“i’m feeling an urge to go shopping. ugh! i wish there was a mall around here.”

haley is the second born child in the burton family, following her sibling emily by a few years. the burtons were wealthy couple; their homey, comfortable residence in pelican town wasn’t due to a lack of funds, it was just because they loved the town and wanted their kids to grow up in that welcoming environment

that didn’t stop them from traveling all over with their daughters, though! haley and emily did a lot of exploring around with their parents as they were growing up, and always got whatever their little hearts desired. haley definitely grew up spoiled; trips to the mall were frequent any time her sights were set on getting something. her adoration for photography was born from this very pattern; her parents assumed it’d be a phase she grew out of within weeks, as most things she set her sights on were, but she grew attached to the disposable camera they bought her and continued using up all the film on them until her parents bought her a proper camera. she’s since upgraded multiple times, but her trusty old first camera is still on display proudly in her bedroom.

growing up, haley befriended alex mullner, another pelican town local that was the same age as her, and they were fast friends. he was the only person that could handle her, so to speak - he either didn’t take her shit or just let it roll off her back. they were truly a match made in heaven, and that much was evident to the both of them the older they got. so much so that they decided to start dating in high school. things were great for a while, haley was happy, but all things that glitter are not gold.

as their relationship progressed, it started feeling worse and worse. alex was happy - he was planning their future, molding his life around the idea of marrying her and having kids together in the future. to him, everything was perfect between them. haley was less sure, and couldn’t put her finger on exactly why for a long time. but a while after graduating high school and settling into her adult life, so to speak, it hit her. she was a lesbian. and as much as she loved alex, she didn’t love him in the way he needed her to and the way she so desperately wanted to.

it was hard, but she came out and they broke up. it put a slight strain on their friendship, for sure, but like with everything, they got past it and have resumed their inseparable friendship since. he’s still her favorite person in the world, in spite of their past.

since, haley has come out publicly and is no longer ashamed or worried about what people think. it’s part of her, and if anyone has an issue with it, that’s on them, not her. she’s fallen right back into her typical girly, snooty, ostentatious personality. a few years back, she and emily’s parents left pelican town to travel the world independently, leaving the house to the girls. haley adores the extra freedom and the allowances they send the kids every week. she’s attached to her camera and attached to her clothes, and she’s not afraid to judge your choice in such. saying she’s an acquired taste is an understatement tbh.
