For this week’s OBS Character Profiles we bring you Bianca Olivier and Lucas Ross from the popular series Evernight by Claudia Gray. Here on OBS we know you love to be informed, so since the books of this series “Stargazer” and “Hourglass” are coming out this month we want to give the new fans a little hint to what expect and refresh the already fans. Enjoy!

Brought to you by OBS Staff member Chris.

Evernight

When the story begins in Evernight, Bianca has just left the small town where she’s spent her whole life. She’s a new student at Evernight Academy, a creepily Gothic boarding school where her classmates are somehow too perfect: smart, sleek and almost predatory. Bianca knows she doesn’t fit in.

Then she meets Lucas, another loner, who seems fiercely determined not to be the “Evernight type.” There’s a connection between Bianca and Lucas that can’t be denied. She would risk anything to be with him—but dark secrets are fated to tear them apart… and to make Bianca question everything she’s ever believed to be true.

Bianca Olivier & Lucas Ross

How did they get together?
They both are new students at Evernight Academy; a Gothic boarding school. Bianca feels extremely at out place at this dark scary school, and doesn’t trust anyone. She notices a few people that have the same feelings as her toward the school, one of them being the wickedly handsome bad boy; Lucas. Over time, they become friends, because of their common hatred of the school and people. Fueled by rebellion and hormones, they slowly fall in love. And have been fighting ever since to keep it.

What attracts them to each other?
Well in the beginning Bianca can’t deny the sexiness that Lucas oozes, and I’m not really sure if Lucas notices Bianca that way or not (since we don’t know his POV). But ultimately what drives them together is their individuality and how they can both relate to being outsiders, and not necessarily wanting the life they were brought into. Bianca and Lucas bond over many natural things, and more importantly many supernatural things. They both have a fierce loyalty to their own hearts, and doing what they believe is right…even if everyone they know thinks it’s utterly wrong.

Why do the make such a timeless couple?
If you have read the series, then you know the dark secrets both Bianca and Lucas have. These two people are never meant to be together, actually meant to hate each other, natural born enemies. Luckily their secrets were kept from each other longer enough for them to fall in hopelessly in love. A timeless couple will have many obstacles to clear, heartaches to endure, and if they can make it through hell and back, then their love should stand the test of time. Lucas and Bianca still have a very difficult road ahead, but they are facing it together.

Percy & Annabeth

How did they get together? They met at Half-Blood Hill and faced their first quest together.

What attracts them to each other? The camaraderie they share while getting through dangerous quests gives them a great foundation as a couple.

Why do they make such a timeless couple? Being demigods and battling for what they believe in, makes them a timeless couple.

What are some of the problems they faced because them being a couple? The fact that they are supposed to be enemies just because their parents are.

Bella & Edward

How did they get together? Bella moved to Forks, WA, in the second semester of her junior year in high school. Edward was also a junior. They met in Biology class where Bella’s scent was so addicting to Edward he almost killed her right there.

What attracts them to each other? The fact that Edward cannot read Bella’s mind made him want to get to know her. Also the fact that her blood is like heroine to him is highly attractive. Bella is attracted to Edward almost immediately, she senses that he is different and accepts him without a fault.

Why do they make such a timeless couple? The fact that they ’shouldn’t’ be together makes them timeless. They are hunter and prey always disrupting the balance of nature but somehow love pulls them through.

What are some of the problems they faced because of being a couple? The constant reminder of Bella’s mortality is a problem because Edward has to be careful not to physically harm her. Also, bringing a mortal into his world makes other vampires want her to hurt him and the Cullens.

What do you think of today’s characters?

Today OBS brings you the fifth part of our special LOST “Character Profile” edition; where you’ll get to meet two of series most polar opposite characters, Hugo Reyes and Horace Goodspeed.

Brought to you by OBS Staff member Rose.

Hugo (Hurley) Reyes

Date of Birth: February 23, 1977

Birth Place: Miami, Florida

Date of Death: Unknown

Family: David Reyes (Father) and Carmen (Mother)

Profession: Worked at a Fast-Food restaurant before winning the lottery and quitting.

Quotes:

“Woah.. that was like a.. ‘jedi moment”

“Yeah, until he rises from the dead… and he’ll catch me first… because, I’m heavy… and I get cramps.” Said while Ethan was being buried.

Summary: Hugo’s father David, left the family, and Hugo’s sadness and self-doubt (believing that his father’s leaving was his fault) caused him to gain weight. Later in life, Hurley was involved in an accident in which a deck collapsed as he stepped onto it, killing two people. He immediately spiraled into a worse depression, which caused  Hugo’s mother, to put him in a mental institution. Locke’s mother was also treated at this same mental facility and it is also where Libby was then a patient. It was at this facility where Hugo met patient named Leonard Simms, who kept mumbling the numbers  4 8 15 16 23 42.

After Hugo was released from the facility, he resumed his job at a fast-food restaurant, and moved back in with his mother. He decided to use the numbers that Leonard kept saying to play the lottery. Hurley learned while watching televsion one night that he had won $114m in the lottery, and of course he quit his job.

Following his lottery win Hugo experienced a string of many bad events. He assumed it was due to the numbers he used to win the lottery. To figure out what to do, he visited Leonard Simms in the mental facility to question him about the numbers and Leonard suggested speaking to a man named Sam Toomey who was located in Australia. Once in Australia, he speaks to Toomey’s wife and learns that Toomey committed suicide to escape all his bad luck because of the numbers. Hence the reason why Hurley was on flight Oceanic 815, returning from Australia.
