[Main Character]
Her mom enrolled her in a private school filled with rich kids, wanting her daughter to get the best education after working her ass off to pay the high price. Luana never asked for it, but at least she had high enough grades for the school to ignore that they aren't getting more than 40k a year (give or take). She gets bullied and outcasted after kids find out that she tends to stalk guys she likes, being a weirdo with other kids, and being pathetic and desperate. At first, I thought about her being arrested for it, but I didn't want her story to end that fast. Or, at all.
Luana tends to be very dramatic sometimes, but the bullying does get to her, causing her to bed rot for multiple days and stay in her room until she feels like she got over it. Luana being a stalker isn't her main personality, but a strong one. During the first and half years of starting at this new and prestigious school, she was a perfectly "normal" girl, just trying to fit in. But, after people noticed her skills in photography and searching for information, they would ask her to find out more about certain kids in the school, causing her to stalk people for personal details of their crushes, enemies, and stuff like that. She hesitated at first, but went with it, desperate to fit in. Then, after some time, she ended up down this hole of stalking people for her benefit, causing people to see her as a freak and avoid her.
She tends to argue with her mom about cleaning her room but only does it after she is promised more junk food.
The girl doesn't shower over the weekends. Yes, she smells when she doesn't and almost gets hosed down by her mom after being dragged out of her bedroom. But, normally she smells like brand new t-shirts or, occasionally, salted candies.
Before she met Keith, she used to stalk the guys she found cute enough and take pictures of them doing their daily tasks, even after being threatened by their friends or girlfriends to stop. Mostly everyone knew that she was some weirdo girl who stalked guys, but it is well-known that she is quite weak and bruises appear easily on her pale skin.
Following up on the previous bullet point, she can punch hard. But, that's it. Can't really "fight" for her life, lmao.
After meeting Keith for the first time, she was pretty rude to him and was suspicious as to why he treated her nicely after telling him to kill himself every day. So, she stalked him, trying to prove herself right that someone dared him to act like this to her or had bad intentions like the other kids at school. Well, that was quickly proven wrong when she just ended up watching him for several hours doing farm work for his family, and it slowly clicked in her mind that he is kind of stupid with new technology. Plus, she got a chance to watch a farmboy sweat under the sun in a tank top, so it was a plus for her view. And that's how she got a crush on him. It's not one sided, but she doesn't know that.
[Side character]
Nate likes to tease and embarrass Luana, doing anything he can to piss her off when he is bored. There are times when he talks to her as normally as anyone could with that "grumpy ass bitch", but they seem to be okay. Since she knows people put them together all the time, she has to make it clear every day that she doesn't even want to think about kissing him. Why? "I'd rather cut myself a hundred times then go jump into salt water with lemons." She would never do that, but you get the point. It does hurt his ego a bit that she doesn't find him attractive, despite having a common taste in fashion and music taste, but he doesn't care that much.
Nate becomes the second new kid in school, being the "Other Emo Kid" when people realize that his fashion style is somewhat similar to Luana's. But, he tends to stylize his clothing, being "more emo" than her. She's scared of his confidence to even look like that outside of his home without being insecure.
He's a little flirtatious, but not to an insane degree. Most of the time, he has a cool personality, not showing off his emotions too much with that sick, smug-ass grin. Many people want to wipe it off, but some want to do it with their mouths.
He is constantly put with Luana since they would make the "perfect weird emo couple", but he's not exactly interested in her like that. But, he doesn't mind it, enjoying the sight of her face growing red in anger and embarrassment when people ask them to kiss. But, he doesn't enjoy it when he gets a kick to the groin every time he laughs at her flustered state.
His parents are both working out of the country from time to time. His mother is a fashion designer, making her brand known globally. Meanwhile, his dad is working as an accountant representative.
He gets his smug attitude from his mom and the silky, dark locks of hair from his father. Both of his parents have no idea how he managed to pierce his face while they were gone, but are too busy to care.
[Side character]
Zannie shares a swimming and gym class with Luana, so they normally meet up in the locker room before and after those classes. Which is why Zannie got to see Luana's boobs before Keith did. By accident, of course. Zannie scared the girl out of her towel after showering off that chlorine and sweat. Because of their opposite personalities, a gloomy girl and a bubbly girl, they tend to clash with their ideas and interests. Especially with outfits, since Zannie barely wears dark clothing if it doesn't have some color to it, while Luana "dresses like she's going to a hardcore funeral".
Zannie is a sort of popular girl at school, being the track team's number one girl for scoring trophies and a complete social butterfly, she has made a reputation of herself being a sporty sweetheart.
She wants to be friends with Luana, just to see how Keith managed to make that girl not spit out insults and rude comments immediately at him after a while of getting to know each other. But, her attempts are always cut short or straight up "fuck off". Thank goodness that never stopped her, since she's stubborn like her parents.
No, she doesn't like Keith Romantically. But, she can understand why when she finds out Luana likes him way more than just a (big quotes) "friend". She tries her best to help Luana be more bold and confident with her crush, even giving her makeovers after begging her to sleep over at her house "as girlfriends do!". The makeovers never end well.
Her father is a CEO of a construction company while her mother is a chief surgeon, which means she isn't home as much as her father. But, she still calls and makes the effort to come home when she can.
Zannie's white hair comes from her grandmother on her mother's side, being a shiny silver/white. It is not dyed.
Wanted to have Luana not be insecure about her body, only to do it wrong.
Horrible ending to a sleepover-makeover. Luana hates this outfit and makeup and EVERYTHING. Too bad Zannie doesn't/ can't seem to understand why, since "the outfit looks so cute on you!"
I have drawn adult Luana separately before, but I'll show that some other time.
In the future, I like to think Zannie went to work under her dad's company, possibly as a Executive or Manager.
I AM!
I am planning and writing out a comic series about Luana and stuff, I even made two separate websites to properly space out what and where I want to put things!
But, either later in this month or year, there should be at least two sections (It is what I am calling the volumes :3) uploaded!
