— her grandparents became rich since they were some of the first thai people to settle in florida. if anyone wanted to immigrate into the states from thailand, her grandparents would help with their application process followed by a nice tip. their influence was very prominent and they became pillars of the thai community in florida. they were able to invest in a lot of properties as well as create a successful thai family style restaurant chain. — her father moved back to thailand since there was family drama due to multiple "unclaimed" property left behind from his parents. the people in their village were trying to take it for themselves since it had been vacant for some time. his parents didn't want to deal with it so the burden fell onto her father since he would eventually inherit all the properties once his parents pass. out of spite and not wanting to deal with the angry mob of villagers, he sold the property to a coffee franchise, a boba franchise and a kfc. he felt guilty for gentrifying the area, but at least he was handsomely paid. — her mother and her three children moved to thailand and soon after chatlina was born. — pretty privilege worked to chatlina's advantage. she hardly had to do anything to live a comfortable life. casting directors and modelling agents would chase her down, and she was popular in school. — what she fears most in life is to be broke or to be average. and both of those things were beneath her. sure, she could have easily gone down the celebrity route, but not being in control of your likeness and having to serve others constantly grossed her out. yes, her family was and is rich, but she can't depend on her family to stay rich. who knows what one of them will do for their legacy to crash and burn! – and with that, it doesn't come as a surprise that her only intention in going to med school was to become a plastic surgeon and eventually open up her own practice and make a lot of money. she created her own franchise, hera clinic. she originally launched in miami. it was a big success which resulted in many more clinics opening in florida, across america and even in singapore, bangkok and saigon. — she was on two seasons of the real housewives of miami. she was a fan favourite. left the show since separating from her husband and moved to palmview. she didn't want this part of her life to be broadcasted for everyone to see. and it's embarrassing to talk about her divorce to people considering it's still all over the media. — the reason she moved to palmview: it's close enough to miami and it's familiar. most of the people living there look like they don't pay attention to reality tv shows on bravo and don't care to know the intimate parts of her life.

Basics !

Full name: Victor Craven (technically a stage name but you won't catch them answering to anything but Victor)

Nickname: Vic (won't respond, it doesn't have the same flair as Victor according to them)

Gender: Demi man

Pronouns: He/they

Age: 34

Birthday: October 5th

Sexuality: Pansexual

Relationship Status: Single

Occupation: Entertainer (formerly b-horror movie actor, host of ghost hunting reality tv show Beyond the Veil, current host of self-ran horror movie commentary centric youtube channel that sometimes dips back into ghost hunting aka he's struggling to figure out which thing to cling to for relevancy)

Time in Palmview: 6 months

Counterpart: Peter Vincent (Fright Night (1985))

Label: The fraud

Enneagram: 3w4 (the professional, the expert)

Aesthetic: Faded posters of forgotten b-horror movies lining your walls, an unsent stack of autographed pictures just in case, doomscrolling the comments sections, clawing at relevancy, continuing the act even after the camera cuts away, the bitter taste of defeat, a collection of props gathering dust in the corner of your room, "the show must go on" repeating in your mind over and over again

Quick Backstory !

A spirited youngster always front in center in every school and community play, Daniel Ashby knew they were destined for greatness at a young age. He ate up getting lost in a role that was nothing like him and the praise that followed a job well done. Because of the joy that radiated off him was so pure, so blinding, it wasn't all too surprising when his parents used some connections to help break him into the film industry.

Only it wasn't as dreamy as he thought it would be. The first few credits they got as a teenager were all in low-budget, b-horror movies that went straight to dvd. The type of movie that got a niche, cult following but would hardly launch anyone's career. But it led to more opportunities (still nothing widely praised), though, largely within the horror community so to further lean into that, Daniel Ashby was no more and instead he was now Victor Craven.

They were someone you'd go up to at a horror convention to quickly check out before rushing off to see the real icons. And that was when the panic of never being anything more set in, so when approached about doing one of those cheesy ghost hunting reality shows where the crew screams "what was that?" as the camera pans to perfectly miss whatever the supposed sound was, they immediately took the opportunity in hopes that it would be some breakout success. Besides, they could play the part well enough to sell any ghost story.

It was just a shame then when the ratings dropped and the show was canceled after a few seasons. But never to worry because Victor Craven always has a backup plan and another opportunity on the horizon! Or so he would have you believe. The reality of the situation is that couldn't be further from the truth. So what do you do when you don't know your next move but desperately want to cling to relevancy and fame? Apparently you move to a small town in Florida and start up a YouTube channel that doesn't have a crystal clear focus yet until something better comes along.

Misc. !

Despite what you may think, they actually do not enjoy horror movies or anything horror related. If they're watching a horror movie, expect them to watch it from behind their fingers for at least part of it and no way are they going into that creepy abandoned building unless there is a full camera crew with them.

While he really hammed it up on the ghost hunting show, he doesn't actually believe in the supernatural. It's really just another act, but if anyone asks he'll totally pretend he does to really sell it.

He's the type of person who's hard to really get to know. It's not necessarily on purpose, but between insisting being called by a stage name and not always knowing when to turn a performance off, it's hard to figure out what's actually real about them.

His apartment is decorated with a nice mix of posters and props from the trashy b-horror movies they've been in and canceled ghost hunting show. They'll claim it's because those are great memories and not because they're clinging to relevancy.

Was this close to working as a tour guide in the Historic Downtown area complete with a pirate costume and persona, but decided against it. Who knows, maybe that'll be his next rock bottom.

Will lowkey act a little offend when people don't know who he is as if the movies he was in weren't b-horror movies that typically went straight to dvd and only had a few niche fans.

Wanted Connections !

Fan or Haters: People who like both or either his b-movies or the ghost hunting show he was on enough to call themselves fan. Or ! People who hated one or both career choices aka think his movies are garbage and the show was too fake (it definitely will send him into a spiral !)

Someone (or Multiple People) Who Know the Real Him: More likely than not people who he grew up alongside with who would've gotten a better glimpse at who he was before getting so wrapped up in always performing.

Believers: May tie into the fans connection, may not. But people who do believe in ghost and see Victor as some sort of expert and he just goes along with it?? Until maybe they're talking about going to some abandoned place late at night. Think the Charley to his Peter Vincent type of vibes

More to come as I develop them! Wanted connections can always be found here, but I'm always open to any and everything, including ideas that might not be listed there <3

BACKGROUND.

troy often tells people that being brought up on the gold coast in australia was filled with surf, sand and a shit load of fun. from a very young age, his father taught him how to fix cars, surf at the local beach, skateboard, to laugh and the importance of family. while his mother introduced him to a wide range of music, cooking, would help pull pranks on his father and younger sister and taught him how to swim. there was never a dull moment in the pace house, that was for sure.

when it came to schooling, it was never something that troy overly enjoyed, though it was a social outing; how could he miss that? he was a gifted, and highly intelligent student, so his mother and teachers insisted - he passed tests and assessments with flying colours when he was in class - though he grew more interested in entertaining his peers and the opposite sex as time drew on.

though when troy is passionate about something, he gives it his all. he completed a light vehicle mechanics trade as a part of his high school certificated and graduated the top of his class. in fact, he won awards across the state for his outstanding work.

the first thing he did when he got his certificate was book a one way ticket overseas; he was taking a gap year with the hard earned money he'd saved over the years from side hustles.

