Katie Haynes
Emplacement: Hauteurs de Faraday
Interagir avec: Andy, Claire 
Katie s'est jouée à Andy avant de prendre une gorgée de son café. Elle a fait tomber quelques tranches de pain dans le grille-pain alors qu'elle écoutait Claire raconter les nouvelles. Oh mon garçon, un meurtre, et quelque chose à propos de l'Unseelie. Elle avait entendu un peu parler de l'Unseelie Fae, mais pas beaucoup, elle a décidé qu'elle ferait des recherches sur eux plus tard. Autant savoir qui ils étaient, elle s'est demandé si cela avait quelque chose à voir avec le temps inhabituel à l'extérieur, voyant comme comment ils n'ont généralement pas eu autant de neige, mais elle a pensé que ce pourrait être juste un temps bizarre. En tout cas, elle ne voulait pas assumer les choses, surtout pas avec les autres. Trop de gens ont fait trop de supposition à leur sujet.
Elle était si profondément pense qu'elle a sauté quand le toast est sorti du grille-pain. Elle a plié les morceaux de toast sur deux assiettes avant de mettre une autre tranche de pain dans le grille-pain. Elle a pris le silence de Claire sur la question pour signifier qu'elle voulait porter un toast. Elle s'est demandé s'il y avait quelque chose qu'elle avait besoin du magasin pour un moment.
"Je ne pense pas avoir besoin de quoi que ce soit, mais merci quand même!" Katie sourit avec gratitude alors qu'elle prenait le dernier toast du grille-pain et le mettait sur la dernière assiette avant de gâcher environ la moitié de son café, elle buvait des choses qu'elle aimait rapidement de toute façon, et il s'était finalement refroidi assez pour qu'elle puisse le faire.
« Espérons que les gens arriveront bientôt à leur sens. Ce n'est pas comme si d'autres étaient autour n'importe quoi de nouveau, seulement notre connaissance en est." Elle a ajouté en s'asseyant et a commencé à beurrer un morceau de toast.


Talia Halbrook
Lieu: Près du fève précoce
Interagir avec: Personne pour l'instant.
Ça allait être une longue journée. Malgré le temps, certains clients de Talia voulaient encore se rencontrer pour passer au prix du logement, et elle ne pouvait pas refuser puisqu'elle avait ces rendez-vous prévus quelques semaines à l'avance. Maudits sont les Fae d'Unseelie! Bon sang, elle ne voulait certainement pas les voir là-bas non plus. Peut-être qu'ils devraient tous aller au ciel et ennuyer les anges plus saints que toi, ça les servirait bien. Un petit sourire a croisé ses lèvres alors qu'elle imaginait des anges et des Fae se disputant sur les questions les plus insignifiantes. Quoi qu'il en soit, pour gérer la météo et ses clients, elle avait besoin d'un café, et peut-être d'un peu de mal.
Le Bean Early était l'endroit idéal pour ça. Il était assez petit là où toute perturbation serait remarquée, mais assez populaire là où tout pouvait arriver. Peut-être qu'elle pourrait commencer une bagarre, ce serait une bonne excuse pour se retirer d'un ou deux de ses quatre rendez-vous ce jour-là. Même juste un argument houleux serait agréable à ce stade, ou quelqu'un étant mécontent de leur café, elle était incroyablement ennuyée. Elle n'avait pas été capable de trouver quelque chose de nouveau à faire depuis si longtemps. Dernièrement, elle avait commencé à partager une maison avec quelqu'un, il lui laissait plus d'argent pour faire d'autres choses qu'elle voulait, même si elle avait beaucoup et rien à voir avec elle. Mais ce n'était pas vraiment une aventure passionnante autant qu'elle n'a plus de choses à faire et de décider qu'avoir une colocataire valait la peine d'essayer.
Elle a allumé la radio alors qu'elle s'approchait du Bean précoce. Elle aurait dû être là il y a une bonne quinzaine de minutes, mais le temps n'a pas aidé la circulation, et quelques voitures avaient filé sur le côté de la route. C'était agréable de regarder les visages dérangés de ceux du côté de la route, mais Talia s'ennuyait encore! Alors qu'elle est arrivée dans le parking du café, elle espérait que quelque chose d'intéressant se passerait. Puis elle a saisi son sac à main, est sorti dans le vent amer, a verrouillé sa voiture et s'est dirigée à travers les portes, dans la chaleur et l'odeur des grains de café chauffés.
Katherine Haynes
Human
Basic Information
| Name |
Katherine “Katie” Annalise Haynes
| Date of Birth |
November 13, 1998
| Gender |
Female
| Sexuality |
Bisexual
| Occupation |
Part-time barista at a small coffee shop, The Early Bean. Full-time college student.
| In-Depth Appearance |
Katie is only slightly taller than average, but the way she carries herself makes her seem taller and her presence demands attention. She faces life with her head held high and her shoulders back, seemingly ready for whatever life throws at her. Her voice adds to this effect; it is calm but firm, sweet but knowing.
