►     ACT  I.     ⸺  you're young and you're precious, hearts big as texas ...

rory doesn't remember his birth parents, but the story goes like this: teenage mother gets handed a bad deal, does what she thinks is best and puts her baby up for adoption. this is how he lands smack dab in the middle of 12 children — their own version of cheaper by the dozen, though desperately wanted and loved regardless of the amount of mouths to feed. sava was a preschool teacher at the montessori school that had opened up, leaving his job at the combined elementary school at the start of the new year. isaac was a semi-heir to a construction company, but he created an offshoot of his own, marchisio tools and lumber, which is kind like a home depot or lowes but focuses on area-owned and local businesses. they eventually expanded into 15 stores across new england, but their main shop is in goshen.

the family business – more offshoots concerning construction and home improvement, for some reason found itself in florida; then found itself building its station in ciderpoint by the time rory was less than a year old, and he hasn't left since — the family crowding into a actually decent sized house (but is any house decent enough for 12 people???) and begining to build roots here.

rory doesn't remember a time where he wasn't ridiculously doted upon; despite the sheer amount of siblings (and some that would come and go, as they were foster parents after all), he never felt slighted or ignored. with every person who would come or go, the love in the house seemed to get bigger. they weren't exactly flush with cash, but they were rich in love or whatever bullshit his dads liked to say. the children were encouraged to express themselves, moreso of a hands-off kind of parenting, willing to let them reap the consequences (as long as they weren't too dire – they could get a stomach ache from eating a whole box of gummies, but they weren't about to allow being in the back of cop cars). if this is a logical choice or because they had their hands full already is not here nor there, because his dads always showed up when he needed them.

►     ACT II.     ⸺  this is the story of my life and i think i'm finally getting it ...

rory is free spirited in the same way a golden retriever is — inhibitions don't exist, and he's willing to try anything once as long as it's not scary. childhood was spent playing in their hand-made treehouses, ‘fishing’ in the streams on their various acre home land and attending his older siblings sporting and other events. he's not the worlds brightest bulb, but he tries his best to be a good person at the very least. always trotting around behind his older siblings or holding a baby to his hip, the family is exceptionally close. taught empathy, humility and maybe too little personal space boundaries.

he's put into all sorts of activities, if not by his interest, than wanting to be the same as his older siblings (who he idolizes lowkey). from music, arts & crafts to sports – which he stuck with football all the way up until high school ended – there was nothing his parents didn't try to make stick. rory is a jack of all trades; good at some, best at none. his attention span lacks in ambition and he gets halfway through a project before it's abandoned. he has good intentions, but the actualities leave many things to be desired. there's no real drama; his life is actually kind of idyllic, which only serves him to attempt to grow into a good person — he's not perfect, and he struggles, particularly with dealing with social situations (diagnosed autism when he's 13), and tends to just be kind of out there. this, in his family at least, was never something to be ashamed of — always taught to embrace his quirks and differences, rory carries this with him; an unabashed sense of self, hoping to spread it to everyone else, too. everyone is a friend and deserves a friend (unless they're mean - but they still deserve love).

he stays in town all of his life; rory doesn't mind this. his mind doesn't wander to what else could be out there. he's settling roots of his own; investing in his future in a short-lived college career (for childhood education, he loves kids) and dropping out within 6 months because.. he's not fit for school. instead, due to the nature of his parents business, he starts as a ranch hand at bianchi farms - doing farmer things because he's more of a physical worker than anything else.

►     ACT III.     ⸺  this aint watertown & i'm on some alien ground ...

CAR  ACCIDENT,  BRAIN  INJURY  TW        it was june 2025. the  day  was  typical.  sunny,  late  june,  and  rory  was  heading  home  —  it  wasn't  some  big  thing.  rory  was  driving  through  an  intersection,  younger  brother  in  the  passenger  seat,  then  he  woke  up  with  his  dads  crying  faces  in  his  face.  there's  no  memory,  no  recollection  of  what  happened.  rory  has  never  asked.  the  idea  of  facing  that  head  on  is  already  too  much,  and  he  was  in  the  hospital  for  days.  it  was  kind  of  boring,  really,  because  everybody  kept  coming  to  check  on  him,  but  they  kept  looking  at  him  weird.  his  little  brother  –  tanner,  who's  21  —  was  fine.  rory  knows  he  took  the  brunt  of  whatever  happened.

