[fundielicious-simblr]

(Maggie's POV)

Another summer vacation in the books! We've been doing Sulani vacations for a few years now, and I'm so happy that my sister Amira and her family could join us. This year we rented out a larger house in a different area of the island, we got our own private beach this year which was great as Amira would be more comfortable. Growing up we didn't go to beaches a lot because there would be loads of immodest dress, and my parents didn't want to have us surrounded by it. As a result we spent time at the lake at certain times in the off season when it wouldn't be as crowded, or we'd book out a community pool, we'd also hang out at lakes or pools where we knew that everyone there had the same convictions on modesty.

We got there a few days before, so we spent that time getting the kids acclimated to being on the sand, as well as doing water safety with the twins. Teaching them how to act when around a large body of water is very important to us as their safety is of the utmost importance. We have them in swimming lessons, but you can never be too careful.

I'm so happy that Amira chose to join us this year, she and Thomas weren't sure whether they'd make it due to him not being sure if he'd get time off work, but they ended up being able to make it. Since she lives in Windenburg, we have to plan when we're going to see each other if it's not at different family events; Stacey sees her more often than I do since she goes to visit her mum and sister. Amira is number 8 in the lineup compared to me being 5th, so growing up was us being close to different siblings because of the age difference. Since I got married and moved away at 18, when she was a teenager herself, we've had to put in the effort to maintain our relationship.

[1] L-R: Liam [5] (Reece & Stacie's son), Arlo [2], Hazel [2] (R&S's daughter), Iris [2], and Maya [1] (Amira & Thomas' daughter)

I'm so happy that my children get to experience the same things I did growing up, constantly being surrounded by cousins and having great experiences together. One thing I definitely appreciate about having a large immediate and extended family is that there are always people to have fun with. Shane and I have been back and forth on what type of schooling to choose for the kids, and we decided to enroll the kids into daycare. We found a great christian school system in the city that has a curriculum that we approve of that runs a daycare and a K-12 school, so the kids age out of the daycare and straight into the school. Reece and Stacie have Liam who is on is aging out of kindergarten, and they've decided to enroll him in a homeschool co-op that Hazel will join later when she's old enough. Little Maya is still too young for school, so Amira and Thomas haven't thought about what they're going to do though they are leaning towards homeschooling when the time does come.

We left the kids with babysitters for one night out with just the adults so we could have a nice catch up (and plan our next vacation). Thomas is still working with the accounting firm and has got his certification so he's qualified for a promotion! Amira has decided to head to college for her Associates degree, she's not 100% sure what she wants to focus on so she's doing that instead of a full blown bachelor's degree. Whilst we were all homeschooled and went off to do different things, us girls weren't necessarily pushed to do anything extra curricular that didn't involve ministry or marriage. My older sisters dove into ministry and later marriage and motherhood, and I took a liking to photography so they encouraged me there and I started working while I was still in school, then got married and continued working. I know that my mother would appreciate if I focused on being a homemaker like my married sisters and sisters-in-law, but this is where I have and continue to feel the Lord directing me.

Stacie is a full-time stay-at-home mum now that Liam is going to be in 'full time' school, when the kids were smaller she would do some coding here and there but now she'll be homeschooling she'd rather prioritise that. She's mentioned that they're talking about adding a final baby to their family, with how complicated pregnancy is for her it's a serious choice for them to be making for their family.

Shane and I have also been discussing adding another little one to the family, but with the kids being small I think we're going to wait a year or two so theyre out of diapers and more independent toddlers before we give them a sibling. Right now we're enjoying the learning curves that come with having twins, growing up we had Priscilla and Annette as the younger set, but having twin girls is different than having a girl and a boy, so this is new even for me. We're hoping to go away for Christmas time with Shane's parents to go visit some of their relatives, but we have yet to finalise plans. If we dont end up travelling with Shane's parents or Reece and Stacie, then we'll probably end up celebrating in the city or maybe even head back to Newcrest to be with my family.

