WELCOME TO MONLEON:

FULL NAME: Rebecca Ayumi Fukunaga

OCCUPATION: Merrick Art Museum Curator

AGE & D.O.B.: 29 years old; November 15

RESIDENCE: Merrick Village

ORIGINALLY FROM: Tokyo, Japan

HOW LONG THEY’VE BEEN IN TOWN: On and off her whole life

BIOGRAPHY:

TW: cancer.

Rebecca has always existed in two distinctly different worlds - the warmth and all-Amrican ease of her mother’s native Florida, and the sleek, towering Tokyo skyline, where tradition moves in harmony with modernism. Her mother, Catherine, traveled to Japan as an adventurous youth, seeking to teach English to Japanese children. Blonde, foreign and chipper, Hideo Fukunaga drifted to her at the bar - a whirlwind romance, and a slightly controversial marriage, followed suit. Catherine and Hideo’s families could not understand either’s choice in partner (though both would warm, once grand children were born). Catherine, though terribly attached to her Merrick Village, agreed to reside in Tokyo; whilst Hideo loved his American bride, he would have Japanese children. Rebecca was born to great love, and bestowed her American-mantle of Rebecca in honor of her grandmother, who continues to waver between adoration of her grandchildren, and confusion over their existence. Rebecca has spent a majority of her life in Japan, spending summers and the occasional school term in her mother’s native Florida.

. The youngest of three - the first, her brother, left for America early, while her sister Megumi mainly rejected the West to remain in Japan. Her sister preferred to be Japanese- a difficulty, given their obvious biracial status. The kids were not entirely ostracised, attending an international school with a variety of students, but always suffered a degree of separation from peers and classmates. Rebecca distinguished herself at an early age for being two things: too emotional for her own good, and incredibly artistic.Rebecca grew up to symbolize the two worlds that had produced her - as her Japanese grandmother often said “Western name, Japanese face”. She learned how to play into the side of herself that was most palpable for who she was with - an all-American girl as best as she could, when back in Florida- and vice versa, in the company of Japanese.

Their older brother was always distant, but Rebecca and her sister share an unparalleled bond - their personalities perfectly compliment one another, and because there are few who understand the feeling of never truly belonging, no matter where you are. While Rebecca has always been reserved and traditional, her sister was bubbly, exhaustingly social and setting out from an early age, to have a family and children.

Rebecca excelled in school, finding herself most drawn to art and history. After finishing highschool, Rebecca came to the States for schooling, majoring in Art History at Barnard. She’d never lived in America for so long, or in a city so unlike her mother’s Florida town. For the first time, Rebecca found herself incredibly attracted to American life, even finding an All-American boyfriend to call her own. But she graduated, the boy she was with couldn’t bring her home to his white family, and American life became an improbable dream once more. She left for Europe, seeking her masters amongst the cobbled streets and of Paris.

Rebecca came back to Japan, home sick and eager to immerse herself in the old life she’d abandoned . She settled into adulthood easily, drifting to work at a museum, collecting friends and lovers. Life marched on, unexceptional, but pleasant, nonetheless. It was her namesake reaching out, which shook Rebecca from her coasting - pancreatic cancer, with a prognosis of two years (at best) left. Rebecca wanted her grandchildren to come home, if only for a little while, before she passed away. Rebecca’s brother remained distant in his California life, and her sister now married, feigned ignorance to any American relations.She hadn’t spent much time in Monleon since the summer before her senior year of highschool; her connections are sparse and feelings are still complicated by the scars of childhood memories. But filial piety and duty is ingrained in her core - whilst they do not share many features, beyond the curve of their ears and a name, Rebecca cannot deny the request to be by her grandmother’s side.

Boxes and suitcases still litter Rebecca’s new home - down the street from her ailing grandmother, who insists on independence but closeness - as she attempts to integrate into her new life. She drifts between delight in spending days by the water, bike riding on streets that feel like home, and sickness for Japan, where she knows her place, and the streets of Tokyo, like the back of her hand. The Merrick Art Museum happily hired Rebecca as it’s Chief curator - allotting her a position that allows her proximity to her truest love, art.

