Let's go!!! This is the first character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, Amy - the story's central character.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

A sixteen-year old highchool student, Amy Millihan moved back to her eerie childhood hometown - Vinethorn Grove - with her older brother after the death of their toxic grandmother left them with only debt, forcing them to leave the big city - where they'd lived for almost a decade - and go back to their long since abandoned roots. What she expected to be a calm clean slate for the two of them during the peaceful vacation period of the Harvest Break, swiftly takes a darker turn as an ancient curse and a string of mysterious murders/disappearances begins to unravel, revealing that, underneath the small town's apparently normal surface lie bloody, and paranormal, secrets. With the lives of her and everyone she cares about on the line, finding a way to thwart this ancient curse and defeat the Mayor's corrupt family traditions, may be their only chance to survive.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - She/Her Age - Sixteen Appearance - Amy has long, wavy brown hair, which she usually keeps loose or - on rare occasions - tied into a ponytail or braid. She is average height, and usually favors pastel clothes with fun patterns, especially long sleeve shirts (the kind that the sleeve is a difference color/hue than the shirt's body) and light denim pants, and usually wears purple sneakers with star patches, being a big fun of space themed stuff. She usually rides a pastel yellow bike with a straw basket, and sometimes has her backpack on her to carry things she needs. Amy has a self defense baseball bat she takes with her when investigating or going places she deems unsafe.

General Dislikes/Hates:

Prejudiced people who treat others as lesser just because they don't understand them. That also includes small-minded people, especially elders who think that anything that strays from 'tradition' is bad or not good enough.

Anyone who makes a big deal out of something simple that could easily be solved or explained otherwise without much of a fuss.

People who spread harmful or unwanted humors about others, especially if the intent is to discredit them.

Feeling unsafe or uncertain about a situation or about a certain outcome, worrying that something out of her control might go wrong.

People wasting money like its nothing - reminds her of Edith and not in a good way.

Amy despises Mrs Draycott with the strenght of a thousand suns and hopes that 50-year old creep rots in the hell she must've crawled out of 💀🔥

Another person Amy hates is Zach's stepfather (when she learns about the boy's past), and she has VERY GOOD REASONS to.

Excessive summer heat or when the sun is too bright

Another character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, this time for Dylan Millihan - Amy's brother.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

Amy's older brother, a very introverted and seriou 23-year old, Dylan was once a medical student, but after their grandmother died leaving them only debt, he had to dropout in order to take legal guardianship of Amy as they moved back to Vinethorn Grove. He resents their grandmother - Edith - greatly, both for the fact she was an absent figure in their life but because her gambling habits ruined his plans for the future. As of the start of the story, Dylan's especially withdrawn from anybody who isn't Amy, both due to the pressure of finding the jobs he needs to pay the bills and keep them afloat (while still paying their grandmother's debt) and because all that the small town of Vinethorn Grove has done since their arrival has been spreading harmful rumors and making his life even more complicated than it already was - especially after a local middle-aged woman, the 50-year-old Mrs Draycott, gets an unhealthy crush on him and, feeling spurned, sets off to destroy his life. When Amy and her newfound friends start investigating the town's bloody mysteries he is initially wary and against the idea of them digging into the Mayor's corrupt little secrets, but upon realizing that the teens would continue the investigation whether he liked it or not, Dylan decides to help them out in the search - if only to protect Amy, and begrudgingly, her friends.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - He/Him Age - 23 Appearance - Tall and handsome, with long wavy hazel hair, which is styled in a way vaguely reminiscent of a mix of the 80s and early 2000s. He favors black button up shirts (and usually doesn't have the patience to button the last 3 to 4 buttons near the collar), simple dark denim jeans, black leather boots and a simple leather braid bracelet that he always wears. His usual expression is a tired scowl, both because he doesn't get nearly as much sleep as he should but also because he is the most introverted person in town and feels uncomfortable interacting with strangers.

