Reputation

Cairine is usually well-liked by her peers, and respected by but frustrating to those in positions of authority. However, she might be considered a bit of a prude due to how rarely she dates, in spite of ample offers.

Character Details

Personality

Cairine likes to think of herself as an average girl, while being distinctly out of the ordinary. She's exceptionally adventurous, to the point where some have accused her of having no sense of self-preservation, and is a good bit smarter than she thinks she is. She often finds classes unchallenging, which is the source of most of her disciplinary trouble in school.

She's got a very friendly smile, and is loyal almost to a fault. She doesn't consider herself a rebel, but often finds herself working against established ideas anyway. Her greatest fault is a lack of self-analysis; her greatest virtue is her daring creativity.

Details

Cairine is the daughter of Emily and Erik Taylor, a pair of Silicon Valley power players. Erik was one of the people who read a bit further into the IPO for Bill Gates's little venture than most and got in on the ground floor investment-wise; he's currently a venture capitalist handling investments in tech startups in San Jose. Emily is a professor at University of California Santa Cruz, teaching classic literature.

Cairine herself was born in Santa Cruz, and lived there and attended school at various private schools through her sophomore year of high school. She thought her life to that point unexceptional - yes, her family had a bit more money than some of the people around her, but along Monterey Bay wealth isn't exactly a rarity. Yes, she was smart, but she knew people smarter. She didn't really see what was so attractive about the boys her friends would ogle for hours, but that didn't bother her so much - she figured she just hadn't found her type yet.

It was a great surprise to her when her type turned out to be Jessica. Quiet, smart, occasionally cruel Jessica, who she had seen on occasion as a child but who had moved to the East Coast for most of her early teen years. When she had returned, she was taller, better-looking, and had a certain… something… that made it hard for Cairine to take her eyes off her. Cairine waited weeks before saying something to her.

She was thoroughly rejected. Jessica didn't just turn her down, she threatened to out Cairine to the entire school, to the entire community. While Santa Cruz is known for its tolerance, the Taylor parents are not - conservative Catholics, they believed that homosexuality was a mortal sin, and they would never look at her the same way again if they knew. She stood to lose everything, and the only way to avoid it was to, so far as Jessica was concerned, cease to exist. She told her parents that she wanted to stay with her aunt in Monterey for a while, to attend a school there. She picked one almost at random and told her parents that it had a great art program that she wanted to try. They were skeptical, but they saw her as the child with less potential - they had always preferred her fraternal twin brother - and allowed her to move.

Relationships

Family

Name	Relation	Notes
Erik Taylor	Father	Distant but warm relationship. Cairine sees relatively little of him, but they get along in the time they spend together.
Andrew Taylor	Fraternal Twin Brother	Cairine is close to her brother and trusts him not to abandon her, but is also very aware that he has a hard time keeping his mouth shut.
Margaret Reed	Aunt	Older sister to Erik; twice widowed. Cairine lives with her, but Margaret pays little attention to her. The two of them do eat breakfast together most days, though, and the breakfasts are cordial.

Friends

Name	Relation	Notes
Victoria Blackwell	Umm… ?	Well… there's definitely chemistry there. But they've only met once. Asked her out though!

Neutral

Name	Relation	Notes
Ashley Kerrington	Acquaintance	Maybe not so much an acquaintance as… a bulldozer of will that rolled its way right over Cairine's healthy sedan of ego. Still, her fashion sense is reliable.
Adam Blake	Acquaintance	Nice guy! Cutely shy around girls. If Cairine liked boys, she'd almost certainly be into him. She wants to be friends with him, for sure.
Kitty Mao	Acquaintance	Okay, she's a bit strange, but that could well be because of how not-from-around-here she is. A bit of a stick in the mud, too, but sometimes that's just what Cairine wants in her company.
