Name: Ava Katherine Mitchell

Age: 20

Nickname: "Aves" (used by close friends), "Kat" (family only)

Birthday: October 12

Looks:

Family:
Mother: Lauren Mitchell, high school English teacher (supportive, perfectionist tendencies)
Father: Daniel Mitchell, civil engineer (quiet, practical, encouraging in a subtle way)
Younger brother: Ethan Mitchell, 16, high school sophomore, annoyingly playful but protective of Ava in his own way

Family dynamic: Close-knit but slightly reserved; values education and stability, lots of unspoken care rather than emotional outbursts

Personality:
Ava is introspective, observant, and emotionally intelligent, often picking up on things others miss. She's calm under pressure but tends to overthink decisions when alone. Around friends, she's warm, sarcastic, and surprisingly funny in a dry, understated way. She struggles with perfectionism and self-imposed expectations, but she's deeply loyal and shows love through actions rather than words. She's the type to remember small details about people and use them to make them feel seen.

"Cal" (used by close friends and teammates)

home
Personality:

Ethan is the quiet, protective type who always seems aware of what's happening around him. Loyal to a fault, he instinctively puts himself between the people he cares about and anything that could hurt them, often taking on their burdens without being asked. He is reserved and difficult to get close to, but once someone earns his trust, he becomes fiercely devoted and sometimes a little possessive. His jealousy is usually subtle rather than explosive, showing through watchful glances, tense silence, or a sudden need to be near the person he cares about when someone else gets too close. Calm, observant, and dependable under pressure, Ethan rarely loses control of his emotions, though he has a habit of bottling things up and handling problems alone. Beneath his guarded exterior is a dry sense of humor and a deep fear of losing the people who matter most to him, which often fuels his protective and territorial instincts.