Amira let out a soft snort, arms crossing over her chest. Only solidifying her defiance. "As if? I'm sure you're more talk than action." She waved a hand, side stepping him. "You truly like to talk like you're in charge of me."

open — f/nb muse — thomas "tommy" reed - early 30's (can be changed upon request) plot — any connection (enemies to lovers, older brother's friend, friend's older brother, bodyguard x the person they are guarding, celebs, mob, etc...)

tommy rolled his eyes at her comment. "if you have any doubt about my ability to fuck the ever-loving sarcasm right out of you, i'll be more than happy to clear it up." he replied, taking a step toward her.

Summary:

In the aftermath of his alliance with villains like Scarecrow and Deathstroke, Jason Todd grapples with the weight of his actions and their consequences on those he loves. At a secluded safe house, he confronts his emotional turmoil and reveals his deepest secrets to Amira. Together, they navigate a path through betrayal, hidden truths, and the harsh realities of Jason's past actions and current crises.

Author's Note:

On Thomas and Martha Wayne's grave I will post the x reader story. But in the meantime, here is an OC storyline that I wrote

"We can fix this together," Batman said. Jason thought those words to himself. Speeding on his motorcycle, he rode to a safe house on the outskirts of Gotham. He kept Amira there, guarded by two of his militia, aware of the danger but still very much dependent on Amira's presence.

"Sir?" One of his militiamen said

"Leave. You're relieved of your post," Jason replied. The two men nodded and left their station. Jason entered the safe house and ensured it looked like a natural home, keeping Amira safe and none the wiser about what was happening. 

He walked to the fridge, taking a beer bottle out. Looking at the bottle, he angrily threw it across the room. Hearing the noise, Amira left the bedroom. She watched Jason drink a beer with four empty beer bottles beside him. His hand squeezed on the bottle so tight that his knuckles turned white. He was swaying slightly, and his eyes were red.

"Jason?" Amira called out, her voice barely a whisper. He stared at her, mouth slightly agape, nose red, eyes bloodshot. The tears were like an overflowing dam had burst. Amira treaded carefully towards him. Jason rushed into Amira's arms, arms wrapped tightly around her waist. He cried profusely in her arms. Amira was taken aback, but noticing his struggle, she rubbed on his back, consoling him.

"I'm sorry I brought you into this; I'm sorry for everything," Jason cried; his breathing was erratic as he was crying.

"Jason—" Amira couldn't understand what Jason was saying. Before she could ask for clarification, he pushed her off him, grabbing another beer and downing it. Grabbing his sixth beer, Amira held his hand. She tried to grab the bottle from him, but Jason's grip was iron-shut.

Jason watched her; his eyes were glazed over. He loosened his grip, and Amira put the bottle away.

"I don't know what to do– I don't know how to feel," Jason confessed, sniffing his nose; Amira wiped the tears from his eyes, which only caused Jason to cry more as he leaned into her touch. 

"Tell me what you feel now?" Amira asked, putting her head on top of Jason's. Their foreheads touched as she placed her hand over his heart.

"Angry, confused– and sad, I feel... lost," Jason said; he put his hand on Amira's, his breaths easing in a gentle rhythm. 

"Okay, tell me what's making you feel this way," 

"I did a lot of bad things. If I tell you you're going to leave," Jason said; Amira got closer to Jason, her body pressed against him as she kissed his lips. 

"When I saw you in Venezuela,  you asked me to stay with you. It was like I had a whole world I didn't know existed back in my life; whatever it is, I'm gonna stay," Amira said

So he told her everything, his alliance with Scarecrow and Deathstroke, the real reason for the militia, the cloudburst, why Amira and Chloé were kept in this safe house, and his devotion to killing Batman. Even telling her bits and pieces of his torture caused by the Joker. Amira listened, and she listened intently; she did step away slightly from him for a moment, understandably seething from anger. Jason picked up the beer bottle and drank it as Amira paced along the living room; he attempted to follow her and tried holding Amira's hand, standing still when Amira flinched it away.

"You put me and Chloé in danger!" 

"I know,"

"You– nearly destroyed the city!"

"I... I know,"

"You—You planned it the whole time. You were planning when we were in Venezuela, and I was pregnant. I thought I was helping when you had me working in the medic; I taught them life-saving techniques!" Amira ranted. By the time she finished, her anger had receded. She was tired of the lies, but she also saw how much pain Jason had gone through himself. He started to remove his armor, baring his body.

