Atli
ROSA 'Ingrid Bergman'
"Maybe we should just go home and discuss this with Margret unless there is something you can tell us that she cannot?" Was this passive-aggressive? Yes. This women was already wasting their time though with insults and blaming the person Atli looked up to most in the world though. Surely, she had a good reason, Margret always did.
HYACINTHUS ORIENTALIS
- Whatever Hyacinth was to do, it would surely be gorgeous if not a tad destructive. "Oh how lovely!" She adds, trying not to give any unwanted opinions. After all she was partial to Mozart, but it was not her celebration.
- Queen
VANILLA PLANIFOLIA
Atli blinks crystal blue eyes in surprise at Eleanor's departure, pausing before standing on her tip toes and calling out a belated 'Thank you' with the woman's disappearance. She turns to Lucas, nervous energy clear on her expression. "Did I umm, do something wrong?"
VIOLA ODORATA
At least Kailey was impressed with her abilities, this actually makes her feel better.
THELYMITRA CRINITA
- Out of the corner of her eye she catches the perfectly tailored suit of one Vyv, forcing her gaze to move from Lucas only momentarily she calls out "Hello Maître Pâtissier Vydal!", before the dangerously whipping curls snap back in the firefighters direction. The words are said correctly because someone as pretentious as Atli does in fact know some french. Additionally the man had hosted for Hyacinth annnnd it helped that he dressed the way that he did in getting attention from someone with a shorter span of it.
- Prince
MENTHA
Not always the most aware, Atli does manage to catch Erin's eyebrow raise. The reaction this gets is something that happens so entirely rarely, it might as well be a world wonder. The closest that Atli comes to admitting she is wrong is self deprecation to someone she sees as deserving of respect. "Oh no Erin! You are just so fashionable I could never keep up. Mom makes light of how conservative I am on occasion by telling me I am going to only be able to shop at Anne Taylor at this rate." A slight blush spreads across her cheeks.
ACHILLEA MILLEFOLIUM
The idea that someone else may want genuine answers regarding the causation of current matters seems to put some genuine happiness into her demeanor, furthering the glint in her gaze.
RUBUS FRUTICOSUS
I entirely understand that leap Vincenzo, however, I am certain other activities are to occupy Uncle Patrick’s mind given the holiday. His calendar is sure to be filled with many important clients like Jack and James.
SEQUOLOIDEAE
For a few long beats she is only able to clutch her prize and look at him. It had been the happiest three months of her life. If he thought she was having a difficult time setting the box down, it would surely only be exasperated once the piece was around her neck. “I love you.” She breathes. “And I think...it may be a good idea to officially end the lease on your apartment...”
ACER CARPINIFOLIUM
Atli smiles at the poets prose, before realizing he was in fact drawing ever closer. The realization dawning of a desire for intimacy from the intelligent man horrified her. This was not due to a lack of attractiveness, rather that she had only begun fanning an old flame the day before. She has enough time to turn her cheek to him, moving her lips away from reach.
FRAXINUS NIGRA
"You are just the sweetest thing!" The comment does widen her grin, cheeks dimpling. The expression lessens at the mention of her father's memory. She struggles a bit the remain smiling at all with what that drags up. "I'm sure he would be very proud,"
DIGITARIA
There was not much to be done about the game shop owner. Maybe she could recommend a therapist to her so that she could have some practice talking to people in the real world.
RUMEX ACETOSELLA
Perhaps she will think of him again when his untimely death comes in the paper, or his name appears on an angel tree for the homeless. If only he had been blessed with more stability.
AMRANTH
This boy had just called her some sort of slang term and suggested she would desire to be with him in a corner.

- The 'A' In Planning - Atli loves putting together events and hosting
Daughter of Marlene and Michael Addington, Atli was brought up to be a lady in the truest sense of the word. For many years she can recall happy memories around the Queen Anne house including practicing at the families piano on occasion, holiday parties, and exploring the outside landscape. From an early age she was expected to help with family events with immaculate manners. The importance of things like this is often lost on children and at around the age of five, Atli learned a lesson the hard way.
She was running about the Addington house playing, and tripped. The fall caused a vase to clatter to the floor with several pieces breaking off. Terrified of getting in trouble and having to explain that she was disobeying rules, Atli wished more than anything in the world it would come back together. This is when she noticed a portion that had nearly cracked off had been repaired. In her little frilly dress she sat for hours, cross legged on the floor, willing the pieces perfectly in place. Thinking herself rather clever, she replaced the vase to it’s home and thought nothing of this, until that night.
That July evening, she began having horrible nightmares of long monstrous shapes clawing at her with sharp claws. Each time she woke, she swore they were nearby. The more afraid Atli became, the more nights she had terrible dreams. She became a paranoid sort of child, believing that if she could behave perfectly, the darkness would go away.
Try as she might, whilst being the perfect Addington angel, the anxieties and depression ate at her. Believing she had somehow brought this upon herself, she only tried harder and found she took on the negative emotions of those around her at times. An Addington lady does not have problems or paranoia. Afraid of her parents' reactions she hid and spiraled for years, taking her first ticket out of town, University.
During her time in school she found herself begin to find peace and even able to study abroad in France for a time. Atli forgot over time the details of her difficulties growing up, chalking them up to an anxiety disorder that had gone untreated. She carried around a need to fix things, obtaining a Bachelor’s degree in Historic Preservation and Conservation. She interned for a couple of years, cultivating some techniques in restoration.
Atli returned home for her father's funeral in September of 2019 only briefly due to a stringent internship. She does not entirely understand what happened, chalking it up primarily to a mentally ill man committing a series of violent crimes. Seeing how strongly this has effected her mother she worked out an accelerated completion of her training in order to move back to Gray Harbor and care for Marlene. Atli has decided to work for her Uncle Patrick despite his sometimes difficult nature, after all, you can never really stop being an Addington.
Classic and classy in her style of beauty, Atli is always put together. Mid-length angel blonde curls frame stormy blue, long lashed eyes. Obsessed with perfection, she is always done up, even when sanding. Atli subscribes to a simple and chic "timeless" style ranging from simple sundresses, to slim fitting jeans with blouses. When stressed, she pins her hair up in the back, a sign of a challenging project. Her slender form has defined biceps. A toned, almost model-like silhouette.

2021-06-18 - Smoking In the Boy's Room
Sheltering people at Teddy S. Addington High is all well and good but in between the antics, the drama, and the occasional monster sighting, there needs to be time to slip out back, find somewhere out of the wind, and have a bloody smoke. And maybe steal a school bus and do some laundry.