Personality Types:

📸Enneagram: 8w9

📸MBTI: ISTJ

Occupation: Former Medical Student (had to drop out because of their grandmother's death + to take guardianship of Amy), now works 3 jobs - security guard at a lake resort, delivery driver and warehouse loader

Place of Birth: Vinethorn Grove (moved away to a big city when he was thirteen, after their parents died, moved back into town - now 23 - along with his younger sister, Amy)

Orientation: Straight

🎞️ Personal Life 🎞️

Family:

Amy Millihan - Younger Sister and Legal Ward

Status: Alive

Age: 16

Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Paranormal Investigator & Enthusiast

Relationship: Good, (but deep down he worries that he isn't good enough/thinks he is failing her and feels their relationship isn't the same as it was when they were kids and wrongfully thinks its his fault, which leads to him being withdrawn and a bit combative about his feelings)

Laura Millihan (neè Hartwell) & Jeremy Millihan - Parents

Status: Deceased (have been for a decade now) Ages: (Laura) 35 at the time of death, (Jeremy) 36 at the time of death; Occupations: (Laura) Civil Engineer & Interior Designer, (Jeremy) Veterinarian and Artist Cause of Death: Undisclosed Freak Accident Relationship: Good but short-lived

Edith Millihan - Paternal Grandmother, Former Guardian

Status: Deceased (recently) Age: 80 Occupation: Widow (inherited her husband's fortune - as he had been a wealthy businessman), Compulsive Gambler Cause of Death: Heart Attack Relationship: Bad (Edith was an absent and toxic grandmother and often left Dylan to raise Amy when the two were kids because the old woman used to spend the entire day at the casino + was strongly emotionally abusive to him growing up because he reminded her of her late son and she couldn't handle that. She also spent all their money - including both of the siblings' college funds - gambling, which Dylan greatly resents her for)

Best Friends/Allies:

Christine Nespor:

Status: Alive Age: 22 Occupation: Freelance Artist, Artisan/DIY-er, Former Wanderer, Aspiring Poet, works from home + works at a local craft store as well Relationship: Good - at first Dylan was wary of her, as he is of any strangers, and thought she was 'a lot'/overwhelming due to her extroverted nature, but as they got to know each other they became best friends and love interests.

🎞️ Likes & Dislikes 🎞️

Hobbies/Interests:

Watching horror movies with Amy - whenever he's not too tired or worried about something too pressing.

Driving around on his old Chevy, especially to clear his mind

Drinking coffee, especially espressos or cappucinnos. He drinks a lot of coffee, by the way, probably more than it would be healthy.

Being alone with his thoughts, just chilling out, preferably somewhere quiet where no strangers will come to bother him

Swimming in the lake

Shadowboxing, when he has the time

Reading medieval fantasy books, especially gritty ones, or detective thriller stories of the vintage kind

Playing puzzle games on his phone, while listening to folk pop

Additional Favorites (extra list here):

Music: Folk Pop, Indie/Alternative Pop

Person (his 'comfort people'): Mostly only Amy, but after he gets closer to Christine I'd say she becomes one of his favorite people as well.

Candy: Coffee Toffees or Mint Bubblegum

Place: 1. His room, 2. Their Lakehouse, (much later) 3. Christine's Treehouse Home

Fictional Creature: Cerberus, Dragons

Scent: Coffee, Shaving Cream and Dry Leaves

General Dislikes/Hates:

Mrs Draycott. For gods sake this woman is the human incarnation of the devil, she makes his life a living hell - both when she was "infatuated" with him (literally stalking him) and especially during her vengeful advances after he rejects her. She's the bane of his existence and there's few people he hates more.

Being unable to make ends meet or pay the bills, or especially, having to deal with the debt collectors that come knocking on his door.

People who try to scratch his Chevy or who almost bump into it with their own cars while being reckless.

Blackmail and people who try to use his insecurities against him.

Anything that puts Amy in danger or which makes him feel he has somehow failed her, that is his worst nightmare.

Memories of his grandmother - they always make him angry and upset, especially since her debt is a constant reminder of everything he couldn't achieve because of her and the dreams he had to leave behind.

Spending money trivially.

Being late to something important - both job wise and in his personal life.

Strangers who pry into his life and who make snide comments that aren't welcome - or worse, who judge them and tell him what he should 'do instead'. Nothing irks him out more.

Annoying noises/too much noises when he has a headache.

Having to handle too much at the same time when he's in a bad mood.

Another character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, this time for Zach Taylors - Amy's best friend and boyfriend.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