things  were  fine.  then  they  weren't  fine.  constant  forgetfulness,  lack  of  organization,  lack  of  general  functionality  were  all  big  signs.  rory  knows  something  happened,  and  he's  not  stupid.  the  doctor's  say  it  fucked  up  his  frontal  lobe,  something  something  impact,  but  he  doesn't  like  to  hear  it.  very  dismissive,  ignores  all  of  his  problems  in  favor  of  trying  to  get  his  life  ‘back  to  normal’.  and  he  tries,  but  it  doesn't  work  how  he  wants  it  to.  continues  to  miss  work  on  accident,  loose  things  (couldn't  find  his  keys  he  left  in  his  car  for  3  days),  starting  to  pick  fights  with  people  after  blowing  up  at  them.  it's gotten better, now, but not perfect.

he changed jobs to something less laborious — animal handler instead, as he loves animals regardless. currently apart of a channel with his friends finding spooky mysteries and it brings him more joy to have a purpose, something fun, to do — constantly worries about how he's perceived after it all. wonders if people are treating him differently, but not enough to notice. doesn't want to be treated any differently just because something happened, but can't verbalize this. becomes upset (sometimes without reason) when he thinks this is happening — always feels bad after, but he's trying his best. there's been a lot of changes in the past year.

►     EXTRAS.     ⸺  in my generation, in my constellation ; moon & saturn ...

nickname  rory  comes  from  when  he  was  a  toddler  and  couldn't  pronounce  his  own  name.  no  one  ever  really  bothered  to  correct  him  –  too  endeared,  i  guess,  but  that's  what  he  goes  by.  rowan  is  only  really  used  if  he's  in  trouble  or  someone  is  trying  to  get  his  attention. 

obsessed with love and weddings -- tries to set his friends up which ends up horribly because ??? bro, relax. will take things the extra mile and start planning his friends weddings in his head, dates and locations and all. should probably go into that as a career ngl. sometimes he gets so hyperfixated on this for some reason (he wants love).

is also an insane blabbermouth. DO NOT TELL HIM ANYTHING — his brain is kind of a defunct game of telephone at this point, he gets things confused and facts mixed. he will make more mistakes than humanly possibly because of this. he will spread the rumors you tell him with earnest (doesn't realize he's not supposed to) and then be confused why people are upset with him.

he's a bit of a lag behind; slow on the uptake, but he'll get there eventually. he's exceptionally great at research, and is a semi-good teacher depending on the subject. thinks in abstracts and word associations more than anything else, and some people find it weird or off putting. it's just how his mind always works. color coordinates sometimes and other times he just choses comfort over everything; is a terrible multi-texter due to his thoughts lapsing from either thinking too hard or taking a dial-up minute. i promise he's trying lmao give him a bit

the worlds sweetest guy; in elementary school, was given the award of everyone's friend which is just about his biggest description. confrontation makes him nervous and he tries to keep the peace whenever he can. anxious when people are upset, or thinks they're upset, and tries to do anything to make sure it's all smoothed over by the end of the day. kind of annoying about it ngl

is  the  middle  child  of  12  —  exactly  number  #6,  and  it  shows.  he's  very  go  with  the  flow,  letting  things  happen  kind  of  guy.  he's  so  used  to  bending  to  the  whims  of  others  that  he's  never  really  had  much  of  a  chance  to  explore  his  own  wants  or  needs  in  a  meaningful  way.  slowly  starting  to  do  that  now  that  his  life  isn't  based  around  his  family  but  still  experiences  decision  paralysis,  which  makes  things  hard.

BRAIN INJURY, SEIZURE TW     /      tbi  has  been  …  not  great.  officially  diagnosed,  but  belated  and  begrudgedly.  struggles  a  lot  with  light  and  noise  sensitivity,  organizing  information  and  making  sure  he  fully  understands  what's  going  on.  all  over  the  place  despite  trying  to  keep  it  still,  sometimes  his  sentences  don't  make  sense.  lots  of  reminders  in  his  phone  (forgets  to  make  them)  and  in  his  house  (forgets  to  write  them). gets  a  lot  of  headaches  but  can  work  through  them  for  the  most  part.  has  developed  focal  impaired  awareness  seizures  due  to  the  accident,  but  tries  not  to  show  anyone; these  don't  have  any  known  triggers,  and  can  happen  at  any  time.  people  just  think  his  memory  is  lapsing. definitely  does  not  let  people  know  when  he's  struggling  —  he's  the  'happy  guy'. 

