HADLEY
As a hero, Hadley picks up on things others miss. She joins the cause and cheers everyone when things go wrong. She is an exciting catalyst.
As a villain, Hadley is a dangerous gossip. She is a gadfly who leads you into temptation and leaves you there to suffer the consequences.
At her best, Hadley attempts things others fear and is calm in a crisis. She overturns what she disagrees with and can gather followers. She likes making other people happy. She prefers to give rather than receive. She lives in the moment, never considering yesterday or worrying about tomorrow. She is highly observant and a terrific negotiator. She can head off interpersonal conflict before it becomes a serious problem. She injects good will and makes everything sound exciting. She rallies people to a cause. She is good with spin and keeps up to date on fads and trends. She is an excellent storyteller. She is spontaneous, impulsive, and entertaining. Her social life is her life. She loves parties. Hadley is sensitive to the emotions of the people around her. She can be highly empathetic.
On the dark side, Hadley indulges in pranks that can go very wrong. She acts just to shut people up. She outwardly complies, but inwardly rebels. Hadley is always vaguely dissatisfied with everything. There is always something more exciting looming on the horizon. She could turn morbid and inject ill will and cross pollinate her negativity. She ignores problems and never admits she is at fault. She could turn against someone without them knowing it if they violated a core value. She rarely stops to calculate the cost of her actions. She isn't serious, focused, or scholarly. She is not competitive and has no sustained attention.
Hadley is impulsive when pushed. Stress makes her unreliable. She is self-protective.
She cuts herself off from people who disagree with her. Her opinions are fluid. She goes with the flow. She is uncomfortable with gifts and compliments. She loves talking about other people. Her wit is biting but she doesn't mean any harm. She isn't interested in nitpicky details. Facts rain on her parade. She only cares about the information she needs in the moment. She relies on facts not ideas. Her advice is based on shallow information. She comforts others whether they need it or not. She can get emotional cues wrong. She flits from topic to topic and group to group. She treats everyone as an equal. She is upbeat even when things go wrong. She lands on her feet without effort. She is optimistic and relates to everyone. Hadley tells you how she feels and delivers sentiments. Information is good or bad. She wants you to agree with her and understand how she feels. She wants you to acknowledge she is upset.
When stressed, the world is a dark and dangerous place with people out to get her. She dismisses information she does not want to hear. Controlling people make her more erratic. She shuts down and leaves in the face of criticism. She is capable of scathing retaliation. She represses then blows. Hadley encourages people to work together and looks for reinforcement.
She likes to talk things over with anyone and everyone instead of thinking them through. She is open to the opinions of strangers. She decides first and reevaluates only if she has to. She relies on experience. She goes with evidence not hunches, facts not impressions. She focuses on details and misses the big picture. She is swayed by emotional appeals. She chooses only when forced. She prefers other people to make decisions for her. She changes plans when a better plan comes along. She is truly happy with any choice. She modifies the rules to suit herself. She only follows the rules she agrees with. She usually works inside the lines, but isn’t afraid to go outside of them. If you talked about it, you promised it. She lashes out angrily in the moment with words she can't take back. She retreats when criticized or restricted.
Hadley comes up with original plans but she is easily distracted and lacks follow through. She prefers to do rather than listen. She is responsible on a day to day basis, but isn't a planner. She won't make the plan happen or deal with the outcome. She does things last minute and just good enough. Plans and deadlines are suggestions. Hadley rehashes the emotional impact instead of solving the problem. She blames the world at large when things go wrong. It is never her fault. She bluffs with bull. Her rationalizations are shallow.
Hadley's natural allies are Kelly, Dallas, Blair, and Nevada. Her nemesis is Cam. Hadley is generally well-liked and can laugh at herself and others. She is bubbly and popular. Almost any type could be drawn into her orbit. She is drawn to other extroverts who live in the moment. Her love for the friends she admires and trusts runs deep. She is very warm and caring. She offers comfort and concern when needed. She goes out of her way to be nice. When she loves, she loves mightily. She is quick with her brand of advice. She lives for a good time and ensures her friends have one too, perhaps too much of a good time, be it food, alcohol, or frolicking.
The more serious, single-friend introverts are hurt when she moves on. She isn’t interested in the intellectual types or devil’s advocate debaters. She draws the ire of people who find her too flighty. Others are insulted by her blunt honesty. She isn’t good with long-term commitment. If a character thinks they are best friends forever, they are hurt when Hadley dumps them. Everyone is a friend until they annoy her.
As a hero, Hadley is popular and followers eagerly join her cause. She is a convincing storyteller. She ignores limitations and restrictions. Nothing is off the table in her fight against injustice.
As a villain, a restricted and trapped Hadley becomes a dangerous time bomb. She will do anything to gain her freedom and doesn't care what she destroys in the process. She can be deadly in retaliation.
Next week we meet Shelby.
