Theme Song ​

Sometimes, all we wish for is an escape. Some way to get away. And yet, there are other moments in our lives that make us think that we're dreaming. Because those moments are better than our dreams...​

As you can see, we'll be playing Disney Princesses! Except they'll be a group of close friends, all attending the same high school in the fall of their senior year. They've each got their own little romance story just waiting to happen... or not, if you choose otherwise.

Anyway, they've known each other forever and they all have their own things going on - but they still are best friends. They attend a large high school in upstate New York - a school large enough that they may not have met any of the guys before this year.

For the sake of a sequel that I'd like to do, all the characters will (eventually) be going to NYU (New York University). So just remember, when applying for your character's colleges, keep that in mind.

I do have a request - you must play TWO characters. One must be male. That's because I have a feeling that not that many guys are going to be into this thing. So, please play one of the girls and a guy from one of the other relationships. Details about each of the characters is below. (If there are more than eight people interested, then I'll allow people to 'give' characters to the newcomers.)

Important: if you can think of a Disney princess that you want to play that I forgot, feel free to suggest. Also, if you have a better background story than the one I have below, PM me! Especially if you're the girl in that particular story.

The Rules

We all hate them... but obey them and I won't have to get nasty. I hate being mean... But anyway, they're mostly common sense. I think that you have that...

• No Godmodding.
• Romance, obviously, is encouraged. But take it to PMs if it's gonna get nasty, okay?
• Please keep cursing to a minimum. No F-bombs.
• Please, no Mary-Sues or Gary-Stues. Give your character some flaws. Even if Disney failed to do that...
• Literacy. I'd like decent posts. Keep the typos to a minimum. I'll be checking up on your other posts.
• Keep it active... once every week. At least. At the other end of the spectrum, don't let the ping-ponging get to an extreme. A good rule of thumb is to wait for at least two people to post before you post again.
• Keep all OOC conversation to the OOC.
• I may think of new rules. D:

The Beauty and the Beast​

Belle is a natural-born reader. Extremely smart, she is a quiet girl who cares more about her family and favorite book characters than guys. Her father, widowed and poor, cares selflessly for his only child's happiness. Among her friends, she is the smart girl who helps them all with homework. She also is the shy girl; she's the most nervous when it comes to boys. She is pursued by the big flirt and football player Gaston, whom she refuses to date.

Adam is, frankly, ugly. The guys on the football team, teasing him, call him "the Beast", due to his hideous face. He is, however, an earnest guy who is kind and quiet. He isn't the smartest guy in the world, but he does take several more advanced courses, sometimes catching the lovely Belle's eye.

During October of their senior year, Belle and Adam's physics teacher assigns a group project, with assigned partners. Belle and Adam end up as a pair, forced to spend their free time until Christmas break working on building a bridge that can support over 200lbs out of paper and glue. But when when they start the project... will sparks fly?

Cinderella​

Ellen, orphaned at a young age, was raised by her stepmother, Lucy Tremaine, who had two daughters, Anastasia (Stacy) and Drizella (Amy), who happened to be Ellen's age. She is kind and nice, but she never gets any of the good stuff. It's not as though her stepmom abuses her or anything, but her stepsisters are very irresponsible, and Ellen, who can't say no, takes on all of their chores while they go out and party. Her stepmom just doesn't do anything about it. With her friends, Ellen is the sweetheart, refusing to do anything that would hurt anyone else's feelings. She's dated a few guys, but nothing serious.

Peter, a football player who is friends with Gaston, is also a flirt. He's willing to do anything to get the girl, saying ridiculous things and claiming 'forever'. He's always someone's Prince Charming, but he never has time to actually commit to anything besides the basketball team.

Peter, in need of cash, gets a job as the cashier at the restaurant that Ellen always goes to eat alone when she's tired of her family. He always sees her, but never knows quite how to approach her, since she's always alone, which isn't something that he's used to in a girl. Will he dare approach her? And what will the 'nice' Ellen do to avoid the charms of the flirtacious Peter?

Snow White​

Kayla, better known as Snow White to her closest friends (due to her almost reflective skin color), is possibly the most naive girl in the whole world. With a following of seven or so guys who are absolutely fawning over her constantly, she hasn't dated any of them and doesn't even think of them as options. Her parents don't really care what she does, so sometimes she sneaks out with Ariel and goes to parties. Guys often prank her, since she's so easy to fool. With the rest of the group, she's sort of stupid, being the one who spends the most time with Belle in order to pick her brain.

William, a very conservative guy, simply doesn't date. Extremely religious, he doesn't think that dating is exactly 'holy', so he has abstained. He is, however, quite the romantic. He plays the guitar and is serious about his music, devoting most of his time to composing tunes. This romantic side of his causes some girls who think they have a chance with him to refer to him as 'Prince Charming', but he simply doesn't think about it.

