AN INTRODUCTION:

⸻ hey, is that JESSICA CHASTAIN i saw going for a walk in THE MEADOW? no, it’s just ELIANA SAINT MLEUX, a FORTY-FIVE year old PSYCHIATRIST from TACOMA, WASHINGTON.  SHE identifies as CIS WOMAN and UNDEFINED. they seem +INTUITIVE and -SECRETIVE, always reminding me of anxious smiles, haunted eyes, and cuticles torn from too much fretting. they’re most frequently seen at THE SALTY GOAT going on about BOATS BECAUSE HER DREAM WHEN SHE RETIRES IS TO SAIL THE WORLD and that’s okay because it’s been their thing for 43 YEARS. you’re going to love them!

trigger warnings: murder, prescription medication abuse

at just 12 years old, in the height of some of the most intense drama for any grown adult to face, eliana had been forced to start her life completely over.

her father had been on trial for serial murder and she was the key witness to have sealed his fate. not only had she found his box of victim mementos in the back of her parents closet, she also saw him coming home through the woods with a shovel more than once.

the harassment her family faced during his trial had been so traumatizing that her mother moved her and her sister away to california with a new name. they'd gone from being a serres to a saint mleux.

with her father serving consecutive life sentences her youth was plagued with guilt. eliana felt responsible for tearing her family's lives apart.

when she went to university she studied psychology with the goal of becoming a therapist. she wanted to help people, and maybe understand why people do the things they do.

her past was never truly far away, it haunted her, and with a prescription pad in her desk she began to dose herself and it eventually spiraled out of control becoming an addiction.

the only serious relationship eliana ever had was a sham. they'd met in a hospital parking lot and he was in the medical profession. their relationship moved fast and only a year later they were engaged.

it was only after she'd bought them a home and was putting the final touches on their wedding planning that eliana found out that he had only sought her out due to curiosity as his sibling had been a victim of her father's. eliana broke off the engagement.

with him being the first and only person she opened up to about her past, who her father was, and what she had done eliana went into a dark place emotionally and mentally.

eventually her family intervened and eliana went to rehab for her addiction before she completely destroyed her career. she's been clean since but struggles with it and the weight of the past. especially with her father working on appeals and reaching out to her.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

Ex-fiancé — This connection is integral to her past and likely future development. He was the first and only man she's allowed into her life in any way. While still closed off from the darkest secrets she was looking forward to a life ahead with him. Now with their engagement over and her having freshly moved out of the house she'd bought for them I'm keen for the development from that point on.

Sibling — Eliana's younger sibling would be a great connection in the vein of her having to confront the past. Plus, I could see tension between them given how they might have felt of what had happened to their family. This is something I'd love work through with her.

Sponsor — Since becoming clean of her prescription drug abuse I would really love to have someone there that she can reach out to, lean on, and gain support from during this time as she continues to deal with her life and function without the aide of drugs.

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋

name: zayden hassani.

nicnames: zay, hassani.

age: thirty5.

dob: august 08.

hometown: manhattan, new york.

time in coyote valley: one week.

neighborhood: downtown.

occupation: currently unemployed.

𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋

height: 6 foot, 5 inches.

build: athletic.

hair color: black.

eye color: dark brown.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 ( tw: infidelity, tw: parental death )

zayden was born and raised in manhattan to a loving mother and a successful business man. for as long as he can remember, image has been everything. he's always been subject to his father's harsh expectations, expectations that the older hassani man has sworn were for zayden's own wellbeing. his mother, on the other hand, was much more gentle in her guidance.

his father created a public relations firm, one that quickly soared in popularity. he remembers his father working a lot as a child, a blessing to the young boy who just wanted to be a kid.

as he got older, the pressure around him grew. there was never any question about what zayden would do with his life — his father had already made that decision for him. he graduated from new york university with a bachelor's in business and political economy before he continued his education and obtained a masters in public relations.

during those years, he met a woman and fell madly in love. his mother was loving and supporting of the union, but his father never quite voiced his approval on the matter. for the next five years, zayden felt the only future he'd ever known slipping from his grasp. on one hand, he was happier than he'd ever known, and on the other hand, he saw his rightful spot on the throne being slowly pulled away from him.

after four years into the marriage, his father finally spoke of his frustrations during a late night at the firm. he spoke of an arrangement, one that would require zayden to step away from his marriage and into the arms of another. at the time, it was ludicrous, but the longer he thought on the matter, the more he realized it was the only way he'd inherit the company.

so, one night after a small gathering of the company's biggest clients, zayden did something to secure his place in the future of hassani & company. after, he went home to wash off the woman he'd made a show of leaving with, earning himself a gold star in his father's book.

