— mateo had never made a snowman before. if there had been enough snow to do so, he would’ve tried, but he wouldn’t have necessarily known what to do. roll a snowball around in the snow until it got bigger, and do that a couple of times… mateo figured there were better things to help kids out with, especially when the odds of snow were so painfully bleak in this city by the coast.

“that looks great,” he hummed to the little girl, her eyes lighting up at the acknowledgement before turning back to her project. sand castles. they weren’t quite snowmen, but they were still something that people could pitch in on to try and construct.
“mateo, look! i’m trying to make a snowman- out of sand!” one kid squeaked for mateo’s attention. “very nice, niño,” he praised. the kid smiled and went back to work.

he supposed this could be some sort of competition. he didn’t know what he could possibly give the winner, or if anyone wanted a gift for the best sand-creation. that being said, he would enjoy the enthusiasm that everyone had as they worked in their own little spots in the sand.

[Amy Ray]

Until she was about fifteen years old, it was a tradition for Geoff's children (at least the ones he had with Eliza) to make a snowman the moment there was enough snow on the ground. Literally; one year they'd tried to go out at ten o'clock at night while it was still snowing. They'd stayed out there about two and a half minutes before Eliza ushered them inside, scolding them for being so foolish.

Nine hours later they were back outside again.

Suffice to say, Amy hadn't built a snowman in a very long time. It filled her with a bittersweet nostalgia, but she couldn't bring herself to try and join in. She just wrapped her arms around herself, pulled her coat tighter, trying not to succumb to the cold too quickly before she got to her destination.

"Very nice, niño." The last word was what caught her attention. Such a pleasant word, one she hadn't heard in so long. "You speak Spanish?" She should have guessed, what with his name and his goddamn accent, but it was still a pleasant surprise.

— Amy is biracial, and her skin tone reflects that - not as pale as her father but not as tan as her mother. She has long dark brown hair that is almost always tied back in a severe ponytail - with some allowance for her bangs. She's about 5'7" and has a lean build. She has brown eyes that seem to hide haunting memories - while not dark-intentioned there is rarely light in them. She has a scar under her left eye and severe burns on her hands, arms and legs as well as freckles on her face. She has three piercings in each ear and one in her belly button. She keeps herself clean and well-groomed, her eyebrows maintained and when possible her legs and underarms shaved. Typically she wears an off-white shirt and blue tie and black slacks that have seen better days and been mended and repaired repeatedly.

Personality
— Amy is generally a serious person and doesn't take a lot of time to have fun. She isn't a stranger to it by any means, nor does she consider it an enormous waste of time, but she rarely feels it has room in her life. She's usually very guarded and doesn't let people in very easily and prefers taking relationships slowly. It can't be said whether she's particularly honest or dishonest, or loyal or disloyal - there are certain topics she will not speak of and will lie about though she usually prefers to be candid, and while not inherently disloyal she has betrayed some that were close to her. She is a very stubborn and bullheaded individual and once she's convinced of something there is no way to convince her otherwise. Typically Amy is a woman of logic more than emotion and keeps said emotions on a tight leash (though she feels her emotions very strongly), she is still dictated by a strong sense of what's right and wrong and does her best to stay in the right rather than the wrong and feels a deep sense of shame whenever she hurts someone - which she (to her own horror) is indeed capable of doing. She tries to be pacifistic but when forced to violence or thinks it's the right thing to do or when her temper is tried too much, she will lash out, often regretting it later on.
