Reading was not a typical pastime for Manny.
Frankly, it was difficult for a boy as energetic as him to sit still for so long. He was a kinetic person, and therefore he consistently found himself needing to move somehow to have his attention captured or – at the very least – he needed to be doing something less internal. Which was probably why this book had sat on his shelf for the past week. There were just so many more interesting things which he could have done – and so he did them.
All of this was probably why Manny’s eyes were wandering about instead of being buried within his book. After all, what could be more interesting than the world around him? The book would be there in an hour – the present would not.
As Manny sat there with his book in his lap, he noticed a silver-haired boy, about his age, lurking about not too far from him. As the young man stepped across the grass, Manny set his book aside and tilted his head slightly, watching the other boy intently. He seemed uneasy. Or maybe tense. Regardless, it was clear that he was not in a very relaxed state. However, there appeared to be a human being behind that tense wall of stone – as he offered a smile upon making eye contact with Manny, before adding a half wave.
In response to this, Manny’s face lit up with a kindhearted smile as he waved back. “Lovely day, isn’t it?” The boy chirped politely, offering a gentle conversation with the stranger. Manny loved making new friends, and this boy certainly seemed as new as they come. Or, at least, new to Manny. Though, the dancer felt as if he would have remembered someone like this boy – what with that rugged exterior and all.

Lea & Manny
Alrighty, so, I could totally see a friendship between these two! Manny's super bubbly, friendly, and willing to be friends with just about anyone. However, I could see some of Lea's sarcasm going over Manny's head which could prove for some comical moments here and there. I can't see any Heartless or other baddies coming to Disney Town, but if something were to come up then Lea could definitely protect him if the two of them were in the right place at the right time. Manny is kind of restricted to Disney Town at the moment, so would you like to thread them there? Maybe Lea's there to try their ice cream? Just to see if it's as good as sea salt ice cream?
Lea & Cruella
Okay! So these two are a little more tricky when it comes to figuring out how they'd get along. Obviously they would not get along with one another, but overall I feel like Cruella wouldn't waste time battling him. If anything she'd see him as a nuisance and just be dismissive of him. At most she would probably enlist someone to fight him, whether it be a Heartless or some lackey from whatever world they're on. Overall though, I don't think Cruella would try to expend energy on battling him. At least not right away.

Humming sweet harmonies to the light chirping of the birds outside of his window, Manny let out a soft sigh in admiring the little details of how the day began. He was always quite observant of the day in its middle, or even toward its end, but never had he woken up with the thought of observing how it began.
Everything was so crisp and fresh.
Perhaps it could have just been because he had just woken up that all of his senses were alert. But every morning was like this – perhaps he had just never bothered to think much of waking up before. It always just… happened.
After preparing himself in more decent clothing to be spotted in – he wasn’t very fond of people seeing him in his jammies (as cute as they may be) – he laced up some shoes and was off down the corridor leading out from his room. Gracefully stepping through the living room, he saw a small calico kitten snuggling atop a plush red pillow on his couch. “I’ll be home in a bit, Annie – be good.” He said with a smile and a light laugh. Him and his new kitten, Annie, had only been together for a few months, but anyone could tell you it was a match made in heaven.
As he made his way out the door, he grabbed a small wicker basket from the table beside his door and headed out – with an especially large amount of pep in his step. As he walked, he began to hum a melody that he had overheard the other day while wandering about through town. If it wasn’t already apparent, Manny enjoyed music and constantly found ways to incorporate song into his daily life. It was just so uplifting for him. Within his basket, a small light blue book seemed to shift side to side with each step. The young man had picked out a new book from the town library last week and today was the final day on his borrowing. Unfortunately, he had not read any of it.
So, Manny figured he would try to give it a shot and dedicate his day off to reading the book. And what better place than in the gardens just on the outskirts of town?
The picnic basket swung in Manny’s arms as he rocked his arms back and forth with each step. The aroma of the sweetly scented garden flowers danced through his mind as he in took a deep breath and let the smell tickle his senses. Manny twirled a bit on the paved streets looking up into the sky, times as beautiful as these made him think back to his grandma. He sure missed her. She really taught him to appreciate the little things in life. He let out an audible sigh as he sat down on the bench resting nearby the gardens, pulling out the book once he was settled.