When William becomes involved in a band as the lead guitarist (possibly involving Ariel?), his band is immediately popular among the high school crowd and are booked at several 'Under Seventeen' clubs. Kayla, who is in his math class, had never really noticed him before. But when she goes to a party during one of his gigs, she sees him and instantly has a crush on him, especially since rumors say that he's waiting to give it up to someone he really cares about. So she tries to get him to like her, arranging for him to tutor her in algebra once per week. But will she be able to get through to such a stoic?

The Lion King​

Nala is the adventurous one. She's the girl who really knows how to work it when it comes to the boys, having dated quite a few of them. She's the least attached to the group, sometimes preferring to spend time with her best friend, Simba.

Simba is the prince of the school. Filthy rich, he is practically rolling in cash. He's not exactly the brightest lightbulb around. Rather, he spends most of his time jogging, which is a pointless hobby since he's not on the track team or planning to join. He sometimes spends time with Nala's best friends and has had crushes on pretty much every one of them. Except Nala. But that's about to change...

Simba and Nala have been best friends since they were children, always playing games involving exploring and hide 'n go seak. But as time goes on, they begin to develop more complicated feelings for each other. The problem? Simba's about to be shipped off to a boarding school in Boston. How will their friendship stay while Simba is gone?

The Little Mermaid​

Ariel, a funky, creative fun-lover, is only really good at two things: singing in the school choir and swimming on the swim team. Outside of the water, she is rather clumsy and naive about some things. When among friends, Ariel is the one who gets them to do things besides talk about guys. She's the one that has a bunch of "good ideas" that end up going wrong.

Eric is extremely awkward. He's even more clumsy than Ariel, but he doesn't recover easily. He has had a few near-death experiences. He's shy and quiet and doesn't know quite what to do with himself, especially when it comes to girls. Even though he has some money and a car, he has never actually kissed a girl... He met Ariel at the beginning of eleventh grade and has liked her ever since.

Ariel had started to date Eric in the spring of her eleventh grade year. She kept her relationship secret from her parents until the beginning of school, when she accidentally let it slip. Her parents, who were Olympic swimmers when they were younger, want her to devote her time to either one or the other: singing or swimming. And, of course, when she gets her very first boyfriend, they are indefinitely opposed, knowing that it will distract her from her two passions.

Mulan​

Mulan is supposed to be graceful and delicate, like all young women (*cough cough*), but instead she has turned into a clumsy, serious girl. She's the one that never gives up on anything, even when it's long dead. Her parents, who love her dearly, are afraid that she's going to get hurt. She often seems withdrawn to her friends. Mulan is the one that they're never sure about, and yet she's also the most reliable.

Shang is possibly the most serious guy in the entire school. Defying stereotypes of Asians as bad atheletes, he's captain of the hockey team and the wrestling team. He can be extremely haughty at times, but that's only because he knows that he's better than most people. He doesn't tolerate failure from the atheletes in his squads.

Mulan, who always has wanted to be an athelete, decides to join the wrestling team, which accepts anyone who can pick up the flyer. So how will Shang react to the newest member to his exclusive team? Probably not as favorably as one would think that he would, since she's exactly his type of girl...

Aladdin​

Jasmine is possibly the biggest drama queen in the entire school. All the guys lust after her, but she hasn't dated any one of them, since none of them were good enough for her. Her parents, who just want her to be happy, have spoiled her and she gets anything she wants. Among her friends, she is actually really nice to everyone. She's the one to turn to for relationship advice (although most of it is 'Dump his a** if he does it again') and she's always willing to help a friend in need.

Aladdin is a huge slacker and a troublemaker. Though he's good at certain forms of 'art', such as picking locks and faking answers on his homework, he's never really had it going on when it comes to the ladies. He's liked Jasmine for the entirety of their senior year, and he's made sure that she knows it. He can be annoying and he's not really good at much of anything that's useful.

Jasmine despised Aladdin, who was a bit annoying, until a rather scary situation involving some of the more dangerous characters of the city. When three men jump out of the bushes at Jasmine, who was walking home, Aladdin, who was passing by, manages to stop the men and make a run for it with Jasmine. Since the drama queen doesn't know quite how to repay her savior, she agrees to go on a date with him. What she doesn't expect is...

Pocahantus
​

Pocahontas is a very 'zen' girl. Her parents, who are very proud of her almost pure Native American blood, have high standards for her, determined that she should prove that she can be just as good as her white counterparts. She's very connected to nature. She believes in being 'green' to the extreme, hardly even using electric lights for her work (instead, she uses the sunlight and does her homework outside).

