element: water x air
mbti type: enfp
hogwarts house: hufflepuff
feminine archetype: the maiden - the ingenue: from the wiggle in their walk to the sparkle in their eye and their unpredictable lifestyle, the ingenue types make people swoon to the point where it becomes one of their defining traits. this type has the most girlish tendencies and can often come off as charming, soft and sweet but as a direct paradox, also dark, care-free and rebellious. on the down side, this type can be too malleable which often makes them become co-dependant. naivety is one of their major downfalls.

CHILDHOOD CANONS.
all six girls were born in the same private london hospital - amber and felicity even had the same midwife. working canonically, eloise was born in 1994, amber in 1995, felicity in 1998, violet in 2000 and lacey and zara in 2002, meaning there’s only really eight short years between the girls.
only amber would have been alive to meet eloise’s birth mother, cora. when cora and gerald got a divorce, the original agreement was for cora to rent a hotel room so that she could still coparent. this happened for around 3 years before it was clear anthea and cora weren't going to get on. she moved to the south of england and for a little while, eloise would still pay her visits but this stopped just after her fifth birthday.
amber, eloise and felicity were often known as the golden trio going through school because they were inseparable despite being in different year groups. their individual friendship groups often merged and there would always be little girls running around the calloway in anthea’s dresses or having sleepovers in one of the suites.
relations between eloise and anthea weren’t ALWAYS bad. even though anthea liked to make sure amber stayed on top, she knew she couldn’t be seen bullying a little girl. the isolation was always sneaky; for instance, buying all 3 girls dresses and getting amber & felicity matching ones while eloise’s was slightly different. or, snapping pictures of amber and felicity on day trips/vacations and making sure those were the ones that got framed. eloise only really noticed as she got older and that’s when things fell apart.
gerald had a very active roll in all three of the older girls lives. he was at every recital, parents evening, sports day etc. they were and still are his world. he adores violet, lacey and zara too but their dynamic is a little bit different now that he’s busier with the hotel.
felicity was always the best at sports. she surpassed amber and eloise in her swimming lessons despite starting later and would always win on sport’s days too, which made her pretty popular with the kids at school.
when anthea was pregnant with violet, she and gerald purchased the family’s second home; a scenic property in Cornwall (south-west of England), overlooking the ocean and with acres of land. many summers were spent down here and it turned out to be eloise’s favourite of the three homes (hotel, london home and that one)
once on a car ride down to cornwall, violet was sick everywhere which meant they had to pull over on to the hard shoulder to sort everything out. amber refused to sit next to her after that which meant anthea was stuck in the back passenger seats with felicity and vi.
when violet was born, felicity went into a meltdown for about 2 weeks because she realised she was no longer the baby. however, she soon realised she had somebody to boss around and was fine with that.
the girls went on their first full family vacation when the twins were four, eloise was twelve, amber was eleven, felicity was nine and violet was six. it was orlando, florida and was in celebration of eloise’s birthday and her and amber starting high school. it was easily one of the most memorable trips for all of the girls.
violet was the quietest/easiest child. she wasn’t passive or a pushover and would fight her sisters if they tried it, but she didn’t need much attention to stay entertained. she was obsessed with the tweenies and would be pretty happy just watching that, reading or playing with her toys.
9 times out of ten, if amber got in trouble, it was because she used anthea’s make up or stole a piece of jewellery for school and lost it. once she used her mum’s vintage Chanel bag for a non-uniform day and leaked lucozade all through the inside. naturally, it was felicity who snitched on her.
from the perspectives of their primary school teachers:
eloise - the teacher’s pet, the right amount of talkative, kind, caring, pretty good at all subjects
amber - english smart but not maths smart, a bit chatty, more focused on her friends but always polite
felicity - NEVER paying attention but somehow always understood the work, only really liked practical experiments in science and loved PE, fidgety but every teacher had a bit of a soft spot.
