Charles

Charles had seen better days. After his behavior at last night's BYOB holiday party, he was pretty certain he would not be welcomed back to teach the second grade next semester. A few beers too many, and Charles began confessing his secret crush on Ethel the art teacher to anyone who would listen. Ethel wasn't too amused. Apparently, he was supposed to have brought his own book for the office-wide gift exchange. Reading had never been Charles' best subject. 

Linda

Brought up in a wealthy home, Linda had grown accustomed to a life of privilege. It was no secret, then, that she married Ralph only for his money, as he had no good looks to speak of. Linda saw it as the perfect arrangement: he got a hot wife, and she didn't have to work. This didn't last long, much to Linda's dismay. After some self-improvement, Ralph felt confident enough to dump Linda. Ralph lost some weight and got a nose job; Linda would have to get a job, job.

Leanne

They'd only been out on a few dates, so when Shawn called to tell Leanne that he would be coming by in a few hours to give her a Christmas present, she was too surprised to make up a proper lie about why he couldn't come over. She only had time to run to Target before he got to her apartment, but she didn't even know what to get him. Why was he giving her a present anyway? Leanne caught sight of a really cute cardigan and decided to just stay in Target and do some shopping for herself instead. Shawn was nice and all, but a new cardigan would be nicer.
