    Meet Pia Strauss

    Apt. 2 C
    collage-2015-12-14-22_35_01_11.jpg?w=723


    A stylish business woman who works as a futures trader. She is friendly and welcoming. She finds the art and dance kids in the building to be quite interesting and often pines for her young adult years. She is focused and works hard and struggles to make time for fun. She loves the finer things and is always dressed for success. She is the leader of the Careers club, a group of women (for now) who are ambitious and devoted to their careers.

    Meet Georg and Girda Goldschmidt
    Apt. 1 A
    collage-2015-12-14-22_36_43_1.jpg?w=723

    Georg is a kind and friendly man. Unlike his wife Gerda, he always has a smile for everyone. He often tunes Gerda out while she goes on and on about those 🐸🐸🐸🐸 dance kids and their stomping and grating music.

    He loves food and loves to cook. Even though he is retired he is always perfecting his recipes and sharing what he cooks with the buildings other occupants even though it angers his wife.

    He is a member of a gardening club and often spends his time tending the building of garden and trading gardening tips with club memebers and using his produce to cook his amazing dishes.

    img1450154875742.jpg?w=723
    She hates everyone and especially those noisy dance, music, and art kids living in her building. She lets them know when she is annoyed, all the time, by hitting her ceiling with her broom, yelling at them in the hallway, and complaining to management and to her husband Georg.

    She spends her time in her Cranky Old Bats club yelling at, scaring, and just tormenting children in general. It gives her great pleasure to ruin a childs day.

    Tobias "DJ NoBias" Weber and Lukas Klein
    2B
    collage-2015-12-14-22_56_33_1.jpg



    A DJ and an underground dancer, he was born in Windenburg and attended Windenburg Academy of Dance and the Arts briefly before dropping out and DJing at all the hot parties where he also dances with his crew in the underground parties of the city.

    Tobias is very confidant and loves the music and dance scene. He is always running mixes in his head.

    He and his roomie Lukas are best friends and are as close as brothers. He wants to own his own club and host the hottest and most exclusive parties in Windenburg.

    Tobias was raised by his mother and grandmother with his little sister in the sprawling countryside of Windenburg in his grandmother's cottage. When he was a teenager his mother took Lukas in and raised him as well.

    (Thanks to @eXokamikaze /ninjapig for the DJ name suggestion)
    collage-2015-12-14-22_47_49_1.jpg

    Lukas is a dancer in the same crew as his roommate, Tobias. Lukas has a mind for business and an optimistic outlook on life.

    He helps Tobias market himself and network to get to DJ the most exclusive parties. They are business partners. And together, work hard to promote and save up to own their own exclusive club.

    He and Tobias were friends as children he was basically adopted by Tobias mother and grandmother. He has a thing for Katja who doesn’t seem to notice. Will he ever get the girl?

    Ysabel Grisi and KatjaGoethe
    2A


    collage-2015-12-14-23_00_38_1.jpg


    Meet 2A


    An edgy, fun loving Artist, she moved from Monte Vista (where she had grown tired of stomping grapes at her parents nectary and spinning out fresh made noodles their popular pasta eatery)to Windenburg to attend Windenburg Academy of Dance and the Arts to hone her art skills, but she is also a skilled contemporary dancer who likes to fuse her painting with her dancing for a unique show.

    Ysabel struggled in her very large family, with three brothers and one sister and all their kids and spouses, to stand out and be true to herself. So her move to Windenburg, years ago, provided her space and inspiration to grow.


    Ysabel is always laughing and making others laugh. She has fun and enjoys her art, wanting to inspire others to laugh, cry, and feel what she puts into her creations. She is a loyal friend and is always willing to help her roomies.

    collage-2015-12-14-23_06_17_1.jpg

    A cool, classic beauty, she is a classical ballerina that also attends school with Nyla and Ysabel. She is a local, so she shows the girls all the best spots in Windenburg.

    She is a classical and technical dancer more apt to dance as the sleeping Aurora, the innocent Clara, and the ethereal and tragic Ondine, than Columbine or the Firebird. She is very serious and dedicated to her dancing.

    Kat's family are very wealthy and some say Windenburg would not exist if it weren't for them. She has great influence in the city and her parents often disagree with her choice to live in the Proprietor's Apartments, attend WADA, and hang out with the people that she does. She wants to dance and she loves the unique people she meets in her building and in the trendy area of Old Town Windenburg.

    Katja loves what she does; it is who she is. Katja is a romantic, perhaps because of her love of ballet and its tragic characters, she is looking for her soulmate. She is often unlucky in love but she knows she will find him one day. Maybe he is under her nose... Or across the hall.

    This looks so awesome! I adore your character profiles you put together! (And I agree about Lukas, and not just because i'm fond of the name :lol: Those piercings :love: And who can't resist some good ol' unrequited love?)

    Can't wait to see more of Nyla, by the way. She looks gorgeous in that first pic you have of her! Can't wait to see her profile too :)

    There's so much I love in this first chapter--every single bit of it! That attention to detail is really brilliant. And I love all the little CC items--the pull-down tray, the journal, everything! So exciting for Nyla to begin this life. I wish there were a prize for Best First Chapter--I'd award it to this one! :)
