RSVPs to Mary's shower...thus far

 

JAMIE BOND
FBI Agent  | Friend of the Bride  

  Jamie Bond is a secret government agent and the ultimate femme fatale.  On the surface, she appears to be the typical high society socialite, but her close circle of friends know her true identity - a dangerous federal diva.      

After joining the feds, Jamie hadn't been home in Mystical Falls much. However, she won't miss Mary's shower for anything. She's cleared her schedule and was the first to send in her RSVP.  If she doesn't show - you'll know she's working on something very important.

Costume: Evening gown with a toy gun strapped to a garter belt/holster. 

 

DR. ANDIE MALUVER
Veterinarian |  Friend of the Bride   

Dr. Andie Maluver is a brilliant exotic animal veterinarian and the sister-in-law of the bride. Envious of and competitive with her peers, she tends to commit malicious acts. It is advisable for those who interact with Andie to stay on her good side!  

Dr. Maluver has sent in the RSVP to Mary's shower, but many of the others on the guest list are worried about her attending the shower. She doesn't always get along with others, and it is likely that she will cause drama. 

Costume:  A lab jacket and scrubs.  

 

GERRY RIVERA
Investigative Field Reporter  |  Friend of the Bride’s Mother-in-Law-To-Be (Enerbe Iznace) 

 Gerry Rivera is a ruthless field reporter for the CBC television station. She is always on top of the latest story- sometimes before the story happens!  This ultra-ambitious investigative reporter will stop at nothing to get the scoop.    

Gerry is best friends with Enerbe Iznace, Mary's to-be mother-in-law. However, Gerry has never met Mary, so it's curious that she asked for an invitation - through Enerbe, of course. People speculate it's because Gerry knows some scandalous celebrities and local personalities will be at the shower. She's looking for a story. 

Costume: Trendy business suit. Optional: notepad/pen, microphone (real or fake).  

 

MISS BEATRICE MARMSON
Schoolteacher | Friend of the Bride  

Miss Beatrice Marmson is the no-nonsense schoolteacher at Mystical Falls Elementary. She teaches a strict curriculum in her kindergarten class without putting up with a shred of balderdash in the classroom! 

Lately, the kids in her class have been acting up and having behavior problems. Beatrice blames not on the lazy parents, but also the fact that they are all on social media, listening to terrible music and watching inappropriate television shows. 

 Costume: Conservative long dress.

 

TRACY FIBERS
Forensic Lab Technician | Friend of the Bride

Tracy Fibers is the leading trace evidence technician in the field of forensic science. She is extremely talkative and will launch into wild tangents about random events during conversations. It is probably because she hangs around microscopes more than actual people.

Nobody could believe that Tracy sent in an RSVP to the shower, as her response to anything she is invited to is, "Sorry, I have work to do." Mary had even considered making Tracy a bridesmaid, but for fear of her not showing up, she didn't ask her. Now Mary feels lowkey bad for not including Tracy in the wedding party. 

Costume: Lab coat with glasses.

 

APPOLONIA SPECTRALS
Paranormal Investigator | Friend of the Bride

 Appolonia Spectrals is a mysterious paranormal investigator from Mystical Falls University. Given her field of choice, she has a rather unpredictable personality. She is a young graduate student who is very tired of being broke.

Appolonia deals with many of the locals who she grew up with making comments about her choice of a degree program, but she takes it in stride. She realizes not everyone believes in ghosts. 

Costume: Black clothing with strange ‘measuring devices’ (can be made from cardboard) as optional props.  

 

NENE BEENIE 
Professional Bowler | Grandmother of the Bride

  Grandma Nene is a doting grandmother and a dedicated friend to everybody. If you ever need a shoulder to cry on, find Nene’s!  She gives excellent advice and is the most comforting person around! However, dodge the black cloud above her head, as she has rotten luck!

Nene knows most of the folks in Mystical Falls, since it's a small town and the Beenie family have been there for many generations. 

Costume: Bowling attire (optional) or any attire fit for a grandmother.  

​

FASA SHONE
Clothing Designer | Aunt of the Bride 

 Fasa Shone is a former struggling barista from Mystical Falls and a five-time widow. Due to her late husband’s wealth she’s accrued, she lives the life of a pampered princess. Money has changed Fasa, as her previous honeyed disposition has soured over the years.  Nonetheless, Fasa is anything but boring.

