for  the  last  six  months,  the  only  tangible  proof  that  lydia  has  to  prove  that  she’s  alive,  in  whatever  sense  of  the  word,  is  the  grueling  migraine  that’s  plagued  her  every  single  morning.  for  the  first  few  weeks,  it  accompanied  the  wretched  hollowness  that  carved  itself  deep  in  her  chest,  but  as  days  turned  to  weeks,  weeks  turned  to  months,  she’s  grown  numb,  apathetic,  bled  dry  of  all  emotions.  she  knows  that  plenty  more  tears  and  heartache  could  be  discovered  deep  within  the  well,  could  be easily  excavated  with  a  few  therapy  sessions  she’s  purposely  missed.  but  she  doesn’t  want  to  feel,  because  to  experience  joy,  even  the  slightest  sliver,  in  the  same  world  ren  is  absent  from  feels  like  utter  betrayal.  how  does  life  go  on?  for  lydia,  it  goes  on  mechanically,  coldly  —   it  has  to  be  empty,  because  if  she  dares  to  think  about  any  of  it,  she’ll  fall  to  pieces.  
lukas’s  absences  had  been  understandable  at  first  —  in  fact,  she  savored  them,  appreciated  that  he  could  give  her  the  space  to  withdraw  from  it  all  without  too  many  questions.  as  time  trickled  by  and  she  became  more  familiar  with  her  emptiness,  that  appreciation  turned  to  embittered  resentment.  why  couldn’t  he  face  her?  why  couldn’t  they  find  solace  in  one  another?  what  had  been  so  fundamentally  fucked  up  about  her  that  lukas  had  to  run?  why,  why,  why?  tonight  is  no  different,  sat  alone  in  her  kitchen,  deluge  of  rain  slamming  over  the  city  while  a  glass  of  wine  is  clutched  between  her  digits,  barely  touched.  she’s  only  briefly  alarmed  when  she  hears  heavy  footsteps  amble  down  the  hallway,  and  the  sight  of  him  is  sheer  agony:  bruised  and  littered  with  dried  blood,  eyes  so  sunken  she  wonders  if  he’s  sleep  in  days.  a  week,  wasn’t  it?  that’s  how  long  it’s  been  since  she’s  last  seen  him.  a  whole  week,  and  —   “this  is  how  you  come  back  to  me?”  every  word  is  clipped,  a  gathering  storm  as  she  rises  to  her  feet.  “you  disappear  on  me  again,  and  this,”  so  broken  it  could  break  her  heart,  though  she’s  incapable  of  saying  it,  “this  is  how  you  come  back  to  our  home?”  in  a  flash,  the  wine  glasses  is  thrown  to  the  marble  floor,  merlot  pooling  along  the  tile.  “where  the  fuck  have  you  been,  lukas?”

“does  it?”  the  glistening  blues  that  fixate  on  selena’s  warm  countenance  suddenly  brighten  tenfold,  shining  under  fluorescent  lighting  as  they  try  to  assess  the  other’s  sincerity   —   does  she  mean  it,  or  is  she,  like  every  other  person  seems  to,  simply  humoring  the  whims  of  the  girl  trapped  in  an  ivory  tower?  cilla’s  a  wounded  optimist  by  nature,  but  experience  blemishes  that  outlook  somewhat;  people  love  to  tell  her  yes,  succumb  to  her  indulgences,  but  she  puts  on  a  great  show  -   albeit  hollow,  at  least  as  far  as  cilla’s  concerned.  maybe  she  should  be  at  a  party,  rubbing  shoulders  with  all  the  wrong  sort  of  people,  and  perhaps  she’ll  wander  into  some  dubious  warehouse  later  on,  amusing  herself  in  the  shadows  and  intertwining  her  body  with  some  nameless  figure.  but  selena  grounds  her,  supports  her  to  an  almost  improbable  degree.  her  cheeks  flush  nonetheless  under  such  kindness,  wrinkling  her  nose  at  the  thought.  “nobody  would  take  my  gallery  seriously.”  nobody  takes  her  seriously,  reads  the  subtitles,  but  she’s  smiling,  quietly  accepts  this  fact.  “i  can  only  ever  offer  my  pieces  anonymously.  people  don’t  associate  me  with  art.”  passion,  surely,  but  salacious,  breathless,  the  impractical  sort  of  way;  and  if  it’s  not  that,  then  surely  the  wrongdoings  of  every  buchanan  before  her  would  spring  to  mind.  “you  really  like  it,   though?  i  didn’t  know  if  it  was  too  much  for  your  clinic.”  too  many  colors  thrust  upon  a  canvas,  perhaps  not  what  anyone  wants  to  gawk  at  in  a  waiting  room.  “you’re  always  welcome  to  visit  my  studio  and  see  if  anything  feels  more  fitting.  i  just  wanted  you  to  know  that  i  made  this  for  you.”