If Rebecca is deemed aloof, it is due to shyness - she’s always been deemed too sensitive, but it is the depth of her empathy, that led her back here. She maintains Japanese and American citizenship through a loophole, involving applying for your Japanese passport when you’re nineteen. But in two years, Rebecca will have to pick a passport - per Japanese law, you are either Japanese, or you forfeit your citizenship. Part of why she’s drifted back to the States, is to decide if American is worth her walk away from the place she’s treasured as home.

Genevieve Olivia “Evie” Rhodes | 30 | Publicist & Beauty Pageant Titleholder

(full bio | stats | pinterest board)

(trigger warning for depression and alcoholism)

She likely wouldn’t respond if you call her Genevieve

She’s an Aries, born April 7th 1990

Monleon native, her father is a lawyer from an old money family. She’s his second of three but you’d be mistaken to think she suffers from middle child syndrome. He also had three wives in total - the first one died, he divorced the second, and is still married to the third (third time’s the charm right?)

Evie was a bit of a firecracker growing up, always wanting to be the center of attention. She especially competed for her father’s affection against her stepmother Chelsea, and her younger half-sister Victoria. Evie’s mother remarried and moved to California when she was 14, with Evie’s father having full custody of her. Evie went to the University of Southern California for college, ended up graduating but also using her family connections to get ahead in showbiz.

Started doing beauty pageants when she graduated from college, ended up being Miss California USA 2014 and placed as the runner-up at the Miss USA competition that year. But Evie got the title when her predecessor was dethroned. Super convenient, right? Not like Evie had anything to do with it...

Went on to compete in Miss Universe but didn’t place, continued her career as a publicist once her reign as Miss USA was up. She returned to LA was living the high life: rubbing elbows with all the important people, encountering B-list celebrities, attending the fanciest parties. But fame has a way of taking its toll on your mental health, and Evie was no exception. The stress caused her to lose sleep and start drinking in order to pass the time, even though her career was taking off.

Three years ago, her therapist strongly advised that she leave LA, even temporarily. So Evie moved back to Monleon, into her father’s villa. She took some time to collect herself, but going from a star publicist and beauty queen to an unemployed and depressed has-been wasn’t how she pictured her life.

She has since been working in Tampa for a media house, and owns a townhouse in The Palacio. She’s been better since moving back, but still indulges in her vices: mostly alcohol and sex.

Obsessed with winning and proving people wrong, especially those who think she’s just a pretty face or a ‘poor little rich girl’.

Very much a morally grey character, she fights her way to the top and knows she has to step on some people to get there - she only feels bad about it sometimes.

I plan on submitting actual wanted connections for her siblings, but here’s a list of some basic ideas for others:

Friends/Acquaintances - Evie has lived in Monleon up until she was eighteen and returned three years ago. She came from a pretty well-off family

Exes - Refer to above timeline, I don’t think that Evie was ever one for serious relationships but she could’ve dated a few people - whether in high school or within the past 3 years. These also don’t have to be people Evie was in a relationship with either, they could be hookups, former FWBs, one night stands etc. Evie is bisexual, so your muse’s gender doesn’t matter at all.

Frenemies/Enemies - Evie is morally gray at best, so it makes sense that she would’ve crossed some people in her life.

Neighbors - Evie lives in a pretty nice townhouse in The Palacio.

Colleagues/Clients - Evie works as a publicist for a media house in Tampa Bay, so either people with whom she works, or other people in the industry. Additionally, if your character is a public figure of sorts, this could be another opportunity.

