TASK #1: JOURNAL ENTRY
For our first task we want to challenge you to write a journal entry written by your character. Take an important (or not so important) occasion or day in your characters life and write it up in their diary. Think about your characters voice while you’re writing on the task. How would their writing look like? If your character isn’t the type to sit down with a pen and paper, you’re free to think of an other way in which they voice their thoughts. Perhaps a (private) blog or a video diary! Anything is possible!

ZARINA BRADY is a 20 year old resident of Penbrook. She was born on August 4th 1997. People say she looks similar to Perrie Edwards. Zarina is TAKEN.
B I O G R A P H Y .
Zarina was born on August 4th and originally named Alma. She was adopted from birth, growing up with an older brother. She was never informed that she was was adopted and she lived her life, until she was about 13, believing she was a biological Brady. Before then, she was a sweet and innocent girl. Always carefree and always happy. However, after she found out, she began a rebellious streak, dying her hair outrageous colors, acting out, and decided to re-brand herself with the name Zarina. She found out right before the start of freshman year when her parents decided to move from southern California to northern California.
Growing up, her mother put her in gymnastics to hopefully help her burn off some of the energy she had stored up in her little body. Zarina took to it like a pro and was at home, swinging above everyone. She was talented and a natural in the sport. If she had wanted, she could have easily gone pro, but she didn’t feel like it was for her, especially as she got older. She even missed a meeting with a scout because it was what her mom wanted and not what she wanted.
Zarina, who is know as Z to the two or three people she is close enough to, is an extremely flirty and friendly person. However she’s very sassy, outspoken and can stand up for herself. She’s been on her own since she graduated high school. Since then she’s never really stayed in one place for too long. And drives a motorcycle instead of a car simply because you can’t pack a lot on bike. She’s had multiple jobs, mechanic being one of them so she could fix her bike herself. it wasn’t until she moved to Penbrook and met Ben that she decided that maybe it was a good idea to plant some roots and no longer be a rolling stone. Currently she’s working as a mechanic while she’s getting a degree to become an interpreter since she learns foreign languages in her spare time.
S E C R E T S .
Zarina, whose birth name is Alma and went by it until the discovery, found out she was adopted by accident. She was helping pack the attic when she found an envelope that had her name on it. Opening it, She read it. When she confronted her parents, they told her that her parents didn’t care about her. Zarina  then did all research that she could on her case. However she couldn’t get anything, not even a last name. The papers had all the information blacked out. She did school projects on it and soon found out more. During her research, she found out that her parents had tried for appeals. However, her parents lie only fueled her anger even more. She also was hurt and upset that her brother played along with it, not telling her a thing. But because of this, She has become very distant from people, though she’s friendly. She doesn’t get close to many people. The only one she wants to get close to is her sister. Especially after the next person she got close to, Quincy, ended up disappearing. She hasn’t talked to her brother since she left but part of her is ready to. The other part is just stubborn.
Zarina is a bit of a pyro. She has a love for fire, how it can cause such chaos, but still be under control. She feels like she identifies with fire because her life is so out of control, but she’s regaining her own control.  One time in Virginia, Zarina and a few friends, including Quincy, were hanging out at a rental home. They decided to have a bon fire and accidentally set the house on fire. She couldn’t put it out herself, too transfixed watching the flames. Quincy pulled her away from it. She left Virginia because she had stolen money from a local gang after setting fire to their warehouse because they were always giving her and Quincy a hard time. It was after Quincy left and she heard them bad mouthing him. She left before anyone could pin it on her and no one knows it was her.
Zarina doesn’t tell anyone about her past, not really.Quincy knew because of how close the two were but now he has no memory of their life in Virginia so she won’t remind him. They will smack each other into reality but make each other feel better. And all Ben knows is her birth name and she’s adopted.
C O N N E C T I O N S .
Dating Ben.
Knew Quincy before hand, ad they became friends again. He told her when he left.
Working on a friendship with Trinity.
Best friends with Kasia.
Friends with Nicolette.

ROBBIE MOORE is a 50 year old resident of Penbrook. He was born on February 6th, 1968. People say she looks similar to Marc Maron. Robbie is TAKEN.
B I O G R A P H Y .
Robbie grew in in Penbrook, but he was always one of those too big for his own boots kinda guys – one of the ‘I’m jumping ship as soon as hit eighteen’ types. So that’s what he did. He hated school and he hated the town, there was little else for him to stay for besides his family, which still weren’t enough to keep him tied there. Sure, eighteen years was enough with his two sisters and (what he considered) overbearing parents. As soon as he graduated from high school, he picked up and moved to New York to go to college, majoring in both English and theology and loving every second of it.
