This is a chapter based off my Pinterest board of the same name. If you want to see the aesthetics I have for each of these characters, feel free to check it out! It was inspired by a board created by starryeyedturtle of the same name, so full credit goes to Imogen!
I have already done an OC graveyard tag chapter, but I wanted to make one based off of the OCs I have floating around in my brain who may or may not see the light eventually. They are from stories that haven't been entirely shelved or may not even have a story plot yet at all. They're just there, waiting to be fleshed out more.
The Pinterest board allows me to make visual aesthetics but it can be difficult to include aspects that tell the characters' stories. I decided to introduce you guys to these OCs properly and tell you more about them!
Some of these characters are from my old plot shop. I kept them around in case I want to write the stories one day. If the characters seem familiar, that's why!
AYLA WESTON
Faceclaim: Vanessa Morgan
Book: Knife to Meet You
Fandom: Marvel
Love Interest: Bucky Barnes
Ship name: Buckayla
Species: Human (with powers)
Timeline: Pre Captain America: Civil War — The Falcon and the Winter Soldier
about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
All Ayla Weston had wanted to do was study abroad in Romania. Instead, she'd ended up studying abroad in Romania with one of the world's most notorious criminals as her neighbor.
Bucky Barnes had moved into the tiny apartment complex in early 2015, just two months after Ayla's arrival. At first, she'd been wary of her creepy neighbor. He always wore baseball caps to cover his face, long sleeves, and even gloves, but only on one hand. When she'd attempt to greet him in the hall, he'd merely ignore her or mutely nod. Ayla was never one to pry, so she'd left him alone until his glove slipped off one winter morning and she'd caught a glimpse of a metal hand.
After that, Ayla had said Screw being nosy and had done her research. It didn't take her long to read about The Winter Soldier— a man out of time, appearing over the decades to quietly hunt and assassinate people. The masked figure in the pictures didn't seem to contain the same energy as the man next door. Now, he just seems... lost.
Determined to discover more about him, Ayla starts going out of her way to be nice to him. She bakes cookies and leaves some near his door. She holds doors open for him every time the opportunity arises, greeting him with a smile and a wave. Over time, she can see his tense shoulders relax a fraction around her, and it seems that she's making progress. He even begins speaking to her — mostly a clipped "Hi," or "Your shoelace is untied," but she counts it as a win all the same.
Then, one average morning, something goes horribly wrong.
Ayla hears a crash from her apartment and sprints to the hallway, noticing an abundance of armed men breaking into her neighbor's apartment. A familiar blue and white shield flies past her. The one and only Steve Rogers follows after it, immediately covering her with his own body, yelling for her to get back inside her apartment so she doesn't get hurt.
The thing is, she isn't as helpless as she seems. Ayla takes out two of the many knives she constantly carries on her and throws them into the faces of two men with terrifying precision. With powers to control anything she throws, she's able to fling blade after blade at the countless invaders, retrieving them as they go down and managing to stop their bullets in mid-air before they can penetrate her skin.
Forced to leave her apartment now that the people see her as a target, Ayla joins her neighbor and Steve Rogers because she doesn't have much of a choice when they're all arrested. Her neighbor is named Bucky Barnes, and apparently he'd killed the King of Wakanda several days prior, which is impossible because Ayla had seen him returning from buying groceries that day. But nobody wants to take her word for it— she's just a random person among Avengers.
As she and Steve fight to protect Bucky from the law, Ayla sees sides of the former Winter Soldier that she'd never seen before. She witnesses him become brainwashed and nearly kill her. She sees him fight like he's done it every day of his life. But she also remembers the note he'd written to her in thanks for the cookies she'd baked, how much he wanted to keep to himself, and the notebooks he'd taken everywhere.
There is more to Bucky Barnes than The Winter Soldier. She's willing to bet her life on that.
about ayla
Ayla's powers were based off of Diego Hargreeves's abilities in The Umbrella Academy! I think his ability to manipulate trajectory is just so cool and I wanted to use it in a fic so badly. Now, I might use it in one of my current Marvel fics.... so.... do with that information what you will >:)
Ayla is studying architecture in Romania in an attempt to get away from her crazy, super-powered family, only to gain the literal Winter Soldier as her next door neighbor. Though she doesn't realize who he is at first because it's not like the entire world knows about him yet. He's just some weird, quiet guy who always wears gloves.