he carried that guilt with him until his fifth anniversary. it was that night that he confessed to everything and painted a picture that was far worse than reality. he claimed to love the other woman, confessed to things that stretched so far from the truth, but he sold every word like the perfect package.

it took him nearly a month to return to the office, his pride left in the apartment they'd shared, his heart somewhere with her. he went through the motions, hoping that one day he'd find a hint of happiness again.

when he got the call that his father had passed, zayden felt nothing but relief. he'd been on the edge of quitting, uncaring if he lost what little he had left. instead, the company fell into his lap and so did the responsibility of keeping it afloat.

with that power, zayden opted to sell. he met with a few interested buyer's and when the number of zeros looked good enough, he sold, with the agreement that a percentage of annual profits would go to him. it was a fool-proof way to ensure the flow of funds never ceased, but it allowed him an out.

without the company or his father weighing him down, zayden has decided to live for himself, whoever that he is. he's come to coyote valley for @xmarlboronights and hopes to make amends, or that she'll at least give him the chance to explain himself and apologize for his selfish ways.

𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒

he lives in a one bedroom apartment in the downtown area. he chose the area because he hoped for some semblance of chaos to remind him of the city. he hired professional movers to move some of his belongings across the country. he has a very minimalistic style, but the cost of his living room furniture alone is probably more than the average person makes in three months.

he's an okay cook, but there's a seventy-five percent chance he's going to set off the fire alarm in his building at least twice in the first month of him living there.

he drives a 2025 bmw m850i xdrive coupe. it has less than a thousand miles on it because he had little use for it back in new york.

𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒

likes: art, espresso, expensive things.

dislikes: being wrong, cheaply made items, clutter, conflict.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

next door neighbor: this would be someone that shares a wall with him. he's a bit of an annoying wall-mate. he's used to living in the city with no real neighbors to bother, so he listens to music a little too loud at the most inconvenient times of the day. he also goes for early morning runs and late night workouts, and he isn't always quiet upon exiting and entering his space. maybe these two have a run-in or your muse comes knocking one night or early morning that he's being obnoxiously loud. — open.

familiar stranger: someone that keeps up with big news and read about hassani & company, a big public relations firm in new york city that has recently been sold off. maybe zayden's picture was attached to the article and they recognize him? — open.

new york(er): this could be someone that visited once and they had a run in years ago, or someone that spent some time there and they got to know one another on a deeper level, only to lose touch for one reason or another. — open.

THE ONLY TRUE WISDOM IS IN KNOWING YOU KNOW NOTHING.

𝐆𝐄𝐍𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐋

name: nicolás espinoza.

nicnames: nic, the handyman.

age: forty5.

dob: november 01.

hometown: amarillo, texas.

time in coyote valley: twenty years this october.

neighborhood: echo hills.

occupation: carpenter, resident mr. fix it.

𝐏𝐇𝐘𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐋

height: 6 foot.

build: athletic.

hair color: dark brown with grey peppered in.

eye color: dark brown.

notable injuries/scars: nic wrecked his back twenty years ago in a bull riding incident. an emergency surgery repaired the damage dealt, but it's been a struggle for him over the years. he does have a long scar down his spine. he also has too many scars to count on his hands from years of work.

𝐃𝐄𝐓𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐒 ( tw: injury )

born and raised in amarillo, texas. it was the place he'd imagined being his whole damn life, but his fears pushed him out and into world past the texas state line.

at the age of twenty5, nic was involved in a bull riding accident that doctors could barely wrap their heads around. nine hours and some titanium rods later, he was left with the realization that life was never going to be the same. he'd never ride again and as far as the doctors were concerned, he would be considered lucky if he could ever walk again.

but, as stubborn as he was, nic couldn't accept that. either fact. he had never really thought much of bull riding being a future, but when it was ripped away from him in an instant, that stung. so much that he let his pride get the best of him and ran when all anyone ever wanted to do was help.

he ran until he couldn't anymore, financially, at least. he stopped in coyote valley with the idea of making some cash, enough to save up for his next run. except he never left. he settled down, put in the time to obtain a license to formally to do the work he'd been doing under the table, and made a home for himself.

