The Pros & Cons of Falling in Love

Notes, Characters, Media, & Timeline

Uhhh. I know a lot of people on here like to assign real people who "play" their characters. I can't really do that, at least not for my main character. Instead, I'll describe her for you and include a picture of what she kinda looks like face-wise. I'm old enough to remember forums and Quizilla and whatnot so we're doin' this survey style.

Name: Amelie Blanchard.
Nickname: Lea.
Age at start of fic: 20; the fic takes place in early December.
Birthday: April 30th.
Nationality: American, of Cajun descent.
Place of birth: New Orleans, Louisiana.
Hometown: Raleigh, North Carolina.
Height: 5'3/4" (and she will insist upon that 3/4").
Weight: not skinny, more curvy. Think Billie Eilish. Is that how you spell her last name? Whatever, I'm too lazy to Google it.
Hair: long, dark red, very curly.
Eyes: brown, almost black. If you look very closely, they have light brown flecks.
Family: mother Rosalie. Older sister Angeline ("Lina"), younger sister Ariana ("Ari"). Her dad isn't around. I know lots of people have bad relationships with their family members, but the Blanchards have got enough going on with their dad being such a dickhead it's a good thing he's an absentee father, and after the experiences of her mother and the way Lea and her sisters were raised, they're all rather close and genuinely enjoy being around each other. Like, Lea's support group is primarily made up of her family.
Occupation: sophomore in college studying costume design. Used to have a part time job at a fancy designer store where she tailored clothes, but had to quit after being spotted with Timothée. It wasn't too bad, to be honest, but she's a pretty anxious person and hit the metaphorical escape button as soon as someone at work was like, "hey is this you" and showed her a picture of herself and Tim, so...
Hobbies: drawing, history, sewing, embroidery, anything fashion-related. She's somewhat involved in fandom culture, but not very much. Mostly generic stuff. She particularly likes Game of Thrones and gets very excited about the costumes. Her favorite character, in case you were wondering, is Daenerys, and she's still pissed about the ending (because she has a brain).

Next, obviously, is our favorite half Fae/half god, Timothée Chalamet. Just in case you're a poor and unfortunate soul and forgot, here's what he looks like. He meets Lea in September of 2021.