She had only seen Jason naked a handful of times, and it still made her stomach turn to look at him; there were scars all over his body, the bruises were all around, raised against his skin like unintelligible braille, and there were stitches on his chest and stomach.

"It looks like a buckshot wound,"  Amira thought. She approached Jason, who turned his back from her, leaning against the kitchen island, holding his head, and swaying.

"I'll transfer enough funds into your account, take Chloé and get out of here," He said

"Even his back looks worse for wear,"  his spine was slightly contorted, and his back and shoulders looked tight and tense; walking behind him, she wrapped her arms around his waist, burying her head on his back.

"I told you– I won't leave you. No more lies, though," Amira said. Jason was silent, but he touched Amira's hand, recognizing her loyalty to him even if he didn't feel like he deserved it right now.

"Scarecrow will unmask him; he wants the world to see Bruce Wayne," he said; his voice was indifferent, with no indication of what he may have been thinking.

"You should help him," Amira added; she wrapped her arms around Jason's waist a little tighter, resting her head on his back.

Jason thought about it. Turning around in Amira's arms, he lifted her up in a bridal way and carried her to the bed, tucking her in and kissing her forehead. Jason then turned to the cradle. Chloé was sound asleep. He grazed her cheek with his finger, eliciting a small coo from the infant. 

Jason yelled at Bruce that he didn't deserve friends or people who loved him, but he was starting to think he didn't deserve that either. He fixed his red helmet and made a new symbol for himself on his uniform. Jason thought about what Amira had suggested, eyebrows furrowed and conflicted. He put his helmet on and left the safe house. 

Making his way to Arkham Asylum.

The men of Wylde Flowers power rankings

Keep in mind I'm still in spring, so I might learn more things about these guys that moves them up or down later. But for now:

1. ANGUS. Omg I wish romancing him was an option (Francis is very sweet though). He's perfect. He's a baker, he makes puns, he's part Scottish. Sigh...

2. Thomas. When my friend told me there's no romance route for him, I was mad as hell. He would just be perfect to like soften up over time and fall for. Dreamy. We could talk shit about Marty.

3. Damon. The game is trying to put us together lol we had one conversation where Lina was ragging him for being single and I chose the answer that was like "Aw Lina, let him be" and that conversation eventually led to like "Maybe we can go out sometime?" But nothing further yet. He just seems like a good guy overall.

4. Kai. All those surfing injury stories are gnarly but he does have cool stuff in his shop.

5. Francis. Nice guy, very cosmopolitan, talented at his job. Please go to sleep sometimes, Francis. Maybe I can make you a sleeping potion. Please sleep.

6. Parker. Just seems like a friendly fella. He has that good spatial reasoning - he has to for his job - and I like that. Has his hands full with the twins. He just had me get him some tulips for his anniversary and that was really sweet.

7. Bruno. The fact that his stand is called Soft and Son's but Otto doesn't want anything to do with it is so sad. Okay so maybe he has a drinking problem but nobody's perfect.

8. Shelby. I'm not put off by the "weird guy living in the woods" thing and he has some smart stuff to say. He alluded to some of his relatives having been killed in the Holocaust and that broke my heart.

9. Getting hit by a bus

10. Cameron. I'm from the south. I've seen lots of these charismatic smooth-talking religious hucksters. I don't trust Cameron one dang bit.

11. Otto. Totally fake ass politician trying to get the votes from an electorate of, what, twelve? I don't trust him either. Trying to spread all that "be afraid of your neighbors" Nextdoor crap. I just know he's gonna try to go all Crucible on the coven if he finds out anyone's identities. (I am trying to be friendly to Vanessa though - she told me the story of her friend Amy and I just felt sad for her.)

12. Marty. This man is the feds or something. We've had like 3 interactions and every one has me going 🤨. The fact he was clearly lying about his last name and almost tripped on it. The weird hesitation to tell me he used to be a consultant. Calling me a "girl farmer" like sir I am a grown woman. When I first learned that a rancher was coming, I thought oh nice maybe another romantic prospect. But even if a romance route was available for this guy, I would absolutely not take it.

