Siobhan Cullen                     Wed Apr 04    Siobhan
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fame 3: Her mother and father ran a very popular and lucrative television
  religious service show and had several mega-churches throughout the Bible
  belt. Siobhan was front and center in the choir on her parents program until
  she was seventeen and everything came to a halt. When they were killed in a
  car accident (the good reverend was driving drunk) she inherited it all, sold
  off their stocks and got the hell out of the whole situation. Everyone that
  heard her said she had the voice of an angel and would have an amazing career
  in music when she got older, but she hasn't seem to have done anything with
  it recently. Instead she's been seen currently attending University.

Sword-Smith                        Fri Apr 20    Hideaki

Fame 1 - Master level Japanese Sword-Smith has recently relocated to the city
  from his homeland of Japan, and is setting up shop in the area. For those
  interested in metal work, or wealthy enough to keep tabs on blades that are
  expected to go straight in to museums because of quality, his name would have
  surfaced from time to time.

Fame 1: Serah Jane Starr           Sun Jul 08    Serah
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Serah Jane Starr (as she's known online) is a decently known lifestyle blogger.
  She touches on a little bit of everything: makeup, music, art, health, and
  trends and fads. What sets her apart from the hordes of other like bloggers
  is her inclusive videos (different bodies, and skin types, and hair types, oh
  my!), occasional diversions into serious health topics, and willingness to
  give real honest reviews on products.

Fame 4: Simone Blake (Update)      Fri Aug 10    Simone
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ah, Simone Blake. Who doesn't love a good story of celebrity self-destruction,
  followed by a comeback?

Simone burst into the public consciousness in 2011 with her self-titled debut
  album. Critics praised her crystal clear soprano, in particular the contrast
  between it and the grittier rock stylings it was overlaid on. Commercially,
  it was also a success, with two of the songs ("By the Water" and "Don't Wait
  Up") charting, along with the album itself.

Then things started to go bad. There were rumors of an affair, a breakup, and
  drug use. Tabloids loved it, and just a few years after her hit debut, the
  main thing she was known for was stumbling drunkenly down the red carpet,
  vomiting in the street at 9 AM, and pissing herself during a show. In 2015,
  in the midst of this, she released a second album, "Because It's There." It
  was absolutely terrible, with lazy songwriting and raspy singing. Her label
  dropped her, and she slinked off to Prospect.

And then, in mid-2018, she released a new album. "Siren Song" debuted to
  positive critical and listener reviews, with Rolling Stone calling it "a
  layered and eclectic meditation on addiction and its aftermath." Like her
  first album, it charted, along with two singles ("Key to My Heart" and "After
  the Storm"). Although she's popped up in the tabloids here and there, mostly
  for allegedly cheating on her city councilman boyfriend, she seems to
  actually be doing well and staying clean this time.