I'm ALLLL about fanfics that show complete trust in the romantic relationship, so Ayla would feel like she's getting somewhere when it comes to getting to know her mysterious neighbor, only for him to be revealed as a 100 year old assassin and she's like :O So then they have to rebuild trust and there might even be some enemies to lovers ??? Because Ayla is pushy with her kindness and Bucky is a grumpy old man. It would take a while for him to realize he's worthy of the effort she puts in getting to know him. ~*Growth*~
ELIAS ARGAEZ
Faceclaim: Tyler Posey
Book: Darkness Falls
Fandom: Shadowhunters
Love Interest: Isabelle Lightwood
Ship name: Izlias/Elizzy
Species: Warlock
Timeline: Seasons 1 — 3
about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
Elias Argaez may be over a century old, but that's still relatively young for a warlock, and he has a lot to learn. He sometimes has difficulty casting exaggerated glamours or concealing his mark — two pairs of razor-sharp incisors — under times of great distress. There are occasions where he accidentally mixes up time periods because he forgets that 1980 was already almost forty years ago and not ten. One thing he's not a stranger to, however, is the blatant discrimination against Downworlders by the angel-blooded race known as the Shadowhunters.
For a hundred and twenty-five years, Elias has endured laws that unfairly restrict his and his fellow demon-blooded comrades' activities while Shadowhunters are mainly welcome to roam free. They act as if they're superior— as if the Downworlders' blood makes them inherently evil, no matter how nice they are.
And Elias is nice. His mentor, Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, would tell him he's too kind for his own good. It has cost him in the past. People have used his optimism and belief in the goodness of others to blindside and trick him, but he refuses to lose that view of the world. Because what good would it do to live his immortal life believing everyone is bad all the time?
But there is one Shadowhunters who's an exception. Valentine Morgenstern wants to purge the world of Downworlders, upholding the belief that those with angel-blood deserve to reign supreme. His followers, called Circle members, have been dormant for years. But now they're starting to resurface again.
The result? Magnus being dragged into the Shadowhunters' messes and Elias being taken along for the ride as well. That's how they meet the Lightwoods. And while Magnus immediately takes interest in the oldest, brooding sibling, Elias eventually finds himself wanting to spend more time with Isabelle— the fierce-spirited middle child.
Throughout their adventures fighting Valentine, Elias begins to realize that not everyone is inherently good. There's lightness in people's souls, but also darkness, and some have much more than others.
about elias
Elias 🤝 Ilyas 🤝 having the same name
Fun fact, the gif I used literally inspired this plot. For those of you who aren't familiar with the universe, Warlocks appear relatively human except they have a distinct "mark" that they can hide with glamour. For Magnus, it's oval-shaped pupils, like a cat's eye. For Ilyas, it's fangs and red eyes. I saw the gif and was like "omg what if he was a warlock and had that as his mark—" and boom. Elias was born from my mind like children of Athena.
The most important person in Elias's life is Magnus — he's not only his mentor and the person he has to answer to, but he's also his closest friend. Much like he did with Raphael, Magnus took Elias under his wing and trained him to strengthen his magic. Elias spent most of his early years in Latin America as a nomad, so he didn't get to learn much.
He's a sweet lil boy (I say about a centuries-old son of a demon) who works as a waiter and barista at a coffee shop to pay dem bills. He'd probably try to impress Isabelle with intricate latte art.
This relationship means EVERYTHING to me because the Lightwood siblings both falling for warlocks???? I love it. Elias and Izzy both being Mexican and having cute Spanish nicknames for each other ???? I LOVE IT.
This story would also open up deeper conversations about the racism within the Shadow World seeing as Downworlders already face enough injustice and discrimination from the Shadowhunters as it is, but it would be inherently worse since Elias is a man of color like Luke, Raphael, and Magnus. I feel like Tyler Posey was white-washed a lot in Teen Wolf so consider this my point to bring up his Mexican heritage and make it a central part of Elias's character.