The first friend Amy made after returning to Vinethorn Grove, Zach Taylors is a goth teenager ran away from home to escape his abusive stepfather who lives in a neighbouring town, so now Zach secretly lives in an abandoned cabin he found near the woods - he may be homeless, but according to himself, he has never felt more free, or more safe. He and Amy were an instantly match made in chaos heaven, having been friends ever since they bumped into each other on the chilly autumn evening of the day she'd moved back into town. A certified troublemaker, Zach is still a gentleman and possibly the kindestkid in town, despite his kooky and eccentric personality. He loves alternative music, often ones matching with his improvised grunge/goth style, and can often be found either skateboarding around town or reading books - which he steals from the local library - on the outskirts of the woods, near the lake. Amy's brother, Dylan, is a bit wary of him, worried that he may be trouble and sometimes considering him 'too much', but also partially because Zach's sarcastic wit and rebellious tendencies clash with Dylan's more serious outlook, and so they don't always see eye to eye. As their paranormal investigation progresses, Zach slowly starts to become part of the Millihan's family, and finds that he may just not be quite as lonely as he once was anymore, much to his relief and confusion.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - He/Him Age - 16 Appearance - Zach is average height and has pale skin without freckles, as well as messy short dark brown (almost black) hair that sticks out in a few directions and which he brushes up off his face. His eyes are brown and sharp, and he has a mischievous grin. For clothes, he usually wears cotton or flannel long-sleeve shirts usually in hues of grey, brown or black, under a long pitch black jaket, with black denim pants, black converse shoes studded with spikes and black fingerless gloves with ripped fishnetting. He also almost always uses black nail polish and eyeliner, which he takes great pride in.

Personality Types:

📸Enneagram: 7w8

Place of Birth: Criksdale (a town neighbouring Vinethorn Grove)

🎞️ Personal Life 🎞️

Family:

Jenny Taylors (nèe Weston) - Mother

Status: Unknown Age: Presumably late 30s, early forties, if she's still alive somewhere Occupations: Convenience store clerk, busker (plays the guitar) Relationship: Complicated but not awful (she was troubled and developed a drug addiction/drinking problem after his father passed but wasn't a bad mother, wasn't a perfect one either)

David Taylors - Father

Status: Deceased Age: 29-30 Occupations: Ex-military, mechanic, musician Cause of Death: Accidental Electrocution (while at work) Relationship: Great (David was an awesome father and Zach's main role model, and also was the person from whom Zach got his love for unique things and a goth style)

Brendan Heddam - Step Father

Status: Alive Age: mid forties Occupations: Biker, Gang Leader Relationship: AWFUL (Brendam is a very violent and abusive man who hurt Zach emotionally and physically especially after Jenny hit the road/disappeared, and though Zach was able to run away the man is still hunting him down as he blames him for Jenny 'leaving him')

Amy Millihan:

Status: Alive Age: 16 Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Paranormal Investigator & Enthusiast Relationship: Good (Amy is his best friend and girlfriend)

🎞️ Likes & Dislikes 🎞️

Hobbies/Interests:

Listening to grunge rock and alternative pop, especially more gothic or spooky styles, on his old headphones, almost all the time

Skateboarding around town

Playing with his gecko, Mark, (which he stole from a parked pet store truck) and spending time taking care of it

Reading books, stolen from the local library, in the woods - his favorite genres are detective mysteries, philosophy, and obscure classics and books by unknown authors

Drinking milkshake at their favorite diner and eating hamburgers with curly fries

Investigating the paranormal activity of the woods with Amy and their friends, especially whenever their searches do wield results

Being a menace to society

Making passinate debates about sociopolitical topics or even very trivial or unknown facts

Playfully getting on Dylan's nerves on purpose

Spending quality time with Amy, watching movies, walking around, talking or just being in the same room

Person (his 'comfort people'): Amy

Candy: Caramel candies with peppermint

Place: 1. The Millhan's lakehouse, 2. his hideout

Fictional Creature: Banshee, Mothman

Scent: Petrichor, Vanilla Milkshakes and Burnt Wood

General Dislikes/Hates:

His step father (Brendan). Despite Zach's confidence and teenage swagger, he is absolutely terrified of his step father and with good reason: the man is dangerous, and would probably kill him if he had the chance. Whenever they have a close call with Brendan, Zach always has a panic attack later.

Being abandoned/discarded. Zach is a very loyal and kind person, but due to his early traumas - his dad's death, his mother leaving, his stepfather's abusive tendencies - he has developed an inherent fear that he might be 'worthless' or 'unlovable' and lives with a constant dread that his current friends may leave him ("just like everyone else does") once they """grow tired of him""".

Judgemental people, as well as controlling traditions which stifle the creativity of new generations

Corrupt or lazy politicians or public figures

Feeling like he's missing out on something, especially if he feels he isn't being included, though he usually hides the feeling

People who mistreat animals

Dylan not accepting him or treating him like he's just a troubled kid

Movies with cheesy plots or badly written character arcs

When townsfolk cling to misguided beliefs because its just easier that way

People who abuse of their power

Motorcycles and bikers, especially threatening ones

Repetitive conversations about meaningless topics

The smell of cleaning disinfectant

Squishy/sticky food

Another character introduction post for What Lurks In The Hollow, this time for Liam Steele.