Maybe next time I play through, I should pick "Claire" when Hazel asks me about my former fiance's name and then pursue Amira because she was coming on HARD to me 😳

I should power rank the women later too lol

Meghans Nigerian Journey: the Netflix special you probably wont see by u/Mickleborough

Meghan’s Nigerian Journey: the Netflix special you probably won’t see It all started so innocuously: on some forgotten podcast in October 2022, Meghan said: ‘I just had my genealogy done a couple of years ago…[I’m] 43% Nigerian.’(1) (2) (3) She had to say something like that because the podcast was called ‘Upending the Angry Black Woman Myth’, and the podcasts were, of course, all about her.(1) It’s been discussed to death that, as Nigeria isn’t an ethnic group (but rather is a country with diverse ethnic groups), one can‘t be any percent ‘Nigerian’.(2) Doria‘s maternal great-great-grandfather was biracial. Thomas is Dutch-Irish, maybe with Swiss-German thrown in. Does all this result in 43% African-American blood? What is Meghan Markle’s ethnicity? Meghan’s mother, grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-great grandparents were all born in the US - so where does ‘Nigeria’ come from?(3) How do you ’just’ have something done ‘a few years ago’? ‘Just’ means a short period of time.Daily Mail article on Meghan’s Nigerian ancestry disclosure archived / unarchivedThen at the Invictus Games in September 2023, Harry refers to Meghan’s alleged Nigerian ancestry, and Lolo and behold! the Nigerian team bestows upon her a Nigerian name: Amira Ngozi Lolo - Amira was the name of a legendary royal princess: ‘Ngozi’ means ‘blessed’: and Lolo, ‘royal wife’. [Nothing left of her own identity: was the Nigerian taking the piss?]People archive / unarchivedNow Neil Sean claims that Netflix is interested in doing a documentary on Meghan’s ‘Nigerian journey’. However Meghan’s proving reluctant. Is this because:- The loving mom doesn’t want to be separated from her children for the duration of filming? But Netflix has said that she can take them with her.- Would that be too concrete an affirmation of her as a POC? Despite her vocal partisanship, she didn’t have any of her (black) Ragland family at the wedding, nor does she have POC friends (except famous ones). - Or would the 43% Nigerian claim speedily unravel? Let’s not forget she was happy enough to go to Malta to track down an alleged (white) Maltese great-great grandmother, at ELLE magazine’s expense. But then again, that was when Meghan was white.Neil Sean YouTube post link: https://ift.tt/NxyAWrd author: Mickleborough submitted: November 11, 2023 at 11:39PM via SaintMeghanMarkle on Reddit

🌲🍁🥧 Harvestfest 🌲🍁🥧

(Adalynn's POV)

Happy Harvestfest! We all made out way to my parents house in Newcrest for a weekend full of family, food, and fellowship. One thing we tried to arrange beforehand was the grandkids picture since we didn't manage to get one last year, and now that the babies that were in utero last year have been born (and no one that we know of is pregnant) we decided now was the perfect time. We mixed up the kids so that there was a big kid-little kid plan, mostly for crowd control purposes so that they would be able to handle the toddlers. The oldest four (Noah, Luke, Chloe, and AJ) were holding the youngest four (Grace, Everett, Jackson, and Bethany). As the years go by and the children grow (and with more being born, Lord willing) we'll have to keep finding new ways to arrange all the children.

Annette (21), Macie (33), Casandra (53), Allan (56), Ashton (17)

My parents and the girls at home are all doing great! Now that there's no longer anyone in school, my parents have more time for their other things, though it seems with the more the family grows the busier they'll get! My dad continues to shepherd the flock of Newcrest Baptist, there's a blossoming pastoral staff that also help to keep the place running for the Lord's glory. It also gives him time to travel to speaking engagements at other churches as well as different revivals, jubilee's, hymn sings, and festivals. My mother is also busy with her role as mother, grandmother, and pastor's wife. She somehow finds the time to show all of us that we're definitely loved and valued. She helps to homeschool Barrett and Kyleigh's kids whenever needed, as well as the kids coming to their house for music lessons. When they're not home or travelling to commitments, they're usually visiting with one of us that live out of town, they try and schedule their visits to us to coincide with their travelling for their commitments. My sisters are all busy busy bees! Macie splits her time between being at home or in ministry, and when she's not doing that she's visiting with one of us. Annette works as a babysitter helping families at church that need that extra support, she just loves children and is grateful she gets to spend time with children all day. Both girls remain in a season of singleness, and they're using it to the full, with our cousin Celeste getting married this winter they've been recruited to help with the planning and execution of the wedding. Ashton also babysits children in the congregation, she's in the church choir and spends her days helping out wherever she can. Since she has less responsibilities she spends the most time travelling, so she gets to spend longer amounts of time with the siblings.

