Serenity Reed is the ultimate people-pleaser. From the time she was born, she worked to become the perfect, straight-A, obedient daughter her parents wanted while maintaining her close and over-protective relationship with her black sheep of a younger brother, Rylan. This worked out better than anyone thought it would until high school, when Rylan discovered cocaine and Serenity discovered a whole different kind of drug: boys. Or rather, one boy. They were the high school sweethearts that everyone loved to be jealous of save for one tiny fault: he was abusive. blinded by love, Renny-poo covered for him until the one day her brother caught him in the act and went ape-shit on him. After that, Ren was sent to a boarding school in NYC, where they had some family. After graduation, Serenity returned to South Carolina solely for her brother and attended community college. After that, though, she didn't know what to do and took up a managing job at the Gap, watching as all of her old high school friends came in with their high-powered husbands and brand-wearing babies. Unsurprisingly, it wasn't all that difficult for some of her friends to convince her to apply for a job on Poseidon.

( FRIENDS )

Serenity really is a genuinely nice person. She's likely to have many friends; that is, she certainly wants many friends. She can't stand the idea of people not liking her, after all. She's very loyal and hates fighting of any kind, whether it involves her or not. She's pretty bubbly and always up for having fun. She's also the maternal type who's likely to bake you cookies and clean your house for you when you're sick. So yeah, she'll have a lot of friends. Not too many close friends, though, because she's a very private person. She doesn't like to talk about her past, and she's ruined a lot of friendships by not opening up to others as much as they open up to her.

( ENEMIES )

Much to Renny's chagrin, there probably will be people who don't like her. She's afraid of confrontation, and when she does get mad, she takes a passive-aggressive approach to solving her problems. She also does whatever she can to make people like her, which can often lead to her saying contradictory things to people and seeming fake. She's also extremely anti-drug (but not anti-alcohol) because she's seen the effects they can have on her brother as well as the effects they've had on her family, and makes little effort to mask her opinion on such illegal substances. So she might not have many full-blown enemies, especially since it's incredibly difficult for her to hold a grudge (even when she should), but there will most likely be people who don't like her or who are annoyed by her and people she doesn't like as well.

( LOVE )

Despite how messed up she subconsciously knows it is, Serenity is in fact still in love with her ex-boyfriend from high school and hasn't seriously dated since then. She's gone on dates when urged by her friends, and she's been interested in people, but she's never made it to a third date. She is, in fact, still in contact with the ex, and this has considerably prolonged her hopes that they have a future together. Of course, she hasn't told him about the one night stand she had one night on the ship when she got more than just "a little bit tipsy," nor has she told anyone else, for that matter. It's a source of shame for her, but who's to say it can't happen again? And while it's possible that she could fall for someone else, it's highly doubtful that anything serious could occur until she gets some sort of closure with her ex, one way or the other.

SERENITY & NAOMI

Since they are both very loving people, I feel these two would get along pretty well. Sorry I don't have more for you right now. I am a woman of few words tonight. XD

[SERENITY ALISON REED]

serenity & naomi

They definitely could be good friends. They both seem like such sweethearts. And they can bond over the fact that their parents more or less disowned both of them or something, I dunno. xD

[SPENCER RITA KELLY]

renity & spencer

Honestly, do we even have to plot these two at this point? xD BFFs, hurr durr!

ren-ren & holden

She's definitely one of his favorites, if you can call what holden has favorites. He loves pranking her and like I said, it'll be totally harmless. They're even something like friends. xD

serenity & grace

(Ha, I like seeing their names together. It sounds so virtuous.) I get the feeling like Grace would not be impressed by Serenity's need to please others. I can see her being disgusted by Serenity, actually and just completely dismissing her. Grace can be a total hard-ass. But--but--what if Grace stumbles upon a drunk Serenity one night when Spencer or whoever else isn't around? I imagine at first, Grace would be all, -sneer- "You're pathetic," and so on, but she has a heart and she'd probably feel obliged to make sure Serenity got back to her room safe and sound and didn't vomit on the deck or something. Maybe a friendship could bud from that. Grace warms up to people more easily when she sees them when they're vulnerable. Seeing Serenity like that would make her realize that the girl's life isn't perfect and that she needs some help, just like the rest of them. Maybe Ren could teach her to be nicer. :3