By age twenty-two, Robbie had graduated, and this was the exact moment he realised he had absolutely no plan. All his life was him waiting and planning and working towards getting into college in New York and getting out of his deadbeat hometown, but now he had done that. He had never planned that far. All he knew was he had a voice, he decided to cling to the belief that he had something to say, and so his plan was to force it down the throats of those who were willing to listen, and of those who were not. He began working the comedy circuit in New York, getting into radio and writing his own stuff to try and get made. Eventually, however, he decided against the comedy route, figuring he would never make too much money from it, and he moved to LA to try to get into writing for tv. He struggled for a good few years then, mostly couch surfing between friends and paychecks until the he pissed off the owner of said couch and they kicked him off of it.
Eventually a tv show he wrote was picked up. Though the show was cancelled before the first season even finished airing, it opened up quite a few doors for him and he was offered jobs working on different networks for other shows. Things actually went well for Robbie for the first time in a while, and by the time he was thirty-five he was married to an actress he hired on one of the shows he was working on, and was raking in the cash, more successful than he ever thought he could be. Despite never really caring much about anything people back in his hometown thought, he’d always hoped they were cursing themselves for not treasuring him like he thought they should have when he was there. He was on top, and he didn’t feel that there was anything that could make him fall. That was, of course, totally false. Few things ever end well, and especially not when you have an addictive and totally asshole personality.
The pressure of working as hard as he was supposed to be got to Robbie, and he began drinking more and more – that and the excessive drug taking that would be taking place at the parties he would be attending that he felt so inclined to take part in. By the time he was forty-five, he had completely fallen off the wagon. He was fired by the people who were once so overly eager to have him working for them, and his wife had filed for divorce and taken as much as she possibly could from him, and so he did the only thing he could do: he called it quits. No one would hire him, his old friends wouldn’t return his calls. Robbie entered rehab and, upon eventually leaving rehab, Robbie, tail between legs, returned to Penbrook.
Now Robbie works writing freelance – occasionally comedy, occasionally trying to do radio, though a lot of the time it’s ad sales. Never does anything he write reach the audience it once would have, and he’s forever bitter about that fact. He figures people just don’t get it, they don’t get him – it’s nothing to do with an intolerable personality with a never stopping throwing the punches attitude.
S E C R E T S .
Robbie refuses to detail exactly what happened in his downfall, he never mentioned rehab to anyone he knew and tries to keep up the pretence of him getting back on track all on his own, claiming that he hated the ‘Hollywood phonies’ and refusing to acknowledge the fact that they were the ones that didn’t want him. He’s incredibly ashamed about what happened to him and his career and the breakdown of essentially every relationship he had there, but he’s more ashamed of the fact he doesn’t remember half of it.
He might have a daughter, though this daughter might be a son — though this daughter or son might actually have been a dream, Robbie doesn’t really remember much anything from the period of his life that he thinks of as his ‘downfall’. He is very aware that he cheated on his wife, though he’s not sure with who nor where nor when, actually. He doesn’t know to what extent his ex-wife knows about his infidelity, especially since he doesn’t know the details himself, so he tries to keep it on the down low - he doesn’t really know who has what on him. One woman did try contacting him though to tell him that they were having his child. Robbie isn’t sure exactly who the mother of his possible child would be. All Robbie has knowledge wise is a vague recollection of waking up one morning with an awful hangover and a text message from a number he didn’t recognise telling him that they were having his child. In the midst of his total headache of this specific hangover, he left his phone somewhere and forgot all about the message and never replied. He hasn’t heard anything since, but now (in his sober mind) it’s always eating away at him, especially since he has absolutely no leads on it.

CARMEN CONWAY-BRITTON is a 17 year old resident of Penbrook. She was born on July 7th, 2000. People say she looks similar to Miranda Cosgrove. Carmen is TAKEN.
B I O G R A P H Y .
Carmen Conway-Britton was born on the 10th of March in LA to Lydia Conway and Alan Britton, who had married about 3 years before she was born. Growing up Carmen was always smart, often smarter than people older than her, and had a gift when it came to using technology. She was always quite snarky and sarcastic towards her brothers, Jake and Elwood, though everyone else saw her as just an innocent, smart little girl. She moved to Penbrook when she was 14, after the death of her parents, and won’t talk about her life before Salem all that much.
Since being in Penbrook Carmen has become considerably nicer to her brothers, though she still has a tendency to be rude to them sometimes and will often play pranks on them. Despite how she treats them she cares for her brothers a lot and would kill anyone if they seriously hurt either of them. She has - on occasion - shown them her caring side, but she tends to keep that side hidden most of the time. She barely shows her sadness, but when she does it can last for a long time. She is quite stubborn, though she does know when to stop talking about things.
