Poppy was born and raised in Nova Scotia up until she turned 13, in which her family relocated to Monaco for her fatherâs business. Her mother was often away on travel due to her modelling career.
As a child, Poppy was quite the dramatic spirit, always breaking out into some form of character when the chance presented itself, part of it was due to negligence from her parents, the other was just that she was constantly watching soap operas with the house staff as they did more parenting than anyone. She also had a nanny.
Her nanny saw the best in her, and even managed to sign her up for acting classes, giving Poppy an outlet and a place to just be herself and connect with kids her age, something she hadnât done previously despite being at school, something about the private school kids didnât click with her.
Later in life, Poppy became an actress, mostly starring in small indie-esque productions in Monaco, but eventually making her way into some single episodes in the US. But still, she wasnât making enough to live the life she wanted without her parentsâ help.
She fell into a string of bad relationships, dating men that only cared about having someone attractive on their arm, and in doing so, fell into a superficial crowd. This led to her falling behind in getting acting gigs and becoming just a mess..
But after her most recent engagement fell through in a huge scandal, she turned to her manager who was very close to giving up on her. He offered her one last chance, so long as she did what he said, and that was to move to Nova Scotia as there was a supposed writer working on a movie inspired by the mysterious deaths. It just so happened the town was where sheâd grown up before the big move.
Was your character born and raised here? If so- why havenât they left town? If not- what brought them to town?
They were, up until they turned 13. They left initially because of their fatherâs job blossoming and relocating him to Monaco, as well as her motherâs, but stayed away due to their career and lifestyle choices. Their reason for returning was quite abrupt, but out of desperation to take back her career and life.
How does your character feel about the drownings? Do they think itâs accidental thing or a conspiracy? Please explain position.
Poppy obviously sees them as tragic, but they havenât read much into them, aside from getting a feel for the different people around town. What she has yet to realize is that one of the victims was a cousin she spent time with as a child.
What is your characterâs favourite thing or place about or around town? And why?
One of the places is the public market, she always adored going into town back in Monaco with her nanny for groceries, and being around the fruit vendors and such takes her back to those fond times.
