Hello! My name’s Elizabeth. I’m into all things fashion and design. I love to sew, although currently I only know how to do it by hand. Designing things is what I specialize in, & putting outfits together for other members of the dorm is how I spend most of my time. :) 

I room with the twins, who are quite a handful, but make me smile nonetheless.

Kaya here. I’m one of the older girls, and I help out around the dorm with Lissie a lot. I love being outdoors and playing sports. I’m a quieter girl and I usually do a lot of thinking and just standing in the background. You learn a lot that way, I’ve found. I room with MK, & Marie, though I often just crash in the living room.

I’m McKenna, though I only ever answer to MK. I’m a fangirl in the purest form, and I’m afraid I don’t ever shut up about the things I love. I’m very much like our caretaker, and music is what my life tends to revolve around.

 Willow here!  I’m twin sisters with Charlie; we’d be identical if she grew her hair out longer and had bangs. People tend to confuse us even though we look nothing alike. 

Cooking my one true passion, and I'm fairly good at it, if I do say so myself. I'm famous for my s'mores, and every Christmas season, I make dozens of them for the dorm. Besides cooking I enjoy reading, and gardening. 

I room with Charlie, and Elizabeth.

Helloooo! I'm Charlie! I’m the twin sister of Willow, and even though we look nothing alike (thank goodness) we tend to get mistaken for each other. 

I love to read, do brainteasers, and write stories. I’m kind of a nerd, I suppose. I excel in all subjects in school, and I’m the girl everybody goes to when they have a problem. Becoming a published author is my biggest aspiration in life.

Hi, it's Saige! 

There’s no other way to describe me than as a total horse junkie. My cousin is Lissie; we both love to ride and work with horses. To be fair, I enjoy animals of all types, and I tend to have a special way with them all. I’d love to be an animal trainer someday.

Hey guys. I’m Finley, but you can call me Fin if you want. I just recently came here, and wow, is it strange being in a dorm with 10 girls. I’m originally from Scotland; it’s quite odd being in a foreign country, but I’m getting used to it. My sister is Clara. Our parents separated a while back and Clara went with our mom to England while I resided in Scotland. We were reunited when she came to attend school here and stay in the dorm. 

I’m a quiet person, although not to the point where I won’t ever talk. I love science, and I’m often doing experiments or outdoors examining stuff. I’m not that sporty but I do enjoy basketball, and skateboarding with McKenna.

Why hello there! My name is Clara Oswald Creed, and I’m from “across the pond” as my friends say. My brother is Finley, who I adore, although sometimes he does make me want to tear my hair out. 

I’m a slightly dramatic, old-time loving person. I love all things historical and ancient, and I adore old movies. I’m quite dramatic at times, and I love to laugh a lot. The stage is where I belong. I’m incredibly intrigued by characters and the behind the scenes processes of things fascinates me.
