TWO FUN FACTS AND ONE UNFUN FACT
Elian:
-Originally designed the website for The Daily Grind in comic sans and had to be told it is not an appropriate business font. He still likes to make flyers and menus with it as the font.
-Is still learning how to make gluten-free baked goods. The last attempt caused a minor fire.
-Ran away from home at age fifteen. Illiam hated him for many years because of this, but they’ve lately reconciled and are beginning to repair their relationship.

Illiam:
-And Xander are just friends (for now). Everyone knows Xander is a gunner and Illiam was able to impress him enough the first week that Xander asked Illiam if he wanted to be study partners. They compare Xander’s tricolored elaborate notes in perfect handwritting to Illiam’s recordings and outlines. It’s Illiam’s job to make the notecards.
-Refuses to admit he found this medical school via a med school parody song on youtube. Tells Elian he came here to be with him.
-Still resents Elian for running away from home and focusing their parents’ scrutiny on him for three years. As perfect as he had to be with Elian around, he had to be even better than that when Elian was gone. He still hasn’t come out to his parents and doubts he ever will.

Monroe:
-Writes several blogs, but his most popular is “Life of Cats”, where he chronicles the lives of the cats at the local animal sanctuary as if they were humans. He has invented an elaborate cat society and hierarchy. Several of his posts have been rejected or rewritten by Chrysal for being “too dark”, though he secretly sends them out to interested friends of the blog.
-Would live in The Daily Grind if it were possible. He’s probably one of the people who has spent the most money there, even though he often only buys a black coffee and sometimes a bagel. He’s asked Elian if they can start selling sandwiches so he doesn’t have to leave for lunch or dinner.
-Has never met his biological parents. He was adopted by the Aber family (owners of the Aber Group) as a publicity stunt and was “accidentally” abandoned by them on vacation. Monroe has a hard time remembering the years of his life between his abandonment and meeting Georg. His legal name is still Monroe Aber.

Helorie:
-Runs a program where middle and high school students on robotics team can come to the University to use their equipment and be aided by college students and willing professors (mostly him)
-Will go out of the way to get coffee at The Daily Grind before his 7 AM class. Once took a class there instead of lecturing and bought them all coffee and a baked good each.
-Tried to deny his paternity of Arianna before the court ordered paternity tests. He even lied to Dmitri and told him that Arianna couldn’t be his child because he was a virgin. Arianna is still quite upset about this (rightfully so)

Dmitri:
-Met Chrysal at the local animal sanctuary. He was looking into adopting the sanctuary’s stork and Chrysal had to explain to him that he could not actually take the stork home, adopting the stork simply meant that he would pay a certain amount of money a month, could name the stork whatever he liked, and the plaque and website would list him as the stork’s adopter. Dmitri was quite upset and he nearly concocted a plan to steal the stork before Helorie gave him a three hundred page book on stork ownership and Dmitri decided that having his name on a plaque and being able to visit the stork whenever he wanted was good enough.
-Got married to Chrysal at the local animal sanctuary. It was an elaborate wedding in front of the stork enclosure. At the reception they played dungeons and dragons. Monroe wrote an elaborate, ten thousand word long, deeply surreal post about it for “Life of Cats” and uploaded it without asking Chrysal for approval. It was taken down hours later. Monroe still considers it his magnum opus.
-Doesn’t like Arianna living in the condo. He did not like Arianna’s mother, and Arianna seems to him as a miniature version of her. He’s often hinted to Helorie that he should maybe get his own place, but Helorie hasn’t gotten the hints or simply just ignores him.

Bonus Fact:
-Walks with a cane. He got his right leg stuck in a combine when he was 15 on the family farm and it had to be amputated. His right hand also suffered major injuries from his attempt to use it to free his leg. He has prosthetics for both. Dmitri is left handed.

Ekaterina:
-Is a prolific fanfiction writer in several fandoms, including OUAT, Community, and Hatoful Boyfriend. Her stories are known for their focus on relationships between women, over-elaborate plots, references to modern-day social justice (when appropriate) or the equivalent in non-modern settings, and the fact that nearly every character writes poetry at some point. If you go to some dark corner of the internet you can still find her My Little Pony fanfiction, which she deleted after the point where it was clear the fandom was going to hell.
-Owns several pigeons. They sit in a pigeon cage in her and Anya’s apartment. Has been considering buying a Chukar Partridge. Each pigeon is named for a Hatoful Boyfriend character. She looks at them for inspiration when she’s writing.
-Ekaterina is completely unable to write good original fiction or poetry. She has tried multiple times to write original stories, but each time she ends up abandoning them two or three chapters in. Her original poetry is really bad. Once she attempted to write a poem for Jeh and went through multiple attempts before she just stole a poem from one of her unpublished fanfictions and changed the names.

