the summary
if 'most likely to run off to new york with the love of their life' was a superlative, no one would have voted for fiona, but, as luck would have it, that's exactly what she did. part of it came from having wonderful, loving parents who (much to their chagrin once it came time for their eldest child to leave flee the nest) had instilled in all three of their children the confidence that they could do absolutely anything. that combined with the hubris of youth had fiona confident, not even considering just how hard it was to make it in the big apple. well, all of that and just the fact she would have followed her partner anywhere.
what had first come up in the form of midnight what-ifs, barely pondered in-between giggles and smooches led to the two of them fleeing town with... well, not much. fiona was nineteen, soon to be twenty, and had very little. her entire life fit into two bags and one cracked leather bass case. no way she could leave her prized possession behind. the instrument gifted to her on her thirteenth birthday by the man who gave her her love for musicβher father. accountant by day, he played bass in a grateful dead cover band at night. while she was more interested in cherry garcia than jerry, she thought it was the coolest thing and begged him to teach her to play. all in all, she has him to thank for all thisβif long live ever wins a grammy, she's including that in her thank you speech.
they'd barely settled into new york life when she responded to a flyer advertising an open spot in a band. they needed a bassist, she was happy to oblige. granted, she never, ever expected things to turn out the way they did. she figured it'd give her the chance to jam and maybe make some friends. but all it took was a few practices and she was as invested as the founding members. it took a lot of hard work, shitty apartments (fiona and her partner moved several times before settling in cornelia street, seeking cheaper rent) and even shittier jobs but it's worth it. fiona will never forget the day they found out they were going on tour. heartbreaking in hindsight, but still easily one of the best days of her life.
when she returned home, armed with new stories, presents, and a collection of polaroid's to show off, she had been excited, looking forward to reuniting with her partner, but also nervous. she had bad news to break: she was leaving again. she wouldn't be as far away and it would, hopefully anyway, not last at long. but, while on the road, long live's manager had rented them a house. if anyone asks, it's a creative oasis, a necessary quarantine to get their next album. but, really, it was to, yeah, get the album out but also to keep everyone in line and under supervision. things had gotten tough on the road and while fiona was used to playing peacemaker, even she had struggled to put out some of those fires.
she wasn't sure how her partner would react and never really got the chance to tell them. she knew right away something was wrong, before they had even spoken. the body language had given them away. but, even then, she had not expected to hear they had cheated on her. she was devastated. just like that, her whole world was shattered. this was the person she was closest to, the one she loved so much, and all it took was her to be gone for a few months for them to seek out another person. that kind of betrayal hit hard and deep. in a daze, she grabbed her bags and turned right around, heading to the long live house.
now she's dodging texts and ignoring calls while trying to babysit fully grown adults and figure out her relationship status. she thinks, at least part of her does anyway, that she wants to move past this but she doesn't know how that's even possible. she's just too angry and hurt to think about it logically, instead she'd rather just throw herself into the new album and music.

NAME: Julian Alexander Wright.
FACECLAIM: Lee Pace
PRONOUNS : He/Him
GENDER:Β Cis-Man
AGE: Thirty-six
ORIENTATION:Β Homosexual. The one thing about being in a small town that Julian doesnβt miss is the small town gossip. Itβs partly the reason he began to feel more comfortable staying in New York where he was able to explore his sexuality without judgement or fear. Since growing up though, heβs accepted that side of himself though he still tends to keep it on a need to know basis.
HOMETOWN: Grand Rapids, MI
OCCUPATION: Owner and operator of Marjorieβs.Β Marjorieβs β the local cafe & bakery open since 1931. Made from the freshest local ingredients you can find bread, cake, and pies baked to order. Donβt forget to grab a jar of their famous Marjorieβs marmalade!
BIOGRAPHY
Thereβs a saying, that New Yorkers are born all over the world. However for Julian, he had always felt like he was misplaced. New York is full of constant noise and people always in a rush to get where theyβre going. For a young Julian, a kid with big eyes and fragile feelings, he felt like grass trying to grow through the cracks in the sidewalk cement. He had always been a quite, skittish, and awkward but always well meaning. Seemingly too soft, his parents would send him to spend the summers with his grandmother Marjorie where he was initially overwhelmed by all the hustle and bustle of the city. However, despite his initial reluctance, he grew to love those summers.He would help her at her bakery, reading a book as he worked the counter. Meanwhile his grandmother greeted every customer by name with a smile and light conversation, and little Julian wondered how she made it look so easy.
