TL;DR BIO

LJ  and Holly Holliday are a real life Sophie and Donna Sheridan, but if Sophie had been a lot more like her mom. LJ has moved around a lot consistently throughout her life which has caused her to take interest in learning the inner workings of various people’s brains. She loves punk music, hates school, misses Seattle, and is trying to live her new Lima life to the fullest after staying put for a near record breaking six months.

BIO

LENNON JAMES HOLLIDAY OR “LJ” HAS NEVER LIVED A BORING DAY IN HER LIFE. sure, there’s absolutely been less interesting ones, but she’s always tried to find something exciting in each day. she spent a lot of time alone growing up, but LJ didn’t necessarily mind that. she always made her own fun whether she had friends in any given town or not.

her and her mom were often packing up and moving across the country due to her mom almost constantly taking up new jobs. as a kid, she thought it was fun and fascinating. what kid needs more than their mom? LJ was especially close with her mother and still is to this day, though they have started butting heads a little more as she’s grown and she’s grown more weary of all the moving. LJ has no idea who her father is and to be perfectly honest, her mom has no idea either. the way they both eventually came to see it was, they didn’t need a man in their life who wasn’t necessarily interested in being there. LJ jokes that they’re the less glamorous version of Donna and Sophie Sheridan from Mamma Mia.

holly raised LJ to unapologetically be herself no matter where they were or who she was friends with at the time. LJ, of course lives by those words to this day and is continually herself and very politically outspoken. as a kid, she struggled with both not knowing her father and constantly being the new kid at school. but as she got older, LJ adapted and sort of learned not to make too strong of connections because before she knew it her mom would be offered another interim teaching job. holly, while a loving mother, really allowed her daughter a lot of freedom which in addition to all the moving has led to LJ being extremely independent. just because she tries not to get close to people doesn’t mean she isn’t fascinated by them. she’s interested in all types of people and their stories just as long as they don’t start asking questions about her.

LJ went by Lennon up until she started middle school. middle school, of course, is where most everyone’s angst starts to flare up. she figured LJ would make her seem cooler and more mysterious from town to town rather than explaining her amalgamated name of john lennon and etta james.

in an ever changing upbringing, one thing that stayed consistent was LJ’s love for music. it was one of the many things her and her mom bonded over and as she got older she eventually started to teach herself music. she can play bass, guitar, and piano, but LJ’s real love is drumming. most recently, holly and LJ were settled in seattle where LJ joined an all girl punk band.

by far, seattle was her favorite place. she loved the people there, she loved the weather, and she actually made some friends. LJ was actually convinced she was going to graduate from there until her mom dropped the bomb they were moving to some town in ohio where holly used to substitute teach every now and then. with the bad news, her mother promised this would be the last time and the position as troubletones coach beginning in the 2040-2041 school year she was would be permanent.

so after moving towards the end of the semester last school year, LJ has made a couple of friends, but she still isn’t stoked about being in lima. with all these milestones on the horizon LJ wished she were somewhere cooler like seattle to finish her last two year of high school. of course, she’ll make do, but that doesn’t mean she won’t be bitter about it.