Mason (35) & Adalynn Leonard (34) with Titus (2) and Bethany (3m), Luke (10), Paul (8), Caleb (4), Joshua (6), Jonah (4), Noah (12), Aaron (9)

We are so thankful for the Lord's grace! Little Bethany joined our family this summer and we are over the moon that the Lord chose for this little girl to join us - her 8 older brothers and her parents are over the moon! We've had two kids get saved this year (Paul & Joshua) and it's such a blessing that we've been able to lead our kids to the Lord for his glory! Since the arrival of little miss, Mason and I have been feeling like the Lord is leading us in the direction of a new house. Since she's so young and has about a year in our room with us, we have time to see whether we're going to extend the house by adding a level or whether we'll move to a whole new house altogether. We've got a bunch of prayer warriors on our side so I'm sure we'll get an answer soon.

(AN: Ignore the height differences, planning poses with so many sims means you gotta sacrifice a few things here and there)

Barrett (33) and Kyleigh Collins (31) with Preston (2) and Jackson (6m), Marigold (6), Daisy (7), Benjamin (9), Rose (8), Olivia (4), Violet (8), Jefferson (1), Allan Jr (9), and Chloe (9)

Barrett and Kyleigh are also thankful for a new blessing from the Lord, little Jackson made his appearance soon after Parker and Lana's wedding, so we got a 2-for-1 deal really! They're also prayerfully considering their house, so our prayer circles are really working hard in this season our two families are in. They also had two kids get saved this year, it brought so much joy to my heart when Kyleigh shared in our group chat that the girls had gotten saved and baptised at church! My parents started the tradition of gifting the 'savee' a bible and a family lunch, and it's such a precious tradition that they're able to now carry out with their grandchildren. They only have 12 grandkids that are in the average age range for getting saved (of course it can happen before or after that time period - all in the Lord's timing!), but as the grandchildren grow and continue to multiply they're going to need the Lord's help to get them everywhere that they're needed!

Francisco (34) and Zoe Moreno (30) with Javier Jr (3) and Cassie (1)

Zoe and her family are happy and thriving in Windenburg, Francisco's job gives him weekends off so the family gets to attend church on the weekends. Zoe has amassed a solid amount of students that she teaches piano and violin, as well as some students that she video conferences for their lessons. With two young children to care for and a house to maintain, she's an expert at managing her time. They're slowly approaching the time when Francisco gets his orders and they've got to move, but they've not put their choices in yet so we have no idea where they'll be right now. Little Cassie turns two years old in a few months, so the plan is to have a birthday party for her when we're all back in town for Celeste's wedding. Ashton is heading back to Windenburg to spend some time with them as well as with Amira and her family, she'll ride back with them for the wedding.

Shane (28) and Maggie Wright (27) with Iris (2) and Arlo Wright (2)

Maggie and her family are doing wonderful! They were in Sulani earlier this summer with Reece and Amira's families, it's wonderful getting to see my younger siblings bonding as adults with families of their own. Little Arlo and Iris seem to have grown leaps and bounds since I last saw them, the kids love getting to video chat with them and love whenever they get to visit with each other. Usually Maggie and her family will try and pass through to see us during their travels, so that's when the kids get to see each other.

Reece (26) and Stacie Collins (26) with Liam (5) and Hazel (2)

Reece and Stacie have also been doing great, Liam has breezed through kindergarten and is getting ready to start grade 1. Stacie will be homeschooling Liam through a homeschool co-op, they said that they felt that was the best option for getting the kids socialised with like minded children.

Beckett (24) and Mandy Collins (22)

Beckett and mandy are back for their yearly vacation from the mission field. It's so great to see them in person and hear the wonderful stories they have to tell about the great work that they're doing out there in Selvadorada. Whilst they haven't been blessed with a child as of yet, the Lord has kept them content with their current life and has showered them in blessings of many kinds. They'll be focusing on fundraising efforts for the mission field, as well as trying to see as much family as they can.

