NAME: Randolph Byron Blandford

POSITION: Principal of Waverley Heights Academy
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Married to Camille Gwyneth Blandford.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Travis Stratford (Grandson)
Scarlett Stratford (Granddaughter)
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Damien LeBlanc
Elinor Knightley
Peter Cook
Bill Knight
Harry Callow
INFO: Randolph is extremely materialistic, calculative, money-loving and cold. He blatantly practices nepotism and favortism, the only two reasons why his grandson, Travis Stratford, even made it through High School despite having the IQ of a muffin. Randolph prioritizes status, reputation and prestige. A great lover of monetary contributions to the academy, he will favor the children of any parent who donates money or a new school building. He is also very stiff, conservative, narrow-minded, formal and British.
FACE CLAIM: Ian McKellan

NAME: Damien LeBlanc
RESIDENCE: New York City and Waverley Heights
POSITION: Vice Principal of Waverley Heights Academy, and the Biology Teacher
ADDITIONAL POSITIONS: Alpha of The Aviary
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Secretly carrying on an illicit love affair with a seventeen year old student, Faye De Lise.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Ethan Knightley
Harry Callow
Randolph Byron Blandford
Elinor Knightley
Lila Swann
Christian Rhys Wethington
Blair Lexington
Adrienne de Charlevoix
INFO: For Damien LeBlanc, there’s a time for work, and a time for play. He never risks blurring the lines between the two. While at school, he is business-like, as the suits he wears seem to dictate. Because Damien loves to give detentions, most students are afraid of him. He has no qualms about handing out weeks of detention at a go. On the other hand, when he is with his mother or friends back in New York, he is completely laid back and a different person entirely. He acts superior around his colleagues at WHA, but around his old friends, he is just another one of them, who goes out clubbing and dining like any man in his 30s would. Highly intelligent, cold, devious and machiavellian, he often gains sadistic pleasure in watching people squirm. An extremely powerful man, Damien is not merely the Vice Principal of the most prestigious boarding school in California. He is also the Head (or Alpha) of The Aviary - a nation-wide organization consisting of society’s elite and Americans in positions of high status and power. Little did he know that he would fall in love with a young, teenage girl. In time to come, he will become embroiled in a conspiracy scandal that puts his entire life, career and his relationship with Faye De Lise at risk.
FACE CLAIM: Christian Bale

NAME: Elinor Knightley
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Head of Discipline, and the English and Literature Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Divorced from Ethan Knightley. Fantasized about by Bill Knight.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Ethan Knightley (Ex-Husband, Divorced)
Sienna Thereis Knightley (Daughter)
Lea Marisa Knightley (Daughter)
Trey Jordan Knightley (Son)
Caitlyn Inez Knightley (Daughter)
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Randolph Byron Blandford
Peter Cook
Bill Knight
Damien LeBlanc
INFO: Elinor is the sort of disciplinarian who is feared by all students. Icy, ridiculously strict, harsh and unforgiving, she throws students into detention for even the tiniest offense (such as wearing the wrong length of socks with their uniforms). Even her children have come to resent her, and often wish that their father had won custody of them instead. Elinor has a fiery relationship with her ex-husband, and they spend all their time arguing with each other on the phone. She despises the fact that her children are so close to him and feels quite as if his child-rearing methods leave little to be desired. Rather conservative in some ways, Elinor is suspicious of anything too ‘wild’ or ‘liberal’, especially when said activities might tarnish a person’s image. For example, she fully agrees that humans have the right to be homosexual… she merely feels they shouldn’t be gay in public.
FACE CLAIM: Michelle Pfeiffer

