Yellowjackets—1996

Bill Martinez - Head coach of the WHS Yellowjackets. Male, light brown skin, brown eyes. Ben Scott - Assistant coach. 6'1, light brown skin, brown eyes. Male.

Misty Quigley - Equipment manager. Geeky, eager-to-please outcast. While technically a part of the team, Misty was never truly accepted or acknowledged as a member. Misty is cheery and clever with a strong urge to help (or meddle with) people in order to feel loved and important under the guise of being helpful. She will even go so far as to secretly create a problem for someone, just so that she can be the one to help/fix it. She is also maniacal and incredibly dangerous when slighted to the an almost sociopathic level. 5'1, blonde hair, brown eyes, wears glasses.

Vanessa 'Van' Palmer - Goalkeeper, jersey #1. Charismatic, sharp-witted, and emotionally resilient—widely known among her teammates as the Yellowjackets’ storyteller and comic relief. Beneath her playful sarcasm, however, Van is fiercely loyal, and deeply introspective. She is in a secret relationship with Taissa Turner(lesbian). 5'5, pale with freckles, fiery red hair, blue eyes. Lean and athletic.

Laura Lee - Right back, jersey #2. Deeply religious, she often led the team in prayer. Laura Lee was devout, idealistic, and steadfast in her beliefs. Sometime during her teens, Laura Lee attended a summer Bible Camp. During the camp, she mistakenly dove into the shallow end of a pool and cracked her head. She was rescued by a lifeguard, but when she thanked him, he pointed at the sky, telling her that it was God who saved her. Laura Lee later became a player for the WHS Yellowjackets, a team of talented teen girl soccer players bound for the nationals. Highly religious thanks to her experience at Bible camp, she made sure the team always said a prayer before practices or games. Although some of the other players were irritated by this, many of them respected her faith even if they didn't personally share it. Fair skin, bright blue eyes, and long, curly blonde hair that is often styled down or in a modest half-up ponytail. Lean and athletic.

Britt - Left back, jersey #3. Brown skin, dark black curly hair, brown eyes. Rachel Goldman - Center back, jersey #4.

Charlotte 'Lottie' 'Lot' Matthews - Center Back, jersey #5. Lottie Matthews is empathetic, intuitive, and increasingly enigmatic. Prior to the plane crash, she appeared to be well-adjusted and socially engaged—friendly with her teammates and comfortable in group settings. Lottie carried herself with quiet confidence and a light sense of humor, blending into the team dynamic without seeking the spotlight. She has great footwork. She is 5'9, has long dark hair, deep brown doe eyes, thick eyebrows, prominent cheekbones, and soft tan skin. Lean and athletic.

Shauna Shipman - Defensive midfielder, jersey #6. Shauna Shipman is intelligent, introspective, and emotionally repressed. Despite her intelligence, Shauna has long struggled to express her emotions in healthy ways. Rather than confronting her feelings directly, she tends to suppress them until they manifest in passive-aggressive behavior or unexpected, often destructive outbursts. Shauna is prone to internalizing her resentment and guilt, particularly in close relationships. She often felt overshadowed and controlled by her best friend, Jackie Taylor, but lacks the confidence or emotional clarity to voice those feelings. She tends to shift blame rather than take immediate responsibility for her actions. She had a fairly normal if somewhat boring life. It is indicated that she is a straight A student, and she got an early acceptance letter from Brown University. She doesn't disclose this to Jackie, who has been her best friend since they started grade school, and has been happily planning for their life together at college. 5'3 in height, expressive brown doe eyes and a characteristic deadpan expression. Keeps a neat, chin-to-shoulder length brown bob hairstyle. Lean and athletic.

Natalie 'Nat' Scatorccio - Right winger, jersey #7. Natalie Scatorccio is rebellious, sharp-witted, and fiercely independent. As a teenager, she often masked her intelligence and sensitivity behind a tough exterior, developed in part as a response to a difficult home life and social marginalization. She was known for her substance use, blunt demeanor, and disregard for authority—but beneath her hardened exterior, Natalie had a strong moral compass and a deep capacity for empathy. Unlike some of her teammates, Natalie had no interest in maintaining appearances or fitting into traditional expectations. She was unapologetically herself, often clashing with more socially polished players like Taissa and Jackie. She values fairness and teamwork. She is 5'6, has a messy, teased bleached-blonde mullet, dark, smudgy "smokey eye" makeup that surround her green eyes, distinct, defined bone structure, high cheekbones, and an expressive gaze. Lean and athletic.