and oh how he traveled. for months, he spent his time bouncing across the world - working in some places to earn extra money to keep going, sightseeing, but alas, he eventually made his way home.

in his early-twenties, troy was given the opportunity to head to the usa for a couple of months. leisurely at first, though on his travels ended up landing himself a job in an automotive shop. it wasn't something he was expecting, especially when he was there on a holiday visa, but that soon changed. and eventually... weeks turned to months, and he was working with some of the best in the country.

parental death, accident tw: though troy never thought he would be beckoned home by his sister at the young age of 29 because of a tragedy. their family were as close as they came, even if they argued and bickered like every other family - so hearing that his parents had passed made him physically sick. the people he idolised, looked up to and saw as role models - ripped from him by a tragic accident.

grief tw: troy was on the next plane to australia, grief struck and in shock. he didn’t want to go back home; he didn’t feel like he could but he had to for his sister. he had to step up and be the person that she needed - strong, in control, and head of the family. the entire time he was home, he wanted to flea; get back on a plane and never set foot in the country again as the memories of his childhood and his parents taunted him. haunted his every waking moment, and his dreams were plagued with their image. it was in those months he spent in their family home he made the decision for his sister, and himself -- they would never come back to australia again. the very second he could, troy packed up their life in the gold coast (what was left of it) and headed back to america, where bad habits became worst.

he was already a terrible drinker, and that just intensified. his habits with sleeping with different women every other night increased, seemingly like a broken record, all while pushing his emotions down because god forbid anybody else know what was going on inside. god forbid he address the trauma and grieve he was feeling. going into work got harder, and harder every day, but with time, he saw it as a form of connection; he was just like his father. 

PALMVIEW.

before moving to palmview, troy city hopped; looking for his 'temporary home'. he’d been through a few places over the years, staying a couple of months, a year at another, if he really enjoyed his time in one place, he would stay for a couple years. until he stumbled over palmview just under four years ago. he would often be found at donovan's through the day, and then at the bar after work. if he wasn't at the bar, he'd be at the gym, the beach, the park - somewhere. anywhere that he could be social and interact with people, he was there.

though he was about to up and leave, ready to take on his next adventure when life had another plan for him.

pregnancy tw: it has been no secret that the australian has a bit of a reputation as being... a player. not intentionally, but troy enjoys the pleasures of life through and through. whether that be sex, or food, or lounging on the beach for hours... but acting on his desires finally came around full circle. a couple of weeks before troy planned to call it quits on palmview, his fling announced her pregnancy to him. his exact reaction was “... well fuck.”

it was the last thing he had expected, nor planned for, but he knew he had to step up. family had always been everything to him, and he hadn't realised how much he actually wanted it. he kept his job at donovan's, bought a proper place in spring street and in all honesty... he has never felt more at ease. six months ago, troy’s daughter was born and has become the light of his life. the absolute light.

PERSONALITY.

alcoholism tw: if anyone were to tell troy that he had a problem with drinking, troy would tell them to fuck off and give them the finger; however, he does have a bit of a drinking problem. it’s become a coping mechanism over the years, a friend that greets him at the end of the day since his parents death. after all, a couple of drinks a night won’t hurt, right?

troy can be described as cheeky, playful and sarcastic (sense of humour, that is). a lot of people would assume he is being rude, when in reality he is simply being a smartass. he is loyal to a fault, incredibly passionate about matters he cares about, and tends to use humour as a deflection. he is a flirt through and through, and tends to sleep around more than he probably should.

he tends to not worry about a lot of things, letting life take him as it pleases - seeking the simple pleasures of life. although he does have his guard up mighty high. showing any weakness to anybody is not on his books, and spending time pitying himself is wasted time. bottle it up, and move on is the way he approaches his own emotions. he gets in his own head a lot.

sport has always been apart of troy's life since he had been able to walk. name a sport, and troy will do it. anything that will get him outside and moving. give him a spontaneous trip, and he’ll go on it. he does, however, enjoy lounging around watching netflix in the nude on occasion as well, though not so much since clara arrived.

for as long as troy can remember, he has been focused on enjoying life as it was thrown at him. not knowing what his purpose was or what his life meant. though his perspective has changed, and he is much more settled, goal orientated and made him see the bigger picture in life. becoming a father was exactly what he needed, without even realising it.

STATS:

full name :       summer elaine bradford nickname(s) :     n / a birthplace :      westport, connecticut date of birth :       august 2, 1997 parentage :      hank bradford & annalise bradford sibling(s) :      __ bradford ( older brother ) relationship status :     single gender identity :     cis woman ( she/her ) sexual orientation :      heterosexual occupation :   economist faceclaim :      olivia holt

BACKGROUND: ( tw: mentions of body image, mentions of misogyny )

being born in westport, connecticut, life was supposed to be easy for summer bradford. she came from money and was a beautiful girl. why did she have to make things so hard for herself ?

she's the youngest of two, only three years separating her and her brother. from the jump, she was raised to expect everything yet nothing, all at the same time.

her childhood was shaped by numerous nannies who knew more about her than her own parents. her dad was too busy working or networking ( aka playing golf ) while her mother was too busy having brunch with the other westport housewives.

they were the typical american nuclear family -- a son in sports, and summer was taking dance. it was clear their parents wanted them to take on what was expected from a son and a daughter.

summer took on the feminine role well. she liked being a girl and mostly all that came with it. still, she knew something wasn't quite right.

she had begun outperforming her brother and quickly. she had more drive and more interest to learn. but, that didn't mean anything to her parents. her mother would tell her things like honey, you won't need math -- you'll marry a man with so much money, things like that won't matter. her father would say i really wish you wouldn't read so much. i don't like the ideas it puts in your head.

it didn't make any sense -- how could they have such high expectations for their son and absolutely none for their daughter ?

that was the beginning of what her father would call her DISAGREEABLE PERSONALITY. he wanted her to be gentle and meek, to sit down and shut up. unfortunately for hank bradford, his daughter possessed many of his own traits, and knew just how to use them against him.

so, she kept reading. she would call out his politics at the dinner table, much to her family's dismay. she would look for any reaosn to ruffle his feathers, the way he had ruffled hers so many times. as she grew up, it was rarer and rarer for her to complete a full dinner without being sent away.

in true summer fashion, she also made sure to be petty in the only way she knew how. by playing along. ninety percent of westport women cared about their looks, her mother included. she took dance classes, went to workout classes with her mother, regularly attended the hair and nail salons, and had a closet many girls could only dream of. on the outside, she looked like the perfect westport daughter. that's why it was SO FRUSTRATING to her parents that she couldn't just be that.

she knew society's expectations for her, and she could play that part too. she could smile and bat her eyelashes enough to get herself out of anything, had wit quicker than most of her peers could even think, and possessed a confidence that simply drew people in ( whether they liked it or not ).

it all comes to a halt when she's fifteen years old. her father, tired of dealing with her ( especially now that his golden boy has gone off to college ) sends her off to florida to stay with her mother's sister and her new family.

it was an adjustment, moving from a town like westport to a town like palmview. but she was a smart girl, she knew she was going to thrive anywhere she went.

and she did. she'd built her reputation from the ground up ( who didn't want to be friends with the mysterious new rich girl ? ). she'd made the world her bitch, just like she knew she was destined to.

of course, once she graduated, she couldn't wait to get the hell out of florida. she'd worked hard and was able to go to mit and get her master of applied science in date, economics, and design of policy.

to her, becoming an economist just made sense. she had been surrounded by money and following trends her whole life, did it not make sense to combine the two ?

the most embarrassing part of her life was the move back to palmview. she tells herself it's because she loves the beach, and not because the closest thing she had to family was here.

