Wilko Employees:

Emma, 47, is the manager of the store and is in good shape for her age. She is 5'4" tall, has long dark brown hair just past her shoulders and C-cup breasts. She's friendly, polite and helpful, and most of the staff agree she is a good manager.

Liz is 5'4" tall, her light brown hair is long, past her shoulders and she wears it in a ponytail nearly all of the time. She has size 30H-cup breasts, average curves and an ample backside. At work, due to her new position and her dislike of skirts, she is required to wear a black trouser suit, a white blouse and a pair of Prada black leather high heel loafers that boost her height to 5'7". Liz is married to her much older husband Eric, 53, and has a five-year old son, Ethan (via artificial insemination). Eric has a son, Reece, 28, and a daughter, Courtney, 22, from his previous marriage.

Aaron has a chubby girlfriend called Sue and they now have a young daughter named Kirsty who is nearly three years old.

Becca, 30, still the chattiest worker in the store, standing about 5'5". She is still a bit on the chubby side, which has made her ass a little bigger also, and her breasts are a C-cup. Her goth phase is way behind her and her hair is back to it's natural brown color. She now wears normal black slacks instead of jeans and either black sneakers or leather flats. Despite her minor weight gain, Becca is single again after splitting up with her boyfriend a year ago.

Luke, 27, a tall individual at 6'2" in height, has a short, dark brown crewcut hairstyle and is quite handsome and fit. He is popular and easy going, always one to have a laugh with his friends. He wears a red company shirt, black pants and smart, dress shoes. Used to have a crush on Rebekah but it went away some time after he hooked up with his girlfriend Rachel, 26, whom he is now engaged to.

Mark, 29, standing 6'1" tall, he is somewhat gangly and has short black hair in a crewcut. He has average looks, but is good natured and surprisingly he is still engaged to an attractive girlfriend named Vicky, who is 25 years old. They can't agree on their marriage date. The usual red company shirt is accompanied by Mark's black trousers and his black sneakers.

Rebekah, 25, one of the friendliest and prettiest staff members, very attractive woman, shapely figure, about 5'5" tall, long blonde hair, B-Cup breasts. She's slowly matured over the last few years and now looks much sexier. Very warm personality. She's currently single after breaking up with her Spanish boyfriend six months ago, but there is no shortage of male interest in her.

Laura, 24, is not so shy anymore, but still quiet, and she is Rebekah's best friend. Standing 5'5" tall, she also wears her dark blonde hair in a plait style or a ponytail at work, and wears the trademark company polo shirt, black, boot-cut trousers, black tights underneath and a pair of sensible black flats. This delightful individual has perky B-Cup breasts and is quite attractive. She is still dating her good looking boyfriend, Dylan, 24.

Charlotte, a 25-year old woman who has tried to change her behavior for the better over the last couple of years. Her co-workers have noticed an improvement in her attitude towards others, but she still finds herself easily irritated by some people she meets. And she is still more than capable of holding a grudge. Charlotte is the second tallest woman in the store at 5'9" tall, wears her dark hair in whatever style she fancies on the day. She also has B-Cup breasts. She wears black pants/leggings and either black flats or purple plimsolls. Charlotte is still dating a boy she met in college, Jacob, 24.

Jade, 25 years old, she has long auburn hair, which she nearly always wears down, but occasionally in a messy bun. Jade is 5'7", has C-cup breasts and is also on the slender side, but what sticks out about Jade most is her piercings and several tattoos. She is usually dressed in the company polo, a pair of tight womens' pants and black lace-up shoes. Jade is not a very chatty girl, and she's into rock music and some metal bands. Jade has shown no apparent interest in romantic relationships.

Rob, 24, a slender guy with short black hair, 5'9" tall, decent looks. He knows how to have a laugh and is a decent worker. Though he is known to slack off if those around him are doing the same. Wears black trousers and black sneakers as well as his Wilko polo. Rob has a 'casual' girlfriend, a cute 5'4" brunette named Stacey, age 22.

Liam, 23, still the worst employee at Wilko as far as work rate and personality are concerned. Liam is 5'8" and has now cut his brown hair short. Certainly not ugly but not male model material either. His work rate has improved slightly, but only since Liz was promoted to assistant manager. He's still not very popular with the other staff because of his lax attitude. He wears his company shirt, normal black trousers and a pair of black boots or sneakers. Liam still has no girlfriend, unsurprisingly.

Kiran, 22, is a very petite young woman, the shortest employee at 5'0" tall, and has long, dyed black hair, mostly worn down but occasionally in a ponytail.

Kiran is still with her boyfriend, Sean, 21.

Jessica, 28, is an attractive, curvy red-head, 5'5" tall and has C-cup breasts. She's outgoing, polite and acts very "girly", and with her red Wilko blouse/polo shirt and black trousers she also wears either a pair of black high heel ankle boots or stiletto pumps. She wears her ginger hair in a ponytail and she still has no interest in finding a boyfriend. Jessica is also heavily into environmentalism and donates to charities.

Michael, 26, is a tall, broad shouldered employee with short, neatly-combed dark hair. He's about 6'1" tall, has kind of a smug personality and isn't a stranger to skipping work whenever he can get away with it. Though he isn't as bad as certain others are at slacking. Michael wears a Wilko formal shirt instead of a polo shirt, black pants and smart black shoes. Michael is still engaged to his attractive girlfriend Amy, 23, but unlike Amy, he has shown no immediately interest in getting married yet.

Jodie, 24, is a redheaded young woman with freckles, she stands 5'4" tall and either wears her hair down or in a ponytail while she works. She has C-cup breasts and she wears the usual Wilko blouse/polo shirt, black trousers, socks and a pair of well-worn flats. She seems to be the quiet sort, not known to smile a lot, and is the mother of a two-year old son, Oliver, whose father wants nothing to do with him or Jodie following a family feud. Because of stress she suffers from, she smokes cigarettes but she is trying to quit.

Ellie, 23, a 5'3", friendly woman with light brown hair reaching to halfway down her back. She has a full figure but is not chubby, she also has perky C-cup breasts and a nice big ass which comes close to Becca's in size.

She has small A-cup boobs and a boyish ass, she has cropped, dark red hair and she wears designer glasses. She's a timid girl, but also friendly and chatty when engaged in conversation. Claire recently came out as a lesbian to her co-workers, but this really didn't surprise anybody. Despite coming out, her colleagues still don't know if she has had a girlfriend in the past or remains a virgin, and she hasn't shown any inkling of being willing to share such personal information.

Emily, 23, is 5'5", pretty, has a decent figure and is a quiet, slightly nerdy looking girl, preferring to keep to herself most of the time.
