STILL IN PROGRESS DON'T BUST MY BALLS. I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.
Victoria Redwood
Victoria Redwood is as of the year 201M2023, is an 18 year old high school student in St. Hammond, attending her senior year. She's a member of the Feathertails volleyball team. She lives in her family estate and is the youngest of the three siblings.
Characterization
Victoria is a well-meaning girl who come as a bit odd to strangers. She's direct in her approach and speech, and is quick to establish herself around.
Victoria was born into a rich family and grew up in her large family estate. She acquired the manners of her family, minus the elitism. Victoria had an affinity for sports as a child, and enjoys physical activity, while retaining some of her less-active hobbies such as reading novels and singing. Soon enough, she found herself a spot in the sports teams, last one being St. Hammond's volleyball team.
Victoria was raised as a proper lady, she knows etiquette of an aristocrat but only employs it when the setting is right (such as when she's in her estate, attending a formal event or when she's on a proper date). When she doesn't have anyone to impress, she acts rather casual (even though it's not casual compared to others, she still stands out.)
Victoria speaks in an elevated, sophisticated manner, often using complex and old-fashioned words (Example: Instead of ''Hello.'' she uses ''Greetings.'', she usually doesn't shorten sentences). Her use of more complex and old vocabulary is inherited from her parents, as everyone in The Redwood family speaks in such mannners, though each generation comes closer to modern relaxed use of english. Victoria does speak 'normal' when her mind is occupied, hinting that she does know how to speak like her peers, and is upholding her family practice willingly.
She DOES NOT have an accent.
Victoria is well-meaning but often clueless. Her lack of social awareness and weird behavior is because of her extreme focus on sports and success. She's lacking in the social area because she often preferred studying and working on herself rather than socializing with her peers during her childhood. Due to her self-inflicted isolation for a long time, she comes as socially awkward despite herself not knowing. She may miss jokes and sarcasm occasionally.
She's brutally honest most of the time but understands that some things should not be said, nevertheless she still doesn't lie but instead opt out for straight up asking what the other side would think if she spoke her mind instead of testing waters without making it obvious. She's socially aware, but not smooth enough to hide her thoughts.
Victoria is easy to read emotionally as she doesn't try to hide it. When she's happy she's more animate and talkative. She's rarely upset to the point of frowning or crying, usually she's just bummed. She's not optimistic or overly cheerful, but she doesn’t dwell on things that make her sad.
She's one of the top students of St. Hammond with straight A's for every class she has. This isn't because she's a genius of sort, but rather, she studies properly, and is a highly disciplined person. Problem is she's not interested in any of them except sports and wants to pursue a career regarding that.
While Victoria enjoys attention she gets from achievements like any other person, she doesn't seek it, rather, she seeks the achievement itself and the prize along with it.
She has an unhealthy view on relationships and associates them with being successful, often trying to 'gauge' the relationship she has. While she does enjoy the company of friends, she also sees them as thropies she earned. This isn’t out of sense of superiority or viewing people as nothing more than something to be earned, but rather warped view on relationships and hyperfocus on goals.
The root of this mindset comes from her upbringing. The Redwood is a family of overachievers and hoarders of all kinds of achievements. When Victoria's lack of social life was addressed, she started to question herself and wrongly associated having friends with success.
While both are prone to miss social clues, Inco was forced to constantly separate from his friends and neglected by his parents, Victoria however inflicted it upon herself, even if the root cause could be traced to her family. She had the time to develop relationships and socialize.
''Cjk.''
Victoria involuntarily chirps when she forces herself to stay silent. It's basically the same as speaking under one's breath, except what comes out is just "Cjk!", she can't help it and is insecure about this trait. It's unknown if it's a force of habit, some sort of knee jerk reaction or a weird version of Tourette's.
Physical
Victoria is a megaraptor.
Her scale color is pinkish red, with maroon stripes on her snoot, neck, biceps and tail. Her dark brown long hair is usually kept tame with a ponytail. She has multiple feathers on her hairline, with the tip being crimson color while the base is same as her hair. She has feathers located on her elbows which are crimson color. She has an extremely short tail (I hate it as a tailfag but canon depiction shows her with a short one sadly). The color of her irises is gold and her scalera being yellow.
She is tall and athletic, her limbs are not overly muscular but toned. She's pretty strong compared to her classmates and regularly works out.
Her stare is often described as "expectant". She doesn't do it on purpose.
Victoria is usually seen with sportswear but when she's sure that she won't be moving around much, she dresses casually.
Relationships
Victoria is the youngest child and only daughter of William and Courtney Redwood.
Her father, William Redwood is usually busy with work and have dedicated hours for spending time with his family. Victoria likes to make her father proud by mentioning her newly reached heights. She makes sure to impress him and reassure his worries when her dad asks if she's doing alright. Victoria knows he's busy and doesn't want to trouble him, deapite William wanting to listen to his daughter.
Her mother, Courtney Redwood was mostly responsible of her upbringing, teaching her how to act, dress and live. She's also her confidant and listens to her worries, especially about her social life.
Her two elder brothers are also busy with work and their lives, but do come together for a nice dinner or gathering occasionally.
Jenine (soon to be written about) is the closest friend Victoria has.