Chapter one.

[nospaces] [attr=class,"plotcontainer"] [attr=class,"plothover"] [attr=class,"plottext"]
FRIENDS: Manny loves making friends! He’s an extrovert and full of spunk, so I can see him making friends super easily and super-fast. He loves getting to know other people and loves to help them out whenever they need it, so a friendship with Manny is one which will end up being beneficial to those involved. Being who he is, Manny is chock-full of love and especially eager to distribute it to all who are willing to accept it. Because of this, Manny places a very strong sentimental value on his friendships and will most certainly do anything in his power to help a friend in need. [break][break] Friendships with Manny can range anywhere from complete besties to good acquaintances. But, regardless a friendship with Manny can be sure to entail quite a few things. Being dragged to his various dance classes/performances, plenty of nights out on the town, late night phone calls, slumber parties, and countless hugs are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being friends with him. But, in return, one will receive a great friend and listener who will do everything in his power to make sure that they are a happy camper.
[Break][break]
ENEMIES: While not entirely implausible, making enemies with Manny can be a bit of a difficult feat. Manny is rather conflict-averse by nature and therefore not much of a fighter. But while his heart may be full of love, that doesn’t mean someone can’t dislike him. Manny is pretty darn happy, after all. Surely someone could find his constantly perky demeanor annoying or even perceive it as fake and unjustified. There are countless ways that someone as gregarious as Manny could rub a person the wrong way. However, if someone really wanted to get under Manny’s skin and hurt him there are several ways to go about doing this. Hurting someone whom he deeply cares about or trying to physically harm anything without the means of protecting itself are sure to warrant a reaction from Manny. He’s also highly susceptible to following the crowd, to keep everyone content, and could be easily manipulated in the right hands. It just takes the right person to know how to coax him into doing what they want! Just be wary, Manny is fiercely loyal to those whom he cares about and will put himself on the line to stand up for or protect them. [Break][break]
LOVERS: Manny is in love with love! With a tendency to fawn over anything remotely cute and a large affinity for romantic stories, Manny is about as stereotypical as it gets when it comes to hopeless romantics. He adores cute and playful flirting, as well as fun romantic dates, and will fully commit himself to his relationships. Placing blind trust in his significant other, Manny wears his heart on his sleeve and is fast to fall in love. Unfortunately, this tends to lead to heartbreak seeing as to how Manny puts too much of himself into his relationships too soon and is usually upset by the end of even the most frivolous relationships. But he always manages to bounce back with a healed heart!

[attr=class,"plotcontainer"] [attr=class,"plothover"] [attr=class,"plottext"]
FRIENDS: A social climber at heart, Cruella will do everything in her ability to obtain a position of power over others. As such, Cruella has developed the skills necessary to manipulate and claw her way to any form of influence which she can get her hands on. And without a doubt, Cruella’s actions will be driven by this innate need of hers to be on top. Cruella will most likely possess very few genuine friendships – if any. While she does enjoy the company of others and is unafraid to cozy up to someone just for the sake of her own gain, these relationships are merely superficial, and she’d quickly sever them if it meant saving her own skin. And, unfortunately, while Cruella may genuinely enjoy the company of a select few, odds are that these relationships will still lack in amounting to anything of substance. Cruella is a self-centered and self-preserving woman who will only act in her own interest and therefore is unable to put anyone above herself. Of course, fake friendships are an entirely different story. Cruella is always looking out for herself and will most certainly befriend someone if it means her own advancement. After all, where’s the harm in caring about one’s own status?
[Break][break]
ENEMIES: Cruella will have more than a handful of these. While Cruella would never be mean-spirited to anyone for the sake of being mean (she’s immoral and dark-hearted, but only to those who stand in her way of what she wants – she doesn’t thrive off being malicious for the sake of being malicious, like other villains), she has very little regard for anyone else and cares primarily about her own personal interest. Preferring to remain apathetic and uninvolved in the lives of those who do not advantage her, Cruella often dismisses those beneath her, as she could honestly care less about them. This could quite easily enrage just about anyone with a backbone and could prompt conflict, especially if a character is known for being prideful or hot-headed.