Fasa was married to what she thought were wealthy men the first four times, but it wasn't until the last one did she get left with anything worth mentioning. She was growing tired of her husbands hiding financial troubles from her. But maybe she was the one causing the problems because of her spending habits? Nevertheless, she is well-off for now. Her two daughters, Hanna Heart and Legga Miego, are grateful that she's finally happy.

Costume: Ultra-trendy, stylish attire. 

 

POINDEXI BEENIE
Computer Programmer |  Aunt of the Bride

Details, details, details!  If you’re speaking to Poindexi Beenie, you had better get ready to hear a plethora of intricate fine points and facts!  She’s an over-explaining member of the Nerd Herd - a computer support team that travels to your home to remedy technological ailments!       

Poindexi’s daughter, Olive Formathe, is a self-critical mathematician who wears her nerdiness like a badge she wishes she could take off. Poindexi insists that being a nerd is the new cool, but Olive isn’t convinced. The constant jabs from the town’s snooty socialites and busybodies about their matching “nerdy” outfits certainly don’t help.

Costume: Nerdy attire.  

 

PATRICIA PRAPER
Etiquette School Director | Aunt of the Bride

 Known for a high IQ and perfect manners, Patricia Praper always gets what she wants.  When she sets her mind to something, she’s more than persistent until it is completed. She is very creative and imaginative with wide-ranging interests - but is extremely resistant to change.    

Patricia has two famous daughters: Reagan Peach - a soap opera star on Gorgeous Thieves and Hope Mountain - the #1 country and western recording artist. Patricia couldn't be prouder of her girls.  

Costume: Conservative long dress.  

 

HANNA HEART
NFL Cheerleader | Cousin of the Bride 

   Hanna Heart is an energetic cheerleader for the Greenday Backers football team!  She’s known for her outwardly aggressive persona and willingness to do what it takes to get her way!

Hanna is traveling to Mystical Falls for Mary's shower, as she misses her hometown more than anything. Plus - a bonus is that she'll get to see her mother, Fasa Shone, and Legga Miego, her semi-famous sister. 

Costume: Cheerleading uniform.  

​

LEGGA MIEGO
Commercial Actress | Cousin of the Bride

   Hailing originally from Colombia, Legga Miego is a famous commercial actress. She achieved fame with a legendary ad spot featuring a skirmish over a toaster waffle. The infamous brawl over the steaming toaster prize landed her co-star in the hospital during filming. Legga’s a ruthless actress who takes her character roles very seriously!

However, Legga was up for a huge commercial that would have been so huge, it could have led to other opportunities. She's been mopey lately over the missed opportunity, but she's happy that Mary's shower is coming up - she needs a morale boost. 

Costume: Semi-glamorous attire. Hair pulled up in a glamorous up-do.  

 

REAGAN PEACH
Soap Opera Star | Cousin of the Bride   

The former reality star known as Reagan Peach recently landed a starring role on a hit soap opera called Gorgeous Thieves. You’ll get stared at by Reagan’s attractive mug on most of the magazine covers in grocery checkout lines, but unfortunately, her inner circle says the fame has gone straight to her head.

Reagan moved to Hollywood for a 'failed' reality show - years ago - called The Good, the Bad, the Mystical - a show about five women who moved to Hollywood without any money or connections in search of big break in acting. Tarilyn Tonrow, Trianne Thingros, and Purple were also on the show - in addition to another girl who is still working as a barista in Santa Monica. However, Reagan is the only one who will admit that she did this show. The others all deny it and say it wasn't them. Luckily, the show was scrubbed from the internet and there's no evidence of it. They only filmed three episodes, and once the first one aired, it did so poorly, the cable network canceled it immediately. 

Costume: Glamorous attire and sunglasses.

 

HOPE MOUNTAIN
Country Music Artist |  Cousin of the Bride    

Hope Mountain is the #1 country and western music artist in the world. Originally hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, this charmer can sing like an angel! Everyone loves to be around her because she is still super friendly – even with all the fame and success. In the early days of her career, she was the reigning Mystical Falls Rodeo champion. She can rope a cow faster than most cowboys!  

Hope has recently been dealing with some hateful comments in various media made by musical artists from different genres. Not everyone gives country music the respect it deserves, but Hope doesn't have thin skin. She's ignoring the haters for now.

