[Suri Manning]

Suri Noelle Manning
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Personality: Suri has always come-off as that quiet, and reserved type of person her whole life. But this year- She has really come out of her shell. She finds herself doing a lot of crazy things with her sister Shiloh, and taking a lot more chances, forgetting about what the outcome might be. To many people, she seemes un-approachable. But, if you get to know her, you’ll find that she is just scared to let anything get to her- Not really wanting to feel the feelings that she has for something, or someone. She has horrible trust issues, and rarely even opens up to anyone.

The only person she knows she can trust, is her best friend, Mason Stone. They have been best friends since childhood, and he has always been the one to get her to try new things- And become more outgoing. Suri probably broke out of her shell because of Mason, and all the support he gives her.



Physical Traits: Suri stands 5 feet and 10 inches off of the ground, making her only one inch shorter than Mason. She has long, almost blonde hair, with honey highlights that fit her perfectly, and compliment her beautiful green eyes. Her body is very fragile, and petite. She wears very fitting clothes, so you can always tell that she has a great body. Suri has played soccer since 2nd grade, and she adores running, so its no wonder that she has a great body.

Back-story & Information: Suri Noelle Manning was born to Craig and Emma Manning just before Craig landed a record label. Growing up, she has never had to worry about the cost of anything, considering her father is a well-known artist, and her mother is a pediatrician that makes quite a bit of money as well. In elementary and junior high, she was always known as the rich, hardcore prep that thought she was better than everyone. But really- She was just afraid to let anyone close to her. Suri has always been that way…Wondering what the whispers about her are behind her back. But at the end of the day, she didn’t need anyone except for Mason, her class-clown best friend- Natalie, the girl that she can tell everything to, and Dexter- Her geeky, but adorkable best friend.

Suri has never really bothered that much with trying to fit in in other cliques, because she has always had her amazing friends that are always there for her- And have been since she was younge, or since childhood. Suri, Mason, and Dexter have always been friends- Since they were arounf four or three. They all would take baths together, Suri would force them to play barbies with her, play tag- You name a game, they would all play it together. When Suri met Natalie in the 8th grade, she completed the fantastic four- Now, they all pretty much hang out together.

The Manning’s and The Stone’s have been best friends for longer than Suri could remember. The always has memories of Mason coming over when they were only 2 or 3, and taking baths together. So by now- Suri knows that Mason is probably the only one that she can trust. He has always encouraged her to try new things, and supported her in pretty much every decision that she would make throughout school. Now, In Senior year, her feelings for Mason have grown stronger…In a more than friends kind of way. She wants to deny these feelings, but everytime she talks to Mason- They get stronger and stronger, and Suri just doesn’t know how to deal- She has never had feelings like that before.

You could say that Suri is just a poetic writer/artist- Because that’s all you will ever see her doing. She carries a notebook with her everywhere, just incase there is some last minute inspiration, or a really pretty scenery that she wants to draw. You can always see her and Mason, him sitting with his guitar, and Suri singing a song she has written herself to his music. She loves music- Which is probably why her and Mason get along so well. Its a passion that they both share- Which just brings them closer.

Later into Suri's senior year- She wrote Mason a song...A song that declared her love for him. Well, it just so happens that Mason had wrote her a song as well - And after the song was played, Suri's lips immeadietely landed on Mason's. Since that kiss, Suri and Mason have been officially together - And everything was just as it should be...Until they took to the next step. Sex seemed perfect to the two. They had longed to be with each other forever, and Suri was sure that she wanted Mason to be the guy that she lost her virginity to - So, it wasn't long before they took that big step. Normally, everything ends up fine after sex. It brings the couple together, you feel more inlove than you did before - But in this case, it ended up in pregnancy.

Suri was only 18, and she was carrying a child in her stomach. It took her awhile to finally come out and say it to Mason - But his reaction wasn't as Suri thought it would be. He put on a wide smile, and was excited that they had created something together. With Mason's complete and total support, Suri settled witht eh idea of being pregnant. She was sure that she had the strength to get through it all, and to be honost - With Mason being the father, she was excited herself to start and family with him - Even if it was a bit to early.

Suri is now almost 6 months pregnant, and is growing rapidly. Her parents are supportive, and Mason is always by her side. Most kids at Degrassi know about it- And most are happy for Mason and Suri, but the immature people that entertain themselves by taunting others are the problem for Suri. She is strong- And has taught herself to simply ignore them, but will she be able to take it through-out the rest of the year? Along with all of the stress school is causing- The hormones in Suri are raging, sending her on mood-swings and food-cravings. But- There is something else that the hormones might not be causing...Suri wants to get married. She hasn't said a word to Mason, besides dropping little tiny hints - But she wants to get married and raise the child as husband and wife.