[Break][break]
LOVERS: Cruella has never really been big on the whole concept of “love”. She can find very little purpose in permanently dragging another into one’s personal affairs and therefore refuses to commit to any sort of romantic relationship. To Cruella, a significant other is simply a liability, someone to account for and to steal her spotlight and, frankly, Cruella doesn’t need any more liabilities than she already has. Lust, however, is something which Cruella has very little trouble acting upon. A firm believer in embracing one's own sexual desires, Cruella embraces her sexuality and exercises it frequently. This category will be limited mostly to hookups, but if you’d like to play around with unrequited feelings, I’m open to it.

MANNY MORRISON N/A | Civilian | Nineteen | 5’8” | 152 | Human | Male | Homosexual | Disney Town |
appearance Manny is quite the attractive young man with a youthful appearance about himself. As far as skin is concerned, Manny has an all-around fair complexion, with rather pampered skin due to him taking rather decent care of himself and properly maintaining his complexion. Manny possesses slightly chiseled facial features, with an all-around strong jawline- giving him a defined face, which, as mentioned prior, is often cared for by his meticulous hygiene. Manny’s eyes are a warm hazel color and pair quite nicely with his signature black locks. Along with this, he possesses a very well-toned, svelte, and lightly muscled dancer physique. The most prominent aspect of his "toned" physique would most likely be his pectorals and leg/glute muscles, which all appear to have been given special attention in his figure- making him appear to be reminiscent of a baseball player (most notably due to his strong legs and perky behind). However, these are features that can most easily be attributed to all his ballet dancing. He’s shorter than average, standing at the height of 5’8”, though not too short to where he is constantly looking up at others. Lastly, Manny possesses dark black hair which almost always contains copious amounts of gel and is the result of a rather long process in front of the mirror every morning (which can last up to an hour on particularly rough hair days), overall, the style is somewhat reminiscent to that of a pompadour.
personality Manny is a highly extroverted individual, who has no problem being the center of attention. A people person, Manny excels in social situations and always seems to easily captivate others with his charm. His infectious charisma can light up any party and breathe life into even the dullest of events. Talkative, bubbly, and an excellent listener Manny is in his element when surrounded by others, something which easily helps him make friends with a large variety of different individuals. Like a magnet, Manny manages to attract multiple friends (whether old or new) regardless of the environment. With these sorts of skills, one can hardly bring into question why he’s as popular of an individual as he is.
Being a genuine follower at heart, often Manny takes the back seat and will follow along with what the more natural leaders suggest. As a people pleaser, Manny’s happiness typically derives from ensuring the happiness of others. So, he’ll often opt for following the masses, to make sure that everyone comes out happy. While this agreeableness does, in fact, lessen the complications of figuring out what to do, it means that Manny is quite a bit more susceptible to following bad ideas just because he likes the person suggesting them. Fortunately, Manny's source of boundless optimism and cheeriness seems to counterbalance the fact that he lacks in leadership skills. His constant hopefulness and willingness to put his best foot forward is a valuable enough quality all within itself.
As energetic and fun loving as Manny is, he’s constantly seeking a sense of excitement in his day to day life to prevent becoming bored. This need for excitement can cause Manny to grow weary of routines and he constantly seeks out new ways to fill this need. A major struggle for Manny can be his ability to stay focused. A long-term dedication to a project that Manny is not passionate about can be quite a hassle and often becomes more and more stressful for him. This, coupled with his poor planning skills often do more harm than good. Manny’s been known to utilize the “just wing it” approach to a lot of things he needs to handle. Big projects, vacations, packing, and other situations which should require an ample amount of planning are often improvised and handled by bursts of random energy that Manny gets to work on them. While it isn’t the smartest to not plan things out step by step, Manny has become quite good at improvising and getting tasks done in the spur of the moment.
