Ridiculously Simplified Synopsis edit
Characters/People edit
- Blair Cornelia Waldorf: As the reigning queen of Constance, it's a wonder our little vixen has any time for her favorite extracurricular activity—getting cozy with UES hottie Nate Archibald. From her ruby ring to her perfectly tailored cardigans, Blair is a true disciple of Audrey Hepburn.
- Nathaniel Fitzwilliam Archibald: With his wavy brown hair and deep green eyes, Nate commands a sailboat like he does women's hearts—effortlessly. But if Blair thinks she or any other woman can pin him down, she better take off those rose-tinted Prada glasses. Word is that N isn't the type to take himself completely off the market.
- Georgina Spark: a heiress who sold her show horse for cocaine and was caught using it. She's in the same rehabilitation center as Nate.
- Daniel Jonah Humphrey: Pale, shaggy, and rock star thin, Dan is St. Jude's official American Apparel ambassador. When he's not pounding back coffee or tweaking his poetic musings, he's obsessing over his one true love—Serena van der Woodsen. But be careful, D, you can't always get what you want.
- Erik van der Woodsen: Serena's hunky older brother who goes to Brown.
- Leo Berensen: The tall boy with a nice nose and hazel eyes with blonde tipped lashes. He was the boy Jenny saw at Bendel's.
- Vanessa Marigold Abrams: Vanessa is a Brooklyn-based hipster who dreams of attending NYU film school. Whether she's shaving her head or donning Doc Martens, V loves to stand out—and not always in a good way. But beneath her tough exterior, it looks like there's a certain someone V just can't seem to resist.
- Charles Bartholomew 'Chuck' Bass: With looks like he was plucked straight out of an aftershave commercial, Chuck is the ultimate UES party host. But be careful, ladies: whether he's dashing around the UES in his Jaguar convertible or showing off his pet monkey, the City is his jungle, and C is a predator, indeed.
- Jennifer Humphrey: A burgeoning young Brooklynite with UES aspirations, Jenny Humphrey stands out from her classmates—and with her 34D chest size it's certainly not hard to command their attention. But don't be fooled by her soft tresses and doe eyes. Deep down, J is as ambitious as any other queen of the UES.
- Arlo Abrams: Vanessa's hippie and artist father.
- Elise Wells: a gangly, freckled freshman girl with a blonde bob hair who has an issue of eating in public. She is Jenny's best friend.
- Rufus Humphrey: Dan and Jenny's father
- Gabriela Abrams: Vanessa's hippie and artist mother.
- Aaron Elihue Rose: Blair's stepbrother and Serena's boyfriend.
- Ruby Abrams: Vanessa's older sister who has a band called SugarDaddy.
- Siegfried Castle: Dan's boss when he interned in Red Castle.
- Serena Caroline van der Woodsen: With her navy blue eyes, flowing blonde hair, and statuesque figure, who doesn't want to be Serena van der Woodsen? After all, the only thing more stunning than her smile is her family's bank account. But remember: wherever S goes, scandal is bound to follow.

Thank you one and all for coming to my party last week. I would have written sooner but honestly, it's taken me this long to recover.