𝐐𝐔𝐈𝐂𝐊 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒

he's one hell of a cook. he loves trying out new recipes. when he pulls out his lunch on any job, there's a ninety percent chance it's something he's made.

he's recently gotten into literature. prefers the classics, but will take on some recs if he knows the person, or believes they have even the slightest clue what they're talking about.

he has an iphone 8. it's old, it's beaten to hell, but it still works... mostly. he likes the home button and has refused to upgrade. it gets the job done, which is more than enough for him.

he has a two bedroom house in the echo hills area. he bought a fixer upper and for the past fifteen years, he's been doing just that. he's completely redone the whole place and has added onto it as well. it has a wrap around porch and a couple of rocking chairs he built himself.

he has an outdoor cat. well, it's not really his. he tried to keep it inside once and it nearly clawed through the walls trying to find it's way back outside. he makes sure there's fresh food and water out for it daily. he assumes that's why it continues to come by, but hell if he knows.

𝐄𝐗𝐓𝐑𝐀𝐒

likes: black coffee, classic rock, working with his hands, the moon, hardwood floors, thunderstorms, animals.

dislikes: airplanes, carpet, crowded spaces, technology.

𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒

helping hand: this is someone that has helped him on a few projects in the past and that has taken an interest in carpentry or something of the sort. he probably calls on them when he needs an extra set of hands on a job. this comes with a good friendship which can be plotted out further. — open.

neighbor: someone that's in the echo hills. we can discuss how they formally met, but i do imagine that nic has offered his services, free of charge, in exchange for something trivial. — open.

ex-something, maybe nothing?: they met at the corner pocket some years ago. one thing led to another and they ended up sleeping together. after that, they spent time together on and off, sometimes friendly, sometimes a little more than friendly, but it never quite went further than that. nic thought he was too old for labels, but it had more to do with fear than not. — eliana saint mleux.

⸻  hey, is that GRATIELA BRANCUSI i saw going for a walk in SIERRA SPRINGS? no, it’s just ATHALIA KOTZUR SIDERIS, a FORTY year old OWNER OF CLOCKTOWER RECORDS/FORMER HISTORY PROFESSOR from ATHENS, GREECE.  SHE identifies as CIS WOMAN and BISEXUAL. they seem +CALM and -BLUNT, always reminding me of an old stack of vinyl records. they’re most frequently seen at WILDFLOWER RIDGE RESERVE going on about HIKING and that’s okay because it’s been their thing for FIFTEEN YEARS. you’re going to love them!

the only child of a woman abandoned by her partner, athalia never knew her father or any other relatives.

her mom moved them to california when she was barely one, settling at coyote valley, where she got a job as a nurse.

athalia spent most days at daycare or over at the neighbors, as her mom struggled to make ends meet, forcing the little girl to mature earlier.

at fourteen she was already taking part-time jobs to help at home and planning the future at college, for a degree i history, which she got into it two years later.

mid-way though her graduation, athalia got the news of her mother's diagnosis, lung cancer, stage four. it could've been caught earlier, maybe treated if she didn't need to work so much.

thought the rest of her college years she took care of her mother, that sadly did not get to see athalia graduate.

working as a professor, she chose to pour herself into the career, eventually gaetting a masters in greek and roman history.

she had a long-lasting relationship and even got engaged, but things were called off, mostly due to thalia's hesitation.

around a year ago, she quite the job as a professor and bought clocktower records, in the hopes of having a more lax schedule.

personality: sweet and caring, athalia is a soft creature, used to spending time amidst nature or too many books. considered intelligent by many, she is passionate about many things, most of them lost in time. can come off as blunt, but is ultimately a loyal woman, even if withdrawn.

random facts: has a collection of old and rare books, some even are first editions. / travels to greece once a year and is passionate about the country, although her ties to it have been severed early on. / her mother was romani and passed on some knowledge of their people to athalia. / it's well versed in latin, but speaks fluent english, greek, arabic and french. / has a bit fear of heights. / can play the piano and guitar, but rarely gets the opportunity to do so.

hey, is that RACHEL WEISZ i saw going for a walk in THE MEADOW? no, it’s just LENA COHEN, a FIFTY year old ARCHITECT from DENVER, CO.  SHE identifies as CIS-GENDERED and LESBIAN. they seem +PASSIONATE and -CLOSED OFF, always reminding me of the tight grip of self control and the fleeting joy of a moment when it doesn’t seem so dire to lose it. they’re most frequently seen at STAX WINE BAR AND BISTRO going on about ART and that’s okay because it’s been their thing for FIFTEEN YEARS. you’re going to love them! ( sun ) trigger warnings: emotional neglect, mental and verbal abuse, childhood abuse, homophobia, heteronormativity, cancer, parental issues (that feeling when you're glad your parent is dead)

lena's first love wasn't building things with her hands, though it was a close second; no, it was art. painting, to be more precise. she could remember the steadiness she felt having a paintbrush in hand, the feeling of complete and total serenity. since the age of fingerpainting, there was always something inside of her that urged her to create. she spent most days in school with her head buried in a sketchbook, though you’d never know it; her grades were always impeccable. there was talk of sending lena to a private institution to receive the best education when she excelled far past her peers in her fourth year of schooling, but lena had friends and an incredible art teacher who thought the world of her, so she dumbed herself down to match that of her peers, checking a wrong answer here and a wrong answer there to get by. really, she didn’t care about the schoolwork, just that her art teacher had complimented her on a job well done and asked her if she’d like her pieces to be in the display at the end of the year; lena was ecstatic… until she arrived home to find her report card in the hand’s of her father. 