About two months ago Carmen seemed to have just disappeared. There one day and gone the next. She left her brothers a note saying she had to get away and that she’d keep in touch. She went back to LA to see if she could get herself to feel more like herself. While she was gone she would text her brothers a couple of times a week, though she refused to give details of where she went or why she left. But now she’s finally returning to Penbrook, no plans on how to explain her disappearance but eager to get back to normal. 
S E C R E T S .
When she was 14, her parents were killed in a home invasion. Elwood and Jake came home and discovered the crime, but Carmen was at her friend Mara’s house. The boys never told her exactly what happened but she was put into their care. After her parents death shes wanted to find out exactly what happened, but she always hits a dead end. She’s been trying to research their deaths more recently, though she’s hiding that fact from her brothers.
She has a hidden part of her wardrobe that you can only find if you push a button just inside the door, it lifts up part of the wall revealing a small compartment where she keeps gadgets and things she wants to keep secret.
When she’s under stress or in high pressure situations she has hallucinations, the severity of the hallucinations depends on how stressed/pressured she is, though they’re usually enough to terrify her, even if they aren’t very severe. She also has quite graphic nightmares, mostly after having her hallucinations, that make her wake up screaming or crying. She does her best to hide these from her brothers but it’s not easy to hide screaming. She deals with her nightmares and hallucinations by self harming, mostly by cutting but sometimes by burning or other ways she can manage.
Right before leaving Penbrook Carmen was raped by a boy she considered a good friend. She thought she was pregnant and ran away, but the test had come up with a fake positive. She returned after finding out she wasn’t pregnant, not having any excuse to tell people as to why she ran away.
C O N N E C T I O N S .
Friends with Luke.
Looks up to Watson.

TRISTEN THOMAS is a 20 year old resident of Penbrook. He was born on July 11th, 1997. People say he looks similar to Tyler Young. Tristen is TAKEN.
B I O G R A P H Y .
This boy is someone who prefers to be unknown, anonymous. He doesn’t toss out his name to anyone, only people he trusts. But when he does, he’ll introduce himself as Tristen. Tristen was born in Poland, he was a happy kid with a great big brother, loving parents who cared for each other and them, and they were all close. Until his parents slowly got ill and died within weeks of each other. He was only four years old, his older brother, Kasia, was eight. Tristen began closing off, keeping to himself mostly. Then, they were dragged to an aunt and uncle in custody that he didn’t even know he was related to, where they lived in a giant, crumbling mansion. It was now only Tristen, Kasia, his aunt Jadzia, and his uncle Adok. Things were normal for the first few days, before his aunt pulled him to the side and spoke crossly. He’d always remembered the words she said, even if he was young. “Your parents aren’t dressing you right… Shouldn’t you be in a nice pretty dress?” Her Polish was beautiful, but her words were ugly. A dress? Why would he wear a dress. He’d never heard her call him by his name, and it took him a while before he realized ‘Liddie’ was her addressing him. Liddie Jackson. When he didn’t respond, he got a smack somewhere on the body. The boy got older, the slaps got harder, the slaps evolved. She began to abuse him and torture him in several different forms; near drowning, branding, starvation, over-feeding, freezing, humiliation, beatings, choked, whippings, anything to inflict pain without death. He was forced to go by Liddie, call himself a girl, and dress like a girl.
This went on until he was twelve. He fell asleep in the girly pajamas his aunt made for him, and woke up to Kasia shaking him awake. He barely explained the situation, dragging the younger boy out the door with suitcases already waiting for them outside. An intruder came in and hurt their aunt, she was dead. Their uncle was still asleep, but they had to leave, far away. Tristen didn’t mind, so he grabbed everything he could and ran off with Kasia. They paused long enough for him to change into proper boy’s clothes, before illegally hopping on a boat undiscovered, to Penbrook. America. Zarek got a job within days to provide for the both of them. He knew better English than Tristen, since he was allowed to go to school and ‘Liddie’ wasn’t, but slowly taught him when he could. Tristen never, ever left their little, abandoned motel room. No one questioned their presence, but that didn’t change anything. He was scarred and terrified. He changed his wardrobe to only sweaters and long pants to cover the disgusting scars that covered his body, and spent all his time inside, either on the computer or reading or watching television. They moved once, a year later, when Kasia had enough money for an apartment. That’s where they stay together now. Since they moved there, he’s expanded his horizons and got his own job in online programming when he was eighteen, and has picked up several things; new languages, new instruments, a bunch of useless facts. He’s terrified and timid, but he’s ready to continue on in the world and start his life with little to no knowledge of how things work.
S E C R E T S .