While Manny doesn’t have a big affinity for drama or conflict, he typically finds himself placed in the middle of his friends’ issues. This is partly because of his approachable personality and the fact that he struggles at shutting down these types of conversations. Sadly, Manny isn’t the best at handling these issues and often lets them play out around him with him acting as a “Switzerland” of sorts in the conflict. Lastly, being as emotion-driven as Manny is, he is very susceptible to criticisms. While he doesn’t take them too much to heart, it can sometimes bum him out when they’re very negative. But, he’s usually able to keep a chipper attitude about himself and remain his usual peppy self.
history Born and raised in his home world of Disney Town; Emanuel “Manny” Morrison has lived a rather simplistic and uninspiring life. Manny was born as the result of Josephine and Alan Morrison's marriage, yet unfortunately, shortly after news came of their new arrival Alan fell ill and passed away before Manny was born - leaving Josephine alone to raise her unborn child. However, she, fortunately, would not have to. This is because after hearing the news of her daughter’s pregnancy, Josephine’s widowed mother, Mildred, moved back in with her daughter and swore to spend the remainder of her life helping to support and care for Josephine and her child. And from then on, the two would set out to raise the infant Manny and work their hardest to provide him with the best chance of succeeding in life. And, for the first nine years of the boy’s life, the duo managed to give him the very best childhood which they could muster.
However, this process did involve Josephine consistently working a multitude of added jobs during weeknights and weekends to keep the family afloat. During this time, however, Mildred would typically stay at home and tend to the young Manny, as well as handle all the necessary housework. Not to mention, this also allowed Mildred (who was a former nursery school teacher before she had retired) to help ensure that Manny got all the necessary developmental guidings which a guardian could provide. This system, while of course quite draining, could earn the family unit enough money to make ends meet and granted them just enough spending money to ensure Manny received a gift on both Christmas and his birthday. The system also guaranteed that Manny never felt neglected nor lonely, since he was always in the company of a beloved adult. In short, while he did not have much, Manny’s adolescence was filled with love and he was a typically content child.
At the age of the four, Manny discovered his true love and lifelong passion- dance. His grandmother (who had been a firm lover of the arts) took Manny to see a local performance of “The Nutcracker” and it was love at first sight. The juvenile Manny had been simply entranced by the way the performers were able to manipulate their bodies to perform such awe-inspiring dance routines and he just had to see more. Over the next few weeks, Manny would beg and beg his grandmother to take him to another performance, but much to his delight, she had instead chosen to enroll him in a ballet class. While the class was not especially cheap, Manny’s grandmother found her grandson’s passion to be an investment of its own. And, in time, his dance skills grew, and the studio began to offer scholarships for him to attend their classes. As the years passed by, Manny grew to become one of the top youth ballet dancers in Disney Town and went on to get trained in various other styles of dance (such as tap, jazz, contemporary, etc.).
Of course, nothing good can last forever; and on Manny’s fourteenth birthday his grandmother passed away.
It was a hard hit on the Morrison family and the two of them each took it a bit differently. Manny, who was known for his unrelenting optimism, tried his hardest to find any sort of silver lining in the extremely bleak situation. He loved his grandmother, more than anything, but he knew that he had to accept that it was her time and that she was most likely in a better place now. Naturally, he was still distraught by her passing, but in his heart, he knew that the passing was meant to be and was bound to happen at some point anyway. Josephine, on the other hand, was a little less hopeful; With her mother gone, Josephine found herself fearful of what was to come. Her responsibilities had seemingly doubled overnight, and Manny’s impending future was slowly creeping up on her. Using the little inheritance money, she had received, Josephine set aside a small savings fund for her son. This was with the hope that over time it would accumulate and eventually become sustainable enough to help Manny out as he transitioned into adulthood. After all, now that she was acting as Manny’s sole guardian, Josephine knew that she had to begin to plan and persevere- especially since he would surely move out within a few years. Unfortunately, however, she now also carried around a heavy load and would often overwork herself to keep the two of them from going into complete poverty. It was a rough job, but someone had to do it.
However, if there was one good thing which emerged from Mildred’s death, it was the newfound sense of passion which was distilled within Manny. Manny, who loved his grandmother dearly, found himself inspired after his grandmother’s death and decided that he should listen to his heart and follow his dreams- just as his grandmother would want him to do. So, with that, Manny decided to make his life aspiration dance and pursue it as a career.
Fortunately for him, things really started to turn around for him in the years following his grandmother’s death and he’s grown up into quite the jubilant young man. During those years he even got a job working as the resident Ballet and Tap teacher at the Disney Dance Studio. Most recently, however, Manny has started to run the studio and has taken over full operations because the former owner offered for him to take over after her retirement. Overall, Manny couldn’t be happier with his life- living blissfully unaware of how small he really is in the grand scheme of things. He’s more than content living out his merry little life in Disney Town and going along for the ride.