[Mason Stone]

Mason Johnathan Stone

__________________________


Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Personality: Mason can at first seem a little standoffish and shy, but when you get to know him, he opens up right away. He has a very whacky sense of humor, as well as dry and sarcastic. He has a reputation around the school as being the 'class clown', and hopes that on the last day of school, he can pull a prank that blows all the other senior pranks out of the water.

Of course, Mason also can be serious when he needs to be. He may be a comedian, but he's not the out-of-control always-getting-in-trouble type. He has a deep passion for music, and when he's in the zone, there's no getting him out of it. His best friend, Suri Manning, knows this well, and respects it. They've been best friends since the diaper days, and are always there for each other. Mason is fiercely loyal, and is great at giving advice to whomever needs it.

Mason has a huge passion for music. Suri's dad, Craig Manning, gave him one of his old guitars when he was 13, and he's been playing ever since. He's only been playing for five years, but because he practices so often, it sounds as though he's been playing for twenty-five. He hopes that one day, he can make it in the music business as a great singer/songwriter.

Physical Traits: Mason stands at the height of 5'11", just an inch shorter than his youngest brother, Cohen. Because he plays soccer in the fall and basketball in the winter, he has a very athletic build, but he isn't too bulky. In fact, his build is similar to that of Cohen's. He has blonde hair and blue eyes; this makes him almost the spitting-image of his father, Peter. He has a very casual sense of style; jeans and a tee with gymshoes would suit him perfectly. Sometimes, though, he wears scarves and sweaters, just for kicks.

Back-story & Information: Mason Johnathan Stone was the first born of Peter and Manny Stone. His father, Peter, is a famous movie producer, and has produced some of the greatest blockbusters. His mother, Manny, has starred in these big blockbusters, and many other films.

He is the oldest child in the family, with a younger brother and a younger sister, who are twins. Because his parents are always so busy or always out, he has silently volunteered to be the fatherly-figure for the family. He looks out for his younger siblings, and makes sure that they're okay. He has also applied this quality with his friends; he makes sure that they don't get into too much trouble, and he lets them know that if they need any help with anything at all, he's the man to go to. He would love to cut loose like the rest of his siblings and just have a fun teenage experience, but his feelings towards taking care of people overpowers this need to be free.

His family has been friends with the Mannings for a long time, which is how he met Suri. They have been best friends since the dawn of time, but now it seems as though he developed a slight crush on Suri. He didn't want to tell her, however, in case it ruined their friendship.

But then one day, he gathered up the courage to write a song to her explaining his feelings. Turns out she had written one as well, and the two knew instantly that they should be together. One thing led to another, and now...let's just say that Suri's six months along. He was estatic when he found out, and hopes that the two will be able to raise the baby together.

When he graduates high school, he wants to move to Atlanta, Georgia, and pursue a music career. But, with all the drama going on at Degrassi, will he make it through this year?

Although she’s easily manipulated and is known to blush and act shyly around the opposite sex, she also can be very sarcastic and witty. When guy's annoy her, hitting on her and such, she's very quick to attempt to put them in their place.

Caleigh is also a bit of a bookworm. She loves to read anything from classics to books fresh off the New York Times best seller list. She doesn't care. She just likes to read. Her grades are also very important to her, as she plans to attend Princeton once she graduates from Degrassi High. She's new to the school, and is experiencing the basic 'new kid' trauma, not knowing anybody and such.

[Cohen Stone]

Cohen Conner Stone
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Personality: Cohen can be cocky, arrogant and a little too full of himself. He can also be caring, protective and fiercely loyal to his friends. It's just a matter of where you fall in his life, and essentially what you are to him. He's not used to people saying no to him, and because his family is wealthy, he's used to getting what he wants, when he wants. People want to be friends with all three Stone children, they want to be invited to the Mansion parties and blowouts, so by default the 'popular' kids all want to be friends with Cohen. That fact sometimes goes to his head, resulting in his conceited attitude.

There are people, however, that can put him in his place. His best friend Shiloh Manning is definitely one of those people. Because they've been friends pretty much since birth, Shiloh knows the real Cohen and usually brings out what he thinks is the best in him. His fraternal twin sister Mackenzie is also one of those people. He's very protective of both Shiloh and Mackenzie, especially when it comes to the guys they date. He knows those guys, and he knows how guys like him think. He just doesn't want to see his sister or his best friend hurt. All in all, Cohen can be spontaneous and he likes to have fun. He has no regrets, always looking for the next stupid thing to do, and he's a fast-talker. He can pretty much talk himself out of any trouble he gets into, using his money and his 'connections' to keep a clean slate.