Thomas (24) and Amira Eichelburg (23) with Maya (1)

Amira and her family are wonderful and thriving! Little Maya is such a sweet girl, a total reflection of her wonderful mother! Amira was such a wonderful baby and child, and Maya is exactly like her mother. Their little family are wonderful and are so blessed by the Lord, and they've been doing more travelling this year when their schedule allows. They'll be sharing Ashton with Zoe this winter as they get to have some quality sister time before we meet again for Celeste's wedding.

Felix (26) and Priscilla Robert (21) with Andrew (2) and Grace (9m)

Little Grace has joined the family since we were last all together, and her name is so precious! Little Andrew is such a wonderful big brother and these two babies are the light of their parents lives! Priscilla always says that life in Oasis Springs spoils them with the heat, but she does miss having the traditional autumn and winter weather and is glad to be with family - as we all are!

Charles (20) and Lorilee Collins (19) with Everett (9m)

Charles and Lorilee welcomed little Everett into the family around the new year, and have been thanking the Lord for that blessing. Lorilee has been sharing that she's been doing better than expected at the postpartum period, especially for a first-timer. They're talking about moving out of their apartment and finding a house for their little family (that they're hoping to expand!)

Parker (19) and Lana (19) Collins

Lana was also a new joiner to the family this year! She's such a sweet girl and is a wonderful wife to Parker. Their wedding was beautiful and wonderfully glorified the Lord, which is a testament to the minds and hearts of Parker and Lana. As an older sibling, it's been my prayer that my siblings find spouses that challenge them and push them to the Lord, and I'm thankful to say that Lana does exactly that!

We also managed to take a group picture! There's 55 people in our 'immediate' family - imagine that! There's my parents, then the 13 kids, the 10 spouses, and 30 grandkids! The lord has blessed us greatly and beyond our wildest imagination.

For comparison, this is a picture from way before any of us got married, and then a picture with Mason, Noah, and Kyleigh in the family. Who would've thought that in less than 15 years we'd go from a family of 15 to a family of 55! This is probably the biggest example of God's goodness in our lives!

Carta abierta dirigida al Gobierno Federal de Alemania: "Vemos con el mayor horror el genocidio que Israel está cometiendo contra el pueblo palestino. Estamos profundamente consternados. Sentimos dolor y estamos indignados ante este flagrante desprecio por la vida, un desprecio que este gobierno alemán espera que aceptemos como necesario y normal. Durante más de un año, el gobierno alemán ha participado activamente en la matanza y deshumanización de palestinos proporcionando apoyo político, financiero, militar y legal a Israel. La complicidad de Alemania en las atrocidades de Israel debe terminar"... Los firmantes iniciales incluyen al economista francés Thomas Piketty, a la escritora germano-estadounidense Deborah Feldman, la periodista israelí Amira Hass, el historiador israelí Raz Segal y el profesor de música Michael Barenboim

what muses will you be playing???

apologies for the late reply noonie! i took some time this weekend to touch grass and i had some things at work i needed to catch up on today. but! i am really excited about the muses i made for this rp and i hope you guys will enjoy them as much as i did when creating them

miss sabine auclair ( 38, played by gugu mbatha - raw ): the owner of the modiste, she is the secret keeper of the ton though she never promised that those secrets would stay with just her. her application can actually be viewed as the sample application in the app form and if anyone is thinking of applying for the beausoleil or chandra head, i have the juiciest wanted connection for you.

princess evangeline starling ( 32, played by arsema thomas ): following the death of her husband, the former heir to the french throne, evangeline was supposed to marry his sister and solidify her status as the future queen of france. yet, his sister had secretly wed the love of her life, and her wife was poised to take the title evangeline spent years coveting. ashamed, evangeline had to return back home only to be faced with the death of her mother two days after she reached the english shores. evangeline is really a study of grief, the guilt of moving on and continuing to live when those you care about are gone, plus she has to keep up the charade that everything is fine within the royal household, even though the truth is the opposite.

lady juiletta amira chandra ( 27, played by charitha chandran ): the second youngest chandra, juiletta's laughter and blushing cheeks are well known to the ton. perceived as innocent and inguine, juiletta plays into those rumors, never committing to any of her suitors. constantly moving and searching, the question is what is she actually searching for?

lady genevieve yue ( 25, played by shen xiaoting ): genevieve is really my interpretation of the disney princess belle with a mix of eloise bridgerton thrown in. a bookworm, gwen finds more joy in the words and worlds found bound into the pages of a book than in the world around her. while she looks demure, her biting tongue is the opposite. while she has been able to delay her debut for four years ( the earliest one can debut is 21), as the youngest yue, it was no longer tolerated for her to not be in society. not looking forward to her debut and season, gwen is going to try her best to stay unnoticed in terms of courting. though, maybe someone will change her mind.

