Mother Goose's Academy for Untrained Tales

[Penny Royals]

(( This RP is slightly based off of Chichilli's Jabberwocky School, for those familiar with it, in the fact that it is a boarding school of horrors.))

Hello, my children, and welcome to my school! I'm certain you'll fit in very nicely, and find all your belongings situated perfectly up in your dorm rooms. Oh, don't fret, my darlings- it's just my way! I know you all very, very well.

Pay no mind to the name! I just, perhaps, thought it had a nice ring. I do believe you can call me Mother Goose, if you so desire. After all, my name IS Arabella Goose, and I aim to treat you all as I would my own.

I know it must all seem so strange! Just children, torn away from your families. But I assure you, your families are safe. You are safe. No harm shall come to a single hair on your tiny, gosling heads.

This school is here to help you.

Help you grow. Help you be smarter. Help you through the toughest times of your life.

Help you become what you want to become...

...And help you become what you must.

We need these spots fulfilled:

• 
  
• ENGLISH- Perhaps the teacher of this teaches rhyme? In general a fun class for writing, learning grammar, and that sort of thing!
  
• MATH- If Sally has four apples and she gives away two, how many apples does she have? The teacher of this teaches mathematics of all sorts!
  
• SOCIAL STUDIES/HISTORY- Current problems, past problems, who cares? It's all the same! This subject is where we learn from our mistakes and continue on.
  
• SCIENCE- Medicine, biology, chemistry-! Such a fun class!
  
• MECHANICS- A place to learn mechanics of all sorts! Blends with science at times.
  
• FOREIGN LANGUAGES- Parlez vous Francais? This class teaches you other languages from all around the world! Be warned- said languages may not be from the world as we know them...
  
• PE- Drop and gimme twenty! Maybe the favorite class of a drill sergeant, this is a class for gaining strength and doing other physical activities. Don't know how to swim? Maybe they'll teach you!
  
• MUSIC- Oh, the sweet sound of music! The class for the artistic! While the title is music, other art forms come into play frequently- drama, painting, writing...
  
• OUTDOORS SKILLS- Dealing with or taming animals, planting gardens, hunting, gathering, or other such things- what isn't covered via science or PE, this class covers it. Perhaps there's more than one teacher!

Now let's get moving!

Characters in already:
Mother Goose
Little Miss Muffet
Little Bo Peep
Mistress Mary, Quite Contrary

• No Mary Sues. The bio tries to steer clear of that, but even so.
  
• Please, use a nursery rhyme character. That's what this RP is for! If you have a character idea, but aren't sure if it'd be acceptable or not, just PM me. I don't bite.
  
• Don't take an already used character unless they're put in the orphanage. We have a few already set up for the setting.
  
• Make some teachers with your students! We have lots of different subjects for them to teach. Make 'em based on nursery rhymes as well, or even a conglomeration of some- make 'em as wacky as you want!
  
• Not a rule, but suggested that you play multiple characters. Some MAY (read may, not will!) have quite a bit of bad things happen to them in the RP, after all...

My Bios:

NAME: Arabella Goose
BASED OFF OF: Mother Goose
AGE: Rumored to be perhaps 1000 years old...
APPEARANCE: A very plump old woman, wrinkled and wizened, with curly white hair underneath a bonnet, and warm green eyes.
PERSONALITY: Very kind old lady, wise and sweet... but very spunky. She's still got some juice left in her. Can be sarcastic and perhaps offensive at times, but over all means well.
SUBJECT: The Headmistress
ASPIRATIONS: Right where she is now!
FEARS: Losing her students through any way, being betrayed or hurt.
BIO: To be Revealed later. However- she does usually say that she was just a simple farm lass, and founded this school at the gentle age of 'thirty or so, dearie- that was only ten years ago!'.



NAME: Bonnie Parish
BASED OFF OF: Little Bo Peep
AGE: 12
APPEARANCE: www.tektek.org/avatar/48723765
4'4, skinny.
PERSONALITY: A sweet, albeit messy, little girl. Very naive, innocent, quiet, and airheaded- a 'Cloud Cuckoo Lander'. She is very unorganized, and loses things very easily, even the big things... well. ESPECIALLY the big things.
ASPIRATIONS: She wants to take over her father's farm and be more than just a shepherdess.
FEARS: Being punished, someone getting angry at her, death, and, at times, responsibility.
BIO: Bonnie's parents own a small ranch. Her mother died giving birth to her, and so since she could walk, she's taken on her mother's previous duties- milking the cowns, feeding the chickens, etc. etc. Her biggest responsibility, however, was shepherdessing the sheep around. On this particular journey, she lost them, and went out to find them... and came upon this school halfway through the woods.



NAME: Agnes Moffat
BASED OFF OF: Little Miss Muffet
AGE: 16
APPEARANCE: www.tektek.org/avatar/48723853
Barely scraping 5'0, heavy-set.
PERSONALITY: A very level-headed, sensible girl, for the most part at the very least. Realistic, smart, handles duties and responsibilities well. She can sense things at times, but always trusts her head over her gut. However- she gets very jealous very easily, because, as such a sensible person, she's usually the one to do everything, get no credit, and such. She's a lover of drama, but is never within it.
ASPIRATIONS: She wants to become a baker.
FEARS: Spiders! Above all else, SPIDERS! Of course, roaches and centipedes and flies and hornets follow a close second. She also fears being disliked or hated.
BIO: Agnes grew up in an upperclass family, the middle child of seven. From a young age, she found herself fascinated with the kitchen- cooking, baking, and the like. While her parents didn't quite encourage this, the didn't DISCOURAGE her either, and thus, the talen blossomed, bloomed, and grew into what it is now- burgeoning on the point of a cooking revolution. She had been outside one day, 'taste-testing' some of her personal sweets, when a spider came close to her. She'd ran off screaming, into the woods- and found herself here at the school.




NAME: Mary Anne Brigsby
BASED OFF OF: Mistress Mary Quite Contrary
AGE: 30
APPEARANCE: www.tektek.org/avatar/48728903
Stands 5'7, slender.
PERSONALITY: Miss Mary, as she is called, looks very youthful- but make a stab at that and you'll have a hoe to your throat. Bloodthirsty, bipolar, and sarcastic, Miss Mary is easy to anger, and shows very little mercy. In fact the only time one will ever see her as, well, happy, is when she's doing her job- gardening, playing with the animals around her garden, that sort of thing. She seems very serene in this way, and doesn't like to be disturbed. In fact, while she's so relaxed, she looks quite beautiful, unlike her hardened appearance while working.
SUBJECT: Outdoor Skills
ASPIRATIONS: She wants to rule the world... and do nothing but tear down houses to build more wildlife and gardens.
FEARS: She actually has a fear of people, especially children. She's also afraid of needles.
BIO: Miss Mary grew up in a small cottage in the woods. Her parents died when she was just old enough to raise herself, really- around the age of twelve. She didn't mind too much, as she'd never truly had a relationship with them. She would go out only when necessary- to buy supplies to tend her garden. She lived as a recluse. One day, one of the small animals in her garden was grabbed and dragged away by a wolf, or perhaps a fox- she couldn't get a decent look as it was too fast, but she ran after it anyway... and found herself here.

Sounds like fun. I'll make a few characters when I have time. Just to be clear-is it just nursery rhymes, or is it fairy tales too?

[Penny Royals]

Just nursery rhymes. c:
