A. Haunted Hotel
A blonde girl, roughly seventeen, is lounging on one of the sofas in the lobby of the Hotel. Her hair seems to be in a perpetual state of static charge going a little bit in every direction. Using her flannel shirt as a makeshift extra pillow. Really it's more a layer of familiarity than anything else.

It was weird, being in a new city. Hell, it was weird being off the grounds of her high school. Last time she wasn't at school she was still alive after all. Humans - and probably the not quite humans given her existence - involved in this good and evil thing could see her, which helped out a bit since she hasn't seen any other ghosts yet. One of the Slayers helped her get moved into her room, a ghost with her own room was a little hilarious. But she stuck it out in the lobby mostly out of boredom.

She'd have to get used to haunting new places, but give her time.
B. It's My Party, I'll Die if I Want To
When she was alive, she didn't go clubbing. She had neither the opportunity in Split River nor the desire. She didn't drink, a fun side-effect of her mother. And she'd much rather curl up in a dark theater watching a classic horror film than she would a loud room of sweaty people throwing their bodies around to bad music.

But this was apparently the place people went here, and she needed friends. Especially living friends if there weren't other ghosts for her to mingle with. Guess ‘I'll only go clubbing over my dead body’ was mostly accurate. She sat in an empty stool near the bar waiting, annoyed, for someone to order something she'd like.

Finally a group of- she guessed track and field guys from a local school, ordered a round of sodas and when the glasses came down on the bar she quickly snatched up a root beer.

Neither bartender nor college athlete noticed her, or the missing drink. Because it was still there. The same drink in her hand was in the hand of the toned guy who probably could jump very well. She finally retreated from the bar over to a corner looking to see if anyone else saw her.

It was as good an ice breaker as any, “Hey, you can see me right?”

[So Maddie here doesn't have a body, and as far as ghosts go she doesn't have a lot of special powers. She can't even get into (or out of) locked rooms. She can make ghostly copies of stuff she picks up and most NPCs won't see her, so have fun looking a bit deraged to the locals if you talk to her.

She'll haunt any place she feels she'll find other people to talk to, but don't expect her to be very socially graceful. She's a bit of a mess. Tell me if you care about spoilers for the end of S1 of
School Spirits because she is from the end of the season and it's a murder mystery. So she knows things she's got thoughts on. Even if she might not share them outright.]
