Tristan

As much as Tristan truly loved what he did, college life was boring to him. Besides his classes, he lacked any real pastimes. Which is why, when he’d heard rumours that Lucy Quinnzel had recently started attending the same university as him, he’d gone out of his way to find her. And it turned out that they got on like a house on fire.

It didn’t take long for him to become protective of her, seeing her as the little sister he’d always wanted. People seemed to be interested in her for her money and connections, but that had never bothered Tristan. He had his own.

Maybe that was why they got on so well. Or maybe it was the way they both loved to cause trouble in any way they could, knowing they’d get out of it one way or another. Either way, he adored her.

“’ello, Princess.” Tristan grinned, leaning down to wrap one arm around Lucy, the other resting on the desk to hold himself up. “Mhm, of course. What’s a weekend without a little fun, eh?” He sat himself in the seat next to her, pushing Versace sunglasses up onto his head as his eyes adjusted to the indoor lighting. “What’ve ya got planned?”

Pretty blue eyes took in the dark haired male, leaning into the arm around her with a laugh. Tristan was most definitely her best friend and brother and she’d be lying if she said she wouldn’t be a wing woman. He had never seemed bothered by the innate danger those who hurt her put themselves in, and more often than not, he was first in line to protector when her father’s men couldn’t readily access her. It was nice to know that someone other than Joker cared about her. Though she doubted many people would kill to protect her like her father did. Her last name hadn’t kept Tristan away, and she was glad she had at least one actual friend on this campus. College was so boring for her most days. She grinned at the nickname. “You know you don’t gotta call me Princess. Only dad does that.” It was funny how easily she could talk about her dad with Tristan, but he had never been phased by it, which helped.

Lucy wasn’t entirely convinced Tristan didn’t have some rich parent looking after him as well, and she crossed one leg over the other as she uncovered the notebook, filled with their various plans and pranks and all the details therein. “I was thinking some new art on the library walls.” she mused. “We haven’t tagged anything in a while, and I’ve been watching the library from my dorm room window. I know when all the patrols go by.” she mused, grinning at him. 

Lucy’s Verses

Main [ blonde hair with lost eyes;; main Lucy ]

Lucy lived her life believing she was just a normal girl. After her aunt died just after her 17th birthday, Lucy discovers so much more and now she’s on the search for her real parents.

Assassin [ diamonds in the shuriken;; assassin Lucy ]

Lucy being found by enemies of her father turned her dark fast and the girl learned how to survive quick. Now later in life but still young enough to be conspicuous, Lucy takes on hits for money in order to survive in the world she was cruelly pulled into as a child. 

College [ little bit of both worlds;; college Lucy ]

Lucy knows who her parents are, but while she knows both of her parents are resent, even if distantly, she doesn’t actively discuss one with the other. She knows her father has men keeping an eye out and that if anyone tries to hurt her, that missing is what will be attached to the name for a long time. She knows her mother hated giving her up but is scared too much attention will be put on Lucy if they appear anywhere in public. But Lucy, with her smarts and a little bit of her father’s love for trouble, causes all sorts of fun acts and pranks to keep life interesting as she goes on the day to day of college life. 

Gangster [ dark side of the moon;; gangster Lucy ]

Unable to track much of the mail her mother sent her aunt, Lucy finds her father when she finds a letter that leads to the gang district. But where most would think she’d be killed, Lucy’s straightforward bravery and stubbornness gives her an edge and she soon has a role as princess to the gang, the only other one who can order the men of her father around. She’s not crazy, but she is having fun and she’s showered with presents and surrounded by a version of a family that likes her as she is.

Lucy wasn’t a victim of bullying, but it didn’t mean she didn’t get into a little trouble from time to time. She still got good grades, but she had a big tendency of pushing the limits when she decided she wanted to pull a prank or four. The little blonde basically had an invisible barrier keeping her off limits; because no one would dare to harm the daughter of the most notorious gangster in modern times. She didn’t flaunt it, but with the last name Quinnzel and the amount of money that showed up after she was accepted, it didn’t take long for rumors to circle. Of course, there was also the missing student who had vanished after he’d been caught trying to force himself on Lucy. Lucy didn’t need to see her father to know Joker was watching over her, but she also said nothing to her mother about it, either. She walked the line between the two and caused as much trouble as she could. So when she was working on a new prank, she glanced up when she saw a shadow over her paper. She draped her arm over the list and tilted her head until she recognized the male. “Well, well, if it isn’t my favorite partner in crime.” she grinned. “Got bored and ready for more trouble?”
