St. Trinian's Fourth Form Students

In this post I'm showcasing my Fourth Form Students from St. Trinian's School for Girls. I only have four of them and they are a varied bunch. I came up with the backgrounds for all of these girls and none of them appeared in the films.
First up is Emily De'Ath, a teenage anaemic human St. Trinian's Fourth Form student who likes to paint subversive graffiti. Emily had a very unhappy childhood. Abandoned at birth she never knew who her parents were and she grew up in an orphanage, where she became sullen and withdrawn and rarely interacted with the other children, preferring her own company. At age 10 she was adopted by a young couple who had a very liberal attitude to life and were happy to let Emily do whatever she wanted. In September of that year they enrolled her at St. Trinian's School for Girls where Emily found a home amongst the Emo tribe, one of  a number of cliques within the school. She spent much of her second year playing truant as she tried to make sense of her life. In her third year she found an outlet in art, one subject she both enjoyed and was good at. Naturally, being an anarchic St. Trinian's student, this manifested itself in graffiti art. Her favourite trick is to spray paint graffiti on the cars of the schools she visits when the St. Trinian's hockey team plays away matches. When opposing teams visits St. Trinian's she always tries to spray paint their buses. Emily is rank grade:5 and is aged 14. Her figure is a goth Girl produced by Turnkey Miniatures.

Next to her Jayne Payne, a teenage tough as nails St. Trinian's Fourth Form student who strongly believes in justice. Jayne grew up in an orphanage after her mother died of  a drug overdose when Jayne was only five years old. Her father abandoned them after Jayne was born. It was a rough childhood for Jayne but it did toughen her up. When she was admitted to St. Trinian's School for Girls as a first former aged 11 she embraced the anarchic lifestyle of the majority of the other students. Jayne seemed to be destined for a life of crime as she joined the Rude Girls clan. However, her life changed during the summer holidays after her Third Year. The orphan agency found her a home with a couple who were willing to adopt her. The father had lost a leg to an Improvised Explosive Device whilst serving with the British Army. Much to her surprise, Jayne bonded with him immediately, and he changed her whole attitude to life, instilling in her a strong sense of justice. During her Fourth Year she changed from being a bully to someone who defended the weak and fought for justice. She carries her trusty club with her everywhere and uses it to devastating effect. She is rank grade:5 and aged 14. Her figure is produced by Statuesque Miniatures as Asylum Esme. I slightly converted her by cutting off the revolver she held in her right hand. Making her a thug would have been the obvious choice but I decided it would be more interesting to make her a vigilante as a force for good. Not every student in St. Trinian's is bad but I like to mix things up within the group.
Second from the right is Lucy Barker, a young illiterate human St. Trinian's Fourth Form student who rebels against authority. Lucy was never interested in school work and she took little interest in her classes at school. As a child, she was a bully who was forever getting into trouble. She frequently played truant and spent many hours in detention. Her parents were exasperated by her lack of interest in her education, and so enrolled her at St. Trinian's School for Girls in the hope that she might thrive at an all girls boarding school. As soon as Lucy learned that the pupils were divided into cliques, she joined forces with the Rude Girls tribe, who accepted her with open arms. It was here that Lucy did thrive, but not in the way her parents envisaged. She became even more of a bully and a rebel. Anarchy has now become a way of life for this truculent Fourth Former. She is rank grade:5 and is aged 14. Her figure comes from the Crooked Dice Games Savage Schoolgirls set 1.

Finally, is Nikki Thorpe, a young forgetful human St. Trinian's Fourth Form student who likes to cause mayhem and mischief. Nikki is the eldest of two sisters being two years older than Kylie. They suffered a terrible loss when their mother was killed by a drunken hit and run driver when Nikki was six years old. Both children were placed in an orphanage because their father was serving time in jail. He turned his back on both of them when he was released and he had no more contact with them. The orphanage placed Nikki in St. Trinian's School for Girls when she was 11 years old. Nikki soon grew to love her time at the school. Many of the other pupils were just like her coming from broken backgrounds, but they banded together and looked after each other. Both Nikki and Kylie, who also joined her at St. Trinian's, were troublemakers, forever causing mischief and mayhem. Kylie is also rank grade:5 and is aged 14. Her figure also comes from the Crooked Dice Games Savage Schoolgirls set 1.

    1. Thank you for the kind words, Greg. I hadn't thought of a school photo but seeing as you asked so nicely, it'd be rude not to! :-)

    1. Hey there, John. My thoughts exactly. I think Jayne works better as a vigilante than a thug because that's not what you'd think when you first meet her. Never judge a book by its cover.
