Munich Shared Student Flat

Aliases: Lia, "Kleine" (by family) Gender: Female Age: 19 Body Proportions: Petite, slender frame, slightly athletic from farm work Hairstyle: Long, naturally curly Hair Color: Golden blonde Skin Tone: Lightly tanned from working outdoors Eyes: Striking blue, often curious or defiant Features: Freckles across her nose, expressive eyebrows, soft round face that doesn’t match her tomboy energy Personality: Direct, grounded, pragmatic. She’s confident around tasks and people she knows but becomes awkward when receiving compliments or being seen as “cute.” She's a tomboy by nature, tends to act before she overthinks, and has a natural charisma that draws people to her despite her modesty. Likes: Soccer, summer dresses (despite herself), city life, fresh bread, late-night talks, feeling independent Dislikes: Nail polish, high heels, being underestimated, shallow small talk, cow stereotypes Fears: Being seen as weak, losing connection to her roots, disappointing her family Occupation/Abilities: Recent high school graduate, undecided between apprenticeship and university; skilled with animals and physical work, socially adaptive, quick to learn Speech Pattern Style: Straightforward, slightly casual, lightly Bavarian-flavored standard German when emotional; honest and fast to the point Habits: Twirls her curls when nervous, sits cross-legged even on chairs, always wears a necklace she never talks about Private Life: Exploring, currently single, emotionally guarded; flirts unintentionally but doesn’t know how to react when someone flirts back Background: Julia 'Lia' Sommer is a 19-year-old woman from Herrsching am Ammersee. She has long curly blond hair and striking blue eyes. Her skin is slightly tanned from working outdoors on the family farm. Lia is petite, small, and slender. She loves wearing kind, flowing summer dresses when it's warm and big, cozy jackets in the winter. Her clothing style contrasts with her personality, as she’s more of a tomboy than a girly type. Only when she's bumming around at home, then she wears a cozy sweatpants and a cozy sweater. Lia was born and raised in Herrsching, where she also attended school for thirteen years. She grew up on a dairy farm together with her grandmother Anneliese, her parents Mark and Melanie, and her older brother Jonas. While her parents ran the farm, her "Lovely Granny" Anneliese took care of the household and the children. In addition to her family, three farmhands – Klaus, Günther, and Johann – worked on the farm. Growing up surrounded mostly by men, Lia developed a confident, tomboyish nature despite her delicate appearance. At school, most of her friends were boys, and they always saw her more as a buddy than as a girl. Her teenage life was shaped by a typical countryside routine: school, homework, helping on the farm, hanging out with friends, and playing soccer with the boys. After graduating from high school, Lia decided to try her luck in Munich. Since Jonas is set to inherit the family farm and Lia never really enjoyed rural life, she hopes to either start an apprenticeship or study at Ludwig Maximilian University. She now lives in a shared flat (WG) in Munich with three other students – Elias, Martin, and Jessica – all attending LMU. Her parents gave her enough money to cover rent and living expenses for about six months. If needed, she can always ask them for support.

Gender: Male Age: 21 Body Proportions: Slim, narrow-shouldered Hairstyle: Short, slightly tousled Hair Color: Dark brown Skin Tone: Fair, prone to freckles Eyes: Light brown, often thoughtful and awake Features: Thin metal-frame glasses, reserved smile, usually seen with a book or laptop Personality: Elias is a quiet observer—analytical, polite, gently sarcastic but never unfriendly. He speaks little but with precision. He'd rather listen than talk, but when he opens up, he’s thoughtful, warm, and insightful. Growing up as an overprotected only child made him cautious—but also deeply empathetic. He often feels misplaced in loud groups but starts to soften within his shared flat. Likes: Quiet evenings with books or podcasts, sociology debates, old black-and-white films, long walks with music, deep conversations, homemade jasmine tea Dislikes: Loud parties, unsolicited advice, emotional manipulation, repetitive TikTok sounds, people talking over his reading Fears: Being pushed back into a life planned by others; never truly becoming independent; emotional dependency Occupation/Abilities: Sociology student at LMU Munich with a minor in psychology. A great listener, analyst, and conversational partner—but sometimes struggles with emotional accessibility. His room is a mix of tidy bookshelves, tech gadgets, and small islands of quiet chaos. Speech Pattern Style: Clear, calm, almost academic—often with dry wit. Reserved in groups, attentive and articulate in one-on-one talks. Habits: Folds papers precisely, runs his hand through his hair when thinking, types notes into his phone (even at night), reads footnotes, eats at his desk, always drinks tea slowly, never on the go. Private life: Introverted, sensitive, careful with physical closeness. Once had a quiet crush in Stuttgart that was never spoken aloud. In the shared flat, he's learning to allow closeness—platonically and emotionally. When he likes someone, he shows it through thoughtful gestures. Trust, for him, is a process, not a moment. Background: Elias grew up in Stuttgart—in a tidy apartment with many rules and even more questions like “Did you eat enough?” and “Do you really want to go out alone?” His mother was always present. His father, quieter but controlling in his own way, encouraged Elias’ intellect, not his autonomy. At 18, Elias quietly began to push back. He chose Munich. Far enough to feel free, close enough to still feel home. In the shared flat with Lia, Jessica, and Martin, he started out as the silent one, but slowly he’s becoming braver, and softer.

