a brand new kid coming at ya!! meet miss roxanne jo, my fleety little nomad girlie who kinda just fell into hollywood?? all about her story is under the cut!
to say she didn’t have the traditional upbringing would be the understatement of the century. she was born in a trailer park in kansas to preston & delilah lockhart. preston was a traveling circus performer and her mother worked as a psychic. both of their jobs didn’t pay very well, so they spent roxanne’s childhood traveling from state to state, trying to ‘make it.’
they didn’t have much money nor were they very smart people, but wherever they lived -whether it was a trailer park or a seedy motel, was filled with nothing but love. roxanne and two sisters never felt like they had less just because they lacked material things. they learned early on that those things meant nothing in life, what mattered was doing what made you happy.
preston was passionate about making people laugh. from clown, to acrobat even to elephant tamer, he had almost every job possible in the circus and roxanne and her sisters grew up watching him in awe.
delilah was a spiritual woman - a believer in all things mystic, astrological and was a true bohemian and no one latched onto her mother’s ways more than roxanne did.
with how much they moved, they never had a set routine when it came to school, and while they did attend in order to not be taken away by cps, her parents always instilled in them that school wasn’t important and that real life experience was where they really learned.
her father tried to train her in various circus talents, but roxanne was much more interested in her mother’s profession. she loved tapping into spirituality, loved reading tarot cards and giving people guidance and sound advice based on the moon and the stars.
they became known as the traveling witches, and as they traveled from state to state, people began seeking them out, so much so that the family was able to buy an r.v where they ran their psychic business out of.
when roxanne was fourteen, the family got their biggest gig to date and were hired to run a pop up at coachella.
after being approached by a model recruiter, almost immediately, the sisters became a force in the fashion industry. they were able to buy their family a home in l.a, their mother became a psychic medium to all the big stars and their father started his very own circus, getting residencies in vegas and all over the world.
however, they were never people that let the money or fame get to them, and remained incredibly humble, grounded and grateful.
it wasn’t long until other doors of opportunity opened for them and when roxanne was eighteen, she landed her very first role on a cult classic tv show (twin peaks kinda vibes)
acting was never something that came hard to roxanne. she always thought of it as fun, getting to play pretend, to throw herself into another world. her and her siblings had to be creative as kids with the games they played, not having the fanciest toys or video games, and those skills definitely paid off for her.
she grew up watching teen shows the palmwood studios network on the staticy little tv in her family’s r.v, so when the opportunity came to play a role on one of their shows, she jumped at it, wanting to play a character that meant something to kids and teens out there.
she plays the role of melissa colby on the orange county and truly loves every second of her job and is grateful to learn from those around her. she’s a true professional and likes to leave people feeling good after any interaction they have with her.
personality wise: roxanne is a sickly sweet girl with a cute little southern accent who wouldn’t hurt a fly - but if anyone comes for her family or anyone she loves she turns into this giant mama bear and will legit kill for them. she’s very much an open pansexual and is a lover of love, which often times causes her to get burned, but she’s very much a ‘rather have loved and lost then to have never loved at all’ kinda girl and she takes everything as a lesson. she has a great reputation in the industry - known for being a pleasure to work with and everyone around her just adores her because she’s nothing but kind to everyone, even those who have hurt her and may not be the nicest to her. also like...ask her to read ur palms or ur birth chart bc she’s such a witchy little boho girlie she 100% will.