PERSONALITY + HEADCANONS:

as stated, she has a disagreeable personality lol

unfortunately everyone has to hear her big mouth because her dad wanted her to just be a gossiper with her friends ( which she still is, but she'll happily talk bad to your face as well )

secretly ( not so secretly ? ) a big nerd. she likes to prove there's more that meets the eye and subvert society's expectations.

but she's, like, a HUGE NERD. very secretly into games of all kind ( board games, video games, tt/rpg games ). definitely has a desktop setup and probably owns a playstation too. goes to the arcade often just to keep herself busy -- it seems like a more socially acceptable way to play games she likes.

has definitely participated in multiple d & d campaigns but only online so no one knows she's doing all that LMFAOOOOO

listens to and watches everything. she must have an opinion on literally everything !!! it's just who she is. also, she would hate for a reference to go over her head 💔💔 fomo fr

she also likes to just lose herself in the media she likes. she loves analyzing things and discussing them with others ( and seeming like the snobbiest & smartest person in the room ), but for however long, it's nice to not have to be ON. as much as she loves pushing people's buttons, it's nice to not have to always be on defense.

has literally every form of social media you could imagine. she's not an influencer by any means, but i can imagine she has a lot of followers. who wouldn't want to follow a beautiful girl with the picture perfect life, or the most correct opinions ?

fiercely loyal to those she cares about, but the list of people she cares about is quite short.

in short, she's a mean girl cus she wasn't loved enough as a kid sorryyyyyyyyyy maybe she'll change but probably not!!!!

click  here!  she's  just  a  bit  meaner  now,  oops.

★          biography.

i.  lark's  biography  prior  to  her  most  recent  departure  from  palmview  can  be  found  here.  below  is  what  caused  her  to  leave  and  why  she  returned,  and  how  it's  affected  her  since.

ii.  in  truth,  the  monotony  of  palmview  eventually  proved  itself  to  be  too  much  for  lark,  who  found  it  increasingly  difficult  with  each  passing  day  to  play  into  the  smiles  and  pleasantries  exchanged  by  the  locals.  she  found  herself  unsatisfied  by  the  humdrum  lifestyle  and,  perhaps  due  to  an  addiction  to  the  underhanded  environment  she  once  knew,  she  fled  back  to  new  york  city  and  leapt  right  back  into  the  fire.  perhaps  she  would  get  burned  even  worse  than  before  but  this  time  she  didn't  care,  failure  was  not  an  option.

iii.  fortunately  for  her  but  unfortunately  for  the  rest  of  us,  being  back  in  the  city  meant  she  found  it  much  easier  to  tap  into  that  dark,  machiavellian  side  of  her  she'd  tried  so  hard  to  repress  and  disappear  back  in  her  hometown.  with  the  help  of  a  few  sly  contacts,  she  scrounged  up  enough  dirt  on  her  old  boss  to  scrub  that  ‘decent  enough’  reference  from  her  record,  replacing  it  with  the  shiny,  gold  star,  smoke  up  your  ass  sort  of  recommendation  that  she  truly  deserved.  she  sat  in  her  airbnb  that  night  and  celebrated  with  a  few  enemies  she  never  called  friends,  the  expensive  bottles  of  wine  flowing  like  never  before…  but  at  what  cost?

iv.  she  could  return  to  palmview  again  now,  unburdened  by  the  anchors  of  her  one  and  only  failure  and  now  perfectly  poised  to  take  the  role  of  finance  officer  at  the  city  hall,  but  as  her  private  car  drove  her  back  over  the  city  limits  she  found  herself  feeling…  different.  above  her  body,  almost.  she  hadn't  ‘fixed’  herself,  quite  the  contrary,  in  fact,  now  the  hunger  seemed  worse  than  ever.  now  the  eyes  on  her  seemed  beadier,  sharper,  like  they  were  simply  waiting  for  her  to  set  a  foot  wrong  or  have  a  hair  out  of  place,  even  in  a  place  like  this.

v.  all  lark's  done  is  delay  the  inevitable.  she  can  get  meaner,  she  can  build  herself  higher,  she  can  grip  on  tighter  to  that  sparklingly  flawless  reputation  of  hers,  but  it  doesn't  erase  that  feeling  beneath  that  she  just  can't  shake.  as  time  goes  on  she  seems  to  isolate  herself  more  and  more  from  those  friendships  she'd  spent  two  years  crafting,  who  knows  what  she'll  have  left  the  next  time  it  all  comes  crashing  down?

★          extras.

i.  lark  is  a  polyglot  and  she  knows  5  languages:  english,  spanish,  portuguese,  mandarin  and  japanese.  she's  currently  learning  french  and  arabic,  which  she  believes  won't  take  her  very  long.  she  didn't  really  discover  this  until  a  bit  later  in  her  life,  when  she  got  really  serious  about  getting  into  finance,  but  it's  actually  something  she  genuinely  enjoys.  her  goal  is  to  have  a  conversational  grasp  of  every  major  language  so,  as  per  usual,  she's  setting  realistic  goals.    ii.  although  most  people  would  never  know  it  because  she  isn't  the  type  to  help  freely,  her  purse  is  the  swiss  army  knife  of  purses.  anything  you  could  possibly  need,  lark  will  have  it  in  her  bag  –  not  only  that,  she's  bought  multiples  of  everything  to  keep  in  multiple  bags,  so  she's  never  caught  unaware  by  an  accident  or  emergency.  iii.  she  has  possibly  the  worst  road  rage.  it  went  largely  undiscovered  for  quite  a  while,  since  in  the  city  there  was  really  no  need  for  her  to  be  driving  anywhere  and,  if  there  ever  was,  she'd  just  get  a  cab,  but  lark  can't  contain  herself  when  driving.  it's  100%  down  to  the  fact  that  she  isn't  able  to  get  any  work  done  during  it  and  she  resents  the  entire  experience,  especially  if  there's  traffic.  yes,  she  has  the  money  to  pay  a  private  driver forever,  but  even  lark  finds  something  like  that  to  be  garish  in  a  place  like  palmview. likes:  forest  green,  charcuterie,  red  wine,  stationery,  matcha,  snow,  green  tea,  reading,  cocktails  (good  ones!),  long-distance  running,  early  mornings,  lilies,  funny  dog  videos,  youtube  video  essays,  hot  yoga,  winter,  christmas. dislikes:  clutter,  iced  tea,  calisthenics,  fireworks,  4th  july,  people  who  snap  their  fingers  to  get  the  waiter's  attention,  driving,  more  tba  bc  she's  a  hater.

