Much Ado About*Something*......

War is raging around Messina, but that doesn't mean you can't have a break, right? Soldiers Don Pedro, Benedick, Claudio, and Don John return to their hometown amidst the chaos to catch a much-needed break from the war around them. Add in the two charming cousins Beatrice and Hero, and you have a set recipe for disaster. And with tensions rising as the war takes a turn for the worst, loyalties shift, lovers quarrel, and friends get pit against each other.

Personality/Key Traits:

Name: Beatrice 'Bea' Leonato
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Demisexual
Appearance: Beatrice is tall and curvy, and surprisingly muscular. She has olive skin and dark brown hair cut at about shoulder length, a strong jaw, and warm brown eyes.
Outfit: Brown pants, some army-issue boots that she really shouldn't have possession of, a red long-sleeved shirt, and a brown jacket.
Personality/Key Traits: Beatrice is quick-witted and can range from snarky to downright rude at times. She's brash and proud of herself to the point of it being called arrogance. She has a fierce devotion to those she loves, especially her cousin Hero, and will do anything to protect them.

slams through the door aggressively with a crazy smile on my face that scares even god
MAY I?!

SURE!

Can I be Hero? Imma make my little soft bae into a soft bae with sass and intensity like no other.

YESYESYES!!!! You'd be a great Hero!!

Wondering if I should be Claudio.

YES!!
I'd say you'd be a great Claudio or Benedick, but you have the authority of Don Pedro.

Cuz you're snarky in a good way!

HECK YEAH SHE DOES!

Leonato is the old man, I don't think I have him as playable but you can play as him, he's just not a super major character.
Don John is Prince Untrustworthy.

It's what Will would want

Will Power! I am the will of the people now!

Uhhhh it's up to you I guess? They don't have last names in the play, if I remember correctly….

Sure, let's go with same last name.

Name: Hero Leonato
Age: 22
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Straight
Appearance: (tries to forget how Benedick describes her) Rather small and slender, slightly more pear shaped. Delicate and doll looking. She's got a more pale olive complexion, a river of caramel colored waves, sharp aristocratic features, warm and bright brown eyes.
Outfit: black slacks, heeled leather ankle boots, light grey v-cut tshirt, long fitted dark grey peacoat, black leather gloves.
Personality/Key Traits: Tries to emulate her cousin Beatrice's snarky attitude, but comes off more as a playfully witty type. She's a bit too kindhearted and gentle to be seen as sarcastic or rude, but she does have a blunt way of speaking. She's gentle and intelligent, the other half of Beatrice's harsh coin. Loyal to her family before anything else.

Soft gasp
I love her!