loves  animals.  eventually  will  probably  be  working  at  a  non-profit  for  them  or  a  shelter  of  some  kind.  trying  to  convince  oliver  to  adopt  more  cats,  but  he  just  has  his  beloved  golden  retriever  named  liberty  who  joins  him at literally every place he can get her in; it's weird if liberty is not by his side. she is very very very beloved and often referred to as his daughter - he takes her care very seriously. more than his own. she's  3  years  old  and  the  love  of  his  life,  only  accepting  applications  for  her  step  parent  thank  you!

he  is  not  the  brightest  bulb  –  brain  injury  notwithstanding  –  but  he  means  well.  instilled  in  him  since  babyhood  to  be  a  good  person,  do  good  by  people  and  make  sure  your  crew  is  taken  care  of.  fiercely  protective  of  his  friends  and  family.  trying  to  branch  out  and  work  on  himself  and  grow  a  bit  of  a  backbone  but  it's  slow  going.  a  very  very  lovey  puppydog  kind  of  guy.  big  dog  who  thinks  he's  small  enough  to  fit  in  your  lap  kind  of  deal.

weirdly  obsessed  w/  collectables.  his  grandparents  used  to  watch  them  as  kids,  and  his  meemaw  would  show  him  hers  and  talk  about  her  beanie  babies.  he  thinks  theyre  soooooooooo  cute.  the  idea  of  selling  them  sends  him  into  a  homocidal  rage. 

►     CONNECTS.     ⸺  you know i'll go if you go if you're cool with that ...

family — adopted siblings, former foster siblings, cousins, by - marriage: the marchisio's are a big family regardless of how you slice it — i like to imagine they planted a lot of roots, so i think it would be fun to have some family afoot. open to really anything, including siblings of his parents (nephew rorybear..), and not-related-but-might-as-well-be!   i have a really specific wanted connection for an older sibling (think they were kind of opposites, so they had some kind of fight before this sibling left town) but after his accident, they returned for support, now they have a weird kind of limbo happening. 

adults (non-fx):  roommates!! this would be relatively new, as i think rory would want to get out from his dads' house due to .. everything that changed. i like to think they're a silly bunch of people who do silly little things. 

ex friends: they used to be as thick as thieves until something happened. plenty more to be plotted.

antagonistic connections!!!!: give me people who think rory's annoying, maybe he spread an accidental rumor and fucked their shit up, maybe they have beef with his siblings, etc etc.

now i curse your acqua di gio:  these guys were exes, and something happened — i like to imagine it was some kind of puppy-love high school thing, but they both kind of fell face-first and fast, but the relationship ended just as quickly. 

who do i call now?:  this person and rory were … something. he's not sure if they ever were officially something, but they were extremely close, and at a weird point of ‘emotionally together’  and acting like they were dating without the label. at a certain point, they became fraught, and their tether broke - now they're kind of in that weird i'm mad at you limbo. 

STATISTICS:

full name: ariella aurora pascua

nicknames: no nicknames she hates them bad, she'll tell you her mother gave her a name for a reason ♡

birthday: march 17, 1992

hometown: scarsdale, new york

occupation: owner of craft corner @ the galleria

hobbies: junk journaling, scrap booking, amigurumi making

lives: ocean avenue

trigger warnings: religion, death, grief

following a whim and dreams of becoming a wall street stock broker, henry pascua packed up and moved his wife across the world from pinili, ilocos norte to brooklyn, new york. it doesn't take long for the couple to begin solidifying a life there, aira pascua becoming pregnant with their daughter just a year later. it's when ariella aurora pascua is born that her father starts working in overtime, spending the first five years of her life mostly absent ( but only in physiciality ). as he would continue to reiterate to her well into adult life: the sacrifice was worth it. by the time ariella begins elementary school, her family is moving to the upper west side to ensure her enrollment in the best private catholic school.

her schooling goes by in a haze of routine: wake up two hours before school to finish chores and study, attend school for eight hours, extra curriculars from five to seven, dinner, chores, schoolwork, repeat. by the time she's in third grade they're moving to scarsdale, entering a new tax bracket that her father swears hinges on her dedication to success. when she reaches new york university she'll find that most people she meets didn't have the same upbringing, but she's thankful for the structure and discipline her parent's rigid routine has given her. routine is the foundation of success, after all, and pascua's are born for success. it's her freshman year roommate that starts chipping away at her walls, gaining her trust through random acts of kindess, and allowing silence and boundaries where other's would've pushed her away.