JOSEPHINE "JO" WHITWORTH
Faceclaim: Brittany O'Grady
Book: Heartless
Fandom: Marvel
Love Interest: Peter Parker
Ship name: Jeter
Species: Mutant
Timeline: Pre Spider-Man: Homecoming — Spider-Man: No Way Home
about the story:
Some might call it a curse. When you have powers like the Whitworth bloodline, you might loathe what lurks in your veins and try your very best not to use it, knowing that abusing it can come at the cost of your morality.
Too bad Josephine and Ronan don't think of it that way. If they had, then maybe some people might still be alive today. Maybe the bodega at the end of the block wouldn't be short a few hundred dollars without a clue as to why. And maybe Peter Parker wouldn't have gotten himself roped into this mess due to his belief that everyone deserves a second chance.
Jo and Ronan are partners in crime— both literally and figuratively. With powers that match, it seemed inevitable that they would team up one day. Jo's ability to control organs comes in handy when they need to make someone faint and steal their wallet. Ronan manipulates emotions to keep them calm and collected during heists. For several years, they help their family out this way undisturbed.
Because it isn't fair. It isn't fair that their family lives in a tiny, run-down apartment in Manhattan and is surrounded by other struggling people. It isn't fair that most of Ronan's friends will be attending some expensive college next year while he's stuck at home because they can't afford it. And it certainly isn't fair that they pass wealthy people every day who wouldn't lift a finger to help those in need, preferring to live in grandeur while others struggle to make ends meet. So the siblings started to steal their money.
For our family, they'd said, rifling through the bills.
And that's been their justification ever since. Things run smoothly until Spider-Man catches them in the middle of a theft, causing Jo to drop his pulse and knock him out so they can escape. But then he just won't leave them alone, showing up at random places and interrupting their work with grand speeches about how he knows they're good people and don't want to be doing this. He makes it his life's mission to help them.
The Whitworth siblings don't play well with others. They don't need help. But the arachnid idiot won't leave them alone, and with the threat of a prison sentence hanging over their heads, Jo decides she'll at least pretend to listen to him.
about josephine:
*Rubs hands together* ENEMIES TO LOVERS!!!!!!!!!
Jo's powers are based off of Heartrenders from Shadow and Bone! Some of them can also manipulate the dead, which would be an interesting development for her powers later on, but in the beginning, it's just organs.
If she had an alias, I think it would be Heartstopper ???
This fic is like..... the polar opposite of Havoc and it would be so fun to write if I ever get to it. Josephine is not a good person at the beginning, and neither is her brother Ronan (who I will touch more on later in his own section), but through character development, they become anti-heroes.
I don't think Jo could ever truly become a hero like Peter because things don't really get better for her and her family. The problems that sent her down that path don't go away. But she would stop with the petty crime and maybe decide that it's okay to kill a man a little bit.
Importantly, Jo does not attend the same high school as Peter. She goes to a public school in Manhattan that's kinda close to Midtown Tech. I think the aspect of OCs living in Queens and going to Midtown is a bit overdone now, so I wanted to try something different.
Essentially Peter sees the Whitworth siblings and goes "I can fix them <3"
JULIAN "JP" PORTER
Faceclaim: Ryan Potter
Book: Toward Eternity
Fandom: Teen Wolf
Love Interest: Lydia Martin
Ship name: Lylian
Species: Grim Reaper
Timeline: Seasons 3B — 6B
about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
It was the trip to Washington state that started it all. As Julian's father was driving him and his three siblings to visit his family near the mountains for the holidays, a snow storm hit. His oldest brother begged them to pull over until the storm calmed down. Their father insisted that everything was fine.
Fifteen minutes later, Julian's father, oldest brother, and youngest sister were dead.
Julian, aged ten, was too young to understand that the shimmery outlines of his family that he saw were their souls. He was too young to do anything but hug his only remaining sibling, his seven-year-old sister, as they both waited for help to arrive. He was too young to understand that he was supposed to bring them to the afterlife, and since he didn't, their souls have remained restless ever since.
Souls continued to haunt him until he realized that he was supposed to bring them to that shiny light he noticed when they appeared. After more research, he was able to determine that he was some sort of Grim Reaper.
Watching half of his family die and seeing so many souls has made him increasingly paranoid and cautious over the years. Ever since the accident, Julian has been terrified of death. He will never take a risk without considering every possibility and determining if it's safe enough.