violet - freakishly smart, a high-achiever, more on the quiet side compared to her older sisters, never got involved in class discussions but shined when it came to independent work
lacey - a know-it-all and a bit of a show off, had multiple trips to the headteacher, loves the attention and would do her best when she got to be in the spotlight, not their fave sister to teach
zara - quiet, an average student; probably the weakest out of the six academically, charming, polite, excelled in art, quite shy and only had a small group of friends
gerald and the girls’ would have “secret meetings” in McDonalds where he’d take them to the nearest drive-thru and bought them what they wanted once every two weeks if they did well in all of their classes/clubs. this was all behind anthea’s back because fast food was a no-no to her.
when lacey and zara started reception at four, it was anthea’s only chance to have a school photograph of ALL of the girls in primary school because it would’ve been eloise’s last year (she was eleven and in year 6). that exact photo sits on the mantlepiece of their london home; zara’s crying in it and sat on amber’s lap, lacey’s not smiling on eloise’s lap, violet is smiling but has multiple teeth missing and has pen on her face, eloise is blinking, amber’s annoyed at not being middle and felicity is doing the peace sign and pouting (something she was specifically asked not to do)
the girls have ALWAYS had their own rooms because their house was big enough to accommodate. they all had pastel colours because anthea wouldn’t allow anything else but lacey, violet and felicity’s were always notoriously messy. violet also somehow managed to buy a secret goldfish when she was ten and kept it in her room for a few months before the housekeeper ratted her out.
when eloise started high school, she would pick up the girls from school and would walk them to the park and get ice-cream for them when it was sunny, even though she was only a year older. she was definitely like a mini-mom.
at first, eloise and amber were inseparable and then when felicity came along, amber and felicity became stupidly close and eloise always felt like a bit of an outsider. when violet came, the dynamics shifted again. violet was a lot closer to felicity and amber and eloise started to bond more. then, when the twins came, the four older girls came together a lot more. as they grew up, it’d often be violet, lacey and zara and then felicity, amber and eloise but nowadays the dynamics shift a lot and it really depends on what’s happening in their lives.
it’s a running joke that zara is eloise’s mini-me, lacey is felicity’s and violet is amber’s.
without fail, zara would be the first one awake on christmas morning. she’d wake up lacey, and then they’d go and wake up felicity because they knew she didn’t care about waking up their parents. that would prompt the other girls to get up too.
lacey used to have a HUGE fear of father christmas and would never go to any grottos or anything like that. there’s only pictures of the other five girls visiting santa because she used to actively have an anxiety attack at the mere thought.
all of the girls used to get invited to sleepovers but amber was always picked up before falling asleep because she’d get homesick and used to hate the idea of sleeping in somebody else’s sheets. a few of the parents actually found her quite rude and gerald could only apologise.
in adulthood, the height order is; felicity, amber, lacey, eloise, violet and then zara, but for a long time, eloise was the tallest, lacey, amber and felicity all had growth spurts when they hit 13 or 14.
felicity, amber and eloise once got banned from the internet for talking to strangers on club penguin and using pictures of one of their older cousins (who was a model and beautiful) to draw people in. gerald was furious.
their childhood dog was a Japanese Spitz called Marie Antoinette (named by felicity)
VACATION MEMORIES CANONS.
the orlando, florida vacation was the first holiday the girls went on with all six of them. they stayed in a home owned by gerald in Disney’s golden oaks; zara and eloise shared a room, felicity and violet shared a room and so did amber and lacey shared. the house was inspired by the princesses; amber, felicity and eloise all had a say in the design process.
on that same holiday, the girls insisted on wearing princess dresses to the park. there’s a photograph of the six of them in front of the castle wearing them. eloise was snow white, amber was sleeping beauty, felicity was cinderella, violet was ariel, lacey was belle and zara was jasmine.
