Character #1: Geraldine

    Background Information:
Geraldine Hays was born in Detroit, Michigan on February 9th, 1901. As a child, she enjoyed singing songs and telling jokes. She did not get along too well with her family as they all thought that she was a tad strange. Their constant judgement made her leave the household that she grew up in and she moved to Los Angeles, California. Likewise, she had a hard time making friends in Los Angeles. But after living there for over 30 years, she became known by every person in town. Geraldine continues singing as a hobby and she works as a secretary at Leylov Industries. Although Geraldine has never been in a romantic relationship before, she loves love. In other words, she enjoys seeing couples being happy with each other. Geraldine loves observing people and she's good at reading them. She also tries to match people up with one another. Additionally, she can be described as "cupid" or "fairy godmother" as she's always looking out for single people and observing how they interact with others.

Annette is an only child and has been spoiled her whole. However, she doesn't like to brag about the resources she has because she wants people to not judge her for her money, but by her humbleness. Her dating history is quite messy: she had four boyfriends during high school and none of these relationships lasted over five months. Once she graduated, she met Billy and they dated for a year. Her recent breakup with Billy has had a negative impact on her. Annette is the type of girl to fall in love quickly; nonetheless, she's very reserved about her feelings for people and refuses to admit that she's in love. She also enjoys being mysterious and by doing this, she hopes to catch people's attention. By the same token, she often acts uninterested to see who will come to her at their own will.

Sharon and Kurt decided to move their family to Los Angeles, California in order for Natasha to attend Angels Conservatory, a prestigious institution for those who wanted to become actors. Ricky didn't want to move, but he also had no say in the decision. Additionally, Ricky doesn't like arguments, so he just goes with the flow.
