BACKSTORY.
born in the heart of new york city, it was no surprise that arden developed a love for all things creative. drawing became her first love, right after she figured out how much more detail she could add to a page when she colored outside the lines. most of her life was spent with her sister and a nanny that was ever changing until they found one their father wouldn't give a second glance. the rhodes' girl were taught to keep bettering themselves, that that was the reason their mother was never around instead of a crumbling marriage. her parents were still married to this day, though looking inside their "happy" home you'd find them in two separate bedrooms not wanting to entertain a scandal that would attach to the headline of divorce. every family had their issues, arden decided it'd be best to distance herself from all of them — starting with college. the blonde landed herself a comfy spot studying abroad in paris, france — she didn't care enough to know if her father had paid them off or they'd actually saw talent within her sketchbook, either way she'd gotten the escape she craved. there she met a man who seemed to adore her from the very moment they locked eyes in a crowded pub, vincent was everything her parents relationship was not until she found him ripping pages out of her sketchbook and whatever money he could pocket from her bedside table. arden didn't want to believe it, that the fairy tale she'd made in her head was just as fake as the relationship she'd seen her entire life. again she ran, throwing her sketchbook into her fireplace before using the last of her saved money to get her a flight — but not home. it's been five years since she'd talked to anyone from new york, instead she threw herself head first into everything hidehill, tennessee had to offer — she could thank the dart on the map for that. she's found a new form of art to love ... body art — well piercings and she didn't expect to love it as much as she does. though it isn't uncommon to spot the blonde doodling away on a bar napkin as she waits for the next round to arrive.