The rain has been making her drowsy.     Or is it the routine?     But this is what she needed   —    the constant source of mundane natures,    no sensation of losing grip.     Selena had,   in some way,     found a new footing on existence.    Something that stemmed from wanting to feel life flow through her.    Warmth and cold alike.     If there was nothing to strive for,    there was nothing to live for.     Therefore,  she spends moments in between moments thinking of motivations to shake her from whatever cage she had crawled back into.          Cilla was one of them    —    a reason for wanting to see the water falling down from the sky despite the heaviness in the air.    Humid,   even this far into winter.     It was an odd purgatory in the seasons.       A blink,    she turns back to the other woman,    mouth still shaped into an inviting smile.     Encouraging by default,   an involuntary promise that this clinic was a good environment    —    even during closing hours.        “It’s beautiful,    really   [ … ]     it makes me feel comforted.      Like I’m in my grandmama's arms again.”      A hum of delight,     fingers slow and gentle as they trail along the paper wrapping that falls from the new painting Cilla had brought with her.         “You should be starting a gallery.     This is what the city needs to see.    Passion.   Art.”

*     ◟    :    〔   gemma  chan  ,      cis  woman    +   she/her    〕      lydia  yao-ohtani   ,      some say you’re a  forty  year  old  lost soul among the neon lights.      known for being both  strategic  and  calculated,  one can’t help but think of  femme  fatale  by   the  velvet  underground  when you walk by.    are you still a    clinical  researcher    at    annukai  pharmaceuticals,     even with your reputation as the  fortress?     i think we’ll be seeing more of you and    the  sharp  scuff  of  heels  against  marble,  intimacy  by  way  of  retribution,  and  a  steely  gaze  blinking  back  tears,    although we can’t help but think of  annalise  keating  (how  to  get  away  with  murder),  shiv  roy  (succession),  and   joan  holloway  (mad  men)    whenever we see you down these rainy streets.     
full name : lydia rose yao-ohtani.
gender & pronouns : cis woman, she/her.
age : forty
date of birth : december 30th.
zodiac : capricorn sun, cancer moon, gemini rising, capricorn venus.
tarot : the high priestess, queen of swords.
occupation : clinical researcher.
sexuality : bisexual.
immediate family : qing yao ( father ), elaine mei yao ( mother ).
relationship status : lukas ohtani, husband.
traits : sardonic, pragmatic, calculated, resourceful, intuitive, curious, wry, sagacious, generous.
assumed associates : dead hand
tw death, violence
lydia  insists  that  her  life  didn’t  truly  begin  until  she  met  lukas  ohtani  —  an  acknowledgement  that’s  equal  parts  romantic  and  tragic.  before  he  came  into  her  life,  it  had  all  been  relatively  mundane:  lydia  had  been  the  only  child  to  her  chef  father  and  piano  teacher  mother.  her  upbringing  was  humble,  but  warm.  and  though  she  didn’t  always  have  the  finest  things,  she  had  constant  support  and  affection.  if  there  was  any  problem  at  all,  it  lied  in  the  fact  that  lydia  couldn’t  find  it  in  herself  to  be  satisfied  with  this,  and  she  quietly  resented  how  easily  her  parents  settled  into  mediocrity.  it  was  a  constant  internal  battle,  exasperated  by  her  own  aspirations  and  bewildered  at  how  everyone  around  her  seemed  so  content  to  just  . . .  float.  
