COOPER ANDERSON | Age: 29 | New York City
Relationship Status: Single
Ships: Any (Cooper/female)
Biography:
Cooper is a devilishly good-looking 29 year old living alone in Manhattan. Two years ago he received his M.D. in Psychiatry from UPenn. Currently he works at a private practice, but he would like to work in a more personal capacity with his patients and is looking into jobs in more specialized settings, preferably with adolescents.
He recently broke off an engagement to his long-time girlfriend who he had been dating since undergrad. The break-up wasn’t exactly pretty, but they are still on relatively amicable terms. While his friends are trying to convince him to start dating again, he is not looking for another relationship any time soon.
RACHEL BERRY | Age: 21 | New York City
Relationship Status: Single
Ships: Finchel, St. Berry, Faberry, Coopel Anderberry, Puckelberry; open to anything.
Biography:
Rachel Berry worked her whole life to make it to New York City. Was there ever a chance she wouldn’t get there? Rachel would like everyone to know that answer is a solid “hell no!” Although her dream has come true, and New York is now her backyard, Rachel didn’t realize she was such a naïve, small town girl. You can take the girl out of Ohio, but you can’t take the Ohio out of the girl, apparently.
Three years after graduation, Rachel is still trying to settle into the fast-paced lifestyle of a New Yorker. After two years at NYADA, she dropped out take the female lead in an off-off-off Broadway (can it even be considered Broadway at that point?) show directed by and staring Jesse St. James. Two nights after the dismal opening, Rachel was out of a job and out of options, and she began auditioning for every show in town, whether hiring or not.
When she’s not trying to find a producer to take a chance on her talent—rather than on her “talent”—she spends her time and most her money absorbing all the vibrancy the city can offer. Tomorrow, she has an audition. She thinks this might be the big one.

Instead of accepting her place at Yale, she decided on Columbia because she fell in love with New York upon her second visit there. She’s studying on the Theatre Arts program, but has discovered a love for writing and photography through her work with the college magazine. She’s undecided on her future career at the moment, but journalism and playwriting really appeal to her so those are her main options.
She lived in a dorm during her first year, but now shares an apartment with a girl called Jennifer who she became good friends with through their work together in her first year of classes. She’s currently single and has been that way, apart from one short lived relationship, since high school.
KURT HUMMEL | Age: 20 | New York City
Relationship Status: Engaged to Blaine Anderson
Ships: Klaine (endgame)
Biography:
Kurt was accepted at NYADA and in fact spent his freshman year there – however, he realized that perhaps musical theater wasn’t the right fit for him, and transferred to Parsons School of Design the next year, working on a BFA in fashion design and hoping to go on to designing costumes on Broadway. It helps, of course, that Parsons’ fashion school is in the heart of Times Square.
Kurt keeps in touch with most of his old friends – especially the ones in the city - and is still dating Blaine Anderson. Now in his junior year at Parsons, Kurt’s ready to study abroad in Paris during the summer, and claim the responsibility of being an HR (Head Resident) during the next academic year. It’s also possible that he might move up from his unpaid internship at a local theater company to a paid one – and he certainly won’t complain. Every cent he earns is going towards one thing and one thing only – his first apartment with Blaine.