If you like this, pls reblog! 💕

🎞️About/General Info🎞️

Liam Steele is one of the most well-known teenagers in Vinethorn Grove, infamous - and feared - for his fiery personality and tendencies to withdraw himself emotionally from the world, which makes people assume he just doesn't care. Which isn't true. With a knack for getting into trouble, especially fist fights with other teens, Liam has long since been labeled a local 'bully' or troublemaker - but that couldn't be further from the actual truth. Liam only gets into fights with the actual bullies of the town, whenever said bullies pick on him, his girlfriend or anyone else. But the sheer strenght and explosiveness with which he deals with such other kids gives outsiders the wrong impression most of the time. Tired of trying to prove himself otherwise, Liam has quietly accepted the rumors and given up in trying to 'clear his reputation', and chosen to just live in his own little world with his girlfriend (Savvy), his music, and his car, pretending not to care about what anyone else thinks of him. But deep down, a lost, but kind, part of him still wants to be accepted and still wants to make more friends - even though his anger and his difficulty blending in have made him a pariah to most, so many other teens don't even get close enough to truly get to know him. Despite all of that, he has a good heart and a loyal personality that will strongly stand beside anyone who proves themselves a true friend worthy of their time.

🎞️ More Info 🎞️

Pronouns - He/Him Age - 17 Appearance - Liam is somewhere between average height and tall, especially for a teenager, and is quite athletic and muscular while still being thin. He has long, volumous blond hair that is quite curly, and which he usually keeps loose and wild, a lot of his style reflects his love for vintage rock and roll. He has dark grey eyes and his favorite clothes include a distressed denim vest, simple jeans and band T-shirts, occasionally opting for a long-sleeve denim jacket or a comfy coat, as well as worn out red ankle converse shoes or occasionally simple boots. He always wears the DIY charm bracelet that his girlfriend, Savvy, gave him - it has both sentimental value to him and doubles a fidget toy for when he gets anxious.

Personality Types:

📸Enneagram: 8w7

📸MBTI: INFJ

Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Rock 'n Roll Enthusiast, Local Troublemaker, Paranormal Investigator (begrudgingly)

Place of Birth: Vinethorn Grove

Orientation: Straight

🎞️ Personal Life 🎞️

Family:

Nicholas Steele - Uncle, Legal Guardian

Status: Alive Age: 28-29 Occupations: Businessman/Business owner Relationship: Good, the only 'parent' figure Liam truly had ever since he was 7 (but Nicholas is far more of a lax older brother figure/best friend kind of guy than someone serious or fully prepared to raise a kid, though he does try his best and is honestly great)

Stephanie Steele - Mother

Status: Alive Age: 44 Occupations: Magazine Editor, Band Groupie Relationship: Bad (practically abandoned Liam with her brother - Nicholas - when she first had the chance, claiming she needed time to focus solely on her career while grieving her mother's death. She claimed she would come back for him, but never did, and now lives a successful life in the capital, having practically forgotten her son exists)

Debora Steele - Grandmother

Status: Deceased (died half a year before his mother ditched him) Age: 61 Cause of Death: Cancer Occupations: Former stay at home mother, widow and heiress (of the family business) Relationship: Good, but short lived

Unnamed Father

Best Friends/Allies:

Savvanah 'Savvy' Hahn:

Status: Alive Age: 17 Occupations: Student (currently on school break), Arcade Enthusiast, Local Troublemaker, Paranormal Investigator Relationship: Amazing! (She's his girlfriend and best friend - and they have been besties since childhood)

Amy Millihan:

Status: Alive Age: 16 Occupation: Student (currently on school break), Paranormal Investigator & Enthusiast Relationship: Good

Zach Taylors:

Status: Alive Age: 16 Occupation: Homeless runaway, works part time jobs at a few local businesses that don't ask too many questions Relationship: Good

Kevin “Kev” Micheal Harrison

Status: Undead Age: 17 Cause and Time of Death: Bashed to death with a baseball bat, sometime after the Harvest Fair of 1984 Occupation: Student (formerly), Bully (formerly), Haunting Apparition (currently), Vengeful Spirit (currently) Relationship: Good but mostly complicated. Kev serves as Liam's ghostly mentor from the beyond and is at times a friendly ally to the group despite being dead, but also serves as a terrifying cautionary tale of the fate Liam might face if he doesn't stop trying to do everything all alone or if he insists on pushing everyone away.

People who try to scratch or dent his car, reckless drivers

Gossipmongers and people who spread lies about others