“it’s a small world” ended up being eloise’s favourite ride and because of this, the girls ended up riding it a total of eight times. she still has a t-shirt with the attraction on it today.
zara refused to go on the jungle cruise because she was scared of the water and animatronics but then cried when all of her sisters (and gerald) got into the queue without her. the result ended up being her riding on gerald’s lap with him covering her eyes the whole way around.
felicity and amber told violet that the haunted mansion had real ghosts and kept tickling her neck when in line to creep her out. they were successful. she cried and anthea ended up having to take her back off the ride in the dark, leaving gerald with the other girls. gerald rode with lacey and zara and eloise, amber and felicity rode together. they all lowkey found it funny, but weren't allowed to mention it again.
when they went to one of the florida beaches, felicity went to surfboarding classes with a friend she made and ended up getting stung by a jellyfish. gerald had to sit in A&E with her for the rest of the day while anthea looked after the other girls.
the girl’s when to typhoon lagoon (a water park) in orlando and amber somehow managed to convince their parents to let her, amber, felicity and violet go off by themselves. it resulted in the older girls losing violet for half an hour until they found her crying by the lazy river. they all bribed her with getting to ride home in the front passenger seat to keep quiet. their parents STILL dont know that she was lost.
a boy staying in the house opposite had a crush on amber and would constantly knock on their door and runaway in hopes she would answer. this made gerald very protective even though she was only eleven & he insisted on answering the door to give him a fright every single time.
they went on a boat that took them whale and dolphin watching, which turned out to be a core memory for all of the girls.
the golden oaks house in disney hasn’t been visited for a while but the girls currently have joint ownership and planned to do a similar vacation when they all have their own children. or at least, that used to be the plan. things have obviously become more strained.
amber and eloise went away for amber’s eighteenth birthday to greece. it was their first time going away without their parents and the other girls were massively jealous. most of it was spent being drunk at night and flirting with guys, and then sunbathing on the beach for the day.
the girl’s have never been on vacation with the six of them without their parents because of the incident with lacey but when they were in their childhood, they scrapbooked that one day they’d go to Hawaii. it’s still yet to be crossed off of their bucket list.
the second family vacation they went on the twins were 14, violet was 16, felicity was 18, amber was 20 and eloise was 21. they were going on a cruise of the caribbean and there were A LOT more arguments on the trip where they were that bit older.
the girls stopped off in the bahamas where felicity, lacey, violet and zara went scuba diving with their dad and eloise and amber went to shop in the local area. zara ended up getting scared but it was too late for her to catch up with the others so she was made to sit with the instructor, who had to listen to her whining the whole time.
amber and felicity clashed massively over a designer dress which they both claimed to be theirs in the suitcase. it led to physical blows and the rooms being shuffled around; eloise roomed with amber, zara roomed with felicity and then violet and lacey stayed together.
zara had a huge crush on a family friend’s son that they decided to do the cruise with and the girls constantly teased her about it. one time amber caught her stuffing her training bra in the bathroom and she never lived it down. turns out he actually had a crush on eloise, even though she was eight years too old for him and definitely didn’t feel the same.
eloise would burn the easiest and felicity developed a game of accidentally on purpose slapping her sun burn whenever she could, which often led to an argument of some kind. the other girls lowkey got on board though because it was funny.
lacey and violet used to get mocktails from the cruise ships bar and would try to impress people as they walked past. obviously it never worked.
TEENAGE YEARS CANONS.
eloise became a lot more quiet during her teen years. she had a small group of friends and preferred staying in compared to her younger sisters. she had anxiety about missing out and having regrets but could never bring herself to go out in the same way amber and felicity did as they got older.
amber was signed to her first modelling agency at 16 and felicity was livid. it caused a lot of drama and arguments, even though felicity was signed just a couple of years later. amber chose to stay in high school and balance her jobs as she went. she remained very popular and definitely one of the “it girls” of her year group. that being said, she was the victim of jealousy and quite a few girls didn’t like her/would be bitchy towards her.
felicity was the first to get a boyfriend. she was around 14-15 and he was 17. obviously gerald wasn’t impressed. zara was terrified of him (growing up in a predominantly female household) and would never come out of her room when he came over. it was short-lived anyway.
violet was one of the rare teens who was boosted a grade once she got to high school. her genius quickly became clear and she actually sat a lot of classes in the grade above. she got to finish high school at 14 rather than 16, like most british teenagers do. she entered a few competitions for her writing and mathematic skills too and made the local newspaper.
lacey was acting while in high school and had her big break at 13. she came out of education pretty quickly and was home-schooled/taught on set instead. she never really had high school experiences the way her sisters did.