the more she lets her in, the more she feels herself blossom. before she knows it she's spending time with her roommates' friends ( and would even consider calling them friends of her own ), and taking up creative hobbies she never would've considered before. junk journaling and scrapbooking become her favorite weekend pastime, but her roommate manages to drag her out every third saturday for a night on the town. during her sophomore year, and after a particularly tense phone call with her mother, she decides her hobbies are too lucrative not to profit off of and opens her own etsy shop called craft corner. there she sells junk journaling and scrapbooking kits, funding the nights her roommate drags her out. it's on one of her scheduled breaks that she meets her soon to be fiancee, swept into a whirlwind of romance and softening more than she thought she'd be capable of.

it's through her relationship that she finds herself building a community for the first time in her life, a group of people that truly see her and believe in her. she earns her bachelors in business administration and all of the pieces seem to be falling in place for her. landing a steady job at a business consulting firm is her logical next step, though she keeps her etsy business running ( purely because it's lucrative, because she can't admit she loves it ). at twenty-five her boyfriend proposes, and she swears life can't get any better than that. they spent a year and a half in premarital bliss before the unthinkable happens, her fiancee losing his life in a tragic accident just six months before their wedding.

the next year and a half are spent in a grief filled haze, all of the friends she'd grown to cherish pushed away one by one. the tragedy reminds her of what she's always known: the only thing you can count on is work and your parents. it doesn't take long for her to end up back under their roof, rebuilding herself from the ground up. on her twenty-eighth birthday, she decides she's had enough, that she can't heal in the same place she broke. on a whim that feels foreign to her, she packs up her things and sets off driving. she doesn't have a destination in mind, just the need to be far, far away.

1. basic information

☆ nickname(s): lessi (family only), alia (close friends) ☆ date of birth: september 18th, 1995 (30 years old, virgo) ☆ languages: italian (native), english (fluent), french (conversational) ☆ orientation: bisexual ☆ status: single — publicly complicated, privately unresolved ☆ birthplace: milan, italy ☆ hometown connection: cider point has been a second home to alessia for as long as she can remember. born in milan to an italian father and a mother originally from cider point, her life has always existed between two worlds. she spent her childhood moving between italy and the small coastal town; school years in milan, summers and holidays surrounded by familiar streets, family traditions, and the people who knew her before her name carried any weight. although she built her career elsewhere, alessia has returned to cider point throughout her life, making her connection to the town span nearly thirty years on and off. ☆ education: studied communications, luxury branding, and media strategy before entering the world of celebrity relations and image consulting ☆ occupation: socialite & luxury pr consultant (primarily out of town) ☆ notable work: celebrity image management, luxury brand campaigns, event coordination, reputation rebuilding, and private consulting for high-profile clients

2. appearance

☆ faceclaim: valentina zenere ☆ hair: alternates between black and blonde (currently blonde). usually styled in soft waves or a sleek blowout, rarely seen without looking perfectly composed ☆ eyes: blue, expressive and inviting at first glance, though there's always a sense that she reveals only what she intends to ☆ height: 5'5" ☆ style: silk blouses, tailored trousers, satin dresses, structured handbags, delicate gold jewelry, designer sunglasses, and carefully chosen pieces that appear effortless but never accidental. alessia dresses like someone who understands that presentation is power. ☆ notable details: always wears a signature perfume, keeps her nails perfectly manicured, collects vintage jewelry, and has a habit of fixing her appearance whenever she feels emotionally exposed

3. personality

☆ character archetypes: the social architect. the perfectionist. the woman behind the curtain. ☆ inspirations: blair waldorf (gossip girl), olivia pope (scandal), maddy perez (euphoria), emily thorne (revenge) ☆ deadly sin: pride ☆ heavenly virtue: ambition ☆ mbti: ENTJ — the commander ☆ temperament: choleric-melancholic ☆ hobbies: collecting vintage magazines, curating playlists, attending gallery openings, photography, discovering hidden restaurants, collecting perfumes, and people watching from hotel lobbies

☆ alessia bianchi has always understood the importance of a good story. long before she built a career around shaping public perception, she learned that appearances could open doors, protect reputations, and determine how people remembered you. growing up between privilege and expectation, she became fascinated by influence. not just who held it, but how they maintained it.