the honorable judge elias cohen was a formidable figure in lena’s life. he never seemed to appreciate lena for who she was, and always demanded far more than lena could ever give. her mother wasn’t much better - the woman liked to drink and often neglected her duties when it came to parenting. she would spat unhelpful and malicious things to lena, especially as a child when lena was being too loud or had just annoyed her. lena eventually stopped going to her for things, and instead took up mantle beside the staff employed at the grounds of the estate lena grew up in. her brother had much more luck with their parents than lena herself. they seemed to dote on the boy, a fact that made lena so mad that she wanted to rush off in rages - she did not, for she knew the consequences of these actions. 

her girlhood had left in a flurry of movement, leaving lena behind to catch up. as a teen, lena had her own social circle that she kept up with. popular and well-rounded, she took up extra tutors to fill her time outside of school; painting and piano were her favorites. when she wasn’t socializing or tending to one of her numerous hobbies, she was building up a defence for the times she spent long looks lingering on her best friend, who lena was madly in love with for the majority of her teenage years. lena knew that it wasn’t to be accepted, she knew her parents stance on anything having to do with lesbianism or gayness. so, she kept that huge part of herself a secret for many years. 

adulthood came without warning, and lena was thrust into the life of university. and instead of going for her passion in art, lena made a conscious effort to become involved with a safety option; architecture school. ivy league was tough but lena had never had a problem with keeping up under pressure - particularly, academic pressure. pressure from outside sources to find a suitable male to befriend and date made her hackles rise but she had little choice; if she didn’t do this, it would only make the questions grow. so, she went through a series of boyfriends, not sticking to any for a terribly long time, until she met mark. mark was like her, in a lot of ways, and they complimented each other where they were different. if she were to marry someone that wasn’t a woman, then it would have been mark. but it took him a long while to pop the question, and lena didn’t mind when his eye and his hands wandered; so long as he was occupied, she did not have to give herself to him. 

her father fell sick in lena’s fortieth year - cancer. lena’s mother wasn’t in the position to care for him, so lena moved back home. mark let her go without protest on the grounds that their relationship would continue when she got back, and she had little to say in the matter. when her father passed, lena felt relief. that pressure that she’d felt for being watched all of her life had never ceased until his passing, but lena said nothing to anyone about how she felt. she faked her grief and allowed herself to envision a future in which she didn’t have to hide any longer. she came out shortly thereafter and dumped mark, ending the engagement that they had agreed upon. moving to coyote valley had not been her plan - coyote valley had been a stop along the way to opening her own architecture firm - but she fell in love with the area. she’s left a string of broken hearts since arriving, but what’s a little fun when you haven’t had any in so long?

BULLET POINTS

tw: drug use, abuse, death mention

he was born and raised in hermosa beach in a broken home filled with anger, pain and addiction. the eldest of two, he vowed the moment his younger sibling was born to do everything in his will to protect his sibling and his mother from the darkness of the world and most importantly, his father. when robert warren walked out of their lives when alex was 14 after years of torment and the family moved to coyote valley, alycia's hometown, alexander truly believed life was finally letting them become the family he so desperately wanted.

he spent the upcoming years working tirelessly to get through high school and taking care of his family as best as he could until the time to think about university arrived. with the encouragement of his family (and promises to work even harder to one day bring them along with him) alexander moved to new york city upon graduation after being accepted into nyu in their criminal justice department with a scholarship. alexander worked tirelessly for months, working two to three jobs to make arrangements for his family to move to new york with him only to lose his mother a year and ten months after he moved to new york due to an overdose. filled with grief and a sense of responsibility he took care of his younger sibling.

upon graduation from university alexander moved to virginia as he started the quantico program to become a federal agent. for two years he lived between virgina, ny and california until he was ultimately enlisted in the fbi and assigned permanently to new york. for three years he dedicated himself entirely to a job he grew to abhor and resent until the day he suffered an accident on the job that nearly took his life. nearly dying changed his perspective on life and although he knew he had a promising career as a federal agent, alexander quit.