she  forced  herself  to  excel  in  school,  worked  her  way  into  an  ivy  league  university  on  a  full  scholarship,  and  found  herself  gravitating  towards  clinical  research.  human  nature  always  fascinated  her,  and  there  was  a  curious  sense  of  control  that  she  could  cultivate  simply  by  pooling  candidates,  diving  into  their  history,  and  allowing  them  to  play  guinea  pigs  for  a  myriad  of  results.  as  with  all  things,  though,  lydia  felt  her  career  grow  tedious  and  desperately  needed  something  to  ignite  the  spark  —  enter  lukas  ohtani.  on  paper,  it  seemed  like  he  was  everything  she  wasn’t,  the  fire  to  her  ice  -   but  even  from  that  first  meeting,  she  felt  an  inherent  connection.   they  were  both  trying  to  make  something  out  of  nothing,  he  just  had  bolder  ways  of  accomplishing  that.  a  dreamy  courtship  turned  quickly  into  marriage,  and  then  she  found  out  she  was  pregnant.  motherhood  had  never  really  been  in  the  cards  for  lydia,  but  if  there  was  anybody  she  felt  secure  enough  to  venture  into  this  new  chapter  with,  it  was  lukas.  and  while  she  spent  the  bulk  of  her  pregnancy  wondering  if  she’d  even  make  a  good  mother,  the  moment  ren  was  born,  everything  changed:  she  was  head  over  heels  for  the  boy,  and  some  of  that  ice  slowly  began  to  thaw. 
so  it  could  only  be  a  tragic  bookend  to  have  the  electric  lifestyle  that  ignited  a  spark  in  lydia’s  mundane  routine  also  be  the  life  that  took  her  son  away  from  her.  since  the  accident  (  not  that  believes  it  was  an  accident  by  any  means  ),  lydia’s  reverted  back  to  pure  ice,  distant  and  impenetrable.  her  marriage  is  barely  hanging  together  by  a  thread,  though  lydia  insists  that  very  same  goes  for  her.  she’s  thrown  herself  into  work,  though  there’s  a  prickling  need  for  revenge  that’s  added  a  cruel  edge  to  her  these  days.  she’s  got  an  acidic  tongue  and  a  gift  for  observation,  plucking  insecurities  and  playing  on  anyone’s  deepest  fears  -  whether  this  is  for  personal  gain  or  simply  a  torment  to  distract  her  is  entirely  up  in  the  air.
connections.
any friends she had prior to losing ren — she hasn't been very good at opening herself up, but there could be a very select few that she entrusted.
colleagues! probably where she spends most of her time.
ok i'm blanking but i'm sure there's plenty okaaaaay.

*     ◟    :    〔   barbara  palvin  ,      cis  woman    +   she/her    〕      cilla    buchanan ,      some say you’re a  twenty -  seven  year  old  lost soul among the neon lights.      known for being both  captivating  and  fickle,  one can’t help but think of  john  wayne  by   cigarettes  after  sex  when you walk by.    are you still a    principal  ballerina  at    the  new  york  city  ballet  company,     even with your reputation as  the  intangible  concept?     i think we’ll be seeing more of you and    airy  laughter  ringing  above  the  room,  a   distant  smile  that  never  quite  meets  longing  eyes,  a  lifetime  of  opulence  without  a  shred  of  warmth,    although we can’t help but think of   daisy  buchanan  (the  great  gatsby),   sally  bowles  (cabaret),  and  lady  brett  ashley  (the  sun  also  rises)    whenever we see you down these rainy streets.   
full name : priscilla 'cilla' lee buchanan.
gender & pronouns : cis woman, she/her.
age : twenty - seven.
date of birth : january 25th.
zodiac : aquarius sun, libra moon, sagittarius rising, leo venus.
tarot : the empress, ace of wands.
occupation : principal ballerina, aspiring artist, heiress.
sexuality : bisexual.