Physical Traits: Cohen stands at six feet tall, with a slightly muscular build. He keeps himself in shape through basketball, and he's far from the runt in his family. He's tall, but not bulky, and he's taller than his older brother, making him appear older than he actually is. As far as clothing goes, Cohen is pretty laid back. His closet is full of band t-shirts and jeans, and he's not one to really care what brand something is, as long as it looks good on him.

He has natural dirty blond hair and blue eyes, that change in their contrast as his emotions change. When he's angry, they can get extremely dark blue. When he's joking around or amused, they are lighter and have a mischievous sparkle. Right now, he's letting his hair grow out a little longer, as apposed to the buzz cut he used to sport, just to mix things up.

Back-story & Information: Cohen is the second son of Peter and Manny Stone. He has a twin sister Mackenzie who he's been best friends with since birth, obviously. He's only older than her by five minutes but he still likes to look out for her as an older brother would. They're fraternal, but they were still treated as most twins are. It was always 'CohenandMackenzie' this or 'the twins' that. They were put in matching outfits, the whole deal, but somehow Cohen didn't come out a traumatized sissy, like most in his place would have.

He loves basketball, and is on the school team. He's not stupid enough to think that he can make a career out of it, but he's good and he knows it. Secretly, he wants to be a writer, but he hasn't told anyone but Shiloh about that. Shiloh is Cohen's other best friend. They also grew up together because both Cohen and Shiloh's parents are good friends. When they were infants, they did that whole 'taking baths together, writing marker all over each other's faces' thing and they've just been 'the boy next door' and the 'girl next door' for each other. Always having been great friends, they've become almost like the Dawson and Joey of Degrassi High.

In school, Cohen revels in what his family name and wealth has handed him: Popularity. But unlike what most guys in his place, he's not willing to leave his friends behind. He still sits with them at lunch, hangs out with them as much as he can. He's a good friend, despite what some people would think. Sure, he misses a few calls, has his bad moments, be generally he's there for the people he loves. When it comes to grades, Cohen is one of those people who could probably sleep through a class and then pass the test with flying colors the next day. He does the work he's assigned, but he's lazy about it and rarely tries. This often results with him having to get a tutor. Because if he fails, he gets kicked of the basketball team, and that's just something he can't have happen.

[Dakota Hunt]

Dakota Levi Hunt
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 18
Grade: Senior
Personality: Ever since Dakota moved to Toronto, he has always been seen as quiet, and reserved. But of course- he had his reasons. He keeps to himself, not really trusting anyone that he could open up and tell things to. He may seem like a loner, but really- He feels that if he surrounds himself with people, it would make him vulnerable to be hurt...Or just to feel any emotion at all would freak Dakota out. He can come off as a bad-ass at times, because if you are trying to get to know him- He wants to keep you as far away as he possibly can.

Of course, there has been offers to Dakota for a boyfriend- But even if the girl was super-model gorgeous, a simple "no" is all they would hear in return. After all that has happened, Dakota is afraid to let anyone touch him again....Afriad to be called someone other than Soleil's boyfriend. But- Would you blame him? After all he's gone through- All he really wants is not to feel the way he has ever again...And if he just shuts people out, it will stay that way. Which is why he sleeps around alot, so it will furfill his guilty pleasures and keep him going on in a loveless life.

If you ever really go to know Dakota, you would find the true him- The sweet, loyal, trusting person that he really is- But of course, he will never let that side show. He has always been the poetic, and down-to-earth deep type of person. He sees life in a whole different perspective than everyone else- That he has become wise over his years, and he really hasn't realized it. Dakota is a very musical person as well. He plays drums, acoustic guitar, and he occasionally sings. The only way you will hear him though, is if you hold your ear up to the basement door in his grandparents house...He will hear the sweet symphony that he plays for himself...Hoping that Soleil and Christian will hear it up in heaven.

Physical Traits: Dakota stands about 5 feet and 10 and 1/2 inches off of the ground. He has shaved black hair, that he will never grow out. He thinks it makes him look vulnerable. His hair compliments his beautiful green eyes, that sometimes can appear to be blue. Dakota's body is muscular, and in perfect shape because after the o.d, he has to take extra good care of his body.

Dakota keeps his style casual, but always seemes to put his own touch to every one of his outfits. He dresses how he likes, and doesn't care about what people think about him. He is known for wearing vans slip-ons or chuck taylors, a pair of dark jeans, a comfortable tee that describes him, and maybe a necklace from time-to-time.

Back-story & Information: Dakota is the way he is for a reason. He hasn’t always lived in Toronto, and he hasn’t always acted the way he does…His past makes up who he is now…And yes, he does have a past- Just like any other human being would.

