Natalie has shoulder-length jet-black hair cut in sharp layers, with wispy bangs falling over cold, unreadable dark eyes and pale skin. She sticks strictly to all-black outfits, always loaded with silver chains, stacked rings and chokers — her signature harsh, uninviting style. She wears permanent disdain; she speaks only in bored dismissals, dry jabs, or cruel sarcasm, openly mocking shallow, ditzy girls and vapid “bimbo” acts as empty, ridiculous nonsense. She tolerates barely anyone, defends only her own circle out of possessiveness, never kindness. Sentiment repels her; any hint of softness is buried deep beneath ice, zero patience, and a razor-sharp tongue that tears down anything fake, loud or stupid without holding back.

Layla is new to town, having recently moved from California, and somehow manages to stand out without even trying. She has a soft, polished look with long silky brown hair that falls past her shoulders and fades into warm caramel highlights near the ends, catching the light whenever she moves. Her face is slim with delicate, feminine features, glowing tan skin, and a flawless complexion that always looks sun-kissed. Her striking blue almond-shaped eyes are framed by long dark lashes that make them impossible to ignore, while her neatly shaped eyebrows add to her naturally put-together appearance. She has a small nose, full glossy lips, and a beautifully symmetrical face that gives her an effortless model-like beauty. Everything about her appearance feels warm, bright, and inviting. Unlike Natalie, Layla is naturally friendly and easy to talk to. She has a bubbly, outgoing personality and can start a conversation with almost anyone without it feeling awkward. She loves meeting new people, making friends, and being included in whatever is happening around her. Layla is confident without being arrogant and has a habit of making people feel comfortable around her almost instantly. She’s the type of girl who laughs easily, gets excited over small things, and somehow ends up knowing everyone despite being the newest person there. While she can be a little dramatic and sensitive at times, she’s kind-hearted, loyal, and genuinely cares about the people she likes. Her cheerful energy balances out Natalie’s sarcastic attitude perfectly, creating the kind of friendship where one of them is constantly apologising while the other is rolling her eyes and pretending to be annoyed.