★          counterpart  inspired  plots.

i.   her  harper     –    intense  rivalry  with  a  healthy  dose  of  tension,  sexual  or  otherwise.  two  hyper-focused,  career-driven  people  who  should,  in  reality,  be  the  best  of  friends  but  the  desire  to  be  on  top  keeps  getting  in  the  way.  nobody  can  really  tell  if  these  two  love  or  hate  each  other,  one  day  they're  at  each  other's  throats,  the  next  they're  falling  over  each  other  after  too  many  glasses  of  wine  and  spilling  their  darkest  secrets.  nobody  gets  lark  like  harper  –  the  problem  is,  nobody  could  destroy  lark  like  harper,  either. ii.   her  robert     –    she's  sleeping  with  this  guy  but  can  it  really  last?  if  lark's  going  to  settle  down  for  anybody,  especially  a  man,  it's  going  to  be  for  someone  pulling  in  6  figures  in  their  sleep.  someone  who  can  provide  her  with  security.  someone  who  can  keep  her  name  squeaky  clean.  someone  powerful.  this  guy…  is  not.  but  there's  just  something  that  keeps  pulling  her  back,  no  matter  how  desperately  she  tries  to  detach  herself  emotionally.  on  his  side,  he's  in  love  with  her  but  she's  a  total  bitch,  bordering  on  pure  evil  sometimes…  and  yet,  again,  something  pulls  him  back.  could've  started  before  she  left  palmview  the  last  time  and  now  it's  messy,  because  she  left  without  saying  goodbye,  could  be  something  from  either  of  her  times  in  new  york. iii.   her  hard  ass  mentor     –    not  necessarily  her  boss,  but  someone  who,  unlike  most  of  the  people  in  lark's  life,  is  pushing  her  to  do  better,  when  she's  already  doing  her  best.  this  person's  standards  are  high,  impossibly  so  in  some  cases,  and  for  some  reason  lark  has  taken  it  upon  herself  to  set  ‘impressing  them’  as  one  of  her  goals.  maybe  it's  because  they  bare  a  striking  resemblance  to  the  assholes  back  in  nyc,  maybe  it's  because  she  thinks  she  deserves  the  pain,  maybe  she's  just  kind  of  insane  now.

about blair:

blair collins - shephard was born to her mother and father. she has one older brother and ever since she was little had always known her family to be more on the smaller side.on the plus side, her family doesn't live too far away from her so she could visit whenever she wanted. before meeting clark... her world was empty. not too much happening and because of that she was known to keep to herself. having friends wasn't entirely something that came easily to her either. and then when clark came into her life she had soon became the happiest that she's ever been. she didn't feel like she was as alone in the world as she used to feel. he brought a whole new perspective into her life and she slowly but surely began to come out of her shell more and more. singing / songwriting and becoming a musician had been her dream since she was little. but for a little while she ended up stopping because she wasn't quite sure if she was good enough to be able to continue through with her dreams. she felt as though maybe she wasn't good enough and that she needed a little bit of a break to be able to figure out what it was that she wanted. so, she got herself a new job working at retro roots while she continues to get settled into her new life here within palmview. so far, she doesn't seem to really hate it much and is very open minded and welcoming to this brand new fresh start. she may tend to be more on the quiet side at times, but most of the time she's just happy to sit down by the beach with a good book in her hand while she soaks up the sun. she is very much a reader and feels as though she's got a wishlist that could go on forever. she is mostly into a lot of mysteries, but will never turn down a recommendation for a good romance every once and a while. summer was always one of her favorite seasons, so she likes to take the time to make it down at the beach whenever a free moment opens up for her. one of the main things that blair tends to value a lot is her quiet time. she enjoys hanging out with her girls every once and a while, but enjoys not having to do too much. some of the time, she likes to write some newer songs and they are usually always based on her experiences. she had tried to record a few here and there but still feels like there's something missing when it comes to her music. unsure if she would ever actually try and pursue it for real.

headcanons:

the people she used to know would never recognize her now. since she no longer gets herself into trouble.

she likes to spend time down by the beach getting lost into a book while listening to the waves. it's calming to her.

she currently resides in coral cove / harborview residences but works at the mango bay restaurant.

it was always her dream to become a dancer but she had never fully decided to persue it.

she's usually more extroverted around her friends and family.

she enjoys to bake but that doesn't mean she is the best at it. there's been times when she had tried to bake something for her family or closest friends and would end up completely burning it.

making new friends was never really her strong suit, but she isn't a mean or closed off person intentionally.

she usually likes her space and doesn't like when people interrupt it.

love is something that she hopes for and can be quite the hopeless romantic at times.

he had a way of bringing the best back out of her again which she wasn't quite sure would ever even be possible.

being able to have someone that she could be her true self and a goofball with was everything she used to wish for.

୨୧ BACKSTORY & PERSONALITY

michael was in the system for as long as he could remember, passed around from one household to another and never quite sticking because of his troubled behaviour.

he was always causing problems, looking for issues when there weren't any and instigating when he didn't need to.

partly to get rejected, partly because he thought the whole process was ridiculous and could not wait to finally be on his own.

when he finally was, he got into the wrong crowds and was constantly up to no good. though he quickly left that lifestyle behind when one of his friends was arrested. the realization that he was throwing his life away dawned on him and he finally left that lifestyle behind; opting for different jobs to make ends meet.

michael has always loved sketching and it was his form of escape when things got bad and simultaneously he used tattoos as a way to express himself and keep memories he wanted to hold onto on his body. though not all of them meant something, sometimes he got a tattoo just because it looked cool. that was when he realized he could combine the two things he loved doing the most.

he just wants to get by, doesn't really have a long term plan for his future because he thinks he'd be stupid to really plan anything solid. he isn't entirely sure good things happen to him so he doesn't want to have hope.

can be quite cynical and v v hotheaded and impulsive. says the wrong things during a fight and regrets them later.

but it's also his impulsiveness and bad temper that has him sometimes doing crazy things for the people he loves even if it's not good for his own wellbeing. he's rash but he always means well.

v brooding rarely smiling doesn't like to chat much w people he doesn't know or people he finds annoying (if pushed enough, he will say it to someone's face)

       being   born   in   hawai'i,   on   the   beautiful   island   of   oahu,   one   would   assume   that   sunhwa   lim's   life   was   nothing   short   of   paradise.   while   her   family   has   wealth,   it   lacks   the   warmth   and   everything   else   a   child   would   want   from   their   parents.   bora   song   and   sangwon   lim   are   parents,   but   they're   not   a   mom��  and   dad—   they're   two   selfish   people   that   unexpectedly   became   pregnant,   but   didn't   want   anything   to   do   with   their   own   child.    they   found   children   to   be   too   needy   and   dependent,   go   figure,   ultimately   hiring   a   nanny   for   their   daughter   almost   immediately   after   she   was   born.

       sunhwa,   affectionately   nicknamed   suni   by   her   nanny   louise,   was   attached   to   the   young   woman's   hip   almost   immediately.   there   was   never   not   a   time   where   louise   wasn't   with   suni,   where   the   little   girl   sometimes   had   to   be   reminded   of   who   her   actual   mother   was.   bora   and   sangwon   were   always   like   random   people   living   in   her   home,   and   when   sunhwa   was   growing   up,   she'd   do   her   best   to   try   and   get   to   know   them   but   it   never   worked   in   her   favor.   her   parents   always   seemed   to   be   annoyed   with   the   mere   fact   that   they   had   a   child   who   craved   their   affection,   and   eventually,   sunhwa   stopped   trying.

       during   her   formative   years,   it's   louise   that   comes   to   her   recitals   and   helps   with   her   homework.   louise  is   the   one   to   help   get   her   ready   for   the   first   day   of   school   and   talk   her   through   navigating   her   first   crush.   suni's   used   to   it,   and   the   weird   reactions   she   gets   when   she   mentions   that   louise   is   her   nanny.   even   after   bora   and   sangwon   fire   louise   for   some   entirely   made   up   reason,   suni   still   keeps   in   contact   with   her.   it's   only   louise   who   comes   to   suni's   high   school   graduation,   and   suni   wouldn't   have   it   any   other   way.   

