You don't particularly have too, but if you want, your character can have a date to the ball. I think it makes it easier if your character has a date, or just a friend to go with, so then you'll know who to rp with.

My characters:

Levente: Stirling RaNdOmNeSs990
Breya: Eden Some_Random_Person98
Aviner:Alani Some_Random_Person98
Kainda: AITHNE! <3 -Sicarius-
Alexander: No date yet ;)
Kaida: Varian @ForTheCreed
Juliana: None yet :)
Rosalynn: Is to shy to ask anyone to the ball (plus is to shy to get to know anyone) so no one yet XD