In general, his entire life is a secret. Only his brother knows the full extent of the pain he’d suffered throughout his life. However, there are a few things even Kasia doesn’t know, that he’d want to take to the grave. The only way to get out of his aunt’s torture was by reciting a speech. It went, “My name is Liddie Jackson. I wear my pretty dresses and I look beautiful. I love you, Auntie. I am your favorite niece. You have one nephew and one niece. I am your pretty girl named Liddie.” He’d be nearly killed if he didn’t say it. Now, because of all the pain, he’s got DID, or dissociative identity disorder. This didn’t spring up until he left his apartment for the first time, when he got pushed to the ground by a stranger. He has two split personalities, though he only knows of one. Liddie is one, she’s the most aggressive. She’s everything his aunt wanted him to be. That’s what the tests were for, to make her strong and immune. She’s ruthless and cold, she finds friends and support as a burden and a weakness. She comes out when he’s feeling scared or threatened. The other is Jakub, though he isn’t aware Jakub exists. He’s everything Tristen aspired to be. Confident and cool, in simplest terms. He’s the most aware personality and can easily give control back to Tristen, though Liddie is too powerful of a force and he can’t override her.
Tristen was feeling especially scared one night and got his hands on cocaine. It made him feel alive and he wasn’t afraid of anything. He never understood the effects, he didn’t even know they were illegal or harmful, just that they made him feel good. Whenever he’s sad and doesn’t use, which is pretty often, he sits alone in his room in his shared apartment with his brother, where he sets up a camera and records himself, talking to his dead parents to update them on his life. He stashes said tapes under his bed, and nobody knows where they are nor of their existence.
Generally his whole life is a secret, he doesn’t like to tell people anything that’s happened to him. But one thing he wants to take to the grave is his body unseen. He has gruesome scars all over himself, mostly on the torso, spreading to arms and thighs more scarcely, but Jadzia was careful to avoid his neck, forearms, and calves to avoid suspicious eyes in warmer months. He’s horribly insecure of them and would probably have a meltdown if someone saw them.
C O N N E C T I O N S .
Close friends with Lia.
Sees Yevette as a mother figure and Floyd as a father figure.
Kasia is his older sister.

KASIA TOMAS is a 25 year old resident of Penbrook. She was born on May 1st, 1992. People say she looks similar to Caitlin Stasey. Kasia is TAKEN.
B I O G R A P H Y .
Kasia was always a happy child.  She grew up in the beautiful country of Poland with her parents and baby brother Tristen.  Her life reminded her of the stories that she read about in books.  She couldn’t imagine a better life than what she had.  However, that soon her storybook life began to take a turn into a dark and twisted novel.  Her parents became ill and they died shortly after each other leaving the young siblings.  Then they were handed to an Aunt and Uncle that they had no idea existed.  Shortly after the move Kasia began to understand why they had never met these family members.  She noticed that her brother was being called by the wrong name and that he was being put in Kasia’s old clothes.  Meanwhile, her Uncle was spending far to much time around her for her comfort.  She noticed him staring for to long and began to dress in men’s clothing to avoid the stares though it didn’t do much to help.  As her Aunt spent most of her time focused on Tristen; Kasia was usually stuck alone with her Uncle.  
As Kasia noticed that their guardians behavior was not normal and that things were getting out of hand.  Since, they had no help Kasia did whatever she could to protect her brother.  She would take any beatings she could for him and did what she had to until she was sent off to school.  While at school life got worse for her the teachers were awful and rude.  She often found herself with extremely strange punishments that she chooses not to remember.  One day she had enough of the abuse and ran away from school and returned home late at night.  She found her brother and got him out of the home.  They hopped stowed away on a boat and came to America where Kasia hoped she could finally give her brother the storybook life he deserved.
When they first moved to America they had to live in an abandoned motel since they had no way to support themselves.  Kasia found a job as a maid at a nearby hotel and worked constantly until enough money was saved to move until they could move into a proper home. When she was finally able to move them to Penbrook she found herself a job as a secretary at a law firm and is currently working on getting Tristen and herself work Visas from the lawyers at the office.  She is a little more open to people than her brother, but refuses to speak much about life in Poland.  She hopes that they can finally get the life they deserve here in Penbrook.  
S E C R E T S .
Kasia always feels guilty for having been sent to school when Tristen needed her most. However, in her teen years she began to discover who she was and her sexuality.  She had come to discover that she was bi-sexual and she knew she could never let her Aunt and Uncle know or her life would be ruined.  However, one day Kasia was spending time with a girl she had connected with and they were making-out when her Aunt caught her.  This is when she was sent to a school to “fix” her.  The school was an awful place where she was abused worse than she had been than when she was living with her family.  
When the abuse from the school and the memories of what was happening to Tristen while she was gone became to much she ran away from school back to her home she killed her aunt.  She knew it was the only way to save her brother, but things got out of hand as the rage boiled over in her.  This is the one secret that she keeps from her brother because if he knew his whole world would collapse and she couldn’t have that.  
C O N N E C T I O N S .
Tristen Tomas is her brother.
Best friends with Zarina.