       suni   can't   start   college   at   the   university   of   hawai'i   at   manoa   fast   enough   come   the   fall   of   that   same   year,   ready   to   leave   behind   the   parents   she   didn't   care   for.   she   studies   kinesiology   and   rehabilitation   science   with   a   concentration   in   health   and   exercise   science   while   there,   and   graduates   cum   laude   just   four   years   later.   then   twenty   two   year   old   suni   finds   peace   moving   on   with   her   life   in   hawai'i,   working   at   a   local   sports   clinic.   her   life   is   comfortable,   especially   considering   the   fact   that   her   grandparents   made   sure   to   set   up   her   trust   fund   to   be   immediately   accessed.   she   often   wondered   where   they   were   during   all   those   years,   but   suni   never   cared��  to   get   to   know   them   either.

       after   five   years   at   the   clinic,   suni   decides   it's   time   to   move   on.   during   those   five   years,   she   dates   and   gets   cheated   on,   which   completely   broke   her   heart.   she   never   expected   for   her   ex   boyfriend   to   cheat   on   her   with   someone   that   she   considered   to   be   her   best   friend,   but   suni   took   that   as   a   sign   that   it   was   time   to   move   on.   suni   sells   her   condo   after   doing   her   research,   finding   a   cozy   beach   town   called   palmview   to   make   her   new   home.   the   only   person   she   tells   is   louise,   who   encourages   her   to   find   her   peace   wherever   it   may   be.   suni   settles   in   palmview   three   years   ago,   instantly   feeling   a   weight   lift   from   her   shoulders   when   she   steps   off   the   plane.   florida   is   incredibly   different   from   her   life   in   hawai'i,   but   it's   a   change   that   she   needs.   after   a   while   of   allowing   herself   to   rest,   suni   decides   to   become   certified   as   a   barre   instructor,   and   has   been   working   at   cove   wellness   center   for   about   two   and   a   half   years.

suni,   pronounced   as   sunny,   is   the   definition   of   her   name.   she   has   a   bright   personality,   often   looking   for   the   positives   even   if   there's   really   none   to   be   found.   she   tries   not   to   be   the   mood   killer,   sometimes   even   going   out   of   her   way   to   help   someone   else   feel   better   even   when   she's   at   her   lowest.

despite   growing   up   with   money,   she   isn't   afraid   of   some   hard   work.   maybe   it's   because   of   her   being   primarily   raised   by   her   nanny,   but   suni   has   always   enjoyed   making   a   little   effort.   

as   related   to   her   counterpart,   suni   has   an   elegant   air   about   herself   similar   to   daphne.   she's   not   particularly   naive,   but   she   tries   to   be   kind   and   considerate   of   someone   else's   feelings.   she's   an   only   child,   and   has   learned   to   be   independent   from   a   rather   young   age.

she   wishes   for   a   life   with   a   partner   and   maybe   children   someday,   but   right   now   she's   just   coasting.   she   has   no   issues   with   a   long   term   relationship,   but   considering   that   her   ex   partner   cheated   on   her   with   a   close   friend,   it's   just   not   in   the   cards   right   now.

suni   can   be   rather   stuck   in   her   ways   at   times,   unwilling   to   let   up   once   she's   made   her   mind   up   about   something.   it   takes   a   lot   of   convincing   for   her   to   change   her   mind,   and   definitely   holds   grudges   once   she's   been   crossed.

she   likes   to   end   her   nights   with   a   glass   of   wine   and   her   favorite   television   show   with   her   favorite   face   mask.   her   barre   classes   are   hard,   she   plays   tennis   for   fun,   and   will   spend   her   mornings   at   the   beach   after   a   run.   suni   drives   a   jeep   wrangler,   has   a   pink   stanley,   and   fell   for   the   labubu   hype—   there's   one   hooked   on   her   purse.

full name : yasmin dubois. birthplace : scarsdale, new york. date of birth : march 30th. parentage : vanessa dubois ( nee brooks, adoptive ) & malcom dubois ( adoptive ) imani brooks ( biological mother ) sibling(s) : everett dubois. technically two others. occupation : community outreach leader ( runs a foodbank, organizes charity drives, provides financial aid for people in need, etc. ) relationship status : single. gender identity : cis female ( she/her ) sexual orientation : bisexual. faceclaim : savannah lee smith.

BACKGROUND

triggers include : infertility, adoption, teen pregnancy, borderline drug & alcohol abuse / addiction.

yasmin was born in scarsdale, new york, to a teenage mother with her whole life ahead of her. unable to provide the life she wanted for her daughter ( and still craving life for herself ) , the young mother agreed to let yasmin be adopted by her older sister, who had struggled with infertility for several years despite desperately wanting to start a family. yasmin’s adoptive parents were rising stars in the tech world, innovators and leaders who gave her a privileged childhood. for the first eight years of her life, yasmin was the centre of their universe. though her parents were busy, they spent every spare moment with her. traveling the world, encouraging her multiple interests, enrolling her in every club she showed even the slightest curiosity in. she was happy, loved. felt safe and secure. given room to flourish. then a miracle happened, and her adoptive mother fell pregnant after years of endless negatives and being told the chances were slim. even before the birth of her brother, yasmin could feel the shift. moved into the smaller room because her brother would need more space, achievements met with a shrug as if nothing to be excited about. affection dwindling by the day. the moment her brother was born, yasmin became a ghost in her own home. practically invisible. she did everything she could to be seen. excelled in school, played the role of the perfect daughter. but nothing was ever enough. she'd never be everett. she'd never really be theirs. at the age of eighteen, while packing for college, yasmin discovered adoption papers hidden in her mother's office. the truth was finally revealed. her parents were not her parents; her aunt had given birth to her and then given her up. that realization, combined with the growing negativity in their home, sent yasmin into a downward spiral. her lifestyle became reckless. she embraced the chaos with nightly parties, substance abuse, and a reputation as the troubled it girl. college was supposed to be the best time of her life, and instead she was fostering bad habits and barley making it through. it wasn’t until she hit rock bottom that she began to revaluate her life. knew she wanted to be better, do something that would make a change. at twenty-three, searching for purpose, yasmin moved to palmview, florida, a place filled with childhood memories from family vacations spent at their vacation home by the beach. using part of her trust fund, she founded a community outreach program at the local community centre. she set up a food bank, organized regular charity drives and provided financial aid to people facing medical hardships. despite having found a sense or purpose and a way to give back, yasmin still struggles with trust and her sense of belonging. every now and then, the wild child resurfaces, never really gone. one bad day away from slipping up. but she's trying. oh god, she's really trying. upon first meeting, yasmin can appear rather cold and guarded. over the course of her life, there's been many betrayals, starting with her family but also in the form of fake friends. she's fiercely independent, and wants to use her privilege to make a real change. some people still question her, but it only fuels her further to prove people wrong.