Anya:
-Is a proud sorority sister of Kappa Alpha Theta. Often has issues reconciling her positive sorority experiences with the toxic greek life culture she hears about elsewhere. Often argues with Ekaterina (who thinks sororities and fraternities should be all banned) about it. Her mother, Esther, is a proud Kappa Alpha Theta alumna herself and almost all the Kappa Alpha Theta members at the university love her when she comes to visit.
-Has a major crush on Helorie, even though he’s her cousin’s adopted brother and twenty years older than her. Often makes excuses to come and visit him or go to The Daily Grind with him. Whenever she attempts to flirt with Helorie, Helorie just thinks he’s imagining it (why would this attractive, smart, charming twenty-two year old woman be flirting with him??)
-Hates living with Ekaterina. Hates having to hear about her fanfiction. Hates hearing the bird noises of the endless pigeons. Wishes that she could kick Ekaterina out, but she’s her sister.

Von Wolff:
-Works as a personal trainer, but has been saving up money to go back to school and get a degree in Chemical Engineering. He also does classes at the gym that he’s affiliated with, primarily weight-lifting and swimming classes. Is very serious about proper weight room procedure and will kick you out for not following it without a second of hesitation.
-Lives with Monroe. One of half of the apartment is completely messy and covered in shit and the other half is mostly immaculate, covered in cat hair, and has an elaborate relationship chart of all the cats (and other characters) featured in Life of Cats.
-Is completely convinced he is heterosexual. He’s realized that he has feelings for Monroe (and that dude at The Daily Grind would be kind of cute, but he’s totally not gay or bisexual, nope, nope) but has convinced himself that Monroe is just an exception. And not like he’d ever tell Monroe that! Though if he ever did decide to tell Monroe, maybe those gay people at The Daily Grind would have some advice?

Ulmer:
-Thinks that two of the types of juice sold at his juice bar, “Carrots in Paradise” and “White Protein Explosion” are absolutely disgusting and refuses to touch them. He isn’t sure why they’re so popular. If they didn’t make so much money, he would destroy them and the recipe and free the world from them.
-Has Von Wolff as his personal trainer. They argue sometimes about nutrition. Ulmer counts every calorie and vitamin and makes sure he gets his daily requirements while Von Wolff thinks that Ulmer should eat more red meat. Von Wolff is a huge fan of “White Protein Explosion” and recommends it to all his clients.
-Is not doing as well as he’s pretending to be doing. He’s experimented with lowering prices, changing recipes, and all sorts of promotions, but isn’t sure his juice bar will last the next few years. If only he had something to draw people in, like delicious but healthy baked goods?

Xander:
-Is really into crossfit. He’s been finding it hard to fit into his schedule with his extra studying. Illiam keeps telling him he should go to a real certified personal trainer “like that von wolff guy Elian is always saying your brother is mooning over” but Xander refuses to give up Crossfit.
-Is really into raw foods. Illiam doesn’t think this is healthy at all and keeps attempting him to get cooked foods. Xander will make an exception for coffee (of course), “The Xander Drink”, and 1/4th of one of Elian’s Chocolate Chip Muffins (Illiam eats the other 3/4ths)
-Saw Alexil kill his mother. Xander was playing in the yard when he saw his mother approaching the gate of the house and Alexil leaving out the gate. He screamed when Alexil ran over his mother and ran to her, but Alexil told him that it was a big accident and that if Xander told anyone, he would be sent away to a bad place and Xander and Sebastian would have to go to an orphanage where “everyone would be mean to them.” Xander washed his father’s car while Alexil went to call one of his friends to dispose of the corpse. Xander only vaguely remembers this incident today. Sebastian still believes that his mother committed suicide.

Alexil:
-Loves musicals. He has seen Jesus Christ Superstar in person multiple times, but none after Carl Anderson’s death. Every birthday he insists his friends and family watch the film version with him. Xander and Sebastian have musical numbers stuck in their head from their frequent viewing of them as children and Alexil’s habit of singing them throughout the house.
-Owns El Diablo in this AU. El Diablo has become more modernized to fit the times, though Alexil rather misses the old days, and he’s far less hands on with it in this AU, living in a mansion outside of Las Vegas. Alexil has major criminal connections.
-Is still an awful father. Sebastian realized this when he was 8 years old. Xander still hasn’t.

Author's Notes: My goal with this was to tell you two cute facts about these characters and then punch you in the emotions with the last one, at least for most of them.