Since Stiles Stilinski has been suspicious of him from the start, his dislike of risks starts to become a bigger problem. Death and destruction seem to follow Scott McCall and his friends wherever they go – and JP should know, since it was his job to escort Peter Hale's soul to the afterlife in February, along with Erica Reyes and Vernon Boyd IV, his own classmates.
But there's one person in his friend group who knows what it's like to deal with death: Lydia Martin, a recently-turned Banshee, who feels when a person is about to die. Julian has never been able to talk with anyone about what he sees. However, Lydia is a different story. Plagued with powers they don't fully understand, they bond over the one thing that follows them everywhere – death.
about julian
Give this boy a hug and therapy.
This would be another instance of me writing a Jewish character in the TW universe because Ryan Potter is Jewish by ethnicity and follows the faith. So that would be incorporated into Julian's daily life!
The plot is based off of Emily Dickinson's poem "Because I Could Not Stop for Death", most namely, these stanzas:
"Because I could not stop for Death —
He kindly stopped for me —
The Carriage held but just Ourselves —
And Immortality.
[...]
Since then – 'tis Centuries – and yet
Feels shorter than the Day
I first surmised the Horses' Heads
Were toward Eternity –"
JP himself does not decide whether souls are damned or not. He only transports them to the afterlife. If he tries to ignore the souls, they will become restless and bother him from time to time. The souls of his father, older brother, and youngest sister have been so-called "haunting" him since the accident because a) he didn't realize he was supposed to put them to rest, and b) now he doesn't want to let them go. This would be a big part of his characterization (learning to let go).
Julian is either visited by these souls during the daytime or through his dreams. They're kind of like what you would imagine a ghost to look like – colorless, pretty see-through, and they can move through stuff. Only he can see & hear them. I may change it so he actually visits the site of death through spiritual teleportation, but that would be a lot of work considering how many people die in Beacon Hills, and homeboy has ... like ... a life.
JP is really cautious and taught himself minor medical knowledge in case any of his other family members (mother, younger sister, and stepfather) get hurt. He is not a doctor, but he eventually wants to be.
Due to his role in the supernatural world, he does end up escorting Allison & Aiden's souls to the afterlife </3
I feel so bad for Lydia in season 3 because she has absolutely no idea what's going on, which is why I wanted to make Julian her love interest! Death buddies :)
KILLIAN MONTARAC
Faceclaim: Desire Mia
Book: Over Again
Fandom: Shadow and Bone (Netflix)
Love Interest: Jesper Fahey
Ship name: Kesper/Jespian
Species: Human
Timeline: Season 1 —
about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
It's almost too easy to be a criminal in Ketterdam.
In a country swarming with bribes, theft, lies, and deceit, it's rare to find someone who hasn't broken the law in some way. A life there means constantly looking over your shoulder for the next threat. There's hardly anyone you can trust because they're always searching for the easiest way to take advantage of you.
Well, that wasn't always the case for Killian Montarac. There used to be one person he could trust— Lila Barinov, a fellow runaway from the West Ketterdam Orphanage, and also his best friend. The filthy place had been stuffed with so many orphans that nobody noticed they were gone until a year later. And even then, nobody cared.
Living on the streets meant having to swindle in order to get by. Lila and Killian were a dynamic duo, using their looks and ability to sweet-talk to their advantage. Nobody would suspect wrongdoings from a beautiful girl like Lila and her innocent, go-lucky friend with a handsome face. But that's exactly what they had planned.
However, things came to a grinding halt when Lila was tracked down and killed for cheating out an innkeeper on his money. It was the one day Killian wasn't by her side because he was scoping out their next target in the Barrel. He'd found her days later, dumped with the rest of the inn's rubbish, and vowed to never be so stupid again.
Three-hundred and sixty-five days after finding Lila, Killian has kept to his promise. He's taken up a job as a bartender — never mind he's only sixteen, nobody cares when he can make some of the best drinks in the Barrel — and keeps to himself. A life without his best friend has made him quiet, closed-off, and, okay, miserable.
Kaz Brekker is in need of a conman. He has Jesper, but his distractions usually end up involving explosives or his revolvers, so he wants someone who can discreetly but swiftly charm anyone into doing their bidding. He's heard of the Orphans — they'd had the guts to steal from the Crow Club once — but nobody has seen them in a year. Still, he knows that they're out there somewhere, so he sends Inej to track them down.
