Echo Blackburn

 is one of the main characters and the main protagonist of Paranormal Research Club. She is the leader of the club.

Appearance
Echo has long, black hair that reaches the middle of her back. She has bangs, but they only cover one side of her forehead while the other side has no hair covering it at all. She has fair skin with a small beauty mark below her bottom lip. Her eyes are an emerald green color.

Description
Echo is a seemingly emotionless girl, at least in the eyes of outsiders. Those in the PRC know that Echo is far from emotionless, she just struggles to show any emotions other than anger. Other than her minor anger issues, Echo is generally very kind and caring towards her fellow club members. If they ever get into sticky situations, Echo always tries to be in the center of all of it to prevent her friends from getting hurt.

Relationships

 * Loco Everleigh - A fellow club member. Echo deeply trusts Loco with the club so much she ended up making her the co-leader of the club. Loco is the first person Echo goes to to discuss future club activities before asking Nora for permission.
 * Fawn Kimberly - A fellow club member. Echo does get annoyed with Fawn sometimes due to her loud and energetic personality, but deep down she treasures her as a friend and enjoys being around her.
 * Aria Rothwell - A fellow club member. Echo feels as if she needs to protect Aria at any cost because of her shy personality and her tendency to get scared easily.
 * Nora Harper - The club's advisor. Echo looks up to Nora and is grateful for how supportive she is of the club, but often has the feeling she's hiding something.

Before the Series
Echo had been interested in the paranormal ever since she was a small child. Once she got to high school, she finally started searching for other people interested in this topic by starting a club dedicated to studying the paranormal. She eventually got three other members: Loco; Fawn; and Aria. But they still needed an advisor.

Echo decided to ask her homeroom teacher, Ms. Harper, who was very popular with her students as she was very kind and easy to talk to. With this, the PRC was complete for now and was allowed to start club activities.

The PRC continued club activities normally all throughout their freshman year, but things started to change in their sophomore year, bringing us to the beginning of the series.

Chapter 1
Echo, along with her other friends, decide to make twitter accounts to talk to each other and post about their club activities. Echo complains about how uneventful her day was and that she hopes for the next day to be more exciting. Loco comments that Echo should be getting some sleep soon considering the time. Echo agrees and finally gets some rest.

The next day rolls around and Echo decides to stop by the PRC club room before heading to class. She finds a strange envelope with no signature on it. When she mentions this on twitter, Loco and Fawn begin fighting in the comments of the post to which Echo tells them to shut up.

About twenty minutes pass and Echo sees that Fawn has made another post, saying that Loco was mean. Echo decides to respond by telling Fawn that wasn't the case and she was just annoying. Fawn was not amused.

A few hours pass and it was now 12 pm, which meant it was lunch time. Echo, Fawn, and Aria met up at their usual spot in the cafeteria. Loco was unable to come on time since she had already made a promise to help someone. Echo is upset about Loco's absence, but shakes it off and starts looking through her twitter feed. She notices someone has followed her account. The three girls take a look at the account and are slightly creeped out by it. Fawn tries to calm everyone down by saying it's nothing but a coincidence. Echo says she hopes Fawn is right, to which Fawn asks Echo to say that again. Echo refuses because she doesn't want to fuel Fawn's ego anymore that she already has.

A few hours pass and Echo doesn't get involved with the drama between Loco and Aria, as she wanted to focus on classwork. At 2 pm, Echo tells the girls on twitter not to be late for the club meeting.

At the club meeting, they start a bit later than usual as both Loco and Ms. Harper were running late. Echo tells Ms. Harper and the other members about the strange user that followed her on twitter. Everyone seemed to think this person might have been a stalker. Nora tries to calm their worries, but the calmness is short-lived as Echo informs them that the user had posted something on their account. She plays a recording of the conversation her, Fawn, and Aria had at lunch. Everyone was spooked by this, but they had to continue on with the the meeting regardless. Echo shows the group the envelope that was on the club room table that morning. Inside the unsigned envelope was an old paper that appeared to be a club form from the 70's for another Paranormal Research Club, also with four members. This also spooked them as they had always been told they were the first PRC in Evergreen High School. Ms. Harper mentions that one of the names listed on the paper sounded familiar, but she couldn't figure out why. Echo asks Ms. Harper to let them know if she remembers. The club argues about whether the stalker was the one who gave them the paper or if it was just a normal student who just happened to find the paper laying around somewhere.

After the argument, Echo tells everyone that the meeting is over and to go home for the day. They refuse at first, which makes Echo show her more frightening side, scaring Aria off. She apologizes but refuses to give an explanation. Loco yells at Echo in a tone she doesn't use very often. Echo rushes out of the club room, leaving only Loco, Fawn, and Ms. Harper.

About three hours later, when the girls are all at home and settled in, Loco, Fawn, and Aria message the PRC group chat asking Echo to explain. Echo apologizes and explains that she started to feel uncomfortable in the club room, as if she was being watched. Tired of all of the PRC related discussions, Echo says she's going to bed. The others are a bit confused at first as it was still quite early in the day, but they finally end the conversation by telling her goodnight. Echo lets her friends know that she loves them to which they respond with all kinds of heart emojis. Echo logs off and goes to sleep.