NAME: Bill Knight
RESIDENCE: Houston, Texas
POSITION: Physics Teacher
BEST FRIEND: Heather Rutter
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Recently broke up with his much older internet girlfriend. Has always fantasized about Elinor Knightley dressed in leather boots…
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Imogen Knight (Cousin)
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Randolph Byron Blandford
Elinor Knightley
Lila Swann
Naomi James
Scarlett Stratford
Abby Vescovi
INFO: Bill is a perfectionist who happens to be fascinated by physics and technology. He will teach anyone who wants to learn and is a loyal friend. Unfortunately, he is prone to being over-critical. Recently, he dated a woman MUCH older than himself, whom he met through a dating website on the internet. They broke up due to the fact that she lied to him about her husband, claiming he was deceased. Bill wishes that Scarlett Stratford was an adult instead of a student as he is in love with her brilliant mind. But as he is not a cradle snatcher (unlike Damien LeBlanc), he remains content to spend hours on end discussing science, chess and technology with young Scarlett. He has also always had a crush on Elinor Knightley but has never quite acted on it. Things might change soon, however, after an unexpected turn of events…
FACE CLAIM: David Tennant

NAME: Naomi James
RESIDENCE: Camberwell Creek
POSITION: Head of the North Wing, and the Geography and Sociology Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Seperated from her husband, Henry, pending divorce.
RELATED CHARACTERS:
Henry James (Husband)
Alex James (Son)
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Laine Theroux
Ivan Vidrick
Lila Swann
Darren Pierce
Mark Green
Bill Knight
INFO: If the woman can be described with one word in particular, it would be British. Her sense of humour is of the complicated and cynical sort. She teaches with an abrupt strictness and has little regard for student opinion. Somewhat reserved in her expression, Naomi looks awkward in any more student-orientated events that require moving about in other ways than walking with a drink in one’s hand. Her dancing is laughable. As a mother figure of sorts, Naomi is fair but firm. She enjoys a debate and would rather provoke a reaction in someone and change their perception than discuss generalisations.
FACE CLAIM: Haydn Gwynne

NAME: Laine Theroux
RESIDENCE: SoHo district in Manhatten, New York
POSITION: Head of the West Wing, and the Fashion Design, Graphic Design and Media & Popular Culture Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single and being pursued by Darren Pierce
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Lila Swann
Oralie Chase
Samantha Fayle
Naomi James
Bill Knight
Guy Crafter
INFO: Laine is extremely liberal, political, creative, open-minded and opinionated. An independent bohemian who loves freedom and her ideals, she grew up in New York’s artsy SoHo district amongst artists, writers, actors, musicians, poets, fashion designers and other creative-types. An unconventional educator, Laine disagrees with many of the boarding school’s policies and somewhat resents being in the employ of such sanctimonious elitist bourgeois scum. Materialism and American capitalistic sentiments disagree with Laine who dislikes the greed and incessant social climbing that comes hand in hand with high society. As the majority of students at Waverley Heights Academy come from wealthy homes and families of considerable status, Laine prides herself on her integrity and remaining true to her ideals in her teaching. She hopes her unique approach to education and her encouragement of independent thought and thinking outside the box will seep into the minds of her more astute students. To Laine, art is life and she spends all her free time immersing herself in art and culture, absorbing every sculpture, every film, every piece of theatre and every poem with an unquenchable thirst. A woman of few inhibitions, there is a sense of liberation about Laine. She possesses a raw sense of sensuality and charisma that is devoid of self-consciousness and free.
FACE CLAIM: Maggie Gyllenhaal

NAME: Lila Swann
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights and Oahu, Hawaii (her hometown)
POSITION: Head of Sports, and the Physical Education and Health Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Will begin dating Ethan Knightley quite soon.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Laine Theroux
Oralie Chase
Damien LeBlanc
Bill Knight
Ivan Vidrick
Ethan Knightley
INFO: Lila is an outdoorsy, adventurous adrenalin junkie. Highly secretive, she has a shady past that she tries to conceal. Formerly known as Calista Spiro before changing her name, she was involved in a surfing scandal in her youth. One has to divide her personality into two distinct halves - Old Lila and New Lila (a.k.a Calista Spiro and Lila Swann). It is likely that many who once knew Calista would barely recognise the changed woman she is now. Lila Swann likes to live in the present, here and now. Having spent the last few years running from her past, she never talks about her history to anyone. The new Lila is philosophical, solitary and peace-loving. She prefers interacting with people one-on-one or in small groups, and doesn’t enjoy large raucous gatherings. She’d rather chill out at home cooking, baking, watching films or reading a book. Having grown up in Hawaii, the beach and ocean is naturally close to her heart. Often, she’ll sit on the beach alone for hours in a quiet spot, just staring out into the sea with only her thoughts for company. Surfing, wakeboarding, snorkling, parasailing, beach volleyball, jetskiing and any form of beach or sea sport is second nature to her, and physical activity clears her mind.
FACE CLAIM: Evangeline Lilly