LOL, okay, lemme elaborate. They're both sweet people who aim to please. And unlike sleazy guys, Tristan wouldn't be after sex or anything and wouldn't fuck Serenity up in the head any more than she already is. And Ren's not like other girls Tristan's been interested; she wouldn't be terribly cruel to him. I have a hilarious set-up for this in my mind. Say Spencer tries flirting with Tristan and he's like, "Uh, sorry, you look too much like my godsister," and so she's all -_- 'cause she just got turned down--by a virgin. That never happens! xD So anyway, she's like, WAIT I KNOW JUST WHO TO SET YOU UP WITH (but of course, she doesn't say this out loud) and runs back to Renity and is like OMG YOU WOULD BE SO CUTE WITH TRISTAN. And she sets them up on a date and it goes so well blah blah blah they're so freaking cute blah blah blah. So nothing romantically serious happens, but they kinda click and so they start hanging out a bit and flirting and obvi, Tristan will write and play her songs. :3 Okay, fast forward. They're still kinda going on dates and nothing serious has happened and Tristan kinda wants something serious to happen and I have this idea (that of course involves Renity being drunk--I love drunk scenes, if you haven't guessed by now xD) where Tristan either finds Ren drunk with bottle in hand (or she could find him; either way's good) and he hates it so he tries to wrestle the bottle out of her hand and when he finally manages to get the bottle away from her lips...he kisses her! AWJDKLWJLDLKSJL.

OKAY. Moving on. So then maybe he makes sure she gets back to her room safely and in the morning, she may or may not remember this kiss and then IDKWHATHAPPENSFROMTHERE, but I don't think this will be a terribly serious or lasting relationship, you know? They'd just be very cute. I'd want them to end on good terms and be friends~ though. :3

Wow, that was a lot.

[SERENITY ALISON REED]

serenity & spencer

DOOD, do you remember when we tried to make them not like each other? Look how well that went. :P

serenity & holden

Yep, she'll go back and forth between pissed off prankee to disapproving but teasing friend-type-thing, and he'll just laugh his ass off the whole time, hahahaha.

serenity & grace

I mucho like this idea. Before they begin to get an understanding of each other, Renny could like practically follow Grace around, trying to get her to like her, and whining to Spencer about how -gasp- SOMEONE DOESN'T THINK SHE'S FRAKKING ADORABLE OH MY JEEBUS THE WORLD'S COMING TO AN END and annoy Grace even more. I like how all of Serenity's vulnerable moments are when she's drunk. She's such an emotional drunk, haha. But they have to end up friends so they can be the ironic virtuous buddies!

serenity & tristan

I love every part of your idea. I don't know how you do it. Probably by staying up until 4:30 in the damn morning (yeah, I can see what time you posted this!). :P I definitely don't think they're long-term material, but it would be enough to show Serenity that there are other good guys out there, and it would show Tristan that there are girls out there who can like him as more than a friend. AWWW~ :3

[SPENCER RITA KELLY]

renity & spencer

Haha, I was just thinking about that, actually. Wow, that was dumb idea that never worked. xD

ren-ren & holden

-claps as she jumps up and down from side to side-

serenity & grace

Oh my god, Grace would definitely want to strangle her then, haha. She'd probably actually snap and shout at Serenity if it got to such a point (which I imagine it will xD). But yay for eventual friendship of virtue! :P

serenity & tristan

I CAN'T HELP THAT I'M A NIGHT OWL~ But yes, exactly. <3 Maybe I'll bring Tristan into the IC one day. He's becoming more and more socially daring with each day. xD

[KAITLIN SUMMER PHOENIX]

kaitlin & serenity,

SUP YO? uhm.. do I really need to plot here?

[SERENITY ALISON REED]

serenity & kaitlin

-squeals and jumps up and down- OHMAHGAAAAAAAAAAWD!
Nope, I don't see plotting being much of a problem. Yay, reunions! :D