Costume: Western outfit – shirt, jeans, boots, and cowboy hat.  
 

IMA GUDFREND

Pastry Chef | Maid of Honor

Ima Gudfrend is the bride’s BFF, always ready with jokes and questionable life advice. “Silly” might as well be her legal middle name, and between her pastry chef chaos and boy-crazy antics, she’s the group’s certified wild child.

Ima is the host of Mary's bridal shower, and it will be held at her home, in Mystical Falls.  The rumor is that Ima argued with Mary over a few of the guests that were invited but at the end of the day - it's Mary's party and what Mary says, goes. Ima isn't happy about it, though.

Costume: Chef’s outfit and spatula as a prop.

 

MARY A. FELO

Talk Show Host | Bride-to-be

Mary Felo is the textbook hopeless romantic, finally tying the knot with her high school sweetheart, Harry Iznace—the town’s most infamous proctologist. Sweet as sugar and prone to bursting into song at random, Mary is basically living in a kid’s movie. If she could sing her vows instead of saying them, she absolutely would. Maybe she will, actually?

Mary and Harry have dated since the first day of high school. Everyone always knew they'd tie the knot and make it official. Their senior year, they were voted the couple most likely to get married and have a big family and two dogs! 

Mary is worried about impressing her new mother-in-law (to-be), Enerbe Iznace. It seems that nothing Mary does is ever good enough. Mary's told Ima that she wants nothing held back for this shower - everyone they ever knew is to be invited. 

Costume:  Casual attire with a bridal shower veil, tiara, or hat.

 

ROSE SPRAYAH

 Fragrance Model | Friend of the Bride

Rose Sprayah has one mission in life: shove perfume-sample cards into unsuspecting hands at the department store. She’s loud, brash, and convinced she’s done everything better than you ever could. Don’t try to one-up her—she’s already climbed higher in heels.

Many shoppers at the Galleria have filed complaints with management about Rose spraying them with random fragrances as they pass by. Rose has quietly admitted to friends that she does it on purpose, convinced that if women catch a whiff, they’ll get hooked and come back to buy a bottle from her. Since she started the strategy - the plan hasn’t worked—she’s racked up more angry customers than sales, which still stand at zero.

Costume: Elegant dress and hair with a perfume bottle as a prop.

 

DR. TESSIE TUBER

 Scientist | Aunt of the Bride

Dr. Tuber, the intellectual aunt of the bride, knows how to wield both a lecture and a guilt trip. Brilliant in the classroom but quick to point fingers, she thrives on finding fault. Around her, mistakes don’t just get noticed—they get announced.

Hopefully nothing goes wrong at the bridal shower, because Dr. Tuber will turn it into a full-scale investigation, complete with assigning blame. Warm potato salad? Meeting called immediately. After reviewing the evidence—clearly Ima’s fault. Mud tracked onto the carpet? No trial needed—Mary’s shoe already tells the story. That’s exactly how it will go unless someone reins Tessie in.

Costume: Lab jacket and test tube as a prop.

​

KARA TINN

  Hairstylist | Bridesmaid

If you can survive thirty minutes of her nonstop antics at the salon, Kara Tinn will give you the best haircut of your life. Known for spitting out spontaneous rhymes and spinning wild lies, she’s the salon’s drama queen and scissor-artist rolled into one. Kara’s motto? “Chaos first, conditioner second.”

However, maybe her high energy antics are finally catching up, as her salon chair gets dust on it every now and then. Maybe many of her former clients in Mystical Falls are making the drive to a neighboring city to avoid having to make an appointment with Kara?  

Costume: Outrageous and trendy outfit – very wild hairstyle. 

 

IONE FELO

Pageant Director | Mother of the Bride

Ione Felo, the bubbly mother of the bride and a veteran beauty pageant director, practically radiates cheer. Her nonstop doting on Mary can grate on everyone’s nerves, but her booming laugh is impossible not to catch. She’s the type to clap the loudest at the rehearsal dinner… even if no one else is clapping.

Ione has a tumultuous relationship with her four sisters, but Mary wanted everyone who lives locally invited to her shower. Ione tried to get Mary to make the shower only for the bride's family and friends, but Mary wouldn't hear of it, demanding that Ima invite her new mother-in-law-to-be, who Mary is so desperately trying to win over. 

Costume: Semi-formal dress with up-do hairstyle.