NAME: Oralie Chase
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Art & Psychology Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, though she has a romantic history with Daniel d’Lacey.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Lila Swann
Laine Theroux
Ivan Vidrick
Guy Crafter
INFO: Oralie is a fiesty woman who goes wherever the wind takes her. Extremely coffee dependent, she gets dangerous when angry. She is also creative and loves to laugh. A very open and loving person, Oralie is the go-to woman for advice and comfort for most of her friends. She tries to put aside her ‘Psychologist’ side and just listen to what they have to say without diagnosing an immediate problem. Very passionate, she stands up for what she believes in. Nobody walks all over her. Every day she dreams of traveling, but the furthest she’s been is Puerto Rico to visit relatives. She’s always ‘meant’ to go places, but it just gets put away with her other dreams. There’s only so much you can do on a teacher’s salary, even one from WHA. Enigmatic and mysterious at the same time, there is much about her that nobody will ever really know. It’s not as though she’s hiding anything, but rather, she just doesn’t feel that everybody needs to know about it.
FACE CLAIM: Rosario Dawson

NAME: Mark Green
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Music Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Engaged to Amy Wardell
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Naomi James
Laine Theroux
Oralie Chase
Bill Knight
Darren Pierce
INFO: Mark adores teaching. He tends to be arrogant and over-confident around old friends and rivals. However he is dedicated to his work and will spend all the time necessary to allow the musicians to perform at their best. However, he doesn’t really bother worrying about what his colleagues think of him at the end of the day, though he does make an effort to keep face with them. The students are far more interesting and worthy of his attention! Despite his seemingly normal outlook on life, he is not afraid to do unusual things to get the attention of the choir, or piss-take his own work. A charming man, he always has time for people who need it.
FACE CLAIM: Derren Brown

NAME: Ivan Vidrick
RESIDENCE: Waverly Heights
POSITION: Stable Manager
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, but there is the prospect of a romantic fling with Naomi James due to her impending divorce.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Lila Swann
Darren Pierce
Oralie Chase
Naomi James
INFO: Ivan is hard working and dedicated to his horses. He hates idle students and pushes people to their limits. Anyone found in the stables not doing anything will be given a broom, wheelbarrow or similar and told to make themselves useful. He can come across as tough and unsympathetic, but he’s really looking out for the riders and the horses, where corners cannot be cut. He enjoys teaching others about his trade and being outside. Cooped up too long, Ivan tends to get agitated. He loves horses and the outdoors, so running Waverley Height’s stables is a good position for him. He keeps everything running smoothly as he’s well organised and experienced.
FACE CLAIM: Goran Visnjic

NAME: Harry Callow
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Woodwork and Metalwork Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, but interested in Angelique Constantine
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Ethan Knightley
Damien LeBlanc
Randolph Byron Blandford
INFO: Harry is a hands on man, which suits his subject matter. He loves to sit and form an idea with a student, even if its for hours after class, and his students find him inspirational. He not only supports them through their project work, but also tries to keep up with sporting achievement and other extra curriculars. Harry feels proud if one of the students in his class achieves an award, even if its not to do with the work in his class. His students are mostly boys, with a few interested girls, who he treats just the same as the boys, as he finds that today’s teenage girls interested in the field want just that. With his colleagues, Harry participates in anything with a quiet smile. He has no real wish to place knives in the back of anyone, and rarely thinks ill of anyone. He forms most relationships through sporting activities. In particular, he is good friends with Damien LeBlanc and Ethan Knightley. The three of them play football, soccer and tennis together regularly, and have even taken on badminton and squash on evenings for the enjoyment.
FACE CLAIM: Daniel Craig

