MAIN CHARACTERS:
NOLAN SHAPE: Nolan's where it all started, two years ago when Nolan was a Nolen. He has two main canons: Misshapes, a story about him, how he came to live in the laundromat on Thyme, keeping a respectable business front for the meth lab next door, and how he came to fall in love with a girl he called the Sunflower Girl, and The Sunflower, The Seed and the Scarecrow, about a year and a half later when the Sunflower Girl waltzes back into his life, drugs in her veins and a baby in her belly, just as much of a brat and a gypsy as she was a year ago, just a bit more damaged, lost and confused.
ZIA MIKAL: Zia spends her days gardening, and also faking relationships with actors with daddy issues. :) Nolan's best friend, she was the first to meet him, and dragged Delia to this crazy laundromat where she forced Delia to pretend she was doing laundry while actually sizing up the scrawny teenager that seemed to have a full time job tending it. Then, of course, in her main canon, Play For Keeps, she meets Elliot, with whom she fakes a marriage to.
ELLIOT COYNE: A broke aspiring actor who sometimes gets stuck inside of his swimmy head. Gave his drivers license to Zia upon first meeting to prove he wasn't a creeper, or if he was, he was a creeper with a reallllly good fake idea. A for Effort?
RYLIE SOMEWHERE: Nolan's Sunflower Girl. A mess and a wreck and a brat. Rylie kept Nolan hungry because she could, but then she needed him, and he let her slide back into his life with no big deal, invited the rurricane into his house in hopes that it would like the scenery. Rylie's last name is Somewhere because her mother thought her Stripper Name would make a charming Real Name.
DELIA AUSTEN: The more capable, pretty, fun friend. Zia sometimes thinks she exists only to make her look frumpy and awkward in comparison.
HEL FLETCHER: Hel somehow inherited her little brother Rory when Charolette Phelan left one night in the middle of the rainstorm with a, "Going to go pick up some ice cream," and never came back. She does what she has to to keep them together, and at the Crooked Trees point of her life, what she has to looks very Holly Golightly. A companion, not a prostitute.
RORY FLETCHER: Fourteen, geeky, and with too much energy that translates into a weird sort of charisma. He's dyslexic, but is seriously clever, even when he feels like an idiot. He's a walking TvTropes encyclopedia, and he's seriously into telling stories, even when he doesn't realize it.
Rainbow sprinkles:
Zia's four older brothers, Mark, Chris, Mitch, and Romulus.
Aubrey, the high school sophomore - junior (when Rory is 14-15). Sometimes she is kind of his girlfriend. ;)
Parker, Hel's standoffish boyfriend. Must be a family "type" :P
I'm trying to put these chronologically, but I may screw up. <3 (Ones without links haven't been posted yet, and there are some that could fit into two lists, but I'll put them where the primary focus is.)
Also: <3 is code for "I really enjoy this,"
and :) is code for good introductory piece