Dakota’s past takes place in Boston- Where it all began. He was born to a Jake and Sarah Hunt, on September 12th 1988. Growing up, Dakota was always one to get into loads of trouble. Even when he was an infant, he was always caught messing with his mother’s jewelry, or spilling vegetable oil in the kitchen. As he grew older, Dakota became a rebellious type of child…Always trying to prove himself, and break the ‘spoiled rich boy’ reputation that would follow him through elementary and some of junior high. But- It would all soon be broken with one simple name…Soleil.

In the 8th grade, when Dakota was only 14, he met Soleil, a girl in the grade above him, that little did he know- Would become the love of his life. The two were never really friends, and went straight into a relationship with one look at each other. Some would say they took their relationship too fast—But they were ready for it—Them having so deep feelings for each other, it all just seemed right. Although, it would be something they would soon regret, and wish they would have listened to their friends and family.

The night of the house party…The were drunk…They were alone…and it all fell into place. Them being out of their minds, and not really sure of what they were doing- They made love- and would soon become parents to a child they weren’t ready for. The news came suddenly, and because Soleil and Dakota were both drunk when it happened, they were unsure of how she became pregnant…But the fact still remained- Soleil was having Dakota’s child. After many fights, and many debates, Soleil and Dakota decided they would keep the baby- And start a family together. Of course they were young, but it didn’t change the fact that they would have a family regardless of what happened with the baby.

The pregnancy was rough at first…Soleil and Dakota having to deal with her raging parents, morning sickness, doctor appointments, and getting things ready for when the baby arrived. The only thing that was really holding the couple together, was their love—And that was undeniable. Soleil went into labor on December 2nd of 2003. Shortly after, their son, Christian Taylour Hunt being born only hours later. The first few months with the baby ran smoothly…Dakota and Soleil so mesmerized with the fact that they had brought a child into this world together…They were parents. But like I said, the first few months ran smoothly. Over time- things grew tougher, and the coupled grew apart. It seemed like all Dakota and Soleil did anymore was fight…Sometimes it was an argument over nothing at all.

One night, when baby Christian was almost one year old, Dakota and Soleil got in probably the biggest fight they had ever had before. Words were said…Words they both didn’t really mean…But, they thought they would always have tomorrow to work it out. In this case- Tomorrow wasn’t an option for Soleil and Dakota. Soleil being pissed off, and partially drunk, Soleil sped across an icy road, and flipped her car off of the road, killing herself, and baby Christian in the process.

Dakota woke up the next morning to find his whole world completely changed. Finding out about this tragedy hit Dakota very hard…So much, that he just wanted to end his own life. He became an alcoholic at the age of only 16….And one night- when the pain was just too much to deal with- He tried to take his own life, by over-dosing on Pain Killers. Fortunately for Dakota, his mother found him only minutes after the drugs were in his system, rushed him to the hospital, and saved his life.

His parents were always understanding about why Dakota did the things he did to himself….His son was dead. The love of his life was dead…And the last thing he said to her was ’I wish I had never met you.’, which made it even harder for Dakota to get over her death. But- Because Dakota was still doing these things to himself- His parents decided that he needed to get away for awhile…So they sent him off, to live with his grandparents in Toronto. Although he is in a different surrounding, Dakota will never forget about that night- Where he lost everything.

You truly wont know Dakota, if you don’t know his past.

[Shiloh Manning]

Shiloh Anne Manning
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Personality: Shiloh is crazy. Not in the 'babble when I'm nervous', 'nut-house' kind of way. But in the way that she would do anything to live life on the edge and be adventurous and wild. She's always been like that. A day isn't a day if Shiloh isn't getting into some kind of trouble. She lives for it. Most likely, Shiloh is a first class bitch, who doesn't really take anybodys crap. She's loyal to her friends and a true, hardcore enemy to those who are not. Shes extremely impulsive, so the best thing that pops into her head at the moment is what she will definitley do. She doesn't let people change her mind for her, and often she's too independent. She doesn't let people help her when she's in need.

To elaborate that, Shiloh hates when people pity her, or anything to that matter. She has the idea that she can do anything by herself, without the help of a friend, a boyfriend, or her family - Which can often lead to her pushing people away. It doesn't bother Shiloh much though, because if she looses a friend, she never cares.. She just makes a brand new one. She's willing to try anything new, and she loves to laugh. She lives life to the fullest, which can be a good idea for a person who is getting ready to die or something, but Shiloh is very much alive, and plans to be living for very long.

Shiloh is just Shiloh, and nobody can ever change that - Whether it is considered a good thing or a bad thing.