WANTED CONNECTIONS

the reluctant confidant - someone she's reluctantly let in, who knows about some of her struggles. maybe they caught her on a bad day, or maybe she revelled herself during a drunken night out. either way, they seem persistent in being there. - taken by archie. the reoccurring summer fling - she summered in palmview every year, this is someone she met in her late teens, and in some ways could be considered her first real romance. a whirlwind, but being so young and unsure of who they really were, it was also toxic. yet, each summer, they'd come back together. breaking their hearts each and every summers end. - taken by emma. the frenemy with underlaying attraction ( f ) - they like to think they're so different, but they have a lot more in common than they realize. a spark from the moment they met, and while most assume it to be competitiveness, there might be more to it than that. judging a book - they've never quite taken to her, and maybe it's because they have always seemed worlds apart. they assume her to be some kind of way because of her background and reputation that won't let her be. maybe they figure it out along the way, or maybe some people just aren't meant to mix. fuels the wild side - during her most reckless years, this friend was both an enabler and a mirror to wild side. they thrived on the chaos together. many late-night parties and blurred boundaries. their bond was intense and intoxicating, and in a lot of ways, bad for them both. their friendship is strained now, but it's a reminder of a past she ( or both ) can't fully let go of. a moth to a flame - an instant connection, bred from a single glance. sometimes you meet someone and something just feels right. except the timing is all wrong. every glance lasts a second too long, every touch feels like a secret. they avoid each other because it’s safer that way. because getting close feels like a risk neither can afford. and yet, something always pulls them together. anything and everything. friends from college, friends ( or enemies ) she made during summers, a past fwb when she first came to live here full time, soon fizzling out because she was in such fragile time of her life. people who help with the community work would be great also !! someone she met at an addict on meeting, only to never return, convincing herself there was no problem.

UP NEXT: “COTTON CANDY” BY YUNGBLUD

BIOGRAPHY: TW MENTAL ILLNESS, DEATH, DV, DRUG/ALCOHOL USE

Quinn Zarek grew up in a rustbelt town where everything felt a little too close — too many eyes, too few exits. Bayridge, Illinois: the kind of place with a Walmart, a bowling alley, and secrets that never stayed buried. She was raised in a two-bedroom ranch house on the edge of town by her older cousin Justine, a tough-as-nails trauma nurse who became Quinn’s legal guardian when she was just seven, after her parents were killed in what police called a “domestic dispute gone wrong.” Quinn doesn’t talk about it. What she remembers are the sounds - a door slamming, a gunshot, the silence after. Justine never sugarcoated the world for her. Their house was strict but safe, filled with first aid kits, VHS horror flicks, and late-night emergency room stories swapped over microwave ramen. She taught Quinn how to suture a cut, how to scream with purpose, and how to take care of herself without needing anyone to save her. Quinn found her escape in horror. While other kids were scared of monsters under the bed, she was memorizing final girls - the ones who ran, who fought, who lived. Her bedroom walls were plastered with posters of Halloween, The Descent, The Craft, and Suspiria. She’d rewind kills to study the special effects. She found comfort in controlled terror, in knowing when the scream would come and that she'd be okay after. But real horror doesn’t follow rules. When Quinn was seventeen, a string of murders swept through Bayridge. A masked killer targeting people from her high school. One by one. Quinn survived - barely. The last girl standing, drenched in blood and breathing like her lungs weren’t used to it. The media swarmed, true crime junkies called her a “badass,” and the town started whispering. Some blamed her. Some wanted her autograph. None of them really saw her. She fled Bayridge the day after graduation, never once returning. Over the next few years, Quinn lived in five cities across two states, taking odd jobs — bookstore clerk, projectionist, film archive assistant — all while pouring her grief and sharp-eyed genre obsession into Final Lines, the podcast she started under a pseudonym. She never showed her face. Just her voice: smooth, low, haunted and sharp. A year ago, burned out and blinking on the edge of collapse, she drove south until the gas ran low and the sky smelled like salt. Palmview was a coincidence - or fate. She spotted the Tidepool Drive-In off the highway, flickering to life like a ghost’s open eye. She took a job there on impulse. Maybe it was nostalgia. Maybe it was the idea that if fear could live on a screen, so could healing. Now, she’s the girl who threads reels at dusk, who disappears between screenings, who walks home with her keys between her fingers. Most people just think she’s quiet. Some think she’s intense. No one suspects she’s been hunted. Or that she still carries a switchblade in her boot and a voice recorder in her coat pocket - just in case. She still calls Justine once a week. Never for long. They don’t talk about the murders. They talk about deadlines. And dream sequences. And if Quinn’s sleeping through the night yet. She usually lies. But the podcast keeps growing. The Unquiet - her loyal listenership - still don’t know her name. And Palmview doesn’t know what she’s running from. Yet.

EXTRA-EXTRA, READ ALL ABOUT HER!

MBTI: ISTP - The Virtuoso

Enneagram: 6w5 - The Guardian (with survivalist instincts)

Temperament: Choleric-melancholic

Astrological Vibe: Sagittarius Sun, Libra Rising, Taurus Moon

Personality:

Quinn Zarek is the kind of person who walks into a room already knowing how to get out of it. Hyper-observant and instinct-driven, she doesn’t miss much - tracking microexpressions, reading the emotional weather, and clocking exits like second nature. It’s not paranoia; it’s pattern recognition, honed by experience and a gut instinct that’s saved her more than once. She’s private to a fault, revealing only what she chooses to - and even then, it’s curated. The version of her you hear on her podcast Final Lines is sharp, compelling, and just intimate enough to feel real, but in person, she’s all half-smiles and evasive wit. That wit, by the way, cuts deep: Quinn’s humor is dark, dry, and surgical, often used to test people rather than entertain them. Beneath the snark lies a profound understanding of grief and absurdity - not that she’d admit it. Loyalty, for Quinn, is sacred but hard-earned; trust even more so. She assumes most people are hiding something, because she is too. Brilliant and incisive when it comes to horror films, cultural commentary, or spotting patterns in chaos, she intellectualizes her own trauma to keep it safely distant. But despite her avoidance, she’s grounded in the physical world - practical, tactile, and always moving. Whether it’s splicing film reels, fixing a busted projector, or flipping open a switchblade with steady hands, Quinn lives through her senses. Flickering light, gravel underfoot, the hum of old machinery - this is where she feels real. She utilizes sarcasm as a defense mechanism. Despite her outward confidence and sharp senses, Quinn is private to a fault - she keeps her true story tightly locked away and is reluctant to let others get close. This tendency to self-isolate can make her seem aloof or guarded, sometimes pushing people away before they can truly connect. Her reliance on instinct and suspicion sometimes borders on mistrust, making it hard for her to fully relax or believe in others’ intentions. This internal barrier can cause loneliness or emotional isolation, even if she doesn’t readily admit it. Quinn navigates social situations with a careful balance of alertness and control. She quickly reads the emotional temperature of a room and adapts accordingly, but she rarely drops her guard entirely. She is selective about whom she lets into her circle, and when she does engage socially, it’s often with a dry sense of humor and an underlying sharpness that can intimidate or intrigue. Quinn is not the type to seek out large groups or be the center of attention; she prefers meaningful one-on-one interactions or small, trusted groups. Among friends, Quinn is loyal and protective, though she may still maintain some emotional boundaries. She’s the kind of friend who notices when something is off before anyone else does and often knows exactly what to say - or not say - in moments of crisis. However, her reserved nature means she doesn’t always share her own struggles openly, which can create a dynamic where she supports others more than she allows herself to be supported. Friends respect her for her reliability and insight, even if they sometimes wish she would let her guard down more. Romantically, Quinn is cautious and deliberate. She doesn’t rush into relationships, preferring to test the waters thoroughly before letting someone in. Once committed, she is intensely loyal but expects trust and honesty in return. Emotional vulnerability is difficult for her, so her partners must be patient and understanding, able to hold space for her without pushing too hard. Quinn tends to protect herself through a veneer of control and independence, so a romantic partner who can meet her on her level - offering steady support without trying to “fix” her - is crucial. Deep connection for Quinn grows from shared trust, mutual respect, and emotional safety.