And so he finds Killian.
Killian insists he doesn't do that anymore. He shuts Kaz's offer to join the Dregs with a firm No, then an even firmer Get away from this bar or I'll snap your cane in half and stab you in the eye with it, until Kaz promises money. Funds that could turn Killian's life around, get him out of the shitty bar and away from the Barrel. Killian knows an empty promise when he sees one, but he agrees, if only because of the bit of hope in his chest. He'd do anything to get out of the Barrel. Everywhere he turns, he still sees Lila.
Killian is barely a part of the Crows for four months before Kaz stumbles across a mission that will earn them one million kruge. A million — even split four ways — can easily get him a place somewhere on the other side of Kerch. So he agrees to join the journey even if it's impossible. They'll succeed or they'll die. Either way, Killian will finally be set free.
And then there's the matter of Jesper Fahey, who seems absolutely hell-bent on getting Killian to lighten up. His constant jokes and teasing have gotten more constant since Killian's initiation into the Crows. Sometimes his crass behavior is enough to make Killian smile, but barely. He isn't sure he knows how to do that anymore.
But if there's one thing that's certain, it's that Killian likes being around Jesper. He's annoying as hell but smart and quick to stick to his guns— literally. And whenever Killian finally gains enough money to get himself out of his wretched life, he's sure he'll miss him the most.
about killian
This poor, tortured soul, and he's only sixteen. He used to be a bit happier, witty, and outgoing, but the loss of Lila took an extreme toll on his mental health, so he basically did a 180 and is now quiet, broody, and angry. Not even frequent visitors of the bar he works at know much about him. He goes by a fake name— Damon Avery, so when Kaz calls him by his real name, he's shook.
Killian's strengths involve sleight of hand, deceit, acting, and making very good alcoholic beverages. He's a scrappy and dirty fighter because he learned in the orphanage where he grew up and then on the streets, but I'm sure Kaz would have him begin training with some kind of weapon. And if Jesper taught him to shoot???? Bye. Jesper would definitely be all flirty and Killian would just be like 🤨 but also internally blushing.
Jesper and Killian being parents to Milo the goat would also be absolutely hilarious LMFAOO like Jesper just screaming while hugging Milo and Killian is "😐 Can't believe I'm gonna die sitting next to a goat."

<<<<33333 my ANGEL
Watching Avatar: The Last Airbender has gotten me all pumped about the aspect of water manipulation. I think it's a severely underused power cuz like.... water is in practically everything. Sweat. Humans are 70% water. It's everywhere.
Mirza would be able to control all aspects of water, both fresh and salt, though salt might be a little more difficult depending on what she's trying to do with it because of the additional weight. She could also sense when people are in water she's placed somewhere. So if she litters the street with puddles, she could sense whenever someone stepped in them. Good luck sneaking up on her.
Mirza gives me golden retriever vibes but also someone who is very confident in her abilities. Like she KNOWS she is powerful and God help anyone who tries to undermine her. She's a sweetie who's very friendly but get on her bad side and expect to find sewer water coming out of your shower :)
I'm honestly not sure about Bucky being her love interest but I couldn't see her with anyone else. Maybe Pietro if he lived. Cuz Charithra is YOUNG so I'd want to pair her with someone younger. Honestly her and Nat would be a serve too. Black cat gf and golden retriever gf vibes.

NIKOLAI ASHROSE
Faceclaim: Daniel Sharman
Book: Moonlight
Fandom: Shadowhunters
Love Interest: Maia Roberts
Ship name: Nikolaia
Species: Werewolf
Timeline: Seasons 2 — 3
about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
Nikolai Ashrose was once a Shadowhunter, as if his last name itself didn't reveal that already. The thing is, he doesn't remember being a Shadowhunter. Probably because he was turned at a young age and left for dead on the outskirts of Queens.
Nikolai doesn't know who turned him. All he knows is that he was ripped from his family, bitten by a wolf, and bled on the streets one night until a tall man who called himself Luke Garroway came and picked him up. He took him back to the Jade Wolf, cared for his wounds, and then told him that his life would never be the same because he would become a werewolf.
