PERSONALITY
➳ Roman is fiercely loyal and protective of what he deems his. He does not share well with others and struggles to trust new people. Roman never pays attention to anything for very long- conversations, activities, classes- and bores very quickly. Though a very talented lacrosse player, he is not the most dedicated and his attention wanders during games, leading to a lot of conflict with the coach. Conflict is common in Roman’s life, and though he lets on that it doesn’t bother him with a manufactured bored expression, he often dwells on criticisms or mistakes.

They married when he was 12. Roman was very close to Nina and grew closer to her after the birth of his brother JJ when he was 14. Since Day’s arrival in New York, Roman has been distant from all family members. He is deeply resentful of Day and cannot tolerate the other boy. The Wests own an empire of hotels across the country and currently reside on the top floor of their flagship building on the Upper East Side, the bar of which (West 29) is a popular nightlife destination

PERSONAL INFORMATION

PERSONALITY
Mara is a giant romantic, she loves romance novels, romance movies, romance of all kinds. She is the kind of person who gets excited on behalf of other peoples’ relationships and crushes. She is a great believer in true love and soulmates and destiny, having grown up on fairy tales and folklore, and the stories of her grandparents’ epic courtship. She is a voracious reader and is not shy about crying over the sad bits.
Due to her upbringing, Mara has an inherent need for acceptance and to please others. Tension or arguing can send her into a panic so she puts a lot of energy into keeping the peace in all situations. She will go above and beyond to make others happy or maintain their approval, often to her own detriment. Mara is a natural worrier, she gets anxious over minor details and imagined mistakes. She is only ever truly calm in the water.
Despite her near constant worries, Mara can also be carefree and playful. She gets on well with children and is a great teacher. She is silly, often dancing around the kitchen to music or singing as she does chores. She likes to compete, especially in areas where she is skilled or trained.

LIKES
Pop music- Romance novels- Pride and Prejudice- Happy endings- Dancing- Singing- Video games- Reading

DISLIKES
Raised voices- Tension- Breakups- Sad endings-

TALENTS
Swimming and diving (multiple times champion in many disciplines) - Baking- Playing ukulele- Singing

FEARS
Abandonment

MENTAL AILMENTS
Mara has extreme anxiety and can descend into a panic attack quite easily. This is made worse by her water withdrawals

POWER
Mara can breathe under water due to biological enhancements to her lungs. She was a strong swimmer before the Project, but this was also enhanced during her time there. She is the closest a human can get to being an aquatic creature without a tail or gills, to the point where she was jokingly referred to as “The Mermaid" during the course of the Project.

STRENGTHS
Her speed underwater is greater than any known creature, moving like a torpedo with a single kick of her feet. She never needs to come up for air, her body can filter oxygen from the water without external gills. She is not limited to fresh, salt or treated water- any body deep enough to submerge herself will do

WEAKNESSES
Her aptitude for the water became a physical need, essential to her survival. The longer she goes without being in water, the worse her withdrawal symptoms become, until her body starts to shut down like a fish out of a bowl. It begins as tremors, shortness of breath, lack of concentration, and will deteriorate into complete into lung failure until she dies. As a result, she must be able to swim at least every few days to remain functional.

BACKGROUND
Mara grew up with an emotional absent mother, so her grandmother raised her from birth, assuming the role her mother refused to. She loved her grandmother fiercely and had a normal childhood under her care. Her grandmother encouraged her love of swimming, enrolling her in lessons early on and cheering her on at every competition. When her grandmother died when she was nine, Mara was left with a mother who didn’t want her or like her. Her mother would disappear for days at a time and ignore her daughter when their paths crossed. Mara did her best to carry on as normal, but soon the neighbours noticed her emaciated frame and her absent mother and reported the family to Child Protective Services. Mara entered foster care at age eleven and bounced between homes for many years, never staying anywhere for long. This didn’t stop her from getting attached to the families who treated her kindly, though they were few. Many foster parents were as neglectful and distant as her mother. When the opportunity arose to enter the Project, Mara paid of her foster parent at the time to allow her to enroll.