WELCOME TO MONLEON:

FULL NAME: Natalia Garcia

OCCUPATION: Fashion Designer & Social Media Influencer

AGE & D.O.B.: 28 & December 5, 1992

RESIDENCE: St. Rosemary’s District

ORIGINALLY FROM: Monleon, Florida

HOW LONG THEY’VE BEEN IN TOWN: Native

BIOGRAPHY:

TW: Death, Transphobia

Natalia Bella Garcia was born in Monleon, Florida to her proud Mexican-American parents, Alberto and Mariana. Her father had passed away when she was just a few months old, and she was raised by her single mother who worked as a maid in some of the wealthier neighbourhoods.

She was assigned male at birth, and most of her childhood had been spent questioning her gender identity. She had always known that there was something different about her, but it hadn’t been until high school did she allow herself to learn more about who she was.

Natalia had her high school English teacher - Mrs. Baker - to thank for that, as she had offered her the support and the resources she needed when Natalia had first confided in her teacher that she had been questioning her gender identity. It hadn’t been easy for Natalia to trust someone and come out to them, but she was certainly grateful that her teacher had only made her feel valid. While having this kind of support had certainly made things easier for Natalia, a part of her had wondered if her Roman Catholic family would be just as supportive.

Her mother was quite supportive of her when she had come out to her, but her extended family… not so much. Her grandparents, aunts and uncles shunned her for simply being who she was, and shamed her mother’s parenting for being supportive of her daughter. But her mother was willing to stand by her daughter’s side no matter what. Truth be told, Natalia knew that she was one of the lucky ones.

With their extended family now refusing to financially support them, Mariana was left to work twice as much in hopes of saving up for her daughter’s gender reassignment surgery. Feeling responsible for her mother’s financial dilemma, Natalia offered to help out with her mother’s work during the weekends; she had mastered the art of completing domestic tasks by the time she was ten, so it was no surprise that she was able to help her mother at a time like that.

It was around this time that Natalia had met Dr. Newman, a retired plastic surgeon whom her mother was working for. He was a childless man, and Natalia was able to offer him some company whenever she joined her mother at work. The man certainly seemed to appreciate that, as he had spent most of his days playing tennis with his friends at the country club. It was nice to be around someone who was young. He’d seen her as the grandchild he never had, and she’d seen him as the father figure she always wanted. Their bond was really like no other; she even addressed him as ‘abuelito.’

Dr. Newman had offered to pay for her reassignment surgery, which she had been rather hesitant to accept at first. But she was grateful for that, as she had always worried that she had caused a financial burden on her mother. Nevertheless, she proceeded with her transition the moment she turned 18, and she could not be happier to be in a place where she felt so loved and accepted by so many people in her life. Again, she was one of the lucky ones.

Upon Dr. Newman’s insistence, she enrolled at the University of Tampa to pursue her bachelor’s degree, with a major in Business and a minor in Women and Gender studies. When she was in her junior year, Dr. Newman passed away and it turned out that he had left his entire fortune to Natalia, as if the man hadn’t done enough for her and her mother.

With her newfound wealth, Natalia convinced her mother to finally retire and sent her off to live in her own villa in Mexico; mama sure deserved the vacation. Following her graduation, she interned with various Florida-based fashion designers before eventually launching her own online fashion company called ‘New & Bella’, where she creates and sells various items of clothing. Her brand is known to be size inclusive and locally sourced, and has been quite successful in the last two years.

Aside from being a fashion designer, she is also a social media influencer and trans rights activist who uses her platform to bring awareness about various social issues as well as promote local businesses.

Connection description:

Everything about this character is completely UTP.

They met briefly in Hawaii in March 2020. Lucia was there to speak to children in a organization she had started with her father, and his motives to be there are also completely UTP.

They would come together at night, when they were both in a bar and a few too many drinks in. They hit it off and danced the whole night (think that first Mr. and Mrs. Smith scene). She went back with him to his hotel and back to hers before the sun was up. They only ever caught each other’s first name, but it was not like they searched for the other after, it wasn’t love at first sight, they just had a very intense first encounter.

Three weeks later, Lucia finds out she’s pregnant, but she doesn’t really look for him, because she never really does things the way they’re supposed to be done, you know?