He had sworn he'd find the person who turned him and make them pay. What he didn't expect was to bond so well with Maia Roberts, another member of his pack, about the bones they have to pick with those who made them werewolves.
And with Valentine Morgenstern making their lives a living hell, Niko's plate suddenly gets very full.
about nikolai
Shoutout to Nikolai Lantsov, this OC's namesake and the love of my life <3
This fic would deal heavily with found family and I am a slut for that trope. Nikolai was kidnapped, bitten by a werewolf, and left for dead when he was 6, so he would've perished if it hadn't been for Luke finding him and bringing him into his pack. They have a father/son relationship and, by extension, Nikolai is close with Clary as well.
I loved Simon and Maia in the show, but I think it would be good for Maia to have someone who could empathize with being turned unwillingly to be with. She would probably hate Nikolai at first because they're both sarcastic and have clashing personalities. But then they'd bond and catch feelings.
RONAN WHITWORTH
Faceclaim: Reese King
Book: Heartless
Fandom: Marvel
Love Interest: N/A
Species: Mutant
Timeline: Pre Spider-Man: Homecoming — Spider-Man: No Way Home
about ronan:
Ronan could manipulate the heck out of me and I would honestly thank him for his service.
As I mentioned in his sister's section, Ronan has the ability to manipulate other people's emotions — both positive and negative — by manipulating the chemicals and hormones in their bodies. He's used it to make people trust him and get to the top of his class in school. All of his teachers love him and are more likely to let things slide when it comes to mishaps because he's such a good student. He charmed his way into several clubs. People are none the wiser, allowing him to continue his work.
Ronan doesn't necessarily use his powers for nefarious purposes (aka he doesn't use them just for the hell of it) but rather he uses them enough to get himself ahead. His goal is to get into a good university with all of his glowing letters of recommendation, extracurriculars, and stellar grades. Sometimes he can get carried away, but he doesn't torment people with sensations of fear and sadness randomly.
^Not that he's a good person, I'm just saying that he uses his abilities for personal gain. He won't be like "Hmm I'm bored time to go make people sad for fun" or something.
When it comes to pulling off crimes with Jo, he charms people into trusting them or keeps them calm while she knocks them unconscious by restricting blood flow to their brains. In a way, their powers kinda play off one another because Ronan can keep people emotionally calm while Jo steadies their heartbeat, further strengthening the effects of their abilities. Jo and Ro: the criminal duo I'm ironically rooting for.
I forgot to mention this sooner, but they mostly take from the rich, not your average citizen, because they don't want to make people's lives worse off than they already are since they empathize with struggling people.
Also their parents are played by Isaiah Mustafa and Rachel Weisz, who I would like to be MY parents, please and thank you.
TATUM "TATE" BRADDOCK
Faceclaim: Sydney Park
Book: For the Thrill of It
Fandom: Uncharted (Film)
Love Interest: Nathan Drake
Ship name: Tathan
Species: Human
about the story:
They say that family is everything. All throughout history, people have written accounts of the importance of it— blood is thicker than water, and all that shit.
Tatum Braddock gave up on the idea of family when her sister tried to kill her.
She'd learned a long time ago that greed can turn the prettiest of faces into ugly sneers, warped by materialism and the toxic draw of accumulating more. More power. More money. More possessions to flash around at the world and prove that you're above everybody else. Once Tate's sister Jo had gotten a taste of that intoxicating desire, nothing could stand in her way of climbing to the top, grinding her heels into the eyes of anyone who stood in her way.
And Tatum had. Years prior, when she was foolish enough to think that the sister she'd once loved was still inside of her body, she'd begged her not to slit the throat of the man guarding a safe filled with precious jewelry. Tears had spilled down her face. Her words had been gibberish, muddled by the gut-wrenching agony of Jo's emotionless face. Please, please don't go down this path. You'll never come back from it. And Jo had looked Tate in the eyes while she'd sliced the man's larynx and shot her when she'd tried to call for help.
Now Tate doesn't do family. She follows her sister wherever she goes, unbeknownst to her, tracking every movement and scheme. She'd seen when Victor Sullivan had crushed Jo's heart and betrayed her. A part of her had even gloated over it, but at the same time, another part was distraught. Her sister hadn't blinked before firing a bullet into Tate's abdomen, but had shed tears over some man.
