OOC: Infopost Cha-Cha!

I have a new girl! Which I will mostly use as an excuse to post a bunch of gifs of her. You have been warned.

XANTHIPPE LANNISTER VOORHEES
Yes, really.







So, the basics: Xanthippe (pronounced zan-THIP-ee) is a 15-year-old rich girl from Manhattan, although she's coming to Fandom from a six-month-or-so long stay in Connecticut with her mother, her new husband (whose main hobby is mental golfing), and their quintuplet babies. Ew. She used to live in New York with her dad, stepmother, and half-brother, but then her stepmother divorced her dad and since her dad is away on business more than he's around, poor little Xan ended up getting booted to Connecticut.

Xan is also the most formal daddy's girl I've ever seen.




As far as her personality goes, Xanthippe is not the nicest person. She's an entitled brat, to put it bluntly. She has no problem marveling at how poor people are, and has little respect for authority (or at least stepmothers and nannies). She's also a 2010s teenager to the goddamned max. She uses IMHO and WTF in speech (the latter in "What the double you tee eff are you doing?" no less), goes right back to taking selfies with a friend who's just been saved from alcohol poisoning, and is genuinely disgusted and shocked at someone in this day and age not having a cellphone. She can also carry a conversation entirely in emoji.



If she thinks you're cool, she'll be friendly and try to make you like her. If she deems you uncool, she's likely to range from standoffish to straight-up mean. Please know that nothing is meant by this OOCly, ever. She's just not the friendliest. (Fandom will probably be confusing for her, anyway: like many Cool Kids before her, she'll be baffled and unsettled by the lack of a proper social hierarchy at the school. Oh em gee.)

Also, there's this:







... Which is actually a front. See, Xan wants to be one of the cool people. And it's not cool to know things. And the truth is, Xan does know things. She's actually a straight-A student who plays (or, played, as it happens) the oboe in band and has a waterproof birding journal. I assume her 'cool people' friends went to a different school because there's no way she could've hidden the first two things successfully from them otherwise.

And while she'll gladly make it seem like she's totally gone all the way with hot guys, ahahaha not so much. She's made out with a guy once. She told her friends she had a hot surfer boyfriend in California, but her family's nanny busted her for stealing the story straight out of a Babysitters' Club novel.







So she's actually pretty uncool underneath it all. But, most people won't get to see that. On the surface, Xanthippe is still a highly entitled and self-centered and insensitive rich girl who thinks nothing of seriously claiming she's being bullied when told to go to her rooms (yes, plural). Also, she's holding a massive grudge against Kimmy the nanny for encouraging her stepmom to get a divorce, which resulted in her ending up first in Connecticut and then here at boarding school. She's sworn to get revenge and everything, guys.

So basically, as far as most people are concerned, Xanthippe Voorhees is a Mean Girl in grungey clothing.



Hair game strong, tho. Also, the canon is Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and the PB is the delightful Dylan Gelula.
