( jessica parker kennedy, cis female, she/her) ☆ you won’t believe who i just saw walking down main street! JESSICA PARKER KENNEDY! what do you mean that’s just BRIANNA THORNE? who? a 30-year-old COFFEE SHOP OWNER…interesting. and they are NURTURING & WITTY, but i should watch out for when they are MELODRAMATIC & AWKWARD? will do.

Hello hello. My name’s Ellie and I’m a 26-year-old total mess of a human being. I’m in the CST timezone (also just realized in the app I sent in I wrote CMT because I’m a moron lmao). I go by she/her pronouns and I also have no problem with pet names or whatnots. You can call me sweetie or babe or dude as long as it’s affectionately and not like done in a creepy psycho ‘it rubs the lotion on its skin’ kind of way, ya feel me? Aces. <3

MEET MY GIRL

TW: Pregnancy, Cheating, & Shitty Parents lol 

Brianna Thorne’s life is a bit messy, but really she wouldn’t have it any other way. She was born into a life of privilege that could have easily soured her personality. But somehow despite her father’s old-money name and her mother’s social-climbing obsession, Brie managed to turn out kind and loyal rather than shrewd and pretentious. Nevertheless, she worked hard to try and earn the favor of her parents and peers for many years. But she was never meant to be just a Manhattan socialite, and it took a failed wedding and an accidental pregnancy for that to actually sink in.

Brie had known since she was sixteen years old that she was going to marry Trent Carrington III. Their families were closer than close, and it was practically arranged. Though they started dating on their own in high school, it was something both families pushed them to pursue even when Brie failed to feel any kind of spark between them. But still, she was loyal and hated the idea of disappointing her family. So at twenty-four years old, she accepted his proposal. But two weeks before the wedding she walked in on him in a compromising position with her then Maid of Honor and now ex-best friend. 

Of course, she called off the wedding, but not before she wound up drunk in a bar wearing her wedding dress and confessing the whole sordid tale to anyone who would listen. Including her thousand or so followers on Instagram. That night, however, would lead to the best mistake she ever made. A one night stand with a man whose name she can’t even remember, but eyes she’ll never forget. Mostly because those eyes stare up at her every day from the love of her life, her four-year-old son Noah Thorne. After her colossal self-destruction, Brie ran away in order to “find herself”. It was Cape Hazel that started the process of healing her. It had always been one of her favorite places in the world. Her family had summered there for one year and it had never left her heart. So when she discovered she was pregnant in the place she loved so much, she decided to never go back to the shallow life she had in Manhattan. 

Her choices led to her parents cutting her off completely, but as much as it hurt there was no going back for her. They dangled her trust fund over her head in hopes it would bring her back into the fold, but she chose to lead a simpler life. Luckily she had some money from a separate trust left by her grandfather that her parents couldn’t control, but it was nowhere near the amount that she’d have gotten from her parents. Nevertheless money wasn’t important to Brie. The life she wanted to build in Cape Hazel was. So she used some of it to buy a modest little cottage as using some to put her business degree to work by buying up a quaint little coffee shop that she’d fallen in love with. She’s very hands-on when it comes to the shop and has no problem playing barista when necessary. But of course her favorite job is taking care of her son. She even made a special playroom in the back of her shop’s new location where she can keep an eye on him rather than drop him off at daycare. 

BASICALLY: This goofball of a human being has been here for about five years now after shunning her life in Manhattan. She bought the coffee shop after moving to Cape Hazel because she wanted to make an honest living, and she was already a coffee-aholic so might as well do what you love right? She has a four-year-old son named Noah that was the product of a one night stand whom she loves more than anything in the entire world. She’s super friendly and easily makes friends with anyone who is willing to tolerate her chatty albeit awkward nature. Which is to say not a lot lmao. She’s an acquired taste basically. But even with people who instantly dislike her she never gives up trying to be friendly. She’s the kind of person you absolutely want in your corner when push comes to shove. Even if it’s just to hand you a coffee and a bagel for refueling.       

A little tidbit for anyone curious, she’s loosely inspired by Lorelai Gilmore and I also get some feels regarding the song “Rockabye” by The Mayries (but it’s not an exact match lol).

I brake for birds. I rock a lot of polka dots. I have touched glitter in the last 24 hours. I spend my entire day talking to children. And I find it fundamentally strange that you’re not a dessert person. That’s just weird, and it freaks me out. And I’m sorry I don’t talk like Murphy Brown. And I hate your pantsuit. I wish it had ribbons on it or something to make it just slightly cuter. And that doesn’t mean I’m not smart and tough and strong.