taking his time as he tried to figure out his next step alexander took up on a lost love of his: creative writing. he began writing about cases he had worked on, cases he'd heard of and ultimately wrote a book based off a fictional criminal case he had made up. a close friend of his read the book and encouraged him to publish it and after months and months of working odd jobs in new york to get by and editing in his spare time, he self published his first novel at age 25 and seven months. it became a moderate success (a rare occurrence for a self-publishing book) and ended up creating a publishing company with the friend who encouraged him to publish his book. his second novel came a little less than a year later, the first of the publishing company and proved a slightly bigger success than the first one.

with a new life purpose alexander decided to move back to coyote valley at age 26, seeking to spend time with his family and to settle down, finding inspiration upon his arrival to write at the very least three new books in a span of a year, choosing to map them out for a twice a year release while using the remaining time to write and enjoy at last having some time for himself after years of feeling like he was running out of time.

then, she came. athalia kotzur sideris came back to his life to turn it upside down. two ships in a passing in the night on their teen years, the two found a way to find eachother now as mature young adults and began a love story for the ages. alexander felt like he had everything he had ever wanted in life and when athalia agreed on marrying him when he proposed, he knew that was the happiest day of his existence. everything came crumbling down however (as if often does) when, after two years of engagement, the couple broke off their engagement and the relationship altogether when they discovered the life they had figure out for themselves simply didn't match and the two (four, with their two dogs pollux and castor and were too separated from eachother) parted ways.

he used his newlyfound heartache to write more and with 7 published novels under his belt, one on the way more personal than the rest and a flourishing publishing company, alexander decided it was time to search for that missing piece in the puzzle he had yearned for since he was a child: a family. he took every course and class he could find for months on end and ultimately registered to become a foster parent. jack and mia arrived to alexander's life to put it upside down. it wasn't easy at the beginning; learning new rules that came with becoming a parent of two children with a sensitive background such as his made it hard to connect with them at first but with enough patience and love, the four of them became the family all of them had needed all their lives. now, with a year passed since they first found eachtoehr, alexander is seeking to formally adopt them as his own.

»» ⸻ DIGGING A LITTLE DEEPER

Trigger warnings: brief mention of infidelity

Growing up in Coyote Valley, a small town in California, Camila never quite felt like she belonged. In her chest beat a heart that felt as though she were meant for more than the view offered to her. Sure, it was beautiful, but as she grew up she worried over what she could amount to in a small town. As much as she loved and adored her parents, appreciated everything they provided for her, she needed more than their legacy.

What didn’t help matters in terms of belonging was that Camila was sent to live abroad for a year with an aunt in Italy. It was a stunning experience once she'd been able to get over the culture shock, and the bullying she faced being a foreigner in high school. The fact that she knew her parents had been well meaning had saved Cami from holding the whole experience against them. She made it through a school year and learned quite a lot. Such as a new language.

It was her love for literature and books that got Camila through university. For a long time her dream had been to become an author but it was an internship while living in New York working at one of the top publishing houses in the city that she found a new path in life. Post grad she worked her way up in the industry. An achievement Camila was proud of but one that nearly wouldn’t last when a life altering heartbreak forced her to change courses in life.

While in university in New York she’d met the man that would become her husband. They fell in love quickly but didn’t rush to marriage until after graduating. When they had taken their vows and bought a brownstone together Camila thought she was going to have everything. That children were to come next.

Instead, five years later into her marriage it all came to a devastating end. Camila and her husband were on a two month celebration of their fifth anniversary, traveling around the world, and just two weeks shy of making it back home together he left her. When she got up that morning she had written him a love note and left it on her pillow beside his as he still slept, expressing how happy she was waking up that morning of their anniversary before she went for her usual morning run. When Camila returned, he was fully dressed and his bags were packed. He had been sitting writing a note but instead stood up and confessed to her that he’d had an affair and was leaving her.

Unsurprisingly, Camila fell into a bad relationship with a kind man she had met on her flight home. The stranger had taken up the vacant seat that would’ve and should’ve been her husband’s but they talked the entire flight home. She never mentioned her grief or what she was reeling from at the time but they kept in touch and he unfortunately became the rebound, a man that helped her get back onto her feet and pursue her life for real. They nearly got married and even looked into having a child together but always during a fight he would point out that it seemed she had one foot out the door. It took Camila a long time to realize that he was right.

The whole ordeal, divorce and rebound, had dried her up and Camila couldn't return to the former life she'd had and instead of getting back to work as a publisher, she took the recommendation of someone in the industry and sought out starting her own podcast. No longer on her publisher salary and no longer married she couldn't afford the brownstone on her own so Cami moved back home to Coyote Valley.