Headcanons:

Swears she can recite the entirety of Halloween, backwards

Has a survival kit (Red Vines included) stashed in the trunk of her car at all times

Known to chase teenagers away from the drive-in with a prop machete

Loves to pull pranks and scare those she works with or deems as friends

Quinn’s favorite comfort food is microwave popcorn - she says it smells like “safety and suspense.”

Quinn’s handwriting is neat and precise, but she doodles tiny skulls and bats in the margins of her notebooks.

She hums suspenseful melodies from horror films when she's stressed/anxious

SHE CANNOT DRIVE STICK

their  first  red  flag  was  the  night  she  was  born.    her  name  was  suppose  to  be  "mireya",  but  her  father  had  been  too  drunk  to  give  the  doctors  the  correct  name  and  her  mother  exhausted  from  more  than  just  birth  to  give  any  corrections.  so,    that's  who  she  became:    misery.    almost  poetic  in  a  sense  when  you  think  about  how  things  turned  out.  a  foreshadow  almost. life  growing  up  was  as  chaotic  as  one  could  picture.    her  mother  seemingly  numb  to  the  world  and  her  father  more  focused  on  getting  his  next  bottle  than  do  his  part  in  being  a  boyfriend  and  a  father.    nights  filled  with  the  loud  shouts  of  her  father  and  the  cries  her  mother  tried  to  keep  silent,  but  never  seemed  to  manage.  from  a  young  age,    missy  always  wondered  why  her  mother  put  up  with  everything  she  did.    why  she  stayed  when  every  night  ended  in  heartache.    misery  loved  her  mother  and  would  go  anywhere  she  would.  only  the  sentiment  was  never  shared. she'd  only  been  five  years  old  when  her  mother  disappeared  and  left  her  only  child  behind.  nothing  but  a  note  that  she'd  never  gotten  the  chance  to  read  before  her  father  ripped  it  to  shreds,  tossed  it  in  the  garbage  and  twisted  the  lid  open  of  his  next  whiskey  bottle.    misery  never  got  to  know  what  her  mother's  last  words  were  before  turning  in  a  ghost.   it  was  the  night  of  her  mother's  disappearing  that  she  learned  that  there  was  no  one  around  who  would  be  the  one  looking  after  her.    she  had  to  do  it  on  her  own  and,  on  top  of  that,  she  had  to  be  the  one  to  also  look  after  her  father.  that's  how  it  went  for  years.  misery  fending  for  herself,  turning  her  father  on  his  side  every  night  and  waking  up  early  enough  in  the  mornings  to  ensure  he'd  been  sober  enough  to  get  to  work.    by  night,    she'd  been  the  replacement  of  her  mother  in  her  dad's  eye.    a  face  that  reminded  him  so  much  of  the  woman  who  left  that  all  his  anger  seemed  to  pour  onto  misery  —  countless  nights  ending  the  same  way  her  mother's  had  until  her  skin  grew  tough  enough  that  she  didn't  cry  anymore.    it  didn't  mean  the  words  hurt  any  less. at  the  age  of  eighteen,    that's  when  missy  kissed  goodbye  the  life  she'd  been  forced  to  be  apart  of.    it  was  another  night  of  anger  being  thrown  at  her,  but  it  was  her  final  night  of  being  a  punching  bag  for  all  that  rage.    misery  didn't  keep  quiet  that  time.    no,    she  stood  up  for  herself.    said  some  equally  awful  things  to  her  father  (all  true)  and  when  he  realized  he  couldn't  break  her  in  the  same  way,  his  hand  struck  her  face.    that  was  the  end.    it's  almost  as  if  life  seemed  to  repeat  itself:    missy  had  become  a  ghost  just  like  her  mother  did.    packing  up  as  much  as  she  could  into  one  duffle  bag  and  hopped  onto  a  bus  with  whatever  cash  she  managed  to  save  up  throughout  the  years.  leaving  both  her  father  and  florida  behind  for  good.   becoming  a  ghost  in  people's  lives  is  how  she  chooses  to  spend  her  years. hopping  from  town  to  town,  state  to  state  all  while  leaving  her  mark  until  the  day  she  felt  like  she  was  ready  for  something  new.    jumping  onto  the  next  bus  or  train  without  as  much  of  a  goodbye  to  any  of  the  friends  she'd  met  along  the  way.    it's  always  been  easier  that  way  for  her.    a  girl  scared  of  building  true  connections  and  preferring  to  keep  everyone  at  the  surface.

the  only  dream  she's  ever  had  was  to  see  the  world,  focus  on  her  present  and  not  have  to  waste  her  time  worrying  about  what's  happened  or  what  could  come  next.    she  thrives  with  living  in  the  moment  and  that's  how  she  prefers  it. the  only  reason  she’d  come  back  to  town  was  to  bury  her  father.    she  didn’t  want  to  go.    for  her  father  had  been  dead  and  mourned  long  before  his  actual  departure,    but  despite  it  all,    she  can’t  bring  herself  to  be  that  cruel.    even  if  she  hated  her  father,    there’s  a  part  of  her  that  can’t  deny  that  she  also  loved  him.  but,  of  course,    coming  back  home  didn’t  come  without  it’s  issues    —    a  house  that  she  wants  nothing  to  do  with,  but  somehow  has  become  her  problem.  right  now  her  only  goal  is  fix  up  the  disaster  of  house,  sell  it  and  finally  disappear  from  palmview  for  good.

𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘

𝐈. there's always much to be expected from a girl who grew up having two intellectuals for parents and agata was the type to make sure she lived up to those expectations. her mother being an astrophysics professor and her father a marine biologist, she grew up with the knowledge that she had big shoes to fill. and that she did. agata was the child with the highest grades in school, the most extracurriculars, in maths club and the volleyball team; no academic accomplishment was ever too small or big for her. she wasn't exactly the popular kid, but being almost omniscent in school inserted agata in almost every social circle there was and knowing everybody helped. there's always something you might need that you can't do but someone else can, and she'd pride herself on always knowing who could. it made her life easier always. 

𝐈𝐈. agata did not have much free time , but all of which she had would be spent with her father at his job . mostly because she wasn't allowed to shadow her mother around the university as frequently, so at the boats watching her dad it was. so growing up she'd thought that would be the area she'd get into for work. but what she didn't notice was how she was always the one alarming her father and his colleagues when a group of cloud not far away seemed a dark enough to become a concern or the wind started blowing hard enough to make the ocean harder to navigate. she couldn't pinpoint the moment climate became such a huge deal for her, but realised it was when choosing which course to apply to university with, she clicked meteorology and never looked back. her life in university was the same as it had always been: academic success. but after graduating she made a discovery about herself she had not yet noticed: her biggest passion wasn't her field, climate or anything specific. it was studying. she simply loved learning more than anything. which was enough to have her join a post-grad programme immediately and, after that, pursue a doctorate.