John is the ultimate consumerist. He's good friends with both Peter and Gaston, and while he's not as concerned with flirting as his friends, he is perfectly content to want... stuff. He likes new things. A member of the football team, he eats lots of fast food and other wasteful stuff. In general, he's just the opposite of Pocahantus.

When Pocahontas and John are assigned to the same history class, John begins to see himself in a whole new light because of Pocahontas's blatant verbal observations about him and his life during class discussions. So he tries to change himself. But then he asks himself... Why am I changing myself for her? And then he realizes...

Sleeping Beauty​

Not much is known about the personality of Aurora. After all, she's been in a coma since the end of ninth grade. She briefly dated Philip, but then the two decided to just be friends. Everyone misses her greatly, but no one can remember too many details about her.

Philip, in the meantime, had gotten an internship as a doctor over the summer just before his senior year. A nice guy in general, he was greatly saddened by the fact that Aurora was in the hospital in a coma. He wants to become a doctor as an adult, but it was pure chance that he chose to take his internship at the same hospital that Aurora was being kept at.

In the July before senior year, Aurora began to show signs of waking up. During that month, she had brief periods of time in which she was fully conscious but unable to move. The only thing she remembered once she had woken up was Philip's face, as he had been assigned to the intensive care unit. Once she had woken up, she had missed two years of school and would have to take three years' worth of classes (easy ones) at the same time. So Philip, who happens to be an extremely smart guy, was assigned to help her complete her now massive workload.

Hercules​

Megan is the sophistocated one of the group. Upper class, well-to-do parents... she's not exactly spoiled, but she has her standards.

Jason, a member of the football team and wrestling squad, is known school-wide for his superior strength as "Hercules". However, his sole reason for gaining such a title (and here's the twist) is to impress Ariel and Kayla, both of whom he thinks are adorable. He's friends with the group of guys (Peter, John, and Gaston) but he doesn't approve of their attitude toward girls in general.

For the first time ever, Jason doesn't make the varsity football team, having had a bad day on the day of tryouts. Embarrassed and hurt, he decides to prove himself in a different way: the dating world. After being turned down by Ariel, Belle, Kayla, and Ellen, all of whom don't really know him, he decides to try getting to know a girl better - Megan. But once he does, he finds it difficult to go back to his newly discovered dating habits...

Kayla White


Role: Snow White
Age: 17
Sex: Female
Theme song: Simple and Clean
Appearance: Hair black as ebony; Lips red as roses; Skin as white as snow.

Kayla's beauty lies in her subtle charm, grace, and her classic style. She appears mysterious and magnetic; almost as if she is from a different time. Her skin is fair and soft, and her eyes resonate with innocence.

Personality
Likes: cleaning ♥ fresh smells ♥ flowers ♥ helping ♥ singing ♥ animals ♥ white ♥ good manners
Dislikes: loud noises ✗ rude people ✗ disorder ✗ dirt ✗ apples ✗ red ✗ creepy old ladies
Fears: germs ● pollution ● witchcraft ● people in cloaks ● guns ● dust ● blasphemy ● failure ● blood
Secrets: She has dabbled in the occult
Personality: Kayla is pure, kind hearted, and sweet as honey. She comes off as innocent and childish because of her sparkly charm and rosy view of the world. Though she can be persuasive, friendly, and social, she often does not connect with people so well, mainly because of her past. More often, she prefers substituting people for the many small animals which she tends to, or with burying herself in chores and cleaning. She is a bit on the nervous side, and typically cannot be fully content until she feels she has done everything to fix up her surroundings; her environment is very important to her. She tends to be a bit of a perfectionist, and thus sometimes may offer advice and criticism in places where it is not welcome. Kayla's biggest flaw is her superficial view of the world, which leads her towards being naive and some may label her as being dumb, ditzy, or airheaded. Her other main flaw is a paralyzing lack of self esteem; her tendency to criticize herself and everything she does usually results in becoming self destructive.
Skills: Cooking, cleaning, playing innocent, getting others to do work for her, serving others, playing the victim, being modest, sighting the obvious flaws in a person or situation and stating them, charisma
Hobbies: Believe it or not, Kayla's favorite hobby is doing laundry. She prefers doing the entire process by hand, following her own self-invented system, but if she is in a rush she will use the washer and drier. She always properly irons her clothing or the clothing she tends to for others, and properly perfumes them with her homemade balms. Which leads us to her second hobby, perfume-brewing. Having a strong knowledge of nature, Kayla uses essential oils, flowers, and herbs to create beautifully smelling scents. She also loves to weave, clean, cook, sew, and repair anything that may appear broken.