Already popular on social media for her bookstram and booktok along with her vlogging that had blown up it was easy for her to get the word out on her first podcast: Diary of a Sinner, and thanks to the nature of it the podcast became a big hit. When she'd moved back to her hometown she took a chance, still in touch with her former industry, and started a second podcast, which thanks to her following and the guests she's able to have on her show, also became a hit.

Reinvention requires both a kind of death and a desire to keep living. And so at its core, reinvention is inextricably linked to hope: the hope that we can find another way, take another shape.

AN INTRODUCTION:

⸻ hey, is that EIZA GONZALEZ i saw going for a walk in SIERRA SPRINGS? no, it’s just SAMANTA “SAMMIE” SALAZAR, a THIRTY-FOUR year old OWNER OF REBEL INK & TATTOO ARTIST from SANTA ANA, MEXICO.  SHE identifies as CIS WOMAN and BISEXUAL. they seem +CHARISMATIC and -HEDONISTIC, always reminding me of the charged air of an impending thunderstorm. they’re most frequently seen at MINE SHAFT going on about ALL THE PLACES SHE’S BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO TRAVEL TO and that’s okay because it’s been their thing for 5 YEARS. you’re going to love them!

trigger warnings: drug use & selling

samanta was born in mexico and when she was just a baby her mother answered an ad she saw for an agency looking for cute babies that could model clothing for catalogues/adverts.

it spun out of control from there with the photographer enjoying how easy going and smiley she was and requesting/recommending her for other jobs along with her mother seeking out more opportunities.

as a toddler she got her first acting gig in a made for tv movie in mexico and it led to another. eventually she was on sitcoms and nickelodeon shows.

when she was only 5 years old the family moved to los angeles, at the pushing of her mother, so that sammie could have bigger opportunities even though she'd been gaining fame and a reputation in mexico.

from there her career only continued to climb and sammie eventually became a bonafide child star. she co-starred along with some hollywood giants and also headlined her own films.

not having a childhood and always working began to really take it's toll on sammie and as a teenager she began to rebel. she had her own money even some of her own power as people didn't say no to her much and that was when trouble started.

she often hung out with a crowd a bit too old for her and was offered alcohol and substances that her parents and family couldn't fully protect her from. but she got to a point where she really began to hate and resent all the fakeness. it was hard for her to look around at everyone that surrounded her and not know who was real and who wasn't.

out of spite sammie sold fake drugs to her hollywood friends. then she'd watch them pretend to be messed up on them and ridicule them for it. this scheme turned out to be the biggest scandal of her life as she was arrested, put on trial, and did some years in prison for these actions.

even though prison is a whole different world in itself she found it to be more real than hollywood and appreciated the hardknocks of life behind bars rather than be surrounded by yes people that did not have her best interests at heart.

in prison she learned how to tattoo. she was already a pretty talented artist but for the first time she got to let her own interests and talents flourish.

when she was released sammie moved as far away from hollywood as she could and found a place in coyote valley. she took up rebel ink and hasn't looked back since. not at her family, not at her career, and definitely not at any former lovers.

POTENTIAL CONNECTIONS:

THE EX-PARTNER: they said they'd wait for her but ended up cheating on her while she was in prison. they used her for clout, to be close to her name and status, as well as her money. by then sammie was used to being used and had expected that the relationship would come to an end when she was no longer a mealticket or relevant. she just expected that they'd be honorable about it. which, jokes on her for that, right? the problem was this person was sammie's first love and she had and maybe still has a soft spot for them.

LA FAMILIA: would love to have any of her siblings in play. maybe they're looking to break into the hollywood business or maybe they just need money. their interest could also be so much more genuine where now that they are adults they want to build a relationship with sammie. maybe they feel bad for how the family treated her like a cash cow? either way these are connections that would be fundamental and that i would love to explore.

STARS BRIGHT: anyone else in show business that sammie could've crossed paths with during her career. they're likely nothing more than acquaintances as she definitely wants distance with that sicko world. unless... you wanna bring me one of her former costars or fellow child stars who went through all the mess with her..

ADVENTURE / BEACH BABIES: two things she loves is to travel and to spend time at the beach. would love some close friends that she could enjoy either or both with. imagine sammie showing up at their door with the car gassed up and a roadmap in her hand — its a weekend out on the road just experiencing life.

