if i die, i'm suing all of you.

Orientation: Undecided

Pacifica is well aware of her attraction to girls, but she has no intention of labelling it. That would mean admitting it. Though LGBT+ rights were widely accepted across the station, even by her parents, having a daughter who was part of that community had never been part of the Northwest plan. Pacifica had moulded her life around her parent’s wishes, and a future (wealthy) husband had always been one of those. She’s come this far, it would be stupid to ruin everything now.

Modifications: Advanced augmentations

The Northwest’s made sure to give their little girl the best Augmentations their money could buy, but when it came to genetic modifications, they seemed to have different ideas. Outwardly, Preston and Priscilla Northwest scoffed at the idea of scientifically improving their child’s abilities. That child would’ve been a Northwest anyways, and you can’t improve what would already be perfect.

Truth be told, the only reason they didn’t buy into genetic modification is because they didn’t have the funds. State of the art First Ring technology isn’t something you can afford with your spare change, even if you are, arguably, some of richest people in the Second Ring. But despite speculation, the Northwest’s continue to insist it was simply their choice.

Miscellaneous Details: 

Pacifica’s ‘staple’ blonde hair actually comes from a dye job.

Residence: Second Ring

Occupation: Business Student

Background:

When politics were first established on the Aeterno, so were the Northwest’s. Their family represented the station’s Second Ring as some of it’s first Senates and Governors. Eventually, their successors strayed from government careers, but they still managed to stay prominent in the ring. And that prominence was something that Preston and Priscilla Northwest took very seriously. They seen everyone with an income lower then their own as lesser. To them, that was the way to maintain their high status, despite not yet being able to make the move to the next ring up. Mr. Northwest may have been a decent business man, but he was far from resourceful. He was too busy wasting their money on looking good in the Second Ring, to have savings enough to advance them to First.

When their daughter Pacifica came along, they decided to raise her to be as flawless as they believed themselves to be. Her look was always polished, her attitude was always sharp, and she was never allowed to stray from perfection. The expectations and pressure they had put this girl under were very unhealthy, but their daughter would never complain. Not only because of the consequences that would come with it, but because Pacifica would never stoop to seeming weak.

The critiques were never constructive and the compliments were usually backhanded, but Pacifica did end up learning a lot from her parent’s teaching’s. She learned about her insecurities and how she had to do everything to hide them. She learned that there were no mistakes or losses when it came to being a Northwest. And she learned how to put everyone else down in an attempt to see herself rise. She had to be better then everybody, and an easy way to do that was to use her words. When she felt inadequate, angry, stressed, or scared, all Pacifica had to do was take it out on others, turn the table and find their weak points instead. It wasn’t the right thing to do, and sometimes she even realized this, but it’s what she trained herself to do. If she didn’t always feel the best, she was going to make sure everybody else thought she did.  

Three or more Head canons:

1. For Pacifica, a business degree was merely another accessory. She agreed to attend only because it was what her parents wanted. And truthfully, she knew the plan had been to show off that the Northwest’s had enough money to further their daughter’s education as Second Ring residents.

2: Her appearance is something that she has always kept a watchful eye over. Her ‘coffee’ order is a black tea, on a night out she drinks red wine, and tries to keep her carb intake to a minimum. She commits to routine cardio and fits yoga in whenever she can. And don’t even get her started about her skin care routine…      

3: When she was younger, Pacifica had racked up many trophies for their small-town beauty pageants, so much so that she had managed to attend one in the First Ring. When asked about it, her mother boasts about the experience, but in reality, the family felt quite embarrassed by it. Instead of being treated as their equals, the Northwest’s believed they were only accepted as a charity case. The experience ended up knocking the family down a peg, but they never did change their ways because of it.

4: Pacifica was taught to view lower class Second Ring citizen’s as inferior, but Outer Ringers were people she was never to associate with. The stories and stereotypes she was fed are enough to keep her far away from the likes of that part of the station.

5: Pacifica’s pride stops her from doing a lot of the things… Like singing at a karaoke bar. It’s something she know she could make cool if she wanted to, but it had already been dubbed dorky and childish by her peers. Singing like that was something she could get away with as a child, but now that she was older she had to take life more seriously.