He learned that in New York, he could be anyone he wanted to be. No one knew how bitterly uncool he was back home, how he struggled to make small talk and spent his afternoons browsing internet forums. Julian was the mysterious out of town-er, coming and going like a summer breeze. It was nice to see people get excited about his return to the neighborhood, hearing his name yelled out with enthusiasm turning a corner in the grocery aisle. Once he got older, he had come into his own, growing into his long limbs and found people who seemed to like him for who he was. Slowly his visits became less frequent, and the summer loves became a distant memory. Nothing more than a random social media like every couple of months and a quick facetime call to his grandmother once a guilty reminder flashed on his phone.
However, when Marjorie got sick, Julian had taken it upon himself to become her caregiver. So he put law school on pause to help keep her cafe running. While it seemed like an insane concept to his friends, to Julian it was a no brainer. Besides, it would be just like those summers oh-so long ago, right? It turns out, seeing how things work from above the counter, baking is a lot more technical than he had thought. Though it proved to be much more fulfilling than studying at his prestigious Ivy League graduate school. Every day he was able to see the way a customerβs face would light up at the first bite of their morning bagel or the love in a young coupleβs eyes as they picked out their wedding cake, it actually made him excited to get up in the morning even during the cold months when he was warm and comfortable wrapped up in his comforter.
Unfortunately, those idyllic mornings of preparing the shop wouldnβt last as long as Julian would have liked -- When Marjorie passed away, Julian was utterly distraught. It was like he became a shell of himself and it look him weeks to even set foot into the cafe which she had left to him. It came with a heavy heart when he put up the bakery for sale, but he didnβt know if he would ever enter Marjorieβs without breaking into tears. It was only when a little girl approached him at the farmerβs market asking if he would open to in time to make her birthday cake that he realized that he wasnβt ready to give up on the legacy his grandmother created in the town. It was that moment that he decided that he couldnβt just leave. So he took down the For Sale sign and put on the apron, making his residence permanent. While it has been an overwhelming experience, he realizes it was the community that made it worth it. Even when the days are hard, itβs the smile in peopleβs faces that he feels his grandmotherβs warmth still with him.

THE BASICS
Full name: Aurora 'Rory' Celeste Thorne
DOB: May 27th (i am deciding she is just now going to be turning 27 bc I picked this bday after applying)
Zodiac: Gemini Sun, Libra Moon, Libra Rising
From New York City, NY.
Daughter to the Anastasia Thorne.
Rory is the middle child.
YOU HAVEN'T HEARD OF AURORA THORNE?
Born and raised in New York, NY among the elite, Aurora has always appreciated the finer things in life β regardless of price. That's not to say she was a toddler in Balenciaga or anything, but she was most certainly spoiled.
Her career started when she was just a toddler, modeling for diaper companies and various children's clothing lines.
Being the middle child, she often felt like she was vying for her mother's attention and she'd do anything to keep it, even if that meant acting out. Unfortunately, maintaining her mother's attention wasn't particularly easy, and just trying to was beginning to become tiring.
Rory often jumped from hobby to hobby, having a tendency to give up when she grew bored or things just seemed too hard. Over the years, she tried gymnastics, pottery, knitting, sewing, archery, and piano, the last being her longest-held hobby. She performed in recitals, her mother bought a piano for the house, and soon she started voice lessons to be able to accompany herself.
She was encouraged to pursue a music career, and she did end up releasing an EP, but her passion faded and she broke her contract without a care for the financial consequences.
Acting, on the other hand, was where she felt herself thrive. Some think it's her form of escapism, but she refuses to acknowledge such claims.
At age 23, she moved out to Los Angeles. Her mother's name was more than enough to get her into auditions, and her appearance sealed the deal. However, after her first four films, she gained a reputation for her pickiness with her work, often dropping scripts just weeks after casting or partway through filming for unexplained reasons.
After a heated phone call with her mother and manager, she got her act together enough to land and maintain her role in her most recent film, but she had no idea as filming wrapped that it might be her last.
βSHE'S LAUGHING UP AT US FROM HELL!β
Rory would never pin all the blame on MUSE B, buuuuuut it was their choice that seemed to be the final straw for their mother.
Money management, who's she? Up until now, she'd had what seemed like an endless supply of money, never blinking an eye at price tags for the things she wanted.