Grace Edelweiss
Grace Edelweiss is, as of the year 201M2023, is an 18 year old high school student in St. Hammond, attending her senior year.
Characterization
Grace grew up religious, just like her parents, she was introduced to the church at a young age and started helping around as a child. Growing up, Grace was liked by her peers and the adults in her enviorement for being extremely helpful and considerate. Be it classmates, teachers, church-goers or even janitors, Grace easily conquered the hearts of all with kind gestures, small gifts and trying her best to help them out in their tasks.
Grace is extremely kind and generous, a true bleeding heart who tries her best to reduce suffering and increase happiness of people around her. She helps others without seeking anything in return or even a simple "thank you" from them. She doesn't want others to talk about her kindness, as she feels like it's showing off.
She's considerate of people while not really minding her own needs. So when someone else is being considerate of her, actively showing care for her, she feels guilty but also happy.
Grace is rather shy, especially about herself. She easily gets flustered when she receives compliments and attention.
Grace is soft-spoken with a hint of German accent barely noticable. When she's overwhelmed with emotions she sometimes defaults to German. She never raises her voice to anyone and if she happens to do so it's because she has been pushed to her limit. She avoids use of cuss words and replace them with softer words such as "Kittens!".
Grace is liked by the students and school staff for helping around.
Grace likes to stay busy, usually by helping others. She hates taking time off, as she's quick to get cabin fever. Her time is mostly spent on volunteering or working with clubs.
She's a member of fashion sewing club and enjoys gifting and donating her own produce. She also knows how to knit.
Grace enjoys treating herself with candy and other cheap snacks, and occasionally, if she's feeling like getting a bonus, an energy drink is included to her small bounty. She doesn't enjoy tea or coffe, unless they are more sugar than the main ingredient.
She hates arguing, especially with people who she likes, and is quick to give up or cave in, prioritizing other party's happiness. This doesn't extend to strangers or obviously malicious people however.
Grace mostly grew up in enviorements that were always positive to her, so she doesn't handle hostile reality of other teenagers well. Lack of conflict and malicious behavior in her childhood created a rather colorful viewpoint for her which is prone to breaking apart when the drama and conflicting emotions of people manage to touch her. Thanks to her extremely kind personality and avoidance of conflict, Grace led a peaceful life up until high-school where it became harder for her to avoid unwanted behavior. Her isolation from negative feelings resulted with her being unable to grow a thicker skin against insults, bad intent, bullying and crude behavior.
The main flaw of Grace is her emotional fragility. She doesn't handle conflict, mockery and rude remarks well and as a defense mechanism she adopted being avoidant and non-confrontational. She's very easy to upset and get a rise of, which ends up with her leaving and isolating herself until she feels ok, instead of a confrontation.
Grace doesn't want to judge people but ultimately does so, especially because of her past experiences with people. She avoids people who are rude towards others.
When she's overwhelmed, she runs away to cry.
Despite hating it, she can develop jealousy. Sometimes, in the dark isolated corner of her mind thoughts about deserving better for her sacrifices lays low. She can go through a jealous streak where she feels really bad for some time, but absolutely refuses to act on it or talk about it, instead she just gets angry at herself for feeling that way.
Her being easy to sacrifice things for others doesn't always work in her favor, she sometimes end up regretting her actions and wishing that she could keep some things, but ultimately she doesn't do anything about it and continue as she is.
Physical
Grace is a Carno-Saurophaganax hybrid.
Her scale color is white, with teal colored stripes visible on her snoot, she also has teal colored marks around her eye. Her hair color is light blue, and four cyan colored horns poke out of her hair, with two on the back while two are on the front.

Her father, John Edelweiss is a pastor in the local catholic church. He's usually stiff, seen with a monotone face but is quick to crack into something expressive. He's a Carnotaurus.
Eva Edelweiss is gentle and soft-spoken, always seen smiling but is a menace when she gets angry, defaulting to German like Grace. She's a Saurophaganax.

Evgenija ''Jenine'' Cherenkov
Characterization
Jenine could be described as 'in her lane', while she's not a total introvert, she isn't outgoing and talkative towards people she's not familiar with. She's polite and pleasant and doesn't like to speak more than she has to when interacting with strangers, keeping the conversations firm and good-spirited. She's usually perceived as 'reasonable' and easy to talk to, though she herself doesn't seek random conversations with people she does not know.
Once Jenine warms up to someone, she starts acting more genuine and caring. She starts to talk with more honesty and with less filter, showing concern and care for people who she befriends. She's ready to help and eager to hang out once she gets to open up.
Jenine enjoys working on computers and software, she wants to find a job that is involved with game or graphics designing. She's tech savvy but not a full-blown nerd to know every single program or hardware, her knowledge is on commonly employed tech and applications, such as photoshop.
She's physically active, with soccer being her favorite sport. Jenine takes good care of herself and likes to exercise, though she's not focused on muscle building.
She could loosely be called a 'tomboy'. She's sportive and doesn't try too hard to appear feminine. That doesn't mean she hates being girlish or doesn't know how to appear more feminine, it's that she likes to dress comfortably.
One of the flaws Jenine has is her fickle temper. She's prone to having anger outbursts and go on vulgar rants when things that frustrate her start piling up and push her to the edge. Her sudden rage is unpredictable and can cause her to do things she might regret later, though she doesn't like to admit that it was her fault and she should've kept herself in check.
It must be underlined that frustration gets her, not anger. She can handle insults or bullying just fine. It could be things as small as a forced update or a pebble in her shoe she's unable to get it out. The more they pile up, the more sour she gets, as she's slowly approaching her limit.
Jenine is pretty opinionated and verbose in her mind, often harboring negative thoughts which occasionally slip from her tongue.
Jenine often has hard time understanding the emotional aspect of people's actions and the situation they find themselves in, usually thinking that a rational person wouldn't do or feel such way.

She's optimistic and quick to cheer people up with proclaiming her trust in their ability and how things will get better for everyone, carrying her cheerleader spirit everywhere she goes.
