Fandom: Gossip Girl
Name: Lorelei Bass Age: (series flexible/1 year older than Chuck) Nationality: American Parents: Bart & Evelyn Bass Children: Penelope Hamilton Hometown: Upper East Side, New York City Current Residence: New York City Occupation: Bass Shareholder & Gallery Owner Sexuality: Bisexual Eye Color: Brown Hair Color: Brunette Faceclaim: Phoebe Tonkin Backstory:
Only a year older than her sibling, Chuck, Lorelei couldn't be any more different to him - personality wise. She's an open book when it comes to relationships, easy to get along with and very much liked amongst the high society they're situated within in the Upper East Side. Though her whole family is centered around Bass Industries, she barely developed any interest for business dealings and things of the sort growing up. Coming from an extremely well off household, Lorelei was free to explore all her desires on a whim without expenses being a problem, and so she developed a love for the creative arts instead, even attending college to study art history. Whilst at college she met a man, Ben Hamilton, that would later become both her husband and the father of her child, only to be tragically killed in a mugging a few months into their marriage, leaving her alone and pregnant. Lori finally chose to use her inheritance from her father to buy into owning her own art gallery, naming it The Hamilton Gallery after Ben, and slowly building it into a reputable business of her own accord. Personality:
Lorelei is a very compassionate and caring person, always conscious of others' feelings and putting everyone before herself - even to a detriment. She's confident and headstrong when it comes to business relations, probably the only traits she inherited with the Bass gene, and she knows when to turn on the charm to get what she's after. Genuine and loyal, she's a much loved character in New York's elite society - not a girl that's easily forgotten, that's for sure. |