Neighborhood: Masonboro

Would you be willing to have this secret used against them at some point in the future? Yes.

Biography

Layla Devika Saxena was born on August 15, 1991, in Cairo, Egypt, to her Indian parents, Vikram and Amira Saxena. Her father worked as a diplomatic officer, which led to Layla's unique birthplace and her Arabic first name. She grew up alongside her older brother, Raj, and younger sister, Priya. From a young age, she stood out from her siblings. While the duo were bookworms, her passion lay in the world of art—particularly in child modeling. At age six, the family moved to Wilmington. After their relocation, her parents encouraged her to pursue her interests. Luck was on her side because she quickly found success in the modeling industry—where she participated in numerous photo shoots and fashion shows, especially during the summer months. Her doe eyes and chubby cheeks, combined with her natural talent and charisma, made her a sought-after child model.

However, by the age of 11, she grew tired of the demanding schedule that came with modeling. She decided to focus on enjoying her childhood and participating in typical kid activities. In school, she discovered a love for sports and joined the track team and cheerleading squad. After graduating from high school—drawn by the glitz and glamor of the big city—Layla decided to go to college in New York City. She enrolled at New York University, where she initially studied business. During her sophomore year, she took a sports management course as an elective and found herself fascinated by the subject matter. She was particularly intrigued by the role of sports agents in representing and advocating for athletes. Recognizing her growing passion for the field, she decided to minor in sports management alongside her business major. Throughout her time at NYU, Layla sought out opportunities to gain hands-on experience in the sports industry. She secured internships with several prestigious sports agencies in Manhattan, working tirelessly to learn the ins and outs of the business. Her natural charm, strong communication skills, and keen eye for detail set her apart from other interns. Her supervisors recognized her potential and provided her with increasing responsibilities, allowing her to sit in on client meetings and assist with contract negotiations.

As her college career drew to a close, Layla's hard work and dedication paid off. She graduated from NYU with honors, earning a Bachelor's degree in Business with a minor in Sports Management. Her internship experiences and recommendations from her supervisors caught the attention of a top sports agency in the city, Apex Athletic Representation. They offered her a position as a junior agent, and she accepted the opportunity to launch her career in the competitive world of sports representation. In her role as a junior agent, she quickly made a name for herself. Her ability to connect with clients, understand their unique needs and aspirations, and fight tirelessly on their behalf earned her a loyal following among the athletes she represented. She had a knack for identifying up-and-coming talent and helping them secure lucrative contracts and endorsement deals. As her reputation grew, she began working with some of the biggest names in the sports world— negotiating record-breaking deals and ensuring her clients received the best possible representation.

As her career progressed, Layla's personal life also flourished. She met and fell in love with a fellow sports agent named Matthew. The couple dated for several years and eventually got engaged. However, just two years ago, she discovered that Matthew had been unfaithful to her. Devastated by the betrayal, she made the difficult decision to end the engagement. For that reason, she moved back to Wilmington. Despite the personal setback, she remained focused on her career. She continued to work hard, earning a reputation as one of the most promising young sports agents in the industry.

tl;dr

Layla Devika Saxena was born in Cairo to Indian parents, discovered her passion for child modeling at a young age. After moving to Wilmington, she found success in the industry but later shifted her focus to sports and academics. She attended NYU, studying business and sports management, and interned at prestigious sports agencies. After graduation, she joined Apex Athletic Representation as a junior agent, quickly making a name for herself by representing top athletes and negotiating record-breaking deals. Despite a personal setback when her fiancé was unfaithful, Layla remained focused on her career and moved back to Wilmington two years ago, continuing to be a promising young sports agent.