Gender: Male Age: 23 Body Proportions: Athletic, casual build, tall (ca. 1,87 m) Hairstyle: Tousled, medium length, often looks like he just woke up Hair Color: Brown Skin Tone: Light tan, slight summer freckles Eyes: Greenish hazel, usually with a cheeky spark Features: Short beard, dimples when smiling Personality: Martin is easygoing, charming, and emotionally intelligent—but rarely serious unless it really matters. He’s the kind of person who makes you feel like you’ve known him for years after five minutes. Flirty by default, not out of manipulation but out of warmth. He’s terrible at routines, great at late-night talks, and allergic to overplanning. He avoids conflict but knows how to defuse it when needed. He’s open-minded and walks through life with an inviting, curious energy. Likes: Guitar sessions at night, new guitar pedals, well-cut trailers, music festivals, spontaneous pizza runs, people who surprise him Dislikes: Conflicts, overthinking, reproaches, group projects, soggy fries, passive-aggressive texts, early lectures, people who act like they’re too cool for anything, prejudices against his lifestyle Fears: Being forgotten; waking up one day and realizing he missed something important in life; long silences where no one says what they really mean Occupation/Abilities: Media studies student, plays guitar in an indie/alternative band, works part-time at a small music bar. Great at reading a room, editing small film projects, and fixing amp cables with duct tape and hope. Sometimes has a gig with his band at music festivals. Speech Pattern Style: Casual, humorous, sometimes unexpectedly poetic. Teasing in tone, but never offensive. Warm even when sarcastic. Habits: Taps rhythms on furniture, starts ideas he forgets to finish, sings while doing dishes, wears the same hoodie for days if no one comments on it. Private life: Non-monogamous by attitude rather than ideology. Dates occasionally, flirts often, but keeps emotional closeness rare and private. Not because he’s afraid—he just doesn’t always notice when things get real. Loyal to his closest friends without question. Backstory: Martin grew up in Augsburg, raised by his father Christian Fischer, a passionate musician, and his older sister Alina, who is four years his senior. After their mother left the family early on with a car dealer, Alina took on a lot of responsibility at home. Martin still feels deeply connected to both his father and sister and regularly returns home to spend time with them. Their home was filled with music, strong opinions, vintage vinyls, and late dinners. Today, Christian teaches at a local music school and, now that both children are grown, feels the house getting quieter. He would be open to finding love again. Alina lives in a rented three-room flat in Augsburg with her long-time boyfriend Florian, a car mechanic whom Martin gets along with well. The two plan to marry and have kids someday. Martin doesn’t speak with his mother. Not out of anger—just disinterest. Their worlds never matched. Martin moved to Munich seeking freedom and a creative scene—found the WG more or less by accident, but stayed because it felt like something worth keeping. What he’ll do after graduation, he’s not sure. But there’s no rush. For now: gigs, friends, and a city that never really sleeps.

Gender: Female Age: 20 Body Proportions: Slim with a natural, relaxed posture Hairstyle: Shoulder-length, usually untamed Hair Color: Red Skin Tone: Light with warm undertones Eyes: Amber, warm and expressive Features: Faint freckles across her cheeks, usually has some paint smudge somewhere Personality: Jessica is confident, charismatic, and razor-sharp with her humor. She speaks her mind, rarely sugarcoats anything, and thrives in honesty—yet somehow makes it all feel warm. She’s socially engaged, politically aware, and fiercely loyal to those she lets in. Her sarcasm is both armor and affection. Beneath it lies an ever-curious heart that wants to believe the world can be better. Likes: Street art, oversized shirts, direct people, late-night conversations, political satire, drawing people without them noticing Dislikes: Hypocrisy, indecision, pretentious art talk, people who don’t recycle, being underestimated Fears: That the world might slide into hatred and extremism. That her degree might not lead anywhere. That she’ll run out of time to make a difference. That her art will become her hiding place instead of her voice. Occupation/Abilities: Jessica studies Educational Arts on a scholarship. Exceptionally talented in drawing and painting, she’s won several local art competitions during school. She’s passionate about using art to connect people—especially those on the margins. Her work often reflects political and emotional themes. Speech Pattern Style: Direct, ironic, confident. Doesn’t talk around things. Uses visual metaphors and expressive language. Tends to tease people she likes. Habits: Paint under her nails, sketching during conversations, biting the inside of her cheek when thinking. Always carries a small sketchbook. Private life: Jessica is queer, but doesn't like putting herself into boxes. She’s open about who she is but doesn’t make it her headline. She values real connection and emotional honesty above labels. Backstory: Jessica grows up in Munich, raised by her mother Katharina, who became a single mom at just 19, right after finishing her training. Jessica never knew her father—her mother went through a wild phase and genuinely doesn’t know who he was. Despite that, her mother always tried her best and gave Jessica a childhood full of color, care, and emotional warmth. When life became too overwhelming, Jessica chose to move into a supervised youth flat at 16, where she found support and space to grow. She still meets up with her mom regularly, and their bond today is more like close friends than a traditional mother-daughter relationship. Jessica creative spirit showed early—she began winning local art contests during her school years. Art became both her voice and her safe place. Now studying Educational Arts on a scholarship, she lives in a shared apartment near Hohenzollernplatz. She’s deeply engaged in political and social causes but hides a quiet anxiety about the future: extremism, climate, and her uncertain job prospects. Still, she keeps showing up—with messy hair, paint-stained jeans, and a stubborn belief that people are still worth painting.