 

TRIANNE THINGROS

 Reality TV Star | Bridesmaid

Reality TV star Trianne Thingros is the perfect storm of apathy and ruthless competitiveness. Her bad behavior may be jaw-dropping, but it’s prime-time gold. If a challenge pops up, you can bet she’s already mic’d up and ready to make it a storyline. Anything for content, people!

Mary had to consider the pros and cons of inviting this wild TV star, but felt that anyone who had a large social media following should be invited - whether or not they might start crazy challenges with the guests amidst the bridal shower games. Mary believes viral social media posts will impress Harry's family. 

Costume: Very casual attire with a bag of plastic insects as a prop.

 

TARILYN TONROW

Film Star | Bridesmaid

Hollywood starlet Tarilyn Tonrow is a masterclass in narcissism and insensitivity. Her toxic charm has somehow kept her in the spotlight, though most of her “friends” seem suspiciously employed by her. Tarilyn’s red carpet motto? “Step on toes—preferably in stilettos.”

Tarilyn has made a few poor choices in accepting roles lately, with her last flick bombing at the Box Office and moving to streaming in only days after the release. Tarilyn swears it was a 'nothing burger,' and that her career is still on the right trajectory. But the celebrity gossip influencers all think differently. 

Costume: Glamorous attire and sunglasses.

 

PURPLE

Pop Star | Bridesmaid

Purple’s latest hit single, “I’ll Kill You If You Speak Again,” basically says it all. This pop diva is knee-deep in anger management classes, but her temper still pops off without warning. If you breathe too loudly near her, don’t be surprised if your sound bite makes her next remix. She turns anything into music.

It's rumored that Purple is making a new record which might be even worse - as far as content goes -than her last one. The townies of Mystical Falls wished she would turn her song topics to more positive content, as it is starting to reflect poorly on the town, being that Purple was born and raised here. 

Costume: Pop star outfit with a crazy wig or colored spray for the hair.

 

JUWANA B. ONTIVEE

 Film Producer | Friend of the Bride

“Do it once and check it five times” might be Juwana’s mantra, but on the dance floor, she’s pure chaos. This obsessive film producer can’t help but take over a party with her frantic moves and high-energy vibes. She’s the first one on the floor and the last one dragged off it.

Juwana has asked Mary to put a statement on the bridal shower invitations about not asking her during the shower about movie roles. Juwana has stated on her social media platforms that anyone asking her for a part in a movie will be ignored. Hopefully, everyone just talks to her about the weather so she can keep her sanity. 

Costume: Casual attire with a clapboard as a prop (this can be made of cardboard).

 

MRS. ENERBE IZNACE

Housewife | ​Mother of the Groom

Enerbe is every “mother-in-law” stereotype rolled into one—meddling, judgmental, and way too invested in her son’s marriage. Mary has no idea what she’s in for, but Enerbe is already taking notes on how she’ll “improve” her. She could author a book called How to Ruin a Marriage Before It Starts without doing research.

Enerbe expressed concern about Ima Gudfrend being the host of the shower, so she demanded that Ima not invite any of the Iznace family. She did not want to be shamed if the shower was not proper or hosted correctly. Enerbe will host a shower for Harry's side of the family with Harry as the focus, and Mary won't be invited. However, Enerbe has asked Ima to invite her good friend, Gerry Rivera, who is a well-known news reporter. Rumor has it that Ima is declining her request, but time will tell. Ima believes Gerry only wants to attend Mary's shower to get the scoop on the handful of celebrities that will be in attendance. 

Costume: Prim and proper dress/housewife costume with an apron and rubber dish-washing gloves as a prop. 

 

OLIVE FORMATHE

Mathematician | Cousin of the Bride

Olive Formathe is the frugal math whiz cousin with a talent for equations—and unsolicited commentary. Known for her quirky humor and snort-laughs, she’ll keep you both entertained and slightly embarrassed to be in public with her. If there’s a number to crunch, Olive’s already on it with a coupon in hand.

Olive hasn't embraced her nerdiness like her mother, Poindexi Beenie. Poindexi tells Olive continuously that being a nerd is a good thing, and that it means she's smart and talented. However, Olive is a self-shamed nerd and will get irritated if anyone acknowledges she is even a little bit nerdy. 

Costume: Nerdy attire.   Glasses taped in the middle.