Being cut off felt like a slap to the face, and forced Rory to address the harsh realities that she doesn't know who she is without money and her mother's name. She doesn't know how to survive the way the rest of the world does, still spending beyond her means and waiting for it to bite her in the ass.
The news of her -ahem- financial independence is a touchy subject, so those who address her by her full name or even begin to mention her situation are met with a glare and a bitchy tone, which certainly isn't helping her build a positive reputation on Cornelia Street.
MISC. / OTHER
Find Auroraβs stats pageΒ here.
She is a cat mom to a beautiful little brown tabby, who she spoils rotten the same way she was spoiled for the majority of her life.
Her favorite colors are pink and seafoam green.
She is a social drinker!
She picked up smoking cigarettes on the set of her first film and has tried (and failed) to stop smoking a handful of times in the years since, but her recent stress has re-sparked the habit.
Her best friend in L.A. was supposed to be her impulse control, but was more of an enabler. Said friend dropped her as soon as her mother did, making it clear to Rory that they were only friends because of her name. As a result, this bitch does not know how to trust people.

THE BASICS
Full name: Astrid Fey Beckett
DOB: October 26
Zodiac: Scorpio Sun, Cancer Moon, Aquarius Rising
From Burlington, VT
SO, YOU WANT TO GET TO KNOW ASTRID...
Astrid was an only child for the first 3 years of her life. Then, along came Iris. She'll be the first to admit she wasn't thrilled about having a baby sister, but once Iris was actually around, Astrid loved her. It was like having a Baby Alive doll but even better!
The girls got closer as they grew older, Astrid preparing Iris for milestone moments in advance so they wouldn't be scary. Astrid leaving Vermont to attend college in New York was the first time in a long time that she'd ever been apart from her sister for an extended period, so she made an effort to call weekly and text constantly.
While in college, Astrid picked up a job at the campus library, mostly assisting with check-outs, booking study rooms, preparing meeting rooms, and re-shelving books.
After graduation, she transferred to an assistan librarian job with the public library system, thanks to a letter of recommendation from her former supervisor.
This bitch loves organization and solid schedules. She may need sticky note and/or phone reminders sometimes, but overall, she has her shit together.
I'LL BE CLEANIN UP BOTTLES WITH YOU ON NEW YEAR'S DAY
Welcome to Astrid's life on Cornelia Street.
After tiring of her normal routine, she transferred yet again to a new library branch, this time in Greenwich Village. Most of her friends at the time were either library patrons, former co-workers, or college friends who moved miles away.
New towns are an opportunity for new friends, right? Astrid had always been somewhat of a social butterfly, but her schedule didn't allow for much socialization outside of after-work drinks and weekend get-togethers.
Who would have guessed a New Years party would change Astrid's life? Read all about it here. New best friend and platonic soulmate, new living situation (hello, roommate!), an entire career change, etc β all because she cleaned up the remnants of the party with a stranger the morning after. Honestly, though, she couldn't be happier.
Since quitting her 9-5 and starting her new job as an event planner with [MUSE B], they've coordinated quite a few beautiful weddings. Is it a little obsessive to start planning the New Year's parties in October? Maybe, but it's one of her favorite ways to spend her birthday and it ensures her clients the best experience possible.

statistics
diane lou cleese. thirty-one. scorpio. ceo of new romantics & co. cis woman. romantically and physically attracted to feminine presenting people of all genders. polyamorous. in a relationship with two partners (secret). african-american and caucasian descent. agnostic, raised evangelical.
what everyone knows about her
diane is known for being one of the founding members of the thread. she is known for being a very outspoken feminist and also for being fabulously well-dressed most times. she gets up at four am to look this good and she wouldn't change it. she lives with two roommates and seems to only be focused on making it big in tech, to making a difference in the landscape of social media, and appears to always be confident, bold, and completely sure of every decision she makes.
what friends know about her
diane's upbringing was complicated. she was raised by a white father and a black mother in a very conservative part of mississippi. her father was the head of his own evangelical church and diane's upbringing was very clear on what was expected of her. she had to be a good christian girl and serve her husband. it really shouldn't have been a surprise that she didn't return home after getting her master's in new york city. would would ever want to go back to that small minded place she was from? she had to suffer a lot of alienation because she was biracial, she had to live such a suppressed like that she now feels like she can breathe, be herself and amplify voices of women who are who she could have been, had she gone back to mississippi.