𝐈𝐈𝐈. that's when she left brazil for the us, having chosen mit to be the university she'd get her phd from, solely from the weight the school's name had and how much significance it would add to her resume. did she enjoy living in boston? no, the cultural difference was enough to have her homesick the entire five years she was in there. but there was little she wouldn't do for her education. after getting her diploma she decided to leave the city once and for all, she knew with her resume she could get a job anywhere so florida it was. the main reason was that it just felt closer to home than other states in the country would and she didn't think she was ready to go back home just yet. the climate being much warmer was all she needed to make that decision. in these two years she's been sporadically doing research in palmview university but her main job is as the weather specialist at the local news and she's content with it.

has a ragdoll cat named lady coconut flakes of genovia. also known as flakey, coco, bala or balinha. she comes up with new nicknames for this cat every week, you never know who she's speaking about.

has so many hobbies it's hard to count since learning is her main one, she ends up with a hundred others as collateral. right now the one she spends most of her free time in would probably be surfing and pottery.

name: sienna penelope rush age: 29 height: 5'5 apartment: ocean's edge #412 job: art teacher at coral cove academy label: the ebulliant counterpart: aria montgomery - pretty little liars

background:

sienna was born to two loving parents who'd gotten married just out of high school. everything seemed wonderful. they were high school sweethearts, but not everything was all fine and dandy. their parents hated that her mother had gotten pregnant, and eventually shunned them out of the house. they wound up living in a small shack out in the woods as it was the only thing they could afford. sienna grew up learning how to take care of herself so that her parents weren't so stressed out. she grew up learning to appreciate the little things in life. her childhood was full of spending tons of time outside, enjoying all of what the world had to offer.

by her sixth birthday, her mother got a job offer in new york, causing her parents to start struggling. they split up, and sienna was an absolute wreck, because she adored her father and adored them when they were together. but he didn't want to move and wanted to rebuild the relationship with his family. this broke the two of them, but they moved to new york anyway.

there, sienna learned about the world of art, and enjoyed every second of it. she thrived in art schools, and eventually decided she wanted to move near the ocean, so she went to school in miami and began creating beautiful pieces of art. but it wasn't enough. she wanted to teach others the beauty of art, so she got a teaching degree and decided to move somewhere fresh and teach. so far, it's been beautiful and wonderful!

personality:

she's super sweet, fun, and loving. but she's got quite a temper as bright as her hair, and a wild side that she loves to let out. her sarcastic attitude can get her into trouble quite easily!

BACKGROUND: (tw: adoption, mentions of neglect)

alejandro maldonado is six months old when the state of california deems his parents unfit to take care of their son. the social worker in charge of his case knows a family looking to add a member to their family. a baby, no less.

so, alejandro luis maldonado guzman becomes little atlas orion shephard ( the shephards feel as though they're honoring his birth family by keeping his first initial a ).

however, joining a family with two other kids is no easy feat -- especially when the parents have no intention of actually caring for their children.

the shephards are well off business people, which is how they get away with being such absent parents. they live in a big house, they take elaborate christmas cards, and they attend a school event here and there when it's convenient for them.

it wasn't all bad, though. as they grew up, sadie would read her assigned chapter books to him and clark would allow him to scribble on a sheet of paper next to him while he was making his own sketch.

there were a few nannies in the picture, but that all went away when the shephards decided the oldest (sadie and marco, now that he'd joined the family) were old enough to start taking care of the rest of them.

the shephards were trying to craft the perfect kid, which means they all got wildly different extra curriculars assigned to them. atlas had originally gotten soccer, but after his first game where he cried because he got hit with a ball, his dad was too embarrassed to take him back. they enrolled him in piano lessons shortly after ( because at least then he could entertain their friends ).

he loved all of his siblings, but in a young atlas' eyes, marco and sadie were not his siblings. all of his earliest memories include marco playing outside with him and sadie helping him with his homework. they were very much surrogate parents, while clark and scout were actually his siblings. it was every day the oldest two were mediating a fight between any combination of the youngest three.

being the youngest of five made it very hard to find himself outside of the shadow of the other four. it was a lot to live up to. who was atlas shephard ?

atlas, to put it nicely, had a very needy personality. he needed a lot of attention and reassurance, and he was not getting that from his parents. he'd get it from his siblings when they had it to give, but sometimes they just didn't.

living in the shadow of his siblings just made him awkward. he mumbles, he second guesses himself, he frequently puts his foot in his mouth… if he couldn’t even navigate his household, how was he going to navigate the world?

marco and sadie did the best they could, but atlas could just never understand why the parents who went through all the trouble of adopting him couldn't just spend a day with him. insecurity grew within him, and he was constantly changing his personality to see what would get him the most attention. he'd tried succeeding academically like sadie, rebelling ( in the best way atlas could ) like clark, and talking their ear off like scout. at the end of the day, his parents were simply not interested in it. and, even if they were, they had FIVE CHILDREN -- they had so many people to give attention to.

he wonders why the people who give birth to him hadn't been interested in working to keep him, why the people who supposedly wanted him didn't want him.

he's thirteen years old when marco moves away, and it shakes him a bit. he feels himself shrink without the man who helped shape who he was. beginning middle school around the same time was kind of a nightmare for atlas.

still, it's around that time he finds a little bit of himself. he realizes people care less about you when you make them laugh. he wasn't exactly gunning for class clown or anything, but the jokes and sarcasm come out easily enough when you hate yourself don't take yourself too seriously.

for the most part, he coasts through school. gets decent grades ( and has access to good tutors when he doesn't ), continues to play the piano ( but has no interest in composing his own music ), and makes enough jokes to distract outsiders from the insanity that is his family.

when it’s time for college, he asks himself: what is the best form of revenge for a family who only cares about appearances? actually caring for those with less. he’d never understood his parents obsession with raising money to LOOK GOOD and not actually caring about those who needed the help.

he goes to school for business, just to buy himself time. worse comes to worse, he starts his own business to help others.

he's nineteen when sadie leaves for florida, and it's yet another hit to his core. he still lives at home and is commuting to school, so he notices as each sibling leaves the nest. well, everyone but him.

and, even as one of the last to leave the shephard house, it still isn't enough to bring him much attention. there's small talk with his parents over coffee in the morning, but that's really the extent of it. they pay for his education, and he goes. it's transactional for all of them.

once he graduates, he makes his way to palmview ( definitely following sadie ). during his tour of the town, he makes a point to stop by the community center and sees they need an event coordinator. it seems like the perfect gig, and although he’s young, it doesn’t seem like many were jumping at the chance for the job.

he’s three years into the job, and he’s loved getting to meet the people in his town– kids and adults alike. he doesn’t often participate in his events, but he’s always there to see how others are enjoying them ( and to make sure everything runs smoothly ).

PERSONALITY:

as stated above, he’s quite awkward !!! either doesn’t think before he speaks or thinks too hard before he speaks … no in between

lowkey loves attention ( was obvs deprived of it ) but he’ll never admit thattttttt

can be a bit of an emo boy when the topic of family is brought up -- he sees the good in all of his siblings and loves them each for who they are, but that didn't make their situation any less difficult.

has a love / hate relationship with the winter months … has fond memories of the holidays growing up, but also knows they were jus for show … but also loves how busy the holiday season is !!!

has kind of settled into the “normal guy” role … He’s Just A Guy

very caring, though… has definitely lost a lot of money replacing jackets / hoodies he’s just handing out to people ….. quite literally giving the jacket off his back …..

he’s not a confident speaker in general … not the thoughts he shares … not the volume he speaks at … is always mumbling your chara will have to tell him to SPEAK UP !!!