Now Jo is after Ferdinand Magellan's lost gold. Tate isn't interested in becoming rich or achieving fame for finding it first— all she wants to do is find it before her sister.
And maybe watch her burn along the way.
about tatum:
Tatum Braddock is the definition of feminine rage and I love that for her <3
She is VERY much driven by her desire for revenge. Everything about her — her thirst for knowledge, taking martial arts classes, learning to shoot — is centered around finding her sister and making her pay. So much of her identity involves this that she isn't sure who she is without the ever-present anger burning in her chest. She can't remember a time when she didn't feel it.
I write a lot about loving sibling bonds, but this is the opposite. Jo and Tate loathe each other. There is no love there. Well, Tate used to love Jo, and that's perhaps the worst part — that she'd thought her sister had loved her back, only to be betrayed in the worst possible way.
Tate is driven by her anger, but she's also a very fun-loving, adventurous, outgoing person. The people in her life don't know about her sibling rivalry and just assume she's a know-it-all who is scary good at axe throwing. I am obsessed with her.

about the story:
*This is a story from my old plot shop!
Thea Larson is very good at being bad. That's a good thing when it comes to being an insider to a pack of Alpha wherewolves, which is an eternal powder keg that threatens to finally explode at any moment. Thea has earned her place in the pack through blood, sweat, and death and fully intends on keeping it that way.
When Deucalion catches word of a True Alpha in Beacon Hills, California, he sends twins Aiden and Ethan as well as Thea into the high school undercover. Their job: find members of Scott McCall's pack and cut them off from him. It seems almost too easy.
That is, until she meets Isaac Lahey.
She was delighted at first. A boy with a troubled past makes for a great target because he has so many fresh wounds and gives her countless golden opportunities to strike. However, she soon finds herself intriguied by him, making her task much more difficult.
Thea has to make a choice: break his heart and return back to the pack she'd ripped her soul apart to be in, or find a way to aid the McCall pack without Deucalion finding out.
about thea:
A lot of the OCs in this chapter are villains, lol oops.
Thea may be a human, but there's a reason she's an insider to the Alpha pack— she'd nearly succeeded in taking Deucalion down years ago when she was only thirteen. Instead of ending her life, Deucalion decided to put her skills to good use. Thea grew stronger and skilled in a variety of weapons and fighting styles. The other Alphas may not have liked having a human in their pack, but after Deucalion reminded them that Thea could kill them with a wink of her eye, they begrudgingly accepted her.
She has spent her entire life fighting to survive, never knowing kindness or love after being abandoned by her family when she was young. Thea honestly has no idea that she's starved for affection until the McCall pack is nice to her and she's dumbfounded. Then she has an identity crisis.
Like Jo and Ronan, I don't think she would turn 100% "good" by the end of season 3. She would struggle a lot with her instincts and unlearning her own toxic behaviors.

about wren:
Homegirl has geokinesis abilities, aka earth manipulation, along with control over plants, and I think that is just so iconic of her.
Wren is a loner amongst a school of outcasts. She doesn't talk much, preferring to keep to herself and her plants. She can be found spending hours in Nevermore's greenhouse or exploring the wilderness on campus. Her abilities grant her immunity from toxic and poison plants, allowing her to walk through poison ivy without a care.
I originally didn't want her to have a love interest because I didn't think anyone would fit, but then I considered putting her with Xavier. I think he's so much more interesting when you separate his infatuation with Wednesday and make their dynamic platonic. It would allow him to grow on his own without being an annoying little bitch in episode 4 lmfao.
Also they're both broody and I think Xavier's stupid teasing nature would get Wren to open up. She'd be mad about it, but would secretly like when he pushes her buttons. Even if they did end up together, it certainly wouldn't be in season 1 because that's too short of a time frame for me. Y'all know me and my slow burns.
Also shoutout to anyone who noticed that Wednesday and Wren both have the same initials. Wrenesday would be the best brotp because they would do nothing but sit in silence together and love it.
WHEW. I am so sorry that was so long. It was 6k words but I think it's mostly because some of the story descriptions were so long (I copy and pasted the ones from my plot shop into this chapter). I really enjoyed writing about my budding babies though, and I hope you enjoyed reading about them! Remember to please check out that Pinterest board if you have the chance.
