‷ watch out , ISADORA YANG has crash-landed into roswell !! they look thirty-five years old and celebrate their birthday on august 6th . they are from dallas, texas, reside in jupiter valley and are currently working as a seamstress. one thing you should know about them is she has trained multiple girls who won the title of miss texas‷ ( olivia, she / her, twenty-two, cst )
feel free to call her is or isa ! only special people get to call her dora <3
second generation american
an only child
her parents wanted to give her the best life they could growing up since they didn’t have the great times themselves
as a child, isadora loved playing dress-up. for every halloween she wanted to be a princess
so, naturally, it only made sense for her to start beauty pageants at a young age
it wasn’t super easy as a young asian girl participating in beauty pageants in texas in the 90s, but still, isadora persisted
growing up, isadora’s family didn’t have much money. she was very lucky to have her grandmother make gowns for her pageants.
this was a skill isadora picked up throughout the years. as she grew, she began helping her grandmother more and more throughout the dress-making process.
the odds seemed pretty stacked against her going into every pageant, but she always kept a smile on her face ( the petroleum jelly really helped )
she didn’t win an official title until she was in her teens, but she won first and second runner-up on numerous occasions
she saw many of her competitors drop competitions as they got older, but she continued pageantry well into her twenties- the oldest you could be and still qualify for miss america was twenty-five, so why give up so soon?
still, she could barely qualify for the miss texas pageant. she came close a couple of years and even made it one year, but didn’t end up winning the title.
having been in pageants, isadora took many classes in etiquette and proper manners. pinkies up, perfect posture- she doesn’t swear, even to this day.
as much as she wanted to neglect school for competitions, her parents put an emphasis on her grades. ❝ BEAUTY FADES ❞ or whatever. she did alright- nothing amazing, but she wasn’t failing. on average, a B student.
never got a degree. took a couple college courses in things like cooking ( to keep herself alive ) and sewing ( to improve her craft )
as she paid her way through those classes, she was sewing on the side for some extra money. she will make custom outfits or do tailoring. just ask!!
after she aged out of pageantry, she went on to mentor young girls who had an interest themselves. she would help girls of any age and did her best to instill confidence in the girls she was working with. “if you don’t believe it, the judges won’t.”
when she turned thirty, she was worried dallas didn’t have much left to offer her. she went off searching for something better and landed here in roswell. she’s been here ever since.
now, you can find her teaching her own etiquette classes (both in person and online) or sewing up a storm in her apartment.
in general, she’s usually very happy. she can seem stuck-up, but she’s slowly trying to undo the properness she’s grown up accustomed to.
even though her parents weren’t typical pageant parents, she did put a lot of pressure on herself to look her best. she’s toned down the glam makeup a lot, but she has never left her house without any sort of makeup on her face
OK I’M VERY BAD AT WANTED CONNECTIONS BUT HERE ARE SOME BELOW:
some people she knew back in texas perhaps ! she lived in dallas but probably traveled a lot for competitions and all that
maybe some youngins she may have trained / work with!!! shes been in roswell 5 years so probably some of the younger characters may work for this??? idk!!!
her neighbors!! she lives in jupiter valley so hit her up !
anyone who needs her to work her seamstress magic!!! whether its always needing alterations or asking for custom clothes she does it all!!
those r bad and very basic but!!! i am better at brainstorming so mwah hit me up !!!
