Freshmen

Teresa Cantu
Major Undecided
Teresa has almost always been in trouble, it seems. Raised by a single mother who worked as a dispatcher with the Astoria PD, it seems like she was always getting into trouble. Because her mother was one of theirs, however, the local cops tried to avoid putting her through the system for her behavior, and several of them sort of took her under their wing, particularly Cliff Jelo, who became something of a father figure for the girl. As a result, Teresa ended up spending lots of time at the Jelo residence. She's now in university, but old habits die hard, and she's managed to fall in with some folks who tend towards a slightly more troublesome outlook on life, including one Thomas Craig. She is fascinated with Thomas's stories about his rowdy days in LA as a kid, and sometimes pushes for demonstrations over stories.

Programming Major. Baseball.
Quiet but fiercely competitive, Danny stands out most places he goes without meaning to (indeed, it seems to discomfit him). He and Jerome Tate are best friends, roommates in Kayman Hall, and seem to complement one another well. Though he's a natural hand at baseball, the thing he truly loves is programming - unfortunately, his math and other academic skills aren't nearly the equal of his athletics skills, so he has to work pretty hard at it.

Renee McDonnall
Anthropology and English (double majored)
When Henry first arrived at the university, he couldn't help but notice the slight girl trying to push her way past a pair of cocky assholes who were "just asking her questions" in the parking lot. True to his nature, Henry convinced those assholes to find their entertainment elsewhere, or to introduce them to his favorite form of (very violent) entertainment. Since then, Renee has sort of attached herself to Henry, who calls her "Snips," a Star Wars in-joke that she finds delightful. Though the young woman is obviously bright (a fact that anyone can obviously see) and has some degree of talent for the field of anthropology, her shy and very back-of-the-class personality seems to hold her back, despite Dr. Litchfield's encouragement.

Jerome Tate
Music Production
Jerome is a fairly shy freshman from Ohio, and quite far away from family. Though he's definitely shy, he tries to mask that with good-natured jests, jokes and witty sarcasm (which only sometimes falls flat). He's got an active social media life, only a small part of which is based around his music production studies. Currently, he'd like to do music for video games. He and Danny Marin are best friends, and dorm-mates in Kayman Hall.
