— && if you’re hearing ELEANOR RIGBY by THE BEATLES playing, you have to know KIARA ZHAO-MONROE (she/her; cis female) is near by! the 24 year old POET has been in denver for, like, 2 ½ YEARS. they’re known to be quite NON COMMITTAL, but being CHARASMATIC seems to balance that out. or maybe it’s the fact that they resemble CHASE SUI WONDERS. personally, i’d love to know more about them seeing as how they’ve got those BLOOMNG BUTTERFLYWEED, HAIR HALF FALLING FROM A BUN, OLD PARCHMENT, THROWING A DIABOLO INTO THE AIR, LATE NIGHT LATTE vibes. and maybe i’ll get my chance if i hang out around the UNIVERSITY long enough!
check out her stats and info below !!

bio
tw: mentions of parental infidelity
kiara was born in a small apartment above a take out restaurant, but when she was 3 years old, her father gave her mother a large sum of money to basically absolve his parental responsibilty. they moved from their tiny apartment to a large house with an even larger yard and kiana was able to take part in any hobby, any skill, any trip she wanted to be apart of. at the time, it was a tough ajustment but they were better off without her bio dad and she was able to fully embrace her mother’s family, both by blood and by love.
spending her childhood and teen years running around a large astate, identifing butterflies and flowers and walsting around their local art gallery, imagining the history behind each piece (the real history be damned), kiara became close with her cousins and also the adults in her life. she seemed so mature and smart at such a young age. she was involved in environmental conservation, planting trees and removing local invasive species. kiara values nature and wants to keep her impact on the world on a positive note.
using the library computer, she looked her father up and found out that a) she had been born when he was still married to his ex-wfie, her mother’s now close friend and b) he had remarried and basically replaced her and her mother with a new little family. if she disliked him for his absent role in her life before, these feelings only hightened after seeing this online.
after highschool, she had graduated with high enough marks to get a partial scholarship to many of the colleges she had applied to. kiara decided to go to Columbia University and graduaded with an MFA in Creative Writing. Now, looking to further her writing career and her education experience, she applied for a Masters program at the University of Denver. she wanted some place away from home but with something familar and knowing her old family friend was living here was the perfect amount of freedom and support she needed.
headcannons/fun facts about kiara!
she loves poetry, especially structured poetry! she loves learning about history, languages, art.
