Danny O'Donoghue. People with darker complexions would be great too. Idk I'm really stuck
Brief History:
Martin was born in Vancouver, Canada and he grew up there. Not long after he began primary school, he was selected for a regional hockey team. He excelled in hockey and left his education behind a little bit. His parents were reluctant at first to let him do this, but they later saw the great affects it was having on their child. Eventually he was selected for national level and his team were quite successful. When he was around fourteen, he suddenly lost his interest in hockey and craved a high school life like that of a normal child his age.
He went back to school and it surprisingly didn't take him very long to pick up skills in academic subjects and he was obviously good at sport.Â
With great graduation test scores from High School, Martin set out to America because he had found a spot in a good college that his uncle taught at. He graduated with flying colours, then went to university and became qualified to become a teacher. A part of him was always slacking off but in the end he always made up for it in enthusiasm.
Martin was hired at BHS only two years ago and he already has quite an identity. He insists that students call him 'Mr Theo' instead of 'Mr Theodore' because he doesn't really like his surname.
He has been in a few relationships but he isn't married.
Personality Traits:Â
Martin likes to joke around. He contradicts himself a lot; he likes to enforce rules by doing things that are against the rules; for example; when kids leave their lockers unlocked he steals their stuff to teach them a lesson. Martin is probably intimidating to some children who are scared of being told off by him, but to some other children and most of his friends and colleagues, he is just an entertaining person. He likes to nickname kids and sometimes he gives out lollies randomly.
Additional Information: You are extremely welcome to find a better fc. If you want to rp love interests and stuff like that with him that is great. He doesn't necesarilly have to currently be in a relationship. He would probably be the type of character open to office romance.
Felicia Sauvage
Gender:Â Female
Age:Â 30-40
Occupation:Â French teacher
FC Suggestions:Â Vanessa Paradis
Brief History:
Felicia was born in France and she grew up there. In France, she was known as a 'peasant'. which is not a bad thing there-it is more of an honour because it means someone who lives close to the land/natural wonders. She went to school like a normal child and she was always academically okay, but she did best in English and she always wanted to move to America to teach French to Americans.
Felicia graduated from a prestigious university in France and then moved to America. She has been teaching at Barfield High School ever since. Her parents got a divorce after she moved to America. She has two kids; one is three and one is in grade two at elementary school. She is a working mom and her husband mostly looks after the kids, although she took a year off when the first one was born.
Personality Traits:
Felicia is pretty patriotic to her birth country and prefers to always do things 'the french way.' When she speaks English, she has a pretty weird high-pitched voice which is subject to teasing from a lot of her students. She is usually quite gentle but can easily go from calm to very angry when someone is purposely irritating her. Her english, at times, is not great, but she usually manages to get her message accross. She doesn't really like to catch people out for doing the wrong thing, even if she would never do something like that. She is generally a caring person.
Additional Information: Â I would absolutely love if you found an fc who has a crooked nose because fsr I really want her to have a crooked nose. If anyone wants to make her kids or husband that is great too.
Kristina MataraciÂ
Gender:Â Female
Age:Â 35-45
Occupation: History, Geography and Life Skills teacher.
FC Suggestions:Â Drew BarrymoreÂ
Brief History:Â
Kristina was born in Boston but she moved to Miduna Beach when she was thirteen and she attended Miduna Beach High School. Her favourite subject was always drama/performance and once she played the character Rizzo in a production of Grease at Miduna Beach High School. She never really liked any academic subjects until she got to college, when she realised she wanted to be a teacher and so she started trying harder and enjoying those subjects more.
She went back to Boston for university and graduated as a teacher. She stayed in Boston for a year before moving back to Miduna Beach. When she couldn't get a job as a teacher at Miduna Beach High School, she went to Barfield High School and they hired her. She has been teaching there for a while now.
Kristina got married when she was 28 to a turkish man which is why she has a turkish surname. She tells people that she 'identifies' as Turkish because she prefers the culture and food. She has two sons, one just started elementary school and the other has almost graduated (from elementary school.)Â
Personality Traits:Â
Kristina could almost be described as slightly bipolar; one minute she is really mad at someone and the next she is dancing around and wondering why they aren't too. She can be a bit bitchy sometimes and other times really daggy. She likes to make references to old television shows, often solely because she knows they won't understand. She likes to be around people and she likes people talking about her, even if it is for embarassing reasons.
Additional Information:  You are  totally welcome to use a different faceclaim.
Iva Sandalwood
Gender:Â Male
Age:Â 23-29
Occupation:Â Physical Education teacher
FC Suggestions:Â Taylor Launter
Brief History:Â
Iva was born and bred in Barfield. He has not moved once in his life. He hasn't even been on a holiday out of the country in his entire life. He started school at Barfield Elementary School when he was six and he hasn't really grown up much since. Sport was always a highlight of his school life. He was never exactly high achieving in academic subjects and he never really enjoyed them.Â
He went to Barfield High School,then Barfield Community College, then a university out of the area. He graduated as a physical education teacher and went on to teach at Barfield High School. He was rejected twice but then a position opened up and he was hired.
Just at the start of this year, Iva got married to his wife, Isabella Sandalwood. They don't have any children and aren't thinking of having any anytime soon.
Personality Traits:Â
Iva comes accross as not the most intelligent. he is sometimes distant and, more often than not, forgetful. He often is rude to groups of people without realising it because he usually doesn't think before he talks. He is close with his colleagues and often tries to get random free stuff from them. He never really grew up.
Additional Information:Â
His wife is an identical twin and he often mixes her up with her twin, so that relationship probably won't last too long.
