University of Astoria Students

Freshmen

	Danny Marin Programming Major. Baseball. Quiet but fiercely competitive, Danny stands out most places he goes without meaning to (indeed, it seems to discomfit him). He and Jerome Tate are best friends, roommates in Kayman Hall, and seem to complement one another well, though their friendship is clearly strained by the new distance between them. Though he's a natural athlete, the thing he truly loves is programming - unfortunately, his math and other academic skills aren't nearly the equal of his athletics skills, so he has to work pretty hard at it. His grief over Henry is still pretty raw; despite this, he has chosen to stay part of the wrestling team and rush the ATO this term. • Season One: Kept on the periphery of all the werewolf stuff that has been going on, Danny has clearly been hurt by the distance. He has largely retreated away from his old friendships, compounded by his grief over Henry's death. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, Innis Hall, Athletics Center), ATO House
	Jerome Tate Music Production In the aftermath of the Bonfire Night, Jerome has come out the other side a stronger young man. He is clearly devoted to his girlfriend Renee and has begun to shed some of his bashfulness. Though his social media presence has fallen off, he is still an avid video gamer, and hopes to write music for them one day. He and Danny Marin are best friends, and dorm-mates in Kayman Hall. • Season One: Bitten by Volk at the Bonfire Night and subsequently kidnapped by his pack when he survived the Bite, Jerome found his way back to Astoria, refusing to attack Warner even when Feral. He has since been accepted into the Astoria pack. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, Adler Hall)
	Kerry Donahue The Artist Kerry is a freshman attending the UofA on an art scholarship. Her specialty is wood sculpture, and she scours Astoria's beaches for driftwood and pier debris for materials. She is either a bit full of herself or socially awkward, opinions vary, as most conversations with her tend to be halting and one sided. She attends GSA meetings but hasn't spoken much so far, and the question of her orientation or whether she might not be fully out yet is a subject of gossip among its members. Her job at the Student Center's cafeteria allows her to bring refreshments for the GSA when there is unwanted food in the kitchen. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Student Center, esp the Queer Resource Center, Art Center), her family home in Warrenton.
	Renee McDonnall Anthropology and English (double majored) A timid, picked-on girl who was saved by Henry, Renee has been hit very hard by his death. She and Jerome are a couple, and she has adopted Henry's little grey kitten, R2. She has also begun to blossom as a student, thanks to Dr. Litchfield's personal attention. • Season One: Heavily traumatized by Jerome's attack by a wolf while the two were making out on Bonfire Night, Renee has learned about the existence of werewolves, and continued her association with them, even coming to be considered part of the pack. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Reyes Dormitory Hall; Student Center, Library, Towler Hall, Richmond Science Center), Kaffe
	Sophie Cooper Art; Cross Country Though only seventeen, Sophie is a bright young woman who is taking a handful of classes at UofAstoria as part of her senior year at Astoria High School. Her adoptive guardians are Casey and Esmer, a married pair of body modification artists who own the shop called Keepsake Tattoos in City Center; her relationship with them is more like that of friends than parents, given they aren't quite ten years older than she is. Sophie is a bright student and talented artist, with an avid interest in anthropology. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Art Center, Library, Richmond Science Center), Keepsake Tattoos (including the apartment above it where she lives).

Sophomores

	Carlie Banks Anthropology Major, Journalism Minor (Sophomore); Waitress at the Wet Dog Cafe A young woman who has clearly seen a lot of strange things, Carlie has something of a meek, sensitive demeanor. She's well-liked at the Wet Dog, however, and considers it something of a second home. She attends the University of Astoria, like her housemate Elizabeth. Though she was originally a journalism major when the school was Clatsop Community College, she has since switched her major to Anthropology. Common Locations: Her house in City Center (shared with Elizabeth Chien and two others), University of Astoria (Richmond Science Center, Columbia Hall), Wet Dog Cafe
	Kindra Eklund Physics Major Kindra Eklund a sophomore at U of A is, quite possibly, the most brilliant mind in the school. She has an amazing memory that she has trained such that many believe she has a photographic memory. She maintains a 4.0 GPA, but has done so only through the use of Caffeine. She doesn't actually have a photographic memory, just a very good one, nor can she take notes. In fact, she has to hire a note taker for her classes through the University. She is severely dyslexic, which she believes is connected to the fact she is ambidextrous. She is a pagan, and follows the Norse deities, though she refuses to use the word Asatru as she is not a part of the Asatru culture. She wears a pendant on which is inscribed the Web of Wyrd. She's not really into sports, unless you count Archery, and her membership in ARMA, but she is huge survival nut and enjoys learning old skills, such as hunting, tanning hides, horse back riding, etc. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Richmond Science Center), her City Center apartment, Kaffe
	Olivia Saenz Conservation Major, Journalism Minor Olivia Saenz is a conservation and journalism student who has already begun building a CV of published articles in smaller conservation and ecology magazines in the U.S. and Canada. She was present at the Bonfire Night, and is now obsessed with local wolf populations - and preventing harm from coming to them. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Delphis Hall, Student Center, Library), her City Center apartment
	Sandy Roberts Sociology Major Sandy grew up in Yakima WA and comes from good solid redneck stock. As a kid, she found a show called Will & Grace, that she found hilarious. She is convinced that gay men are universally smart and funny and wished she had some gay friends of her own. She was always sad that there weren't any in her town (or so she thought), and was thrilled when she was able to get in to Astoria University. While she may be horribly ignorant, she is incredibly open and fascinated by gay culture. She is sometimes sad that she is not gay herself. She has been heard telling her friends she would consider being gay, if she "didn't like cock so much". She is an enthusiastic supporter of the GSA and has been known to shake her ass to the music when she gets the chance. • Season One: While at Kaffe just before Midterms, Sandy broke down crying and tried to throw herself into traffic. Luckily, Thomas was there to stop her, and she seemed to be confused and disoriented, with no recollection of trying to do so. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Garza Dormitory Hall; Kant Hall, Student Center, esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Library), Crossroads
	Zane Connley Marketing Major (Sophomore); member of GSA An intelligent young man who does occasional drag in Portland (and on the rare "drag night" at the Crossroads) as "Edie Couture", Zane's presentation have become less shy and more flamboyant the longer he's been away from his small Washington hometown. • Season One: Zane had some pretty damning things to say about the ATO frat, warning someone else at the GSA meeting that they were "homophobic assholes," some of whom had chased him and thrown things at him last year after he'd performed in drag at the Crossroads. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Kayman Dormitory Hall; Student Center, esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Towler Hall, Adler Hall), the Crossroads, Kaffe

