( margaret qualley, cis female, muse f ) oh snap ! is that BLAIR SHAPIRO? they work over at high volume where some of the other employees have labeled them as THE FACADE. that’s probably because they can be a bit ( vivacious ) but also pretty ( impetuous. ) they’re 24 and they’ve been living in woodstock for ALL THEIR LIFE...MOSTLY. it must be their shift because i totally hear ELVIS PRESLEY blasting from the record store. ( smoking a joint by the dumpsters on break, ripped black tights with beat-up converse, smudged black eyeliner, & the smell of smoke and whiskey ) [ KATI, 24, EST, SHE/HER ]

drug use tw.
blair was an accident. when lila and geoff were 48 and 52 respectively, they’d figured they were all dried up and done. they had three kids that they’d just about put through college and they figured the next children in their lives would be…grandchildren. until lila discovered that she was pregnant with blair – a miracle ! but not exactly part of their perfect plan, no.
so, blair was not born into a traditional home. lila and geoff’s parenting style was…absent, to say the least. they knew not to panic over much, they didn’t hover, and blair pretty much had free reign. despite having three siblings, they were older and moved out, so…blair’s earliest years were rather lonely. she spent a lot of time making up games for herself, coming up with her own things to do.
blair was a liar, but a good one. on the playground, she would often spin wild tales about herself and her family, how she was a lost princess, the way she’d been possessed by a demon last week, or the ghost that lived in her attic. they were mostly harmless lies, but often times, kids had trouble differentiating what was true and what was false about blair. sometimes, blair did too.
blair always had a lot of different hobbies to keep herself busy, and she has a lot of strange talents. she can probably solve a rubix cube faster than anyone you know, she’s great at knitting, and has a real way with watercolors. she gets in her head that she wants to learn something and becomes obsessed with it for a while. when she feels like she’s mastered it, she becomes bored and drops it, so she’s good at a lot of things but not GREAT.
blair had her first cigarette when she was eleven, and she started smoking pot soon after. it was only up from there as the years went on and she started experimenting with coke and psychedelics, really for the adventure of it all. the buzz kills the boredom, and when she goes out, she knows how to be the life of the party. most people regard her as a bit weird, but in an oddly charming way, and she knows how to work that to her advantage.
that said, she’s an absolute hazard. lack of friends meant lack of people to look after her when she got out of control.
when she was eighteen, she packed up her things and moved to LA. she had it in her mind – she was going to be an actress. it was her latest obsession, at least, and it sounded like the perfect adventure. blair’s genuinely talented, but also has a knack for falling in with seedy people. when she was there, she met a man who offered to get her in on a pilot – he said he could make her a star. you know how these things go. it was a literal trip infused with sex, drugs, and booze, slumming it in this older man’s apartment with…a few other girls, too. whatever shitty pilot they pulled together was never picked up.
it was the night that things went too far that sent her packing. fucked out of her mind, one of the girls she lived with was was convulsing on the floor, in need of medical attention. she nearly died, and blair was the one who got her to the hospital. blair was the only one there for this girl in the waiting room, and she hardly knew her. she realized that would be her if the tables were turned – she had NO ONE, and she missed woodstock. she missed having people.
not much scares blair, but it was an awakening that sent her packing for home for the time being, spinning elaborate tails of how amazing it was in hollywood and the great show they’d been filming – and how all of those old hollywood men were just not clever enough to understand the avant garde concepts of the show.
blair has been back in woodstock for almost a year now, but she only recently started back at high volume. maybe with some slight ambition of getting out of her parent’s house.
she says she’ll go back someday but deep down she knows she’s not going anywhere. she smokes a joint by the dumpsters on her break, and spends weeks on her latest obsession. right now, it’s gardening. blair says she’s fine being alone, but the primary motivation for a lot of her mistakes is wanting acceptance, approval, and wanting to fit in.
personality.
VIVACIOUS. to put it simply, an interaction with blair can be pretty memorable – she’s animated in her speech, full of life and excitement for what she’s passionate about, although equally annoyed and quick to anger when something bothers her. essentially, she puts all of herself into whatever the flavor of the moment is, but she’s high-spirited and definitely has the kind of stature that commands attention in a room.
IMPETUOUS. impulsive to a fault, blair has been known to act quickly without care. she’s headstrong and moves quick, a torrential person who isn’t afraid to march to the beat of her own drum whenever it suits her. this sort of heedless and reckless behavior has been known to get her into some trouble or even lead to some REGRETS, but blair will never change because she’d rather make a few mistakes than allow herself to be left wondering.
EASILY BORED/DISSATISFIED. blair’s attention is fickle as all hell, always jumping from one thing to the next. she might change conversation topics quickly, she goes through hobbies like outfits, and will lose interest if something doesn’t challenge her. it almost seems like she’s constantly looking for the next thing, which is a cruel irony for a girl who’s just found herself back where she started.
ADVENTUROUS. always up for a good time, you can trust blair to be open to trying anything at least once. and even then, she’ll try a failed plan again just to make sure it really doesn’t work. blair is open-minded, down for new ideas and experiences, and she’ll try to convince you to join her. i think it would be easy to describe her as BOLD.
DISHONEST. see, if you do something with blair, don’t be surprised if the story she tells afterward doesn’t exactly match up with what happened. blair will embellish on the details of her life with a certain amount of creative freedom. mostly, the way blair lies is pretty harmless, she’s just trying to make her life seem more exciting or better to herself, but it can really rub people the wrong way.
FUN-LOVING. for all the...deterimental aspects of hanging out with blair, it’s hard to deny that there’s a certain charm about hanging out with someone who just wants to have a good time and wants you to have fun, too. you could probably get the sense that something exciting is going to happen when blair is around, and that’s partially because she invites it or even causes it.
headcanons.
has really old-fashioned taste in things because of her parents and older siblings. so, her likes are more from like the 40s-60s in terms of music and films.
favorite movie is vertigo.
still lives at home. she keeps saying she’s going to move out, but she keeps blowing her paychecks on drugs and other stupid shit. she’s super impulsive and if she sees something she likes, she’s going to buy it immediately.
still thinks about being an actress, and would still like to do it. one of her better party tricks is doing impressions ? she can do lots of different voices and impersonate celebrities. she is good at getting in character.
any time she’s where nobody knows her, she will always pretend to be someone else. at a club, at a party, or even sometimes to random customers that come into the store. she’ll give herself a random name and a personality. she loves to do accents.
never got very good grades in school, barely skated by graduating, i feel like she got held back a year at a young age like when reading starts to be a thing. she has dyslexia, but it wasn’t diagnosed until she was in the fourth or fifth grade because no one was really…paying attention. they just thought she was too hyperactive to be able to focus on reading.
got into mixology for a bit so she can make a damn good drink. however, she loves to mix all sorts of things and make up her own drinks as well. those are…hit or miss.
loves to dance ! put any music on and she will be dancing around the store.
not very good at small talk and hey how are yas. essentially, she lacks tact and will jump right into whatever she wants to talk to you about. and if she doesn’t want to talk to you…she won’t. very blunt.
birthday is nov. 18 !! a scorpio baby and she has the unhinged bold n possessive nature to proe it.