even though she had a career like lacey, she wasn’t as popular or in demand in the early years so zara was in school until she was 15. she actually came into her own there and was pretty popular, although she got into the horrible habit of dumbing herself down so that guys she crushed on would have to help her. anthea found out and went crazy. she was grounded for 3 weekends.
anthea took the eloise, amber, felicity and violet to see the spice girls and britney spears. that was their first experience of a concert and they all got to go backstage both times. for a halloween party, the four girls actually went as their favourite members; amber was posh spice, eloise was baby spice, felicity was sporty and violet was ginger.
eloise and felicity actually took zara and lacey to their first concert when the girls turned 14 (eloise was 21 and felicity was 18). they went to see miley cyrus.
by the time all of the girls were reaching late teens/in young adulthood, zara and lacey spent a lot of their time in los angeles filming, felicity and amber had separate modelling jobs, which left eloise and violet at home (even though violet was often at university). still, that gave them a lot of time to get closer. they always met up on a sunday for dinner and would go shopping together.
the girls used to scrapbook their weddings. they all bought notepads from a stationary store and did them in detail, making sure there were no crossovers. they planned for eloise to be zara’s maid of honor, zara would be lacey’s maid of honor, lacey would be violet’s, violet would be felicity’s, felicity would be amber’s and amber would be eloise’s, that way, nobody would be left out.
lacey went through a phase where she’d steal felicity’s clothes and go out in them. it led to massive arguments, especially when she’d stain or tear them from doing whatever it was she was doing.
when amber started dating marcus, lacey had a weird obsession with him and would always want to be around when he came over. this obviously irritated amber and she’d go into her room and close the door...which would lead to her getting into trouble with gerald, and then the cycle would continue.
violet and felicity had a tradition of going to coachella together for a few years.
working from canon, amber had her first boyfriend at 19, eloise had her first boyfriend at 25, felicity had her first at 15, lacey had her first boyfriend at 16, zara at 17 and violet at 20. amber had the longest relationship of the six and violet had the shortest, she definitely struggles in giving so much of herself to someone.
the worst christmas on record was when the twins were 13, violet was 15, felicity was 17, amber was 20 and eloise 21; anthea found out gerald had been having an affair and there was a huge screaming match in the kitchen. the girls spent most of the day up in their rooms before eloise snuck the other girls out the back of the house and drove them to her college apartment. they had a mini-christmas there. nobody really spoke of it since then.
when lacey was “sent away/died”, the family became VERY distant. eloise moved out permanently as did amber and felicity. violet spent most of her time in her university accommodation and zara would be home, but always in her room or hidden away.
the girls spoke in their own language when extended family came over so that they could bitch about them without them knowing :’)
LOVE LIVES & ROMANCE.
one thing that ties the girls together is that love and romance is a big thing in their lives and they all have their own struggles with it, but deep down want something true and happy.
ELOISE - struggles with shyness and rarely gives people the chance to get to know her. she’s insecure and can be quick to assume that people aren’t attracted to her. she dreams of a traditional love; getting married, having children and being content.
AMBER - amber attracts all kinds of guys and has always been able to have her pick. she’s often been referred to as the most beautiful sister and in a way, that’s given her unrealistic standards. she can be shallow too. however, in her mid-teens she started to realise she was gay but had no idea what to do with that information and has buried it.
FELICITY - spontaneous and bold, always makes the first move and loves the chase. she likes the idea of being wanted but not being tied down. though, the older she gets, the more she realises that she’s scared of being misunderstood and her non-committal attitude is a self-defence mechanism.
VIOLET - has an idealised view of romance. she gets all of her ideas from books and films. she was VERY invested in celebrities growing up and genuinely believed she’d marry her famous crush one day. now she’s twenty-something, she’s realising it’s not that easy and everybody falls short of her expectations. she’s a sucker for falling in love with ideas and doesnt exactly know what she wants.
LACEY - lacey loves dating and the early stages of relationships. her trust was broken pretty quickly after the sa when she was a child, though, and often views herself as not being good enough for commitment, hence why she’s quick to cut people off. deep down, she wants the opposite of what everyone thinks she wants; someone gentle and soft who’ll genuinely love and care for her.