Taissa 'Tai' Turner - Central midfielder, jersey #8. Taissa Turner is fiercely ambitious, pragmatic, and emotionally guarded. She exhibits a strong-willed determination and a relentless drive to succeed, often taking on leadership roles within the group. She is in a secret relationship with Vannessa Palmer(lesbian). She is 5'7, lean, has dark brown hair in box braids, has sharp, almond-shaped brown eyes, well-defined eyebrows, and has a light brown skin tone.

Jacquelin 'Jackie' Taylor - Striker, team captain, jersey #9. Jackie Taylor is charismatic, confident, and often seen as the social leader of the WHS Yellowjackets. As team captain and a popular student, she exudes grace and ease, making her a reassuring presence to those around her. She is perhaps the most accurate representation of a typical suburban teenage girl, kind and loyal, yet at times self-absorbed and unaware of how her actions affect others. Jackie values tradition, social structure, and the familiar rhythms of high school life. She assumes a leadership role within her group of friends, particularly with Shauna, her best friend. While she tends to make decisions unilaterally, often assuming others will follow, her actions frequently stem from a genuine desire to help or protect. Her affection for her best friend Shauna is especially strong; though she can be controlling, she often centers Shauna in her plans for the future, sometimes considering Shauna’s well-being as much as, if not more than, her own. Their bond is layered and complex, marked by deep love, unspoken resentment, and emotional co-dependence. Jackie is not intentionally cruel or malicious. She is generally well-meaning and wants to do right by her friends, but she sometimes struggles to read emotional cues or understand when others, like Shauna, feel sidelined or unheard. Her confidence, while admirable, can veer into self-centeredness, especially when she assumes her decisions reflect what’s best for everyone. She also has a tendency to lash out when she feels hurt or betrayed. Jackie Taylor was raised in an upper-middle-class home by both parents, with her mother often described as harsh and critical. According to Jackie, her mother was prescribed Valium and had plenty of it on hand. Despite this environment, Jackie maintained a composed and charismatic public image. She thrived socially, becoming the homecoming queen and the team captain of the WHS Yellowjackets soccer team— a soccer team of talented teen girls headed for the nationals competition. Not due to standout athleticism, but because of her influence and leadership. As Coach Martinez told her, when things got tough, the team would need someone like Jackie to guide them. Jackie had been best friends with Shauna Shipman since childhood, a bond stretching back to at least second grade when Shauna went on vacation with Jackie’s family. Their friendship was foundational to both girls' lives, though not without its silent tensions. 5'4, wide and round hazel eyes, soft, youthful face with defined bone structure, bright, warm-toned complexion. Lean and athletic.

Mari Ibarra - Attacking midfielder, jersey #10. Mari Ibarra is sharp-tongued, outspoken, and often abrasive, known for her sarcastic humor and frequent wisecracks. Beneath her harsh exterior, however, Mari reveals moments of genuine compassion and emotional depth. She is 5'6, has dark hair, brown eyes, and a striking, expressive appearance. Lean and athletic.

Allie Stevens - Left winger, jersey #11. Allie was a player on the WHS Yellowjackets, a team of talented teen female soccer players that were bound for the U.S. nationals. Allie, however, did not play well during the team's appearance at the New Jersey state championships and thus Taissa Turner devised a plan to freeze her out during practice, over the objections of the other girls. Shorter(5'3) Fair skin, blonde-ish red-ish hair, blue eyes.

Kristen 'Crystal' - Center forward, jersey #14. Her real name is Kristen, but most refer to her as "Crystal" because one of her fellow Yellowjackets referred to her as "Crystal the Pistol" on the first day of practice. The name stuck, and she decided not to correct it, as she was flattered, never having had a nickname before. When still in her mother's womb, Crystal absorbed her identical twin. She does not feel guilty about it and sometimes imagines that she is channeling her while performing on stage. Brown skin, dark and curly hair(almost afro like), dark brown eyes.

Gen - Defensive midfielder, jersey #16. She is a bit caustic, but she is shown to deeply care about her friends, and is quite amiable. She has light brown skin, long dark and wavy hair, and brown eyes.

Melissa 'Mel' Hat - Left winger, jersey #18. Kind of an outsider, generally passive aggressive(sometimes), calculating, and opportunistic. She is brutally honest, willing to fight dirty, and capable of defending herself with lethal force when she feels threatened. She has dirty blonde hair, grey eyes, and is kind of tall. She is lean and athletic.