Her face has a certain maturity to it that is often absent in others her age. She has striking light green eyes which can seem a bit gray or even occasionally blue, depending on the colors she’s wearing. Katie has thick, wavy, brown hair with natural reddish highlights. Her pale skin is covered with light freckles, which give her a sort of ageless look, as if she could be older or younger than what her real age is.
The part of her appearance that she is most proud of, however, is the one part she had the most choice in. Katie has a full-back tattoo of large wings. While this tattoo is generally covered up, it gives her a sense of confidence in some strange way.
Who Am I?
| Personality |
♦ Open-minded ♦ Loyal ♦ Kind ♦ Confident ♦
Katie is the kind of person who likes to speak her mind. She likes to think carefully about what she’s saying and makes an effort to truly listen to others instead of just trying to think of a retort when discussing clashing opinions with others. She does not hide her opinions from anyone, even if she knows that a person who is close to her will likely disagree. However, she will do her best to explain her point in the most inoffensive way possible. It is her opinion that hiding one’s true feelings is unhealthy for both the person doing it and the people they’re hiding from.
She doesn’t have a lot of friends, she prefers to grow close to only a few individuals, but she has acquired quite a few friendly acquaintances. Katie loves to meet new people and is friendly and polite to anyone she meets, as long as they aren’t straight-out assholes. She believes that respect is earned, and anyone who treats other people as less than themselves does not deserve the time of day. Her reaction towards such people is worsened if they treat her friends badly.
Even though she is generally confident in her choices and opinions, she does her best to keep from becoming arrogant. She truly has a desire to learn and will accept that she is wrong when she really is. She loves to debate, but her goal is not to win these debates, but rather to determine what the truth is. She is a straight-A student who pushes herself to go above and beyond the expectations set before her.
The recent discovery of the Others worries Katie, naturally. She has no idea what the extent of their abilities is, but it also excites her. The knowledge that there is so much more out there than she previously thought makes her wonder about the endless possibilities. While she is war of the idea of strange creatures whose abilities are shrouded in myth and legend, she also hopes that humans and Others can learn to co-exist. She realizes that not all of what is said of them can be true, and that they’ve managed to live hidden among humans for centuries, so at least some of them must be somewhat peaceful.
Although most of the time, she is a well put-together individual, Katie is recovering from general anxiety disorder and other issues caused by past trauma. It is not entirely uncommon for her to relapse into this state, causing her to become temporarily terrified of social settings and confrontation. Aside from this, she is also prone to depression and will sometimes go into full hermit-mode; shutting herself in her bedroom for days on end, emerging only to eat. She eventually makes it past these moments, but she will be much more reserved and cautious after such an incident. Sometimes these events are triggered by specific stimuli, but most of the time the reason for her relapses remain unknown.

| History |
Katie was a fairly normal child in her younger years. She had loving parents, and one older sister with whom she was very close. When she was six, her family moved to the United States. While her family took a while to adjust, Katie immediately loved it. She went to school for the first time and made lots of new friends, it was exciting and a new adventure to her. Even as a young child, she loved doing new things and going to new places. However, a few years later, disaster struck.
When she was twelve, Katie and her family were on their way to a play at her school when they were hit by a drunk driver. It drove straight into the driver’s side of the car, instantly killing her father and fatally injuring her sister. Katie and her mother survived with several broken bones between the two of them, her sister died about 3 hours after the crash from severe blood loss.
As soon as they were able to travel, Katie’s mother moved them back to London for the support of their family. The move back was difficult for the young girl. She had spent half of her life in America and didn’t remember the majority of her relatives. She was also depressed because of the death of her father and sister, which made her want to be alone, but she was constantly forced into conversations with concerned aunts, uncles, cousins, and so forth. This made it insanely difficult for her to adjust. She became increasingly antisocial as she was forced to interact with more and more people she didn’t know.
As if things weren’t bad enough, her mother decided to get remarried just a little over a year after the accident. Katie and her stepfather didn’t get along at all, and it wasn’t her fault either. She tried to accept him, even though she still wasn’t over the death of her father, but he was abrasive and arrogant. He constantly criticized her, and made homophobic remarks the first time she brought a girlfriend home with her. He was an all-around asshole, and Katie’s mother just wouldn’t listen to her when she complained. Her mother was blind to his faults, she only saw what she wanted to see and believed what she wanted to believe about him. This further hindered Katie’s grieving process.
She developed all new problems as a result of her stepfather’s emotionally abusive behavior. Eventually it got out of hand enough that her mother took notice and got her into therapy. The therapy helped quite a bit, but the biggest improvement was when she moved out at the age of eighteen and went to live with one of her aunts. She soon moved to Faraday Heights for a shorter commute to college. Since then, she has mostly become the person she wants to be, although she has relapses more often than she would like to admit.
