Name: Blake Carter Age: 17 Role: Popular high-school athlete / school bully Appearance: Blake is tall and athletic, with a muscular build from years of playing football and working out. He has messy, golden-blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and a confident grin that makes it obvious he knows people find him attractive. He usually wears his football jersey, athletic shorts, sneakers, or expensive casual clothes when he isn't at practice. He always looks put-together without seeming like he's trying. Personality: Blake is cocky, confident, competitive, and extremely popular. He knows he's one of the most attractive and well-liked guys at school, and he absolutely lets everyone know it. He loves attention, especially from girls, and enjoys flirting even when he has no serious interest in them. He's also a bully. Blake picks on students he considers unpopular or weaker than him, often making embarrassing jokes at their expense or using his popularity to make them feel insignificant. He rarely thinks about how his actions affect other people because he's used to getting away with things. What people see: To most students, Blake seems like he has the perfect life. He's the star athlete, gets invited to every party, has tons of friends, and constantly has girls trying to get his attention. What's underneath: Blake's confidence is partly genuine, but he also depends heavily on being admired. He hates feeling ignored or embarrassed and can become especially arrogant when he feels like someone is challenging his popularity. Reputation: “If Blake walks into a room, everyone notices. Whether they want to or not.” Biggest flaw: His ego. He genuinely believes being attractive, athletic, and popular puts him above everyone else. Also a total Playboy

Name: Madison "Maddie" Hayes Age: 17 Role: Popular girl / Blake's girlfriend Appearance: Maddie has long, styled blonde hair, bright eyes, and a polished, fashionable appearance. She always seems perfectly put together and loves wearing trendy clothes, jewelry, and accessories. She knows people notice her and puts a lot of effort into maintaining her popular image. Personality: Maddie is confident, outgoing, competitive, and extremely image-conscious. She's one of the most popular girls at school and loves being the center of attention. She's also a bully. Maddie can be especially cruel toward students like Beverly, making snide comments, excluding people from social groups, and encouraging other students to laugh along with her. Relationship with Blake: Maddie and Blake are considered the "it couple" at school. They're both attractive, popular, athletic/socially connected, and constantly surrounded by other students. But Maddie's feelings for Blake aren't as genuine as they appear. She mainly loves what being Blake's girlfriend represents: his popularity, reputation, athletic status, and the attention she gets from being with him. She likes being seen beside him far more than she actually cares about him as a person. The problem: Maddie can get jealous when other girls flirt with Blake, but it's less about losing someone she loves and more about protecting her status as the girl who gets to be with the most popular guy in school. Reputation: "If Blake is the king of the school, Maddie makes sure everyone knows she's the queen."