His motives to come to Monleon are yours entirely, maybe he’s a Monleon native and they never met, maybe he has been there for a long time, or is a newcomer? Thing is that Luce will be wide-eyed. Maya is 4 months old now, and she wont know if she trusts him enough to let him near her.

WELCOME TO MONLEON:

FULL NAME: Evren Mufty

OCCUPATION: Pilot

AGE & D.O.B.: 27 & May 11th.

RESIDENCE: Bougainvillea Park

ORIGINALLY FROM: Monleon, Florida

HOW LONG THEY’VE BEEN IN TOWN: Native

BIOGRAPHY:

TW: Drug use & Overdose

You know what they say about the difference between raising a son and a daughter? All you do with a daughter is just try to keep her from getting screwed. All you do with a son is try to keep him from screwing himself. When you’re a Mufty and the only boy there was always this high expectation for Evren. He was the youngest but when his Mother, Zehra became pregnant and found out she was indeed having a boy their family was finally complete. They had a real heir. See, the Mufty’s were immigrants who originated from Turkey . They wanted the best for themselves and their future offspring. Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune. And what better way to make their own young dreams come true then by living up to their potential. They built an empire of becoming one of the most prominent of luxury yacht dealers on the East Coast. Now, this didn’t come without some blood, sweat and tears but nothing in life comes easy and the struggles make the end result that more satisfying.

Growing up, Evren couldn’t not indulge with the activities that was bestowed upon him. He had the latest and greatest clothing. Whatever trends there were in he was the first one at his school that usually set the standard. The popularity followed him like a shadow. Though he embraced it willingly. Maybe a little too much. It was like he was a celebrity and that attention was ever so addicting. The Mufty’s knew that Evren was partaking in not so friendly activities: partying, returning home late, smelling like Marijuana, finding used condoms in his brand new Range Rover (even if he was only 16) which had become his sweet 16 birthday present. All of these signs were clear indicators of what the future might hold for the man and that was a slow fall from grace. But they kind of brushed it under the rug as regular teenage activities. To them – their innocence wasn’t much better while growing up. Living in Çinçin, the slums were highly dangerous for it’s residents . Their typical day of sight seeing in their city was another cross being put up in memorial of another young life that was lost. Both of them grew up poor and was a mere miracle that they didn’t become another statistic or another body in body bag. So, of course they wanted their children to experience the royalties of their hard work. That was what life was about correct? To give your children what you never had and more.

The weight of his ego was sure to push the crust of the earth toward a breaking point. His own breaking point which he would soon stumble upon from his party lifestyle. At 18 - Evren was partying with a much older crowd and with the mind set that you could hang with the big dogs was a feeling that the male was all too familiar with. One night he had pushed himself to his maximum and did line after line of Cocaine. He was continuously an attention seeker and with that the weapon of his inflated ego came into play, but in reality when he thought he was hot shit he was just being damn right self destructive. That night was his fall from grace and if it wasn’t for the sharp and fully trained staff at Monleon Memorial, it was most likely he would have died that night. He had gone into a full seizure and was literally foaming at the mouth. To this day, Evren doesn’t like to think of that event as it’s a hard pill to shallow. Understanding and coping with the fact that his parents had the possibility at their front door of potentially burying their son, that grief is still overwhelming to this day. Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. To him, he needed to alienate from a present notion that surrounded him. Evren was his own person and he wanted to live free from a set of standards he had to follow or that at least seemed to be surrounding him. The more a man has, the more he wants. Instead of filling a vacuum, it makes one. Which he would refuse to entertain after getting a second chance.