☆ intelligent, charming, and relentlessly driven, alessia is the person people call when everything begins falling apart. she knows how to turn scandals into opportunities, how to make mistakes disappear beneath carefully written statements, and how to make someone feel like the most important person in the room. her greatest talent is making everything look effortless. the irony is that alessia has spent most of her life perfecting the art of being known without ever allowing herself to be truly seen. she can read anyone else's emotions before they speak, yet struggles to admit her own. vulnerability feels too much like losing control, and control has always been the thing she trusts most.

☆ beneath the polished exterior is someone who fears that without the success, the connections, and the carefully curated image, there may be nothing left for people to admire. she doesn't crave attention because she loves being watched, she craves it because being forgotten feels worse.

4. family + relationships

☆ alessia was born into a well-connected italian family where reputation carried weight. her childhood was filled with expectations, formal events, and reminders that every action reflected back on the family name. affection was present, but achievement often became the language through which love was expressed.

☆ despite being born in milan, cider point was always part of alessia's upbringing. her mother grew up in the town before eventually leaving for italy, where she met alessia's father and built a life between both cultures. rather than leaving that chapter behind, her family maintained their connection to cider point, returning often throughout alessia's childhood. she grew up knowing both the polished world of milan and the familiarity of a place where people remembered her simply as alessia. not as a name attached to success, connections, or reputation.

☆ growing up between milan's fashion, luxury, and media circles and cider point's close-knit community shaped the way alessia viewed the world. milan taught her ambition, influence, and the power of presentation. cider point reminded her of history, familiarity, and the rare comfort of being known without having to prove anything.

☆ growing up surrounded by fashion, luxury, and media, alessia became fascinated by the power of presentation. she noticed how a dress, a photograph, or a carefully chosen sentence could completely change how someone was perceived. eventually, she realized she wasn't interested in being the person in front of the camera, she wanted to be the person deciding what the camera captured.

☆ her relationship with kyro lee became one of the few things she couldn't fully control. once considered a celebrity "it" couple, their relationship looked perfect from the outside: beautiful, successful, and destined for a future together. everyone expected an engagement announcement. but behind closed doors, kyro felt increasingly disconnected. every attempt to know alessia beyond the image she created seemed to become another opportunity for her to manage the narrative. he wanted something honest; she kept trying to make something flawless. their breakup shocked the public, but the cracks had existed long before anyone noticed. years later, rumors of reconciliation continue whenever they are seen in the same room. the world wants the romance back, but alessia knows some stories are better left unfinished.

5. public image

☆ alessia bianchi is the woman behind the people everyone knows. while she rarely seeks the spotlight herself, she has built a reputation for understanding it better than anyone.

☆ she is known among luxury circles as someone with impeccable taste, unmatched connections, and the ability to make even the most damaging situations disappear. celebrities trust her because she understands that reputation is fragile, and once lost, difficult to rebuild.

☆ although much of her professional life exists outside of cider point, locals have always known alessia as someone who belongs to the town in her own way. she is the girl who left and returned, the woman who built a life elsewhere but never completely severed the ties that brought her back. to some, she represents ambition and reinvention; to others, she is proof that no matter how far someone goes, certain places always remember who they were.

☆ to some, alessia is intimidating. to others, she is inspiring. she is admired for her ambition and criticized for the same qualities that made her successful. many assume she is cold, but those closest to her know she simply learned that softness is something people often take advantage of.

6. narrative motifs

☆ drink: dirty martini — polished, timeless, and deceptively simple. the kind of drink that looks effortless but requires precision to get right. ☆ aesthetic: quiet luxury, old money galas, silk scarves, handwritten thank you notes, perfume lingering long after she leaves, hotel balconies overlooking city lights, champagne glasses, red lipstick, fashion magazines, and jewelry boxes filled with stories ☆ themes: perception versus reality; ambition versus intimacy; the loneliness of being admired; control as a defense mechanism; learning that vulnerability is not weakness

7. possible dynamics

☆ someone who refuses to be impressed by her reputation and wants to know the person underneath ☆ a former client who became a genuine friend ☆ another ambitious person who understands the pressure of constantly performing success ☆ someone who knew her before the image was created ☆ a rival within the luxury industry who challenges her methods ☆ someone who believes she deserves a life beyond what she can provide for others

8. legacy + reputation

Ocean was born in Cider Point to Oduva and Dawn Igwe and is the youngest of three. Ever since Ocean was young, he had dreams of doing big things. He found a passion for dancing when he was in elementary school. His parents initially worried about what others would think of him, but dancing made him happy, so who were they to get in the way of that? Ocean studied multiple forms of dance, with ballet and contemporary being his favorite. Other kids his age, especially boys, mocked him for his love of dance, but it never once deterred him.

