Antonia is a strange child to say the least. An avid reader, she prefers books over the company of other children. She spends most of her days in the books store around the corner from her house, sitting in her comfy chair and adventuring with heroes and villains, demons and quarky detectives. Antonia has always been content spending her childhood days in solitude. When Isaiah shows up, she is surprised to find a similarly strange personality, and a best friend. Together, with their wild imaginations, Antonia and Isaiah experience childhood as it should be; outside, inside, scraping knees and climbing trees, building pillow forts and most importantly, reading books. Together.

peculiar - (adj.) strange or odd; unusual "There are two things more Peculiar than anything I've ever seen. The first is time. It goes by so fast, we take it for granted, don't even think about it, really. But you, Antonia, you're the second one. You really are something Peculiar." Antonia Somnusson was, like her brother Horace, a peculiar child. She had a similar peculiarity to her brother's; he could see the future, and she could see the past. They'd been separated as children, Antonia had been taken to a different Loop than her brother. But, when he sees that if she doesn't leave she'll be in danger, he begs Miss Peregrine to rescue her. Unfortunately, when they get to her, it's too late; the Loop has been raided, the ymbryne captured and every peculiar murdered. Except for Antonia. She must learn to get past the horrific sight she saw, while learning to deal with something even more horrifying: love. >< I do not own any characters except for Antonia and Reggie, and any other minor characters I create along the way. >< Characters are going to be the age that they are in the film, because even though they changed a lot I actually really liked the cast. So, Enoch is gonna be like, 17. At least, he's gonna look like it >< WILL MOSTLY FOLLOW THE BOOKS EXCEPT FOR AGES >< I have made pictures to go along with the books, like Ransom Riggs did. They will be posted with the chapter they're used in.

It was torturous, and before I would ever get to confess it, another came along who dared to be braver than me and fell in love with her and all that she was too, my older brother Ben. Ben was sensible enough to propose and claim her for eternity with a band of gold and a seal in our temple, all at the tender age of eighteen. Our church, you know that infamous one in Utah? Yeah that one. Their wedding day would mark the day I left Utah, the church and my family, the month I announced I was gay and was sent away... there was no room for gay here...and in turn no room for me. Allie wouldn't understand, my absence, or my silence...and five years would pass...painfully for us both. Allie had a child, I went to college, feelings got left buried, but thoughts were daily, and she never left my mind...not for a day, and what I didn't know was that she was in that same place...lost and waiting for me to return. And I would return... one christmas five years later... and with me every feeling and emotion resurrected. Our teens were only the beginning because the journey to Alberta was about to span through our twenties and into our thirties. A journey home. *** Willa Jameson.

When life gives you lemons, throw it back and demand chocolate. '"Sweet baby Satan!" I screamed, accidentally gaining the attention of the murderers. Act natural, Arya. "Did you just shoot them?!" I mentally face-palmed. So much for acting natural, "Why did you do that? Holy cheese balls that's a lot of blood." I swallowed, willing my legs to do something goddammit. But they refused to cooperate. ' Arya McKenzie is a bright seventeen year old with a knack of getting into trouble. Her only friend is her younger brother. One day, Arya was walking home- completely soaked- when she decides to take a shortcut through an alleyway. Bad idea. She sees five scary boys kill three other slightly-less-scary men. Instead of running away or screaming like a normal person, she begins to ramble to said five scary boys. Instead of letting her go, however, they kidnap her. Rude. Join Arya as she navigates through a world of skittles, llamas and finding help in the most unexpected places. "I know I'm gorgeous but no need to stare. If you want an autograph, just ask."