Physical Traits: Shiloh is a very petite girl. Not very tall, just medium sized - Something like 5'6 or 5'7. She barely weighs anything, considering all of the drugs and alcohol, but she's beautiful. She has long, light brown hair and gorgeous green eyes. She has small curves, but they're perfect for her. She takes somewhat after Suri, considering Suri is very skinny, but her size takes after her mother's in highschool, how she was never really that tall. Shiloh is confident about her body, and flaunts what she can - So it's all good to her.

Back-story & Information: Shiloh was born to Craig and Emma Manning, a fabulously rich couple. Craig is a well-known music artist, and Emma, a pediatrician. Shiloh had an older sister, Suri, who she fancied as a child, but grew out of the stage completely. Shiloh took advantage of her parents money, starting as a child - Wanting candy, a pony, a barbie-doll. She was a spoiled little brat, and just kept taking. So, being rich, Shiloh became somewhat popular and likeable at a young age. Being liked led to other things, and Shiloh got into a whole bunch of crap at the age of thirteen. She was rebellious, some nights she wouldn't come home, and she partied constantly. What should she care, right? Her parents were never home to care about her like that.

So, Shiloh basically grew up being rebellious and a huge bitch to everyone she didn't like - But she loved her life. She loved living life on the edge and doing as she pleased. She actually had more people that liked her for her boldness. Shiloh toned down her spoiled-brat act by the age of fifteen, but she was still the same old Shiloh - Rebellious and crazy. She did drugs, drank constantly, and partied as she pleased. Life was good in Shiloh's eyes, because she lived the best of both worlds.

Suri never really approved of what Shiloh did, which caused a lot of conflict between them. They're sisters, and they'll love each other no matter what, but they don't hang out too much. Well, Shiloh does hang out with her and the Stones all the time, because they're like family. Cohen Stone in particular is the Dawson to her Joey. They're best friends, and will always be. Mason has always been like a big brother to her, and Mackenzie was always her best friend throughout school - Even if she didn't want to get so crazy with Shiloh at times. It sort of bonded everyone together, though.

Shiloh fell inlove with Davey Nunez when she was sixteen, and it became a secret romance because her parents hated his mother, Alex. Though, they worked it out, but then Davey wanted a full commitment when they turned seventeen.. He anted to marry her. Shiloh freaked out, broke up with him, and ruined a perfect relationship. They still talk, however, but Shiloh still isn't sure what she wants out of any relationship now. She's just sort of hoping for a new love that doesn't require marriage.

Janine Helen Hogart
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Personality: A lot like her Father, and a lot like her Mother, Janine Hogart has the most unique personality that you'll find in all of Toronto. Most people will tell you that the girl is purely bi-polar, but the truth is having a Dad who's hardly around and a Mom who's more than cheery about it has an effect on a girl. Often bitter and cold towards others, Janine will be bitter one day, and sweet and kind the next. If you're on Janine's good side, you'll be in for a very nice friendship. But be forewarned anyone who is on her bad side, be very ready for a bumpy ride. Seeing as how her Dad is still sort of in the Montreal Crew Janine's got a few 'close friends' who will do a number.

Physical Traits: Standing about 5 foot 6, Janine is sort of tall for a girl. She takes this very proudly. She only weighs 110 pounds, and is pretty fit seeing as how she plays volleyball. The countless hours that she will spend playing volleyball both inside and out give her a nice toned look. Her eyes are icy blue, and she has some of the bounciest blond hair North of the American border.

Back-story & Information: The only daughter of Jay + Paige Hogart is quite a number. Born and raised in Toronto mostly by her Mother, Janine doesn't exactly have a Father figure. She often turns to her Mother's good friend Marco in her times of Fatherly need. As a small girl, Janine wasn't too willing to dress up in a frilly pink dress and run around singing songs about ice cream and cake with the other girls. Instead she spent her time with her older brother. Most people peg Janine as the tom-boy type, and they're not exactly right. She doesn't really like the color pink, but she isn't die-hard about the boy stuff. She likes to have a good time, and hasn't had any other way of doing so other than playing G-I Joe and Army out in the front yard.

Growing up Janine wasn't entirely popular, and it's still that way today. She's in the shadow of every other girl in the school, and she hopes to God that she'll eventually be noticed by someone, anyone. She's only got a handful of close friends, and the truth is, it's sort of her own fault. Though she hates to admit it, the snarky attitude that she inherited from her Father usually keeps most of her peers away. Each year Janine tries just a little harder to make friends, and sometimes she's successful. She doesn't have as many friends as her Mother would like, but she has a couple of 'pals' over in the Montreal Crew.

