Fun Fact: She has synaesthesia
Backstory: Zenia was born in (Place) to Theodore and Nyoka Brice. She was their second born (She has an older brother named Jayce who plays basketball in the NBA) and only daughter. From young she was always highly intuitive to other people’s emotions - hugging anyone who appeared to be upset, giving them a toy to make them happy; and was also highly sensitive, crying for nearly any and everything. She felt everything to a heavier degree than others. An empath. In being so in touch with her emotions, she grew up being a comfort to others, somehow always knowing exactly how to help. However, it was easy to attract broken individuals and get herself hurt, which resulted in her keeping to herself more and more. She found ways to express her emotions and experiences - through music. With a few connections from daddy (of course), her musical talents, and her innate gift of expressing and channeling emotions, she was able to produce music independently as an indie artist (Similar to Jhené Aiko’s healing-like music). This allows her time to do what she loves (making music) while attending school to become a music therapist. She’s currently working on her master’s and fulfils her hours at her mother’s therapy clinic. She has also recently discovered her empathic nature is a gift stemming from her mother’s side, allowing her to be a healer. With Dodona’s help and guidance, she has become quite an asset for Rory’s pack. As for Roman, she felt something the moment she saw him although she wasn’t quite sure what it was. She just knew that she was drawn to him. However, due to her past experiences, she kept her distance for a bit. With Imogen vouching for him, and his genuine efforts being seen, Zenia allowed herself to open up more and soon fell for him almost as quickly as he did for her. She finds his energy to be a calm, grounding force for her ever fluctuating emotions. She feels safe and protected, knowing that he would never hurt her.
Note: One thing I really admired about your series is how close-knit the Brice family is! In my head I definitely wanted my oc to be a part of that and even added in a father who would have been the youngest sibling of the Brice sisters (idk, I just found that funny. They definitely would've had his childhood turnt upside down) In the series though, I highly doubt this would work (and I don't want to overstep) so I was thinking she would either be a distant cousin (maybe like a second cousin to Imogen if Grandad Brice had other siblings) or a fellow labelmate for Imogen seeing that she would also be in the industry! I think the empath thing would be a really cool addition, especially if it isn't something Imogen’s skills as an oracle falls under. I’m not entirely sure how it can fit into the series and the group themselves, but I think it could be interesting to consider if that’s okay! It’s a spiritual gift that would stem from her mother’s side of the family from Guadeloupe (I’m not from Guadeloupe but I am Caribbean so I think of it as a little shoutout to my people LOL).

Fun Fact: He also speaks both Japanese and Italian
Backstory: Roman was born in Kyoto, Japan to Kenzo Minamoto and Ginevra Romano. His birth disappointed the Minamoto Clan as he was to be the heir to the family’s leadership of Lycans in Japan (Mt. Komorebi), but wasn’t a pure blood descendant due to his mother’s Italian roots and human nature. They viewed him as ‘tainted’ and unfit to lead. Despite this, he was accommodated in the clan for a few years and trained up to lead, but was often placed under unrealistic standards and expectations, and also discriminated against. This soon ended once his younger (half) sister, Kira, was born. The role of heir was immediately passed to her due to her being pure blooded, and thus Roman was sent to Italy to live with his mother. There he grew up with a relatively normal life until his first shift. After this, with the many challenges of trying to control his lycan side as well as no proper guidance, he was sent back to live in Japan to learn. Despite being taught many things, he still felt like an outsider to his family and was often compared to his younger sister. Due to this, their relationship was strained for a few years. Roman learned how to remain stoic and not allow his emotions to show through. He was often pressed to perform better, to do more, in order to make up for his mixed nature until he had enough. He left Kyoto (Mt. Komorebi) and never looked back, soon finding himself in Cooperdale with Rory and her pack. Despite having the makings to take on an alpha role, he settles for Beta as his way of avoiding the heavy expectations that come with the role. He often uses art (drawings and paintings) to express his emotions and soon found his calling as a tattoo artist. As for Zenia, it was love at first sight, or - well, imprinting at first sight. He was immediately drawn to her, particularly the calming energy she exuded. She was his soulmate. He started off slow, not wanting to scare her, but found that he simply couldn't keep away. He never wanted to leave her side. Once his love was reciprocated that’s exactly what he did, stood by her side, never leaving.
Note: So this is Zenia’s love interest! In my head he had already met with Rory and the pack back in Copperdale, but this will definitely be changed haha. I do think it would be cool to have him involved with the pack in some way, whether a part of them or just simply working alongside them, especially if they do end up moving to Okinawa! As for his relationship with Zenia it’s definitely an ‘opposites attract’ sort of dynamic but in a way where they bring out the best in each other. He mellows her emotions while she helps him process through his. In my head it definitely took them some time to actually be romantically involved, with Imogen and Lou playing a huge part in encouraging it haha.
I really hope you find my ocs interesting and like them! A lot of things can definitely be adjusted to fit the current and future storyline of your series, as again, I for sure don't want to overstep in your work! 🫶🏽