Being as bold as he was helped him settle into a friend group. Though none of them were popular by any means, they had each other, which was the most important thing. The bullying only got worse when he outwardly started identifying as queer. Ocean being attracted to boys wasn't a surprise to anyone, but the fact that he was also attracted to girls was. Figuring out he was on the asexual spectrum didn't come until much later in life. He's had multiple short-term relationships throughout the years with people of all different gender identities and expressions, most of them ending due to physical compatibility issues. Despite the bullies and failed relationships, Ocean was satisfied just having his family and friends by his side.

Ocean's first big break happened when he was seventeen. After multiple rounds of auditions, he was accepted into the dance program at Juilliard. It was a dream come true for Ocean, but a major financial strain for the Igwe family. Even with a generous scholarship, the family had to take out loans so he could attend class and afford dorming. He was only able to attend two semesters of classes before his parents gave him devastating news: his father had a cancerous brain tumor. After finishing his spring semester, he rushed back to Cider Point and started acting as his caretaker.

Because their dad was unable to work, Ocean and his siblings all chipped in with their parents' bills however they could. When he wasn't driving his dad to doctor's appointments, he was working at the local dance studio that gave him his start and uploading dance videos to the internet. It wasn't glamorous, but he could never give up dancing. After a two-year battle, Oduva came out on top. After getting that news, Ocean felt like he could breathe for the first time. However, Oduva was never the same as he was pre-diagnosis. He was unable to return to work after multiple brain surgeries and became much more irritable.

BACKGROUND  tw  abandonment

shreya  has  no  memories  of  her  dad,  she  used  to  pretend  when  she  was  in  kindergarten  that  she  remembered  saying  her  first  word  and  saying  it  to  him,  but  that  was  a  lie  she  crafted  to  make  herself  feel  even  remotely  better  considering  he  left  the  family  shortly  after  she  was  born 

she  was  always  an  outgoing,  loud  child,  could  make  friends  with  anyone  and  was  always  the  first  to  reach  out  to  new  kids  in  class  or  in  town;  half  of  this  was  out  of  the  kindness  of  her  heart  and  the  other  half  her  nagging  curiosity  to  know  Everything  about  everyone

she  was  raised  by  her  deeply  religious  and  Sad  mother  and  older  half-brother;  her  brother  was  her  solace,  she  was  close  to  her  mom  but  never  really  vibed  with  religion  and  found  it  hard  to  deal  with  her  overwhelming  sadness  at  being  left  by  not  one  but  two  men,  so  she  spent  a  lot  of  her  childhood  following  him  around 

when  she  was  15,  shreya  and  her  mom  moved  to  cider  point;  her  brother  went  off  to  college  (  something  shreya  considered  an  abandonment  despite  the  fact  that  this  was  just…  life  and  he  stayed  in  touch  with  her  constantly,  she  was  just  bitter  ) 

she  has  always  covered  up  her  fear  of  abandonment  with  humor  and  her  big  personality,  always  putting  on  a  smile  and  keeping  an  appearance  of  everything  being  chill  and  cool 

in  school,  she  was  most  drawn  to  the  arts,  especially  music  and  started  writing  songs  from  an  early  age 

when  she  graduated  high  school,  she  shipped  off  to  new  york  to  start  working  in  the  music  industry 

while  working  in  music,  she  met  her  future  husband,  fell  head  over  heels  etc  etc 

she  encouraged  him  to  go  out  on  his  own  and  make  the  sort  of  music  that  made  him  FEEL 

when  things  changed  and  his  fame  started  to  get  a  bit  overwhelming,  shreya  freaked  out,  assuming  it  was  only  a  matter  of  time  before  he  abandoned  her  too,  so  she  did  the  logical  thing  and  left  first  <3 

she  moved  to  california  for  awhile,  then cider point, then  back  to  michigan,  then  a  month  ago  she  landed  back  in  cider  point,  none  the  wiser  that  her  ex-husband  IS  HERE 

these  days,  she  doesn't  write  much  for  herself,  mostly  writing  songs  for  other  indie  artists,  but  occasionally  she  does  a  gig  here  and  there,  releases  a  song  of  her  own  then  dips  for  awhile,  hasn't  released  an  EP  of  her  own  in  a  handful  of  years  but  swears  she's  working  on  it   