Causing havoc is something Janine's good at. For years she's been hanging out with 'those thugs' (as her Mother calls them) who are in the Montreal Crew. Though it's highly against her Mothers wishes, Janine chooses her friends and wonders why her Mother is sending her mixed messages. Janine has been asked to join the cheer leading squad by her Mother a few times, and she's given a few denials. She doesn't think that cheer leading is her 'scene'.

Age: 18
Grade: Senior

Physical Traits: She has long blonde hair, which just surpasses her shoulders. Ridley has a slightly pale complexion, soft hazel eyes, and a slender build.

Back-story & Information: 18 years ago Ridley was born to the proud parents of Gavin and Darcy Mason. She is the older of the twins, by 13 minutes.

Ridley went to church every Sunday with out a fuss, and not once did she forget to pray before bedtime. Ridley excelled through school, she never seemed to have a need for studying. School was her favorite place to be. She enjoyed learning all she could. She wanted to become a Math teacher at and Elementary school one day. Ridley also enjoyed the athletics. She was on the Cheerleading Squad, and the Lacrosse team as well. Now in her final year of High School, she feels rather scared. Not sure if being an Elementary is what she really wants.

Acacia Maria Lynn Cameron
__________________________

c o m i n g s o o n

__________________________


Age: 16
Grade: Junior
Personality: A lot of people doubt that Cacie Cameron really is the daughter of Sean and Ellie Cameron. She doesn't appear to act anything like her parents. She is the sweetest person in the world if she likes you. She's into the environment, but more suprisingly, fashion. But those are just surface things. When you get to know her, you can automatically tell that she is in fact the daughter of two of the more rebellious students in the school years ago. When you manage to get under her skin, you discover the sarcasm she got from her mother. When you get under there far enough, she runs away from you, pushing anyone who could get even possibly close away.

Cacie is also a fighter. Not physically mind you. She's only been in three physical fights, each one she won but she didn't like. She's a fighter when it comes to life. She doesn't let things get her down, or at least she doesn't show when they get her down. If she has a problem with someone, a few words will be exchanged but that's about it. Only when they cross a line will she physically fight.

And the most important part of Cacie is that she cares, probably too much. She cares about people, and is always looking for the good in them. She cares about the environment and refuses to give up hope that she can influence people into making it better. She cares about guys, flirting with them despite their social status. She cares about the problems of others and tries to help. She cares about her friends. She cares about everyone. Except maybe herself.

She's very confident but has low self-esteem. She slices at her skin, but only the skin under her jeans and denim minis. She's secretive about her habit. She guards her heart after one heartbreak and doesn't like to let anyone in. She's considered a slut but she's only slept with two guys, willingly. She guards herself by faking a smile every day and never letting anyone see her frown or cry or show any weakness.


Physical Traits: Cacie stands at 5'5" and weighs around 115 pounds. She's proud of the curves she was given and uses them, combined with her large doe eyes, to capture the heart of the boys. She has long dark brown hair that she generally wears straight, unless she feels the desire to wake up early to style it into large curls. She has a million watt smile that lights up her heart shaped face and also whatever room she is in. She is always wearing vintage clothing, things that were popular before even her parents were born. She likes to mix the vintage clothing with the modern styles to create a fashion sense that no one else even dare to try. She's an original and she's proud of it. She also loves to wear protest shirts. She refuses to wear fur or leather because she loves animals too much to wear their hides on her flesh.


Back-story & Information: Acacia Maria Lynn Cameron was born on Christmas Eve to Sean and Ellie Cameron, two high school sweethearts who reunited a few years after graduation when her mother's car broke down on her way to classes at the university. Ellie had to go to the nearest repair shop and Sean happened to be working there, trying to get the money to open his own shop, Cameron's Custom Cars. They started to talk while he worked on the car and caught up. They spent a year together before eloping. Nine months later, Cacie's brother was born. Two years later, Cacie was born.

Instantly, they knew Cacie would be a handfull. She was always crawling around and making messes. She wouldn't eat the food her parents put on her plate, instead opting to go to the fridge and pull out whatever was in there, generally cheese. She followed her brother around like a little shadow. She loved to spend time in the shop with her dad when he finally opened it (when she was three). She was a tomboy.

This all changed when Cacie hit puberty. She discovered thrift stores and soon her old jeans and tee-shirts were replaced with clothing from the seventies and eighties. And then she discovered the fasion of the time and learned to combine the two styles into a style that was her own. She stopped spending as much time at the shop and with her brother, opting instead to go shopping with her best friend. She stopped hanging out so much with her brother, opting instead for other guys. She'd grown into a looker.

She'd also grown up into an environmentalist. She stopped eating meat at thirteen after watching a video about how animals were treated. She petitioned to get more vegetarian options on the school lunch menu and managed somehow to pass it. She also helped the school implement a recycling program after seeing how much of the school's waste could've been recycled instead of thrown out. She was sometimes referred to as a little Emma Nelson by the teachers who had Emma in their classes. She asked her parents what that meant when she was fourteen and was informed.