what no one knows about her
her two roommates are in fact her partners (wanted connections will be sent to the main soon). she isn't out as queer, mostly because she already has to take quite a lot of flack for just being a woman of color but being openly polyamorous is just a step she cannot see herself taking. it goes against all she was raised to be and honestly, she knows no one like them - no one who is also living with multiple partners and she really couldn't stand to feel like an outcast again, in her personal life.
connections
two polyamorous partners - they've been together for at least six months and live together. they're all in a relationship with each other and are not out as polyamorous.
best friend
neighbors
fashion rival and/or bestie
ex
former one-night stand
accidental tinder match
fellow southerner
someone who dislikes the social media site she's starting up

TIME ON CORNELIA STREET: three monthsΒ
OCCUPATION: assistant director
AESTHETIC: dancing in your socks with a glass of wine in hand, standing on the balcony as the wind ruffles your hair and the embers on the end of your cigarette die, the comfort weight of your laptop in your bag, the scent of a cappuccino, freesia, and vanilla entering the room

EXCERPT FROM THE MASTERMIND: daisy's born in miami to a mother who would do anything for her and a father who doesn't quite know how to stay. she's always telling stories, typing them late at night on the laptop her mother surprises her with for her quinceanera, and lives a little too far in her head sometimes. life dips into a dark place for awhile, and her ticket out is the promise of moving to los angeles with her best friend, where they're going to be stars. it's what they always dreamed of, after all, what kept them sane in the years of high school where nothing ever fucking made sense. besides, daisy's supposed to write a film for logan to star in. they make it out to california and daisy becomes alive as she grinds away, starting as an assistant pa and slowly climbing the ladder β logan, on the other hand, falls into the clutches of opiate abuse, and their death shakes daisy to her core. it's why her dream matters so much, after all. daisy continues climbing, determined to win her seat in the room and her oscar someday. she then meets muse a and they start a relationship. fiery and passionate and... comfortable. the routine, the expected, it's all very nice and well for daisy, but she is more selfish than both of them realize. she'd never ask anyone to compromise for her, and it doesn't occur to her that they don't realize she wouldn't do the same until they propose and she says no. already at an assistant director phase for several television shows and working on producing indie films with her contacts, daisy makes the decision to flee to new york for something different, where ghosts don't tail her and she's not forced to feel even more shitty for what she's done. she answers a wanted ad and moves onto cornelia street with maggie molina, and it may very well be the best thing she's ever done. she's on her own and it has never been more liberating. / Β READ MORE ABOUT DAISY HERE.
AESTHETIC: holding hands with someone to reassure them or let them know you're there, peppermint hot chocolate with whipped cream, touching up the edges of your chipped nail polish
SONG INSPIRATION: evermore
EXCERPT FROM THE MASTERMIND: the youngest of four with a wild heart and not many idle thoughts, marin longs to taste a world that hadn't yet swallowed down her siblings and left traces of them behind. she loves her siblings dearly, family oriented occasionally to a fault, but her dreams of escaping her hometown litter the pages of her journal and the online archives she pressed her footprint into. she's always along for the ride, never the driver. nothing ever belongs to her because it seemingly belonged to one of the other sawyer kids first. it makes the high school years hard for marin, who is just trying to find an identity beyond her loud and brash colors she wears to stand out. her mother's death shortly after her high school graduation and lost semi-adult who can't college to save their life venture is crippling β effervescence fizzles, color fades, and the once exuberant force takes a few steps back inside herself. it's the lifelong dream of moving to new york that strikes a spark back in her eyes and the breath returns to her lungs. it's a new city, a new playground to call her own, and best of all: the novelty of getting to find herself outside of her siblings' silhouettes. marin does freelance photography mostly as a hobby, and works as an emt ( the savior complex is a lil strong with this one, i'm afraid ) but, most importantly, she's the one who keeps holiday house bustling with people. holiday house is the dream of holidays accumulated after all, where they'd wish out loud to spend their holidays in new york where the snow's plentiful and lights make everything glow, and it's the place where she belongs and her siblings belong and the space is vast enough for everyone she brings through the doors to belong, too. she is carving out a space for the people she loves, perhaps what she was meant for. while she often gives too much of herself that she hardly remembers to take care of her own grief and complications, marin always has her hand out ready to take someone in. she lives hard, loves fierce, and runs wild β and yet, she'll always come home in the end. / Β READ MORE ABOUT MARIN HERE.