History
Family: Kayla's mother and father died when she was very little, and she was left in the care of her stepmother who raised her. Some may argue that her stepmother is evil or conniving, but Kayla defends her strongly, stating that she is merely "misunderstood". She is very grateful for her stepmother's advice, financial support, and for ultimately raising her.
Bio: She used to live with her wealthy stepmother in a large mansion in Massachusetts. Her stepmother began strongly suggesting that Kayla be sent away to a school to "teach her how to be a proper young lady" once she began maturing into a beautiful young woman around the age of 12. At 14, her stepmother got her wish, sending Kayla to New York. She was kind enough to supply Kayla with sufficient funding to live in a rather wealthy two bedroom townhouse. Though her stepmother takes care of all of Kayla's living expenses, she insinuates that this gives her ultimate power over the decisions that Kayla makes, and in the end calls most of the shots of what Kayla does.
Beliefs: Kayla strongly believes in the good in people; she simply cannot see the bad. The way she views life is that there are things to be admire everywhere you turn; you just have to look hard enough to find it. Or, at least that is her advice to others. For herself, she has absolutely no trouble seeing the beauty in people or in nature. She is a bit blinded in a sense, for she cannot see the bad in people, and is completely unaware of any negative intentions that others may have toward her - and she does have a knack for garnering enemies through jealously or resentment. Kayla also believes strongly in the preservation of nature and animals, sometimes attending rallies to fight for animal rights or landmark preservation.
Goals: Kayla wants to do what is best for her, but at the same time, she wants to make her stepmother happy. She feels as though she has never been able to please her, which has garnered an inferiority complex deep within Kayla's psyche. She would protest this when called out on it, however, insinuating that she is perfectly confident in everything she does, when it is quite obvious she is not. Kayla longs to find herself, her true love, and her pride.

衩駗閌廷Shang Li衩駗閌廷​

​

Role: Li Shang
Age: 18
Sex: Male
Theme Song:Jumper
Appearance: Handsome, strong, and shining with subtle charm, Shang is a bit different from your typical prince charming. Though he is attractive, he remains humble and serious, which shows in the way he carries himself. He has an earthy appearance with medium length black hair, with signature Asian straightness. He has eyes the color of soil and light tan skin. He prefers wearing preppy style clothing, or clothing that is easy to work out or play sports in.

Personality
Likes: sports ♥ nice clothing ♥ earth tones ♥ working out ♥ money ♥ bettering himself ♥ healthy food ♥ movies
Dislikes: people who don't take care of themselves ✗ confrontation ✗ doing nothing ✗ being ignored ✗ people he can't take seriously ✗ cheap stuff ✗ disobedience
Fears: not being the best ● poverty ● being unhealthy ● being weak ● losing ● losing control ● heretics ● failure ● being called dumb
Secrets: Shang secretly has a crippling lack of self esteem
Personality: Shang is confident and direct in his ways, and he longs to be taken seriously by everybody he meets. He is indeed quite serious, often to the point of being misunderstood. He has a sense of humor, but it is more subtle and offbeat, and not everybody understands his jokes or his quirky ways. He loves to work out and be fit, and is very involved in school sports. He carries himself with dignity and respect, and usually insists on being in charge. He does have a liking for control, and he usually makes a good leader. He has a problem with people who are less serious than himself, and can harbor resentment towards those who get more attention for being "funny". Some may think he is snobby or egotistical, but he in fact has secret fears of not being good enough or not being taken seriously.
Skills: Training, swimming, snowboarding, martial arts, basketball, baseball, football, kickball, running, organizing, running committees, working, weightlifting
Hobbies: Most of Shang's hobbies consist of either sports, training, or volunteer work. When he isn't training, he is typically working or finding other ways to make money. In the sparse amounts of leisure time he has, he likes to come up with diet plans for himself.

History
Family: Shang lives with his mom after his father died in war. His father was a military general. He has no siblings.
Bio: Shang lived with his mom and dad in China up until the age of 9. His father was a renowned military general who died in battle, leaving him and his mother in poverty. Without much money to their name, they managed to escape to America, where they started building their lives back up through hard work. Shang worked to help support his mother, who got a job as an architect. Nowadays, they are pretty wealthy and live in a large house in upstate New York, where Shang attends school at the academy. The poor era of his life has ingrained a fear of poverty in Shang, who up to this day still works relentlessly and has become rather obsessed with money and material possessions.
Beliefs: He is strongly religious. He didn't have much religion growing up back in China. When him and his mom came to America they got baptized as Catholics and are now strongly religious. Shang holds much faith in his beliefs and tends to get offended or put off at those without strong faith or those who are anti-semitic.
Goals: Lots of money, wealth, fancy stuff, and to be fit and healthy.​