PERSONALITY 

she's  friendly!  sometimes  almost  TOO  friendly,  but  she  does  have  a  big  heart!  lover  girl  core  underneath  all  the  jokes  and  all  the  avoidance 

was  absolutely  the  first  one  to  text  the  group  chat  when  queen  elizabeth  died  and  then  shot  off  a  series  of  tweets  that  probably  could  get  her  fired…  her  henry  kissinger  death  tweets?  even  more  unhinged

curious,  just  loves  to  Know  things,  wants  to  know  everything  down  to  the  tiniest  detail

probably  shouldn't  tell  her  secrets  but  she  loves  to  be  told  secrets

she  IS  a  loyal  friend  though,  will  not  be  breaking  codes  of  friendship 

pretty  anti-religion;  religion  didn't  save  her  mom  so  now  she's  kinda  like…  what  the  hell  @  god?  u  canNOT  be  real  if  all  this  shit  happened 

big  flirt,  but  has  not  had  many  serious  relationships  besides  her  marriage  bc  that  would  require  emotional  vulnerability  that  she  is  not  equipped  for;  she  LOVES  when  people  are  vulnerable  to  her  but  cannot  reciprocate  it  most  of  the  time 

probably  a  little  annoying  but  in  an  endearing  way

does  NOT  play  about  the  people  she  loves,  will  fight  you  if  you're  mean  to  the  people  she  cares  about,  fiercely  protective

lives  with  a  lot  of  guilt,  mostly  in  regard  to  how  she  treated  her  brother  when  he  left,  blaming  herself  for  her  mother's  sadness,  and  for  the  way  she  ended  her  marriage   

has  a  lot  of  special  interests  (  na'vi,  fantasy  novels  aka  fairy  smut,  writes  fanfiction,  lover  of  wes  anderson  movies  )

sleeps  with  socks  on

has  a  black  cat  named  chip  and  he  is  her  baby,  her  pride  and  joy

also  has  a  garden,  most  of  it  is  dead  already  but  nevertheless…  she  persists!  (  someone  come  help  )

I heard that SHE / (HER)  has been in town for NINE MONTHS, which is crazy considering they are THIRTY years old. Yeah, they live over on PENNY LANE, and I heard that they work as a FIFTH GRADE TEACHER ( IN TOWN ). I love that they remind me of PERFECT MANICURES, PAPERBACK NOVELS IN HER TOTE BAG, & LINGERING SCENT OF EXPENSIVE PERFUME AND ESPRESSO, but … ugh, their playlist is so weird. Why is GOOD  TIME  –  OWL  CITY  &  CARLY  RAE  JEPSEN in the queue?

H I S T O R Y !

Grew up in a crowded three-bedroom apartment in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. Both her parents were blue-collar workers spending 60+ hours outside of the home to provide for Adriana and her younger twin brothers. The apartment always felt too small, too loud, and too full despite all the love embedded in the walls. Adriana loved her family, but she didn't want their life.

While her brothers were content with their friend group and status in the neighborhood, Adriana always dreamed of something bigger and further away than beginning her own life on the same block she had known her whole life. It was her brain that was her ticket out. Yet, despite her intelligence, there were only so many scholarships she could earn, prompting her to take out a huge loan for her studies.

Between classes and studying, she worked herself to minimize her accruing debt. Waitressing, bartending, hosting private events, and providing bottle service. With it came invitations to spaces and people she would have previously never had access to. Relationships with wealthy older men who enjoyed her company, beauty, and ambition became her weekly paycheck.

Through those interactions, she learned how power was wielded, sustained, and conserved. How influence moved, and opportunities were developed. While juggling multiple jobs and arrangements, she earned two degrees in education. People were always surprised that she wanted to be a teacher. It was everything to her, for she still recalls the impact of a handful of teachers who saw a bright future within her.

One of her former clients helped her land a position at a prestigious private school in Manhattan. An institution where Ivy League students were mass produced and the most affluent in all of New York attended, if not sending their child overseas. Professionally, she thrived; emotionally, she was disconnected. When an opportunity emerged at an elementary school in Cider Point, she accepted.
