bailee ran as fast as she could away from georgia, away from the memories that grabbed at her ankles and threatened to drag her under the water. early in life, she had watched her older brother suffer relentlessly from the savagery of cancer. the night he died was burned into her mind - it had been expected, certainly. but it shouldn’t have happened as early as it did. following a nightmare, she had padded across the floor as she typically did to his bedroom to be comforted. she found him cold and lifeless, an image that has stuck with her despite years of therapy. she had never been allowed to bring him up to her parents, never felt comfortable considering the rapid dissolution of their marriage following her brother’s death. the blonde tries to channel it into something positive, by nurturing youth and fostering their emotional expression through art.

she married her high school sweetheart and the pair decided it was for the best to leave the area and relocated to north carolina - it was far enough away to separate bailee from her trauma, but familiar enough to be comfortable. the pair were married for years before finally having their first child, but it was not to last. two months after the birth of their son, the pair decided to split when kellan decided that he hadn’t lived enough to be truly settled. the divorce was quick and simply, bailee too emotionally exhausted to ask for much. her now ex-husband moved out and she has not been the same bubbly person since.

The youngest of four and the certified baby of the family, Sydnee wasn’t spared much of the slack that this position typically affords. Instead, it seemed that she was always in constant competition with her older sister, Dianna. The pair differed drastically in both personality and interests. Sydnee tended to take more after her free spirited and loving mother while Dianna was much more serious and focused like their Judge father. 

Though she is quite aware of the inheritance and its restrictions, the blonde is in no rush at this time to get married or even receive the money. Loving and full of compassion, she chose a career that was less glamorous and lucrative - a social worker for Child Protective Services. Though she doesn’t make as much as Dianna, she finds her job incredibly fulfilling and she wants to make her own way in life without the assistance of her family. It’s an opportunity to escape from Dianna’s shadow, as well. It takes her off of the playing field entirely.

Though charming and lovely, she has been less than lucky in love and is the last of the Neill-Ross children to be coupled up. Asked at every family event about her love life, she’s constructed the perfect lover that she pretends to have in her life. It has all worked well up until this point - until Dianna and her damned engagement and the entirety of her family expecting Mr. Perfect to be her wedding date. Sydnee may have to go against her morals to save face.

Dianna had a fascinating and privileged childhood. Both sets of grandparents were blessed financially, giving her parents freedom to pursue their interests and live as they pleased. Her parents never married legally and they were completely fine with that. Her mother wanted to keep her last name, to not be owned or tied to anyone. Her children owned a hyphenated last name, but Dianna quickly shed her mother’s last name once she became of age. She didn’t want to be Dianna Ross, that name already belonged to another powerful woman - she was going to make her own name.

Though her mother is a free spirit who doesn’t like to indulge in her family’s wealth, she is the daughter of an Oscar winning actor. With his recent passing, he has left an incredibly healthy inheritance behind to his grandchildren, all four of them set to inherit millions. The only catch is that they will only receive the money following getting married. It seemed a bit on the shallow side, but Dianna didn’t want to wait around for Mister Right - so she and a partner at the firm decided to make a plan of their own.

Born into one of the most loving families that a person could hope for, Poppy was endlessly adored by her parents. The dream came swiftly to an end, however, when the pair of them were ripped away from her. Having left Poppy with her Aunt Elizabeth for a night out at a charity benefit in Pittsburgh, they were in a tragic car accident while returning home. From then on, the blonde was raised by her aunt who kept her carefully guarded in hope of never exposing the girl to such heartache again. It wasn’t long before the woman had decided that they both needed new surroundings and relocated to New Bern, North Carolina when Poppy was in the third grade. While there, she excelled and ended up skipping two grades. Already one of the youngest in her class, she graduated at the age of fifteen. Though high school wasn’t a horrible time in her life, it was laced with competition from one of her more frustrating classmates who brought and continues to bring out the worst in her. Deciding that she wanted to help others, she went to medical school and become a family practice physician. Big-hearted and endlessly compassionate, she’s thrown herself into her work and tends to neglect her own well-being and emotional needs.