CLIENTELE: anyone that sammie has done work for since opening up rebel ink in the last 5 years. whether she inked some design they brought in or they have one of her original pieces on them this would be super cool. i imagine she's pretty close with those she does frequent work or more than one piece on.

biography: 

born into a large, multi-racial family, gabriela flores grew up surrounded by endless love, for both those around her and the many cultures she had been born into. her family showed her what endless love was at an early age, so while she felt like she struggled to be "enough" at school and around her peers, she never felt like she was anything other than perfect at home.

from an early age, the flores family learned that gabi was a bit of a wild child. she was impulsive, adventurous, and outspoken — qualities her family hadn't experienced all rolled into one person before. what started as her running around getting into regular little kid trouble quickly turned into her getting into fights, and by high school, she was even teetering on the line of breaking laws. she never crossed that line (or she didn't get caught, anyway), but her parents tried to buckle her down as much as they could. she was succeeding academically, and they thought if she could find a hobby, maybe she could be tamed a little bit. they had her test out a few different sports before softball stuck, and for a while, the trick worked. she carried her high school's team to their first national championship, which they won, and she even earned herself a scholarship in the process.

life at the university of texas @ san antonio was kind of a whirlwind for gabi. it was where she realized that she's attracted to both men and women, which she all but explored almost too much. tying her down seemed hopeless yet many suitors tried, only to end up heartbroken in the end as she moved on to the next. her family didn't agree with her lifestyle, however, so their relationship started to fracture, much to her dismay, but she wasn't going to change for anyone. softball was going well, she had a plethora of friends, and she was thriving for what felt like the first time in her life. she'd started working at bars around the city to bring in some extra bucks, and once again, she found herself falling back into trouble.

(tw: self defense, physical assault) in the midst of bar fights and getting entangled with the wrong crowds, gabi found herself crossing paths with a man who would change her life tremendously. she doesn't even remember how it started really: they shared a drink at a bar, ended up in bed together, and then it just was what it was. it was easy, and they were only attached to the warmth of feeling the other's skin on their own, but it was something. what she didn't know was that he was into some super shady shit. he kept it hidden for a bit, but it rose to the surface when someone he was in debt to came after gabi as payback. the gentleman accosted her one night after a shift at a bar, and never one to back down, gabi defended herself and put the stranger in the hospital. after the police cleared her of any wrongdoing, gabi realized that she needed to get out of texas altogether, so she packed her bags and hit the road.

while driving towards silicone valley, a need for gas and food caused her to stop in coyote valley. she had never even heard of it before, but now that she was here, there was something about it that just felt like the right place to put down roots and start over, so that's what she did. with her business degree and what savings she'd accrued over the years, gabi opened up mine shaft, her own little piece of what was home before, and what she considers home now.

wanted connections:

flings, exes, etc - pretty generic and basic, but open to any and all things romantic, past or present

regulars or employees @ mine shaft - also rather generic but gabi would pride herself on getting to know those who frequent the place often

neighbors, friends, etc - no connection can be too big or too small, i'm open to whatever your sweet little hearts desire

✦ — BACKGROUND

♔ ——  Society says that girls can’t be pretty, smart, and funny all at once. Hailey completely missed that memo. and not exactly in a girl power kind of way, more of an i’m better than everybody else kind of way. So Hailey had an ego. So what? it’s true: she is pretty. she is smart. she is funny. her confidence in her god-given gifts grated some people, of course. but she was a magnetic force, whether you liked her or not.

♔ —— Hailey is a tough girl who knows what she wants and how to get it.

♔ ——  Hailey had a normal childhood. she was raised by his parents in Austin, Texas.

♔ ——  Hailey can be described as “a girl that always gets her way, referring to how she tends get what she wants easier than other people might. Hailey does have a dark side like everyone does. Hailey is a bit of wild child and a rebel.

♔ —— She can be an emotional rollercoaster when it comes to her state of mind depending on the situation.

♔ —— Hailey can be a bit fragile when it comes opening up to anyone emotionally or otherwise.

♔ —— Hailey is a hopeless romantic but when she finds someone attractive she goes after what she wants with no hesitation whatsoever.

♔ —— Hailey is very much a mess of contradictions. she loves the feeling of being wanted, but at the same time worries that people are looking at her for the wrong reasons. She loves the person she’s becoming, but deep down, she can’t quite overcome the self-hatred that has been ingrained in her.  She’s caught between who she really is and who she wants to be, and sometimes she gets a little lost in the midst of it. On the outside, however, Hailey's is outspoken and opinionated. She won’t hesitate to tell you how she’s feeling, positive or negative. She’s fiercely protective of her friends, and extremely loyal. She’s passionate, fiery, and headstrong. those who really know her, however, might catch glimpses of her more vulnerable side. She treats those she holds dear like absolute gold and would go to the ends of the earth for them. On the flip side of that, though, she holds a grudge like no other, and finds  it hard to forgive those who have wronged her.

age: 48.

gender & pronouns: cis man & he/him.

occupation: golf course superintendent at alta sierra country club.

neighborhood: echo hills.