Juniors

	Elizabeth Chien Marine Biology (Junior); Waitress at the Wet Dog Cafe Elizabeth waits tables part-time; she spends the most of the rest of her time studying marine biology at the University of Astoria. Though she definitely wants something better out of life for herself, she considers herself well-rounded, working, learning and even keeping in decent shape with a couple of kung-fu and tai chi classes at the Chinese Community Center. • Season One: In the Wet Dog Her eyes went black, she grabbed Elaines Hand and said "Bring us the Treasure, It is not for the Likes of you" Common Locations: Her house in City Center (shared with Carlie Banks and two others), University of Astoria (MERTS, Richmond Science Center), Astoria Chinese Community Center, Wet Dog Cafe
	Linda Dennison Biology Major (Junior) Sweet natured and quite pretty, Linda is a biology major who is thinking about changing her major to sociology. She is active in the GSA and the Cross Country team. • Season One: Linda came onto Elaine pretty strongly, asking to be added to her class so she could be near her. Elaine shot her down, however. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Reyes Dormitory Hall; Richmond Science Center, Student Center, esp. the UofA Queer Resource Center), Kaffe
	Melissa Thompson English Major (Junior) Something of a fixture at the various frat parties, bars and the Crossroads, Melissa tends to sort of blend into the background. She always seems to be having a good time, and certain has no problems socially - part of her "blending" sometimes involves sitting in the background making out with some guy or another. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Towler Hall, Student Center), various fraternity parties, the Crossroads, her apartment just off campus
	Perla Ramirez President of the GSA; Sociology Major (Junior), Cross Country An intelligent young woman concerned with issues of social justice and LGBTQ activism. She maintains a fairly well-read blog on the topics of queer social justice in universities and among young adults. Season One: Perla has helped keep the GSA running, even when its sponsors have neglected it. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Sanders Dormitory Hall; Kant Hall, Student Center, esp. the UofA Queer Resource Center, Library)

Seniors

Emily Carmine Marine Biology (Senior) Emily is a gorgeous East Coast lesbian who's known to have made her way through the womanly offerings of UofA's queer community and is pretty much done with it. She's friends with all of her many conquests, however, and a leader in the community. Many of those conquests who've gotten to know her better have heard her talk about Italian families back home with some mystery, and she seems to know a lot about Astoria's seedier side, as she's able to curry favors to obtain things most students can't. She loves dolphins, and her room is filled with knick knacks of the noble beast. Common Locations: Her apartment in City Center, University of Astoria (MERTS, Richmond Science Center)

Former Students

Gabe Gerhardt Conservation Major A shy kid that keeps to himself, Gabe is a natural in the outdoors, having spent much of his time out in the wilder areas of western Washington. He's only recently started attending GSA meetings, though he hasn't quite indicated what part of the Kinsey scale he occupies. Gabe was among the students who disappeared after the Bonfire. He is also wanted by the police in connection to some stolen university equipment. Common Locations: University of Astoria (MERTS campus, Student Center, , esp the UofA Queer Resource Center, Forestry Zone)

Harris Clayton Mathematics Major A math major, Harris is a notably bright student. He's got a reputation as someone who's a bit stuck-up; Harris tends to keep to himself a lot, focusing on his studies when he's not working out in the gym (though he doesn't play any formal sports) or doing free-running. Harris was among the students who disappeared after the Bonfire. Common Locations: University of Astoria (Redhawk Dormitory Hall; Innis Hall, Athletics Center, Library)

Deceased Students

Teresa Cantu Major Undecided Teresa has almost always been in trouble, it seems. Raised by a single mother who worked as a dispatcher with the Astoria PD, it seems like she was always getting into trouble. Because her mother was one of theirs, however, the local cops tried to avoid putting her through the system for her behavior, and several of them sort of took her under their wing, particularly Cliff Jelo, who became something of a father figure for the girl. As a result, Teresa ended up spending lots of time at the Jelo residence. She's now in university, but old habits die hard, and she's managed to fall in with some folks who tend towards a slightly more troublesome outlook on life, including one Thomas Craig. She is fascinated with Thomas's stories about his rowdy days in LA as a kid, and sometimes pushes for demonstrations over stories. • Ep 101: Teresa texted Thomas while he was investigating the UofA Athletic Center with Warner, insisting that he come to the Crossroads. When he arrived, she proceeded to swoon over Jace all night, despairing in his eventual interest in Aedia Randall and her sorority sisters. • Ep 105: After stealing the Dean's Car she dies in a car accident, almost taking Thomas and Jace with her. • Ep 106: Teresa sends texts to Thomas... from beyond the grave Common Locations: University of Astoria (Bendall Dormitory, Room 207; Student Center, Library, Main Quad), Warner's Loft, the Crossroads