NAME: Evie Diaz
RESIDENCE: (During the school term) Waverley Heights, California. (Previously) Manila, Philippines and Sagada Mountain Province, Philippines
POSITION:Chambermaid
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, though she recently had a fling with Devin Ellis. This was ruined when they were caught in a broom closet by Louisa Grayce.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Devin Ellis
Izabel Hart
Seraphina Davenport
INFO: Filipina Maid and Drama Queen who wails, moans and complains a lot. Her life, as far as she is concerned, is one, long, extended soap opera. Like many other Pinoys, she is extremely emotional and volatile, and has no problems expressing said emotions to friends, colleagues, employers and complete strangers. Evie has been known to bang furniture around loudly while cleaning the dorm wings in a bad temper, and once, she even shook a fist at Randolph Byron Blandford and screamed Tagalog curses at him while enraged. Suffice to say, she is not his favorite employee. Evie enjoys making mountains out of molehills and in her hands, minor tragedies rapidly evolve into end-of-the-universe scenarios. She is over-emotional, melodramatic, volatile, hot-tempered, gossipy and vengeful. She also loves singing loudly even though she is slightly tone-deaf.

FACE CLAIM: Joanna Ampil

NAME: Heather Rutter
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Chemistry Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Dating Thomas Naughton
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Bill Knight
Naomi James
Amy Wardell
INFO: Heather has never been overly confident. She spent most of her university years buried in books, achieving high class degrees with the hope they would give her an instant ticket to a lovely job where she could just spend her days being a scientist. As a teacher, Heather isn’t very controlling. She managed to impress her assessors with her knowledge and planning, but left without the guidance of those at Harvard, and now in a real job, she’s suddenly a bit lost. Heather is too shy to ask for help. This gets her into more tight situations as the semester goes on, and it gets more and more difficult to ask for help. She lives in fear that the senior staff will notice and fire her on the spot.
FACE CLAIM: Keely Hawes

NAME: Ruth Pegram
RESIDENCE: Waverley Heights
POSITION: Physics Technician
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Bill Knight
Heather Rutter
Nate Jenner
INFO: Ruth is a keen vegetarian, who has moved from a job with production company, Kudos in Los Angeles. She is quite the geek, enjoying debate and research into abstract thoughts such as timetravel. She is also a keen inventor, though hasn’t had the time to really patent anything. She is far more likely to improve on a design, unless it needs complete reinvention. For this reason she is also very into the Open Source Movement. Ruth lost her brother to Chronic Myelgenous Leukemia recently, so her move to WHA is to get away from her life when her brother was ill. When she feels down, she turns to chocolate, and creating Pythagoras Switch marble runways round the office to the bemusement of staff and students alike.
FACE CLAIM: Sophia Myles

POSITION: Academy Administrator
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single, fending off the attentions of Annette Maddison
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Randolph Byron Blandford
Bill Knight
Evie Diaz
Elinor Knightley
Serena Rockefeller
Chase Dragon
Scarlett Stratford
INFO: As a super-efficient addition to the Academy’s support team, Nate is a hit with the staff, and the students. Not only does he look good in a suit, but he solves problems at the drop of the hat. Nate has a brilliant memory for detail, and surprises people by greeting them by name, while also knowing deeper details about them, gleaned from files. As such, the odd goings on around campus aren’t missed, as Nate is keen to investigate with friends from the local paranormal society, ParaSoc, even if it means deceiving the boss.
FACE CLAIM: Gareth David-Lloyd

NAME: Darren Pierce
RESIDENCE: Miami, Florida
POSITION: Head of the South Wing, and the Drama Teacher
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Interested in Laine Theroux though the affections are not currently returned as she finds him egotistical and annoying.
NOTABLE FRIENDS & ALLIES:
Mark Green
Naomi James
Ivan Vidrick
INFO: As a ladies man, Darren is extremely bold and charming (or at least, likes to think he is). He is always in search of perfection and is too smooth for his own good. Every bit a rogue, he enjoys a good challenge. While he cares for each of his students, he demands much from them in return.
FACE CLAIM: Julian McMahon
