( zendaya / cisfemale ) did you catch penina fielding the other day? as always, she was being her usual unrelenting & stoic self, despite being twenty years old. i wonder if theyâre still a waitress around here. itâs nothing but faint humming, fresh linen and heavy silences when it comes to them, isnât it ?
hi hello there ! iâm sj and this is my g penina - nina to the regular folk of the world !
nina is a waitress at dorothyâs diner - she worked there part-time the whole way through high school and it just morphed into her full-time job once she had that degree in hand.
higher education literally never even crossed her mind - nina is someone whoâs very caught up in the every day details of trying to get by, and honestly doesnât really feel like she even has time to sit around crafting grand dreams for what her future might be like, because the future is vulnerable, and she doesnât want her heart getting caught up in something thatâs never actually going to happen anyway.Â
so in other words penina is a huuuuge pessimist. prepare for the worst and hope for the mediocre kinda gal.Â
that doesnât mean she canât support other peopleâs dreams, but sheâs not the best person to come to if you want a smile and agree type of answer. she doesnât fluff the truth, even if it might spare someoneâs feelings to embellish a little. she wonât be brutal, but she will be brutally honest.Â
she loves to sing - and itâs not that sheâs some fantastic hidden superstar, she just loves music in general. learned to play piano on her grandmaâs upright and never looked back. if you happen to stroll into the diner when its otherwise empty, you will definitely hear faint humming emanating from some corner.Â
itâs just nina and her dad at home, who raised her on his own after her mom took off when she was two - and she always maintains it wasnât all that traumatic for her given that at two, she barely even knew who the woman was. the person sheâs closest to in the whole entire world is her dad - ride or die, and a complete daddyâs girl.Â
she knows that her mom is somewhere in new orleans, but she has literally no interest in making any contact with her beyond the birthday card she receives every year. she knows her dad wouldnât object to her finding out more about her mom, but she also feels like that would be something of a betrayal - to seek out someone who left him in the lurch like that.Â
honestly sheâs just - very reserved, very guarded, has never actually had someone be interested enough to make her open up so she just... never has??Â
aaaaaand thatâs kind of it! i donât have wanted connections because iâm a bag of trash buT hmu