BULLET POINTS:

triggers: injuries

russ never thought he'd end up anywhere other than pasadena. born and raised there, he had a pretty normal childhood. he really took an interest in golfing, and begin playing and caddying once he was old enough. it was the one constant in his life. russ wanted to make it big. he even went to college and golfed for a division one school.

right before he went pro, he ended up tearing his rotator cuff and developing achilles tendinitis from years of use. going back home with nothing but a degree and sadness, he had to figure out what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. there was no back up plan.

so he distracted himself. he went to coyote valley to bring brianna back home. maybe there'd be one happy ending and he could reunite the family. instead, he made himself at home. it was better to run away from his feelings and the shame that he felt at home.

he ended up getting a job at the country club, and twenty years later, he's still there, making sure the golf course is up to par. at least he still has golf in his life.

he still sometimes thinks about what could've been if he didn't get hurt, but when that happens, he grabs a cigarette or a beer. conceal don't feel.

WANTED CONNECTIONS:

members of the country club - probably runs into them

drinking or smoking buddy - he isn't an alcoholic but he does have his vices and definitely uses them

ex fwbs - they were probably getting a little too close for comfort so russ broke it off

Scotty Nathaniel Sanchez was born on July 31st back in 1974, to two young teens. Peter and Gina Sanchez had met and fallen in love during their freshman year of high school. However, they had fallen within the wrong crowd and became addicted to both drugs and alcohol.

During their Junior year of high school, both at their lowest point, Gina had surprised Peter by telling him she was pregnant with their first and only child. It was Gina’s choice to go along with the pregnancy, she didn’t want to become a mother but the young woman decided that maybe it was time to get a fresh start. In the beginning of her pregnancy, Gina and Peter were doing really well. The two stopped hanging out with the wrong people, and started to get their lives together. Being only eighteen, it was tough to take on the kind of responsibility they were going too take on, but the two were doing it. Peter found a job as a mechanic, working on cars while getting his grades back up, while Gina found a job as full time nanny to a wonderful family.

The two had been doing really good, they were getting their life back on track to provide a happy, healthy and loving home for their first child. Sure Gina and Peter were terrified to become parents, but they were going to pull through. On that hot summer’s evening, that’s when the young couple had welcomed their first and only child. Together Peter and Gina had brought Scotty Nathaniel Sanchez into this World. He was their perfect little thing, and the moment Scotty was placed in Gina’s arms, that was her snap back into reality. That was the moment Peter and Gina realized that loving alcohol and drugs wasn’t worth it. So they both gave it up for good.

It was for the better that Peter and Gina gave up their old ways, in all honesty it had helped Scotty in the long run. He ended up having a good childhood, they worked hard and cherished him. They took care of him and provided him a happy and loving home. Growing up, Scotty got good grades in school and from an early age he knew what he wanted to do in life. He enjoyed sports, and was on the basketball and baseball team. The young kid was an active student and was always on honor roll. He enjoyed being on the Yearbook Committee during his freshman year of high school, and even ran for class president. To say he was pretty much the golden boy of his grade was an understatment.

Sure popularity was nice but it didn’t mean anything to him, his grades did however so he worked hard. He worked hard and had gotten accepted into Columbia University in New York City during his junior year. Senior year is where he had excelled the most. After graduating, it was that summer where he moved into his own apartment in New York to study at Columbia that changed his life for the better.

It was at Columbia University where his life began. At least, that’s what he thought. His life didn’t begin until he had met Alyssa Conway. She was just his type and Scotty fell in love with her. He fell head over heels the moment they met. The two dated for a few years, but then Scotty had finally got up the courage to ask her to marry him after they graduated. She had graduated from Columbia with a degree in English, while he ended up graduating from the Police Academy and becoming a Detective.

She of course said yes to his proposal, but you know the saying. First comes love, then comes marriage and—-, Scotty and Alyssa had welcomed Violet Grace Sanchez. The first eleven months of Violet’s life was perfect. A little right after her first birthday however, Alyssa was driving both her and Violet home from their Doctors appointment when a semi truck had hit her car and the two sadly passed on impact. It had destroyed Scotty, absolutely devastated him. Loosing not only the love of his life, but his daughter as well. Both Alyssa and Violet gone.

Scotty became cynical, hot-headed and a bit of a workaholic. Cracking case after case. Working hours on end, still being the Chief of Police. He decided to move to Coyote Valley, California and has been here for eleven years.
