DESDEMONA PROUST ,
this is mona! most people, both in montréal and around the world, know who she is, because she just so happens to be a very famous actress and singer. although in interviews she tends to come off as a nice, bubbly person, the reality is far from it; mona is one of the bitchiest girls one could ever meet. she looks at life as if it’s a movie and the people – mere characters – are there to be analyzed. when she can’t understand a person she only gets more interested in figuring them out, and when she can understand a person she gets bored of them. oh, and she was adopted by the proust family shortly after her birth, and she has no clue that her mother – karen lisbon – is actually her parents’ housekeeper. currently, she’s in a relationship with sebastian lane, who she met during her first semester at mcgill university (about two years ago), but she’s cheating on him with jared carmichael, her agent’s twenty-two year old son. she probably would have a lot of friends who just hang around her because she’s famous, but don’t expect mona to think they’re genuine – she’ll be able to see right through anyone’s façade very easily. and, being the bitchy person she is, mona will have probably accumulated a lot of enemies over the years.

CORA WEST ,
okay, so cora is basically one of the most upbeat girls in the world. she’s almost always happy, due to her extremely positive outlook on life. she’s originally from los angeles, and she moved to new york during her junior year of university after a particularly bad break-up with her boyfriend of the past three years, pete. she finished her degree at nyu, which is where she met her current best friend, topher lane. the two are basically in love with one another, but no one really has to guts to tell the other one (mostly for fear of ruining their friendship in case things don’t turn out okay). she moved to montréal very recently for a couple of reasons: one, topher moved to montréal to study for his masters degree at mcgill university, and two, her cousin lorraine told her about a french-language zombie movie filming in the area that was looking for extras. cora is obsessed with zombie movies, so she jumped at the chance to actually appear in one – oh, and she missed topher and all. currently, she works at scarborough’s, an upscale restaurant in downtown, with her arch-nemesis andy doyle. cora would probably have a lot of friends considering that she’s so nice, and maybe just a few enemies. cora doesn’t really believe in holding grudges or being mean to anyone (except andy, because andy isn’t just anyone), so even if she did have any enemies, she would attempt to make nice with them quickly.

MAX LANE ,
max is like, seth cohen and chuck bartowski and topher lane all together. he’s obsessed with comic books and has this dream to one day open up his own comic book store and possibly write his own comic, but alas, he doesn’t feel as if he has the potential to actually succeed. currently, he works at the local copy kingdom location in montréal, having moved to the city only a few months ago when his older brother, topher, moved for school. the two now share an apartment near the university. he also has two other siblings – an younger sister named lois (yes. her name is lois lane. and no, she’s not a journalist) and a younger brother named sebastian. he’s got a huge crush on fellow montréal resident, sonja maly, but is pretty much too scared to try and talk to her. max probably wouldn’t have many friends because he’s kind of socially inept, but the few that he did have would probably be just as geeky as he is. he also wouldn’t have many enemies, because in addition to being completely socially inept, he’s also scared of confrontation. so he probably wouldn’t get into a fight with anyone.

LILY YORK ,
this is lily! she’s sonja maly’s half sister and a montréal native. she works in a starbucks in downtown, and is, basically, the nicest person you will ever meet – even nicer than cora, who is pretty nice. the difference is that lily never actually is mean to people – like, ever. seriously, even if she’s mad at someone, she won’t even show it at all – she’ll just begrudgingly put on a smile and move on with things, because she absolutely hates confrontation. one could say that this makes her a peaceful soul, but they’d be absolutely wrong; all this bottled up rage is just about ready to make lily explode. not literally, of course, but she’s pretty much geared for a major meltdown sometime soon. unfortunately for everyone around her, this meltdown is going to come in the form of a homicidal alternate personality going by the name of leona – the same name of lily’s older sister, who was tragically killed when she was hit by a car two years ago. there is a particular reason why lily’s mind has unconsciously chosen leona to embody its second personality, and that’s one that no one – not even lily herself – knows. lily was actually behind the wheel of the car that hit and killed leona. lily has no recollection of the actual event, and the police even arrested someone else for the hit-and-run. having repressed this memory for so long, lily’s mind pretty much went crazy and developed the alternate personality in the form of leona that embodies all of her bottled up rage. leona tends to only come out when lily is feeling particularly stressed, and the events following aren’t pretty – leona has the tendency to kill anyone who poses even a small threat to lily. lily has no clue about this other personality and, understandably, she’s starting to get a little freaked out that she seems to be forgetting hours of her day; when leona is in control, lily has no recollection of anything that happens during that period of time. additionally, lily is hallucinating some occasional appearances of leona, but she’s been too scared to tell anyone about it. she’d probably have a lot of friends considering that she’s so nice, and there should be someone who she trusts enough to tell them that she’s been having hallucinations of her dead sister. as for enemies, i can’t really imagine that she’d have many since she’s so nice – but there can be a couple of people who dislike her because it’d be pretty impossible for someone to be liked by everyone.

STEVE LONDON ,
steve is so elusive that his past is really unknown to…well, everyone. he himself hardly ever talks about it. in fact, he himself hardly ever talks about anything – he just likes to listen. some might call him shy, but the truth is that he just likes to study people. anyway, he’s a taxicab driver in montréal who can’t afford a bluetooth earpiece so he just duct tapes his cell phone to his right ear when he’s driving. he’s hardly ever talking on it, though – sometimes he pretends to be talking to someone because…well, it makes him feel like he has more friends. oh, and steve just so happens to be a beacon of knowledge when it comes to the major gossip in town, mostly because people tend to tell him things when he’s driving them to their destinations. it’s like taxicab confessions: montréal edition! kinda.
relationships ,
steve knows everyone. the end.
GEMMA BURTON ,
gemma came from a rather strict family in north carolina and had a pretty normal upbringing – along with her older sister, ace, gemma had a good childhood. that is, until she turned sixteen and her parents were brutally murdered. ace, being eighteen and completely devastated about her parents’ deaths ran off to new york, and poor gemma was left to trek from foster home to foster home until she turned eighteen. understandably, she pretty much hates her sister for abandoning her. now twenty-five, gemma works in a home depot in montréal, having moved to canada after she turned twenty-two. oh, and gemma has a little problem when it comes to romantic relationships – she really only falls in love with married men. but personality-wise, gemma is a happy, upbeat girl. she’s smart, but she was never able to go to university because of a lack of money to fund attending.

CHLOÉ LEMON ,
this is chloé! whoever has ever seen angel or buffy the vampire slayer will be pretty familiar with this pb – charisma carpenter played cordelia chase in both those shows. chloé is kind of a similar to cordelia in the sense that they're both materialistic bitches that lost their fortunes, but the two characters are actually quite different. while cordelia was actually humbled by losing all of her money, chloé is will definitely not be. although she's trying to be nicer, she's really just a tactless bitch at heart. she doesn't take crap from anyone, she doesn't listen to anyone, and she's very stubborn. although she can easily be a good friend, chloé will always think of herself before she thinks of others.
