CURRENTLY.
cecilya was able to see her son a handful of times after his adoptive parents made contact with her in november 2021 and allowed her to have contact.
cecilya’s mother died in december 2021 resulting in her siblings having to go home and inheriting the entire estate between them. cecilya does not talk about her mother and has not properly dealt with her death or the resulting issues, preferring to focus on the present & ignore this completely.
cecilya is currently dating both cassidy and bodhi after ending up in a complicated situation where neither of them wanted to commit to her but both seemed to want to be with her. this arrangement is worked out between the three of them, however they both have individual agreements and understandings.
she has recently changed her major from fashion design to event planning after numerous issues in the fashion department with other students and their behaviour. alas, the show must go on ... without cecilya.
PERSONALITY.
will say pretty much anything to anyone, is a bit unfiltered and often quite brash and inappropriate. doesn’t really think through the things that come out of her mouth but doesn’t mean any harm.
a bit dramatic, cries easily and over pretty much anything. she has extreme reactions over the smallest thing but if the whole world is falling apart or something really bad is happening then you wouldn’t know because she just carries on like normal.
not the smartest but she’s very passionate about the things she likes and believes in and never gives up.
a weak ass bitch, you could pretty much do anything to her and she’ll at least want to forgive you. she never puts herself first even if she has a complex about being selfish due to her past behaviour.
no boundaries, very over friendly and tactile, touches people without thinking about it but also totally respectful if told that someone doesn’t like it / feel comfortable. she goes out of her way to accommodate whatever other people want / need rather than herself.
BACKGROUND.
TRIGGER WARNINGS: TOXIC RELATIONSHIPS, DOMESTIC ABUSE, ADOPTION, DEATH.
cecilya was the last of three siblings born to a couple in ankara, turkey. the family seemed pretty run of the mill in terms of her mother being a pretty young woman who looked great in family pictures and her father being a very successful businessman – it was a family business passed on through patriarchs.
at three years old cecilya was uprooted and the whole family moved over to LONDON, ENGLAND for greener business pastures. cecilya and her mother were very close and she was her fathers little girl, forever treated like a baby in comparison to her brother and sister, azra and demir.
around her 12th birthday, the arslans had a young boy called max come to live with them. for a long time cecilya didn’t really understand why max was there but he became a part of the family in every way including name. he, like cecilya, was just another outsider who was not allowed any involvement with any of the business affairs of the family or anything of consequence. around the same time, she began to really realise that she was just an accessory; even to her siblings she was just an annoying gnat flying buzzing around.
TW ADOPTION. when cecilya was in her late teen years, she became pregnant with her son JOVI. after the birth of the boy, cecilya began to see for the first time what a terrible person her father was. he convinced her to give up her son in order to continue being the perfect daughter that he wanted for himself.
things between her parents seemed to grow worse and worse by the day, the rose tinted glasses were off. she was realising that the superficial surface was all a lie, that things had never been quite as they seemed to her but she had been blinded by her picture perfect world.
TW DOMESTIC ABUSE. the family home had once seemed at least somewhat inviting to her but now her world was blown to pieces, she felt like she was constantly searching in the dark for something that still functioned. she looked to her mother and saw an empty void, she looked to her brother and sister and saw bitterness and rage and when she looked at herself she didn’t see anything at all.
around 2017 cecilya’s father went on a business trip that he never returned from, the family churned away and pretended like there was no problem. cecilyas mother was very withdrawn the longer that went by and eventually he was assumed to have either left or died overseas.
the family plunged into chaos with both siblings fighting viciously over which of them deserved to lead the family business, tooth and nail for the victory. long story short, plunged into chaos, the arslans set out to destroy one another and little old max ran way into the sunset hoping for a better life away from their fiery wrath of personalities.