immediate family : richard buchanan ( father, deceased ), eleanor buchanan ( mother ), adam buchanan ( brother ).
traits : compassionate, sensual, salacious, reckless, captivating, hedonistic, epicurean, playful, aloof, discreet, engaging, tempestuous, intangible.
assumed associates : burning gods ( via family & the new york city ballet. )
tw death, drugs.
to  understand  the  full  scope  of  the  buchanan  legacy,  we’d  have  to  reach  back  several  decades  —  tracing  back  to  a  great  grandfather  as  vice  president,  uncles  and  cousins  who  served  as  aides,  mentors,  and  senators  alike  —   an  entire  lineage  of  postured  reverence  that  became  increasingly  marred  by  a  tendency  to  dip  their  hands  into  campaign  funds,  take  out  rivals  by  any  means  necessary,  betray  the  adoring  public  they’d  swore  to  protect.  it’s  all  about  as  ugly  and  sensationalized  as  one  could  fathom  from  a  family  that  burned  brighter  than  the  kennedys,  after  all.  even  now,  in  the  midst  of  a  new  era,  the  buchanan  name  remains  synonymous  with  scandal  and  political  intrigue.  the  recent  passing  of  richard  buchanan,  cilla’s  father,  also  left  the  family  vulnerable  to  probing  wounds,  and  a  longtime  affiliation  with  the  burning  gods  certainly  hasn’t  helped  quell  the  rumors  that  perhaps  there’s  more  to  the  story  than  the  american  royalty  is  willing  to  let  on.
you  know  those  people  who  just  seem  completely  intangible?  playful,  sweet,  yet  wholly  unaffected?   that’s  the  case  of  cilla  buchanan.  in  comparison  to  the  rumors  of  ruthless  foul  play  that  all  those  who  came  before  her  inspired,  her  penchant  for  salacious  displays  and  public,  impassioned  affairs  brought  some  much  needed  levity  to  the  name.  while  the  elder  buchanans  despised  her  shameless  promiscuity  and  tabloid  fodder,  others  could  appreciate  the  welcome  distraction  for  what  it  was.  cilla’s  always  been  floating  on  air,  more  than  satisfied  to  keep  as  much  of  a  distance  between  herself  and  any  political  rumblings.  her  art  had  always  been  cilla’s  true  passion,  but  her  family  considered  the  prospect  utterly  vulgar  and  shoved  her  towards  something  more  refined,  respectable:  ballet.  and  she’s  always  been  good,  lithe  and  malleable,  truly  talented  with  minimal  effort,  but  the  passion’s  never  been  there.  as  far  as  cilla’s  considered,  dancing  is  the  best  way  to  keep  access  to  an  overflowing  trust  fund  and  keep  anyone  from  asking  too  many  questions  about  her  future  . . .  which  had  always  felt  like  a  big,  bright  question  mark  at  best.
she’s  never  felt  real,  and  she’s  never  let  the  world  around  her  stay  still  long  enough  to  let  her  feet  touch  the  ground.  kind  and  warm,  the  antithesis  of  whatever  the  family  way  is  supposed  to  be,  but  also  reckless,  a  magnet  for  trouble,  rarely  on  time  and  always  just  out  of  reach.  prone to partying all night and using whatever necessary to keep herself propped together for rehearsals. her  face  might  be  just  something  close  to  inescapable  around  the  upper  crust  of  the  city,  but  there’s  always  something  more  simmering  beneath  the  surface  of  cilla  buchanan.  the  true  mystery  is  whether  or  not  she’ll  allow  anyone  to  dig  that  deep.
connections.
cilla sells some of her art under an anonymous pseudonym, and it'd be fun to have someone who might be a fan and/or patron, perhaps without even knowing who she is.
close friends of all kinds!
party friends, plsssss.
lovers, friends with benefits, exes, she has them all and she has them in spades. the more chaotic, the better, because she never takes a safe bet as far as love and passion are concerned.
enemies, namely to the buchanan name. let's party w it!
the one that got away. cilla likes to fuck up perfectly good relationships, so duhhh let's do it.
i'll think of more tbh!!