Fast forward to the present: He lives more of a basic lifestyle and honestly it has caused some tension in his families name. Evren no longer wants to be the heir of their business. Greed is a bottomless pit which exhausts the person in an endless effort to satisfy the need without ever reaching satisfaction. The man has quite an addictive personality, that still holds true to this day. But he has learned with maturity that he shouldn’t indulge in things and situations that would fuel those urges. Without them, he has cut the chord to it before it can even start to form. To say that Mr. Mufty was unimpressed would be a total understatement. But, the man still loves his son as Evren does too of course. You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them. No matter what choices they might choose. Nowadays, his roots however are still partially lingering. As he still loves the water. In the end, the ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. This lifestyle choice is far more humbling

WELCOME TO MONLEON:

FULL NAME: Madison Watts

OCCUPATION: Production Assistant at MX7 Production Studios

AGE & D.O.B.: 26 / October 13th 1994

RESIDENCE: South Poinsettia

ORIGINALLY FROM: Monleon, Florida

HOW LONG THEY’VE BEEN IN TOWN: Native

BIOGRAPHY:

TW: parental death, abortion

Madison was the third of four children born into the Watts family. And for the most part, you could class the Watts family as a pretty average one. Madison grew up in a mostly happy, and as you can imagine loud household. I suppose that’s one of the perks of having siblings. There was usually always someone around to go bother, or to bother you. With having two older siblings came the pressure of living up to the standard that had been set. Madison was aware of this pressure, but she wasn’t as concerned about it as her parents maybe wanted her to be.

That standard carried its way into Madison’s school life too. Teachers were aware of the Watts family name, and expected great things from Madison. It wasn’t that Madison didn’t do well at school. She would pass her classes, and get decent grades which meant to fell middle of the pack. Of course her parents were happy, or shall we say content, with this average result. It didn’t stop the reminders of being like her siblings, and to just study harder and “apply herself”. Madison would often grow tired of hearing the same speech over and over again. By the time Madison was in high school, it got the point where she would started to walk away from the conversation having heard enough. At the end of the day, in Madison’s eyes, she wasn’t failing any of her classes and was getting good enough grades that would help her in the future. What was so wrong with that?

When she was 16, Madison got a bit of a shock to her system when her mother died in a car accident. Madison didn’t find out straight away. Her father waited until she came home after spending the night at a friends house. And, of course, Madison didn’t want to believe it. To top things off, Madison felt even worse with her last conversation with her mother being an argument. Full of regret, Madison took it harder than her siblings. But she tried not to show it. Instead Madison found ways to avoid thinking and processing it all. She would spend as little time as possible at home, thinking that would help. And by the time it came for Madison to start her senior year, she then threw herself more into her extracurricular activities. While also joining any new ones she could.

Madison didn’t face much difficulty when it came to getting into college. She kept up her grades at the average standard, and had all of her extracurriculars under her belt. At first, she wasn’t sure where to go. And there was the temptation to stay in Florida. But in the end Madison decided to leave home, and find her feet elsewhere in the world. She took the big chance, and moved to New York and started attending NYU.

Life in the city gave Madison a boost of confidence, she managed to make a great circle of new friends and have a few not-so-serious relationships. That was until she met Oliver. It started as a casual relationship, but the two quickly fell for each other. There wasn’t much question to them moving in together once Madison had graduated from NYU and had decided to stay in the city, considering returning to NYU after taking a gap year.

The couple of years after having graduated, Madison was happy. She was gaining credits to help her career path, she had a loving boyfriend, had great friends and was getting ready to go back to NYU. And then Madison had a gut feeling to take a pregnancy test, which she was right in doing. It wasn’t at all what Madison wanted. She wasn’t ready for a baby. Her career had barely begun, and was about to return to university. Madison had only been with Oliver for two years, to her that was too early for their relationship. Especially considering they’d not spoke about their future in that way much. Madison sat Oliver down to share the news, but got a very different reaction from him. He tried to reassure her that they could do this together, they’d find a way to manage. But nothing he said managed to calm Madison’s panic and over-thinking, which in the end lead to her getting an abortion. It was that decision that shattered their relationship.

Madison withdrew her positions of returning to NYU, and she left the city within the month. She returned to Florida. To start with, Madison moved back into her family home. And she could tell her father was happy to have her back. It didn’t take too long for Madison to find her feet again. She was home after all. Within a few months Madison was moving into her own place in Monleon.