ZARA - the most outwardly romantic. she falls in love with ALL versions of love and craves it. her ideal situation would be being with someone longterm and knowing that they get her, are patient and want her for more than her body. she definitely confuses sex for love and tends to find herself in situations where she’s used or degraded.
in canon, despite all of the girls struggling with romance and love, they ALL have the one person who is kind of “right” for them, even if they’re technically not together. for zara it’s danny and for lacey it’s lorenzo, the other girls may or may not have these!
SONG LYRICS THAT TIE THE GIRLS TOGETHER.
“nothing lasts forever, but this is gonna take me down”... “say you’ll remember me, standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe; red lips and rosy cheeks, say you’ll see me again, even if it’s just pretend.” (wildest dreams, taylor swift)
“i am not my body, not my mind, not my brain, not my thoughts or feelings, I am not my DNA. I am the observer, I'm the witness of life. I live in the space between the stars and the sky.” (ancient dreams in a modern land, MARINA)
“feel like I'm always apologising for feeling; like I'm out of my mind when I'm doing just fine.” (anxiety, julia michaels and selena gomez)
“cause it’s my problem if I wanna pack up and runaway, it’s my business if I feel the dream to smoke and drink and sway, it’s my problem, it’s my problem if I feel I need a high; and it’s my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die.” (are you satisfied?, marina)
“when you are young they assume you know nothing.” ... “I knew you, tried to change the ending, peter losing wendy.” ... “I knew you’d linger like a tattoo kiss, I knew you’d haunt all of my what if’s, the smell of smoke would hang around this long, cause I knew everything when I was young.” (cardigan, taylor swift)
“hey girl, look at my mom, she’s got it going on; you’re blinded by her jewellery. when you turn your back, she pulls out a flask and forgets his infidelity.” ... “everyone thinks that we’re perfect, please don’t let them look through the curtains.” (dollhouse, melanie martinez)
“cause some people make me bitter; smile and squeeze the lime in my cut. and some people make me sweeter; cause they make me feel like I am enough and that make a giver, but my mom says I tend to give too much and some people make me better and that’s how I know my favourite part of me is you.” (favourite part of me, Astrid S)
“girls are not meant to fight dirty, never look a day past thirty, not gonna bend over a curtsey for you; is there any possibility you’ll quit gossiping about me to hide your insecurities?” (girls, MARINA)
“there will be mountains you won’t move. still, I will always be there for you how I do.” ... “you look down on where you came from sometimes, but you love this place called home, always.” (godspeed, frank ocean)
“who are you to tell me, tell me, who to be, to be? you’re my last bone of contention that could break at any mention. you’re the last one that will stand tall, ‘til the end of the wall. i know you only want to own me and that’s the kind of love you show me.” (hypocrates, MARINA)
"shall we look at the moon, my little lune, why do you cry? make the most of your life while it is rife, while it is light.” (Fourth of July, sufjan Stevens)
THE WHOLE SONG LIABILITY BY LORDE
“I feel like if I'm too kind then you will only change your mind. take advantage of my heart, and I'll go back into the dark” (lonely hearts club, MARINA)
“isn’t it lovely? all alone, heart made of glass, my mind of stone, tear me to pieces, skin and bone.” (lovely, Billie Eilish and Khalid)
“never be so kind, you forget to be clever. never be so clever, you forget to be kind.” ... “never be so polite, you forget your power. never wield such power, you forget to be polite.” ... “the autumn chill that wakes me up, you love the amber sky so much, strong winds and frozen swims you’d always go past where out feet could touch; and I'd complain the whole way there, the car ride back and up the stairs; I should’ve asked you questions, I should’ve asked you how to be.” (marjorie, taylor swift)
“the older I get the more that I see, my parent’s aren’t heroes, they’re just like me, loving is hard and it don’t always work, you just try your best not to get hurt.” (older, Sasha Alex sloan)
“Sometimes I’m lazy, I get bored, I get scared, I feel ignored. I feel happy, I get silly, I choke on my own words. I have wishes, I have dreams and I still want to believe that anything can happen in this world...” (Ordinary Girl, Hannah Montana)