But like all good things, Cacie's innocence had to end. It ended one night when she was fourteen and at a party. She had been drinking and didn't remember anything in between her third or fourth drink and waking up naked in bed with a guy from another school. All she was told was that he'd used a condom. He insisted she said yes and she debated for a long time if that was considered rape. Finally a few months later, she broke down and talked to one of her childhood best friends, Serena Mason, and was informed that yes it was rape. She'd already suspected date rape drugs and looked them up, only to discover that she'd most likely have been drugged. Since then, she didn't touch a drink at a party.

She did move on, to another guy. The summer between grade nine and ten she went to stay with her grandparents in Wasaga and met a guy named Ben Tyler. Ben taught her how to forgive and also how to love. It only lasted three months and then she went home to start her sophomore year. They tried to make a long distance relationship work and it did for another two months. Then she went down there as a suprise when she got her license and discovered him making out on the beach with someone she'd despised every summer of her life. That broke her heart and she drove home, crying.

She started to cut herself then. The pressure of school, the loss of Ben, the rape, everything was too much. She never cut her arms though, she'd seen her mother's scars. Instead she cut on her legs in places no one would see. In the summer she cut in places that'd be hidden by a bikini bottom and usually included the sides of her hips. She would cut the upper part of her legs any other time so she'd be able to hide the cuts under her jeans and skirts.

Life got hard for her. She decided not to ever let anyone else in. The only people she'd talk to was her brother, her parents, and of course Serena. She kept on faking the smile so no one knew she was suffering.

Now she's finally a junior in high school. She's back into helping people. She's decided that she's got to try to let people in again. She still refuses sometimes, not liking to let herself be hurt. She runs away from her problems. She uses sarcasm to keep people from getting in.

Will people ever make it past Cacie's facades and walls to see the real her? Can Cacie ever start letting people in so she can be loved the way she yearns to be? Will anyone ever discover what's hiding under her mini skirts and fake smiles?

Dexter Levi Delrossi
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Personality: Dexter is a pretty nerdy guy. He is really smart and really sweet. He is the kind of guy who would rather be a girls friend than get in their pants. He is a really goofy guy, but you can only get him like that if you’re his good friend. Dexter is a pretty shy guy around people he doesn’t know, girls, and big mean jocks. He likes comic books, skateboarding, and video games.

Physical Traits: Dexter is a tall goofy looking kid. He had curly brown hair and big brown eyes. Dexter has long eyelashes and a cute smile. He likes to wear comfortable clothes and doesn’t really care about what he wears. That kind of kills his dad, Marco, because he’s a fashion designer.

Back-story & Information: Dexter Levi Delrossi was born to a 16 year old crack addict. Once he was born, she left him in a dumpster outside of a club. She didn’t know what else to do. A day later someone heard a cry in the dumpster and found the baby and took him to the orphanage. 6 months later a gay couple came in looking for a baby. Marco and Tim Delrossi saw Dexter and fell in love with him and adopted him.
Dexter always knew he was adopted. And it never really bothered him. He has always loved his parents more than anything, because they took him out of a really bad place. In elementary school he would get teased because he didn’t have a mom. He remembered asking Marco and Tim and they told him he was adopted. It didn’t bother him because his good friends didn’t care he didn’t have a mom.
Dexter has always been a smart kid. Ever since he was little he was top of his class. That made him kind of a dork. He and growing up he loved comic books and video games, which made him ever more of a dork. That never bothered him because he still had his good friends like Mason Stone and Suri Manning. He didn’t care about who else thought bad of him or what they thought of him. He just did what he wanted to and blew everyone else off.

Natalie Alysha Painter
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 17
Grade: Junior
Personality: Natalie, or 'Nat' as her close friends call her, is many things. First and foremost, she is very open. Because she's grown-up with an extremely rich mother, she knows how to live the 'good life'. She can handle her own at any socialite dinner and yet still behave like a hormonal teenage girl at a school rave. She's known to be a bit picky, especially when it comes to the guys she's interested in. If she absolutely has to get married, she wants to marry rich, figuring that if she's going to be forced to attach herself to some guy, she might as well get something out of it. She can be high-maintenance, but mostly she's just too opinionated for her own good.

Natalie doesn't really believe in love much any more. When she was 15, she got her first boyfriend. He was a junior in high school and she sort of, kind of, fell in love with him. She ended up, very stupidly and irrationally, giving up her virginity to him and he dumped her soon after. Understandably, she's not quick to trust guys in relationships and she can pretty much spot a player a mile away. Also, she's not afraid to speak her mind and tell someone what's what, so matter who they are, and it can be intimidating.

