Chatterbox: Inkwell
K.N.I.G.H.T.S. Solo Write
KNIGHTS stands for Knowledgeable Nines In Graceful, Hazardous Tutelage Studies (if you don't know what tutelage is look it up). Hardly anyone knows about the KNIGHTS and their very training center is hidden away in the mountains and disguised as a girl's finishing school. The girls themselves train in groups of nine, traveling from class to class to learn about combat, agility, strength, loyalty, and disguise. I, Madame Charlotte, am the principal of the KNIGHTS Academy as well as a graduated KNIGHT at the top of my classes. I am the one who scouts out the girls and send their parents a letter like this:
To the parents of Miss (girl's first and last name here),
It has come to my attention that your daughter is doing quite well in her current curriculum. I would be glad to invite her to Knight's Academy, a place to finish girls and make them proud of being a lady. If you choose to send your daughter to Knight's Academy please send an acceptance letter to enroll your daughter and pack our daughter away to the address on this envelope in the coming fall. I have enclosed a list of things to pack as well as a personal note for your daughter. We hope you accept and that your daughter will soon join us here.
Sincerely,
Madame Charlotte
Madame Charlotte, principal of Knight's Academy
I will not reveal to you the note I give to each young lady, but I will include a form:
NAME:
AGE (12-15):
APPEARANCE:
PERSONALITY (TRY NOT TO HAVE MARY SUE CHARACTERS):
WEAPON OF CHOICE:
STRENGTHS:
WEAKNESSES:
BACKSTORY (I REQUIRE AS ELABORATE AS POSSIBLE):
MC, SECONDARY, TERTIARY, OR BACKGROUND? (FIRST AND SECOND CHOICE):
Other Notes:
I will be accepting a minimum of 9 characters but if you come in after nine you might be in one of the older training groups. No reservations.
Regarding the character levels,
MC stands for Main Character. The sections will be in third person, but mainly focusing on you. I will accept two of these.
Secondary is the next level down. You are likely good friends with the MCs and stand by their side. You will show up many times. I will accept four of these.
Tertiary not quite the last level, as I said if you come in after nine you will be in an older group. But Tertiaries are often the ones who comfort the MCs, are shifty and mysterious, or a person who is nice but the MCs might be jealous of you. Each Tertiary will have a small yet important role. I will accept three of these.
Background characters are either the people in the older groups, or the instructors. Please ask if you want to be a Madame, and if you are you will either instruct in combat, agility, strength, or disguise.
Sorry for any boys out there! If you want you can make a boy's training center.
There is a minimum of one character per person.
Also, if you have read this entire thing, congradulations, and please incluse something about rain somewhere in your character sheet.
And with that I will sign off.
Madame Charlotte

Please write more? I really like this story and I would love to hear more of it.
(July 31, 2017 - 9:19 am)
I am very sorry. I was at a camp where there are no electronics allowed. Then I was writing, but it got deleted. I will try to post as soon as possible. Also,@unsuspecting, if you see this, please draw a pic of me coming out of my office. And actually, please don't draw me as an Asian as I am from London.
(July 31, 2017 - 1:56 pm)
Some Asians are from London. XD
(July 31, 2017 - 7:50 pm)
Clarification: My character is of European origin. About only 2% Asian. We tested. And no, this does not neccecarily mean the author is the same.

Allyssa Julette looked up at the tall imposing building that served as the training center for KNIGHTS since the 1700s. She felt thorughly excited from the tips of her dirty green converse to the top of her brown hair. The birds chirp and the trees rustled, not aware that this was an extreamly crucial moment for nine girls who were just arriving by private jet. Madame Waverly looked at the building with a touch of tenderness, perhaps remebering her first impressions. Then she looked at her watch and said, "Oh Lemon juice!" She then quickly herded Allyssa past the immense mahogany carved doors and a few hallyways until they opened an office door into a waiting room the walls of which were lined with comfortable yet expensive looking chairs. "Sit," she said. Allyssa obyed. Then Mdame Waverly explained that Madame Charlotte would be out in a minute, gave her a quick wink, and walked out. Another girl soon came in with a Madame, and then seven more.
After a few minutes of awkward silence, a girl with a blonde braid and blue eyes whispered, "Awkward silence..." Almost everyone laughed. A girl with a curly red hair and turquoise gray eyes sat emotionless in her chair, only bothering to raise an eyebrow. "I'm Cecilia Whittemore," said the first girl.
"Roberta Ellen Schafer," offered another, this one with dark hair and blue eyes.
"Adelise Rivoire," said a girl with two braids and sea blue/gray eyes.
"Ireland Grace."
"Lillium."
"Selene Akemi Hold."
"Alexandria Neige."
"Allyssa Julette," said Allyssa, smiling. There was one girl who hadn't yet said her name, a girl with curly black hair who wore purple glasses. The girl mumbled something incoherent.
"What was that?" Asked Ireland, brushing back her dagerous looking red hair with question in her eyes.
"Holly Chase," said the girl, fiddling with a pencil and not meeting anyone's eyes.
"Great," said Selene, twirling a lock of auburn, no brown, or possibly strawberry blonde hair around her slightly tan finger. "So now we-"
Just then a loud bang came from the other room, the one that was supposedly the office followed by a piercing shriek. Everyone jumped and looked at each other with wide eyes. Lillium pointed a dark skinned hand at the door. Everyone nodded. eight pairs of eyes watched intensly as Lilium turned the knob... Or were there possibly many more?

request accepted. Sorry about the Asian thing. It just kinda made me think about Madame Ko from Artemis Fowl. Ok, so figure one is a pretty young version of Madame Charlotte and has weapons hidden everywhere. Her bracelet is rope, her necklace pendant can becom a ninja star, her pearl hair clip is a knife, and her boots... Let's just say you do NOT want to be kicked by those feet. Other possible weponary but I haven't figured it out.
(August 1, 2017 - 1:46 pm)
Figure two is a completely different version. This Madame Charlotte is short, but it's best not to underestimate her. She is extremely agile and flexible and thinks fast on her feet. Figure Three is a person I couldn't help bring to mind, although possibly too young. The picture of an athlete, this Madame Charlotte doesn't seem as sophisticated as the one in the letters, but she is always ready for a fight. Oh, and of course, I drew some little fighting shadow people in action off to the side. :) happy writing!
(August 1, 2017 - 1:54 pm)
Thank you unsuspectingstrytllr, I like figure two.
(August 2, 2017 - 9:04 am)
Amazing writing! I love it!
(August 2, 2017 - 12:31 pm)
I love! And I can't wait to find out what happens next!
(August 3, 2017 - 7:11 pm)
Great writing! Keep going!
