Romy's worst fears are spiders and decision making. She runs to feel her heart beating in her chest. Don't ask her about her boyfriend.

Tara's got fire for a heart and she's not scared of the dark, but she does, sadly, get seasick a lot which is why she prefers to answer advice for her column in the shower instead. All the water, none of the boat rocking.

Niall likes to think of himself as the Ron Weasley to Tara's Hermione. By which he means, he's the funny one, and she's got a stick up her arse.

Harry loves the sound of his own voice; thank God other people love it too. You can hear him on the campus radio station on Thursday nights (or, as Romy calls them, Friday mornings).

Zayn always smells like cigarette smoke. He hasn't met a porch stoop he won't sit on, and he hasn't arrived on time to a lecture since his first day at uni.

Teddy named her cat after herself. She likes to think she's Lorelai Gilmore. She's not.

Kyla was born on Friday the 13th. She eats bad luck for breakfast and always cleans up after herself. Kyla prefers not to leave a trace.

Liam is your best friend. No, really, he is.

Teddy's cat. She named it after herself. It's orange.

Zach gets mistaken for Percy Jackson a lot, which he would maybe be ok with if it means he's half god.

Arden thinks she's got quite a bit of soul for a ginger, Liam maybe thinks so too, but Tara and Niall aren't very sure half the time.

Romy's land-lord/stand-in mother figure. Does not like prunes. May or may be the widow of a gangster.

Maya doesn't care about the fact that your dog ate your homework or that some stupid boy broke your heart, because if you've got a deadline and you haven't done it then, well, better start writing your will.