At first Nat planned to leave Degrassi High as soon as she could, and move back to NYC where she hailed from a little over three years ago, but now she's not so sure. She loves the friends she's made and the life she's created and doesn't want to leave it, but deep down she knows she's destined for something more.

Physical Traits: Natalie stands at about 5' 5", and she's always been on the short side. This is something she counterbalances by wearing expensive heels and thick soled shoes. And most of the time, her attitude is so big that you don't notice how small she is in comparison. Her hair is dark brown at the moment, but she'll probably highlight some time in the future. It's cut a little below her shoulder and she wears it wavy, curly, straight, you name it. She always has a new hairstyle for a new day. Her eyes are a piercing dark brown, but they change with her mood.

Natalie is always up on the latest fashions. She has her own style, but she usually sticks to mixing different brand names. Her style in itself is a little more edgy because of her New Yorker background. She wears a lot of skirts and loves adding a variety of different bags and shoes.

Back-story & Information: Natalie was born to Natalie Painter and Dustin Armstrong in New York City. Her mother was a total feminist, but made her way up the social chain, ironically, by getting with the high-ranking guys. She married Dustin because he was rich, and a complete push over. Dustin took her last name, instead of the other way around, and she named their first and only daughter after herself. Natalie's older brother James, or Jimmy, died when she was eight in a car accident. The only other person in the car was Natalie, and she got away without a scratch. Nat was completely devastated by this, especially at her young age. She'd loved her brother, but she never grieved him. She held it in, developing her attitude and a sort of cynicism about life in general.

Natalie Painter II grew up in the heart of NYC, mostly acting as a debutante. She's strong, despite her size, and she's a little judgmental. She's also a very in the moment person, doing things as they come to her. In school, her grades are average. She plans to go to college to be a clothing designer. It's something she loves to do, designing and creating new clothes to wear. Even though she loves the brand names, she does a lot of her own stuff, too.

Kayne Michael Sedaris
__________________________


__________________________


Age: 18
Grade: 12
Personality: Kayne Sedaris is probably best known for his rough exterior. But on the inside, all that Kayne wants is to be known for who he is. Kayne is anything but rude, in fact he’s a rather perfect gentleman. He can have his times where he can by snippy, and smartassy if need be. But Kayne is generally known for his sweet, caring attitude which he ‘inherited’ from his foster-father. Kayne doesn’t exactly believe in violence, and he does his best to avoid it.

Physical Traits: Kayne stands about 6 feet off of the ground. He has beautiful blue eyes, and blonde hair. He has a muscular and athletic built body.

Back-story & Information: Kayne Michaels was born in a shabby hotel in east Jersey in 1988. The first few years of Kayne’s life were anything but easy. He practically lived behind the hotel where he was born at, and his parents had eloped and ran off from their homes in West New York. When Kayne was 2, his father had become addicted to drugs, and ran off taking all of the money that Kayne’s 20 year old mother had been saving up for him to have so he would have money for school. Three and a half years later, Kayne’s mother abandoned him at a soup kitchen a few miles away from their ‘home’. Two and a half hours later, Kayne was sent to the orphanage in Jersey City. Three and a half weeks later, Kayne was adopted by the David Sedaris while he was on a business trip.

Being the adopted son of author David Sedaris wasn’t as easy as anyone would presume. Kayne had to deal with the constant bickering of the children from Paris picking on his Father because of his sexual preference, and it got on Kayne’s nerves more than anything in the world. Though he was a generally sweet kid, if someone said the wrong thing about anyone that he cared for, Kayne would snap and a strange alter-ego would emerge.

Kayne lived in Paris until September of his Senior year. His Father told him that they would be moving to Toronto, Canada. He didn’t give any specifics, other than that he felt like a change of scenery. Kayne didn’t argue, though he had made many good friends during the past 16 years, he was willing to give them up if it was his Father’s wish. Though most would say that Kayne was just sucking up to get his Father’s praise, Kayne won’t turn anything in unless it’s the best. He’s a bit of a perfectionist, and he felt that the new start in Toronto would be good for him, some how. He could have a clean slate, even though his slate was rather clean back in Paris to begin with.

Kayne was top of his class back in Paris, and he’s afraid that his GPA might not be as good here in Toronto, as it was back in Paris. But Kayne loves a little competition, and he’s up for whatever Toronto has to throw at him. Kayne hasn’t exactly made friends, he hasn’t had the time. Though he would like to be very settled into Toronto by the beginning of his 2nd semester, Kayne isn’t so sure if that’ll be happening.
