Recruitment: A Tale of Two Sisters

[NancyDrew]

So @Wizard9876 and @Melakka have both expressed particular interest in playing the spankee in a sister-sister scenario. I would, of course, be more than glad to do both RPs separately as the older sister, but thought it wise to float the idea openly, hear if the two can be integrated, and for you to provide more information on your respective ideas of your character. Input from others & potential collaboration is more than welcome!

So, my idea of my own character might go along these lines: Rita Van Doren (24) is a responsible, conscientious introvert, quite civil and polite but with an authoritarian streak. Although her own instinct had always been to reason with people, she has found it harder and harder to get anything done or maintain order with that method as time goes by. Having grown up with a frequently absent, immature and neglectful single mother, she had taught herself the virtues of independence and self-reliance quite early on. The relationship was stormy, but mostly from the girls' hysterical mother Erica's side, whilst Rita was mostly patient and focus on building her career. The upbringing was lenient, which Rita herself intimately objected to, finding that her seven years younger sister was running wild and, being someone who naturally expects others to be as organised and respectful as she was, was somewhat surprised to find beneath her courteous and well-mannered self an urge to behave as a harsh disciplinarian. She has, however, mostly repressed such impulses, as she always does. A pedantic workaholic she has managed to finish medical school in record time and with the best grades, but even now keeps odd hours sipping coffee and going over paperwork of all sorts, trying to scrape a living for the two, which has grown yet more difficult since all the (in any case meagre) finances from their now late mother (since almost a year ago) have ceased. Her younger sister, whom she has always cherished but who seems to have a knack to drive her to the limits of patience, is noticeably irreverent towards any rules Rita attempts to impose - be it curfews, schoolwork or a healthy diet.

Younger sister Melanie van Doren (17) has always loved and looked up to big sis Rita but has become painfully aware she is nowhere near as clever so will not be able to follow in her footsteps in the world of medicine and as a result has become withdrawn and troublesome. Her main skill has been found to be tinkering with and repairing engines through which she's been drawn into the thrill of riding on motorbikes whenever she can and fully intends to get her hands on one of her own (one way or another) as soon as possible. She feels worldly and independent despite clear evidence to the contrary and rejects many societal rules as well as her sister's authority. She is likely to be experimenting with hair dyeing, tattooing, goth culture etc in an attempt to find her identity.
She is aware deep down that Rita is holding their lives together but rarely acknowledges it even to herself, has no interest in homework, curfews, school spirit, healthy diet or sleep and is ever ready to argue about them when challenged.
