Bio: Deanne grew up in a small southern town in a very strict Christian family. Her mom and dad had very old-fashioned views on everything from gender to sexuality to the kind of people you should associate with. Deanne and her brother David fell in line. Because of this, Deanne battled with compulsive heterosexuality for the first 22 or so years of her life.
Deanne spent most of her childhood life doing whatever she could to please her overbearing mother. She went to church every Sunday, she got top grades in all her classes, she dated a nice catholic boy through most of high school, and she tried her best to lose the extra belly weight her mother hated.
However, no child is a perfect obedient robot, even Deanne had her moments of rebellion. Her main rebellion was her best friend; Andy. Deanne's mom made her disapproval of Andy very clear from the get-go (mainly because both Andy and her moms are out and proud lesbians). But Deanne didn't care; Andy was the best friend she could have asked for.
The two girls did everything together, they shared classes, homework answers, sleepovers, everything. The only thing they never talked about was Andy's giant crush on Deanne. It was obvious, neither of them needed to point it out. Andy held herself back from pursuing it because she knew Deanne was straight. Deanne tried not to think about it too often because she wanted to be straight.
Eventually, the time for college acceptance comes and Deanne gets a letter from big-name university a few cities away. Her parents try to talk her out of it, but she falls in love with the idea of it and decides to go. Meanwhile, Andy's less than stellar grades get her into a state college in the opposite direction. The two women grow apart, never completely losing contact, but not quite having the same closeness as before.
Finally, away from her childhood home, and the pressures of her conservative parents, Deanne's able to admit to herself what she's been feeling her whole life. She's not straight, she doesn't even really like guys, she's a lesbian. She's a lesbian and was in love with her best friend and it was a missed opportunity.
Deanne does what most freshly out lesbians do in college and enjoys herself. She goes on dates, has some fun, and tries and fails to forget about Andy. Eventually, she graduates from college, and then vet school and when she finds work in the same city that Andy now lives in she sees an opportunity to rekindle... something.
Andy has a girlfriend at this point - Raven, but they're looking for a roommate to join their rent agreement. Deanne is a poor college graduate looking for somewhere to live, it doesn't take the two degree-holding women to add 2+2 to get 4. Deanne moves in.
The two fall back into friendship as if they never took a break. Raven is off at work half the time and the two spend a lot of alone time. Raven and Andy are in a (very healthy) poly relationship so it doesn't take long for Andy to ask Deanne if she'd be interested in dating.
Deanne very quickly agrees and the two have a whirlwind honeymoon romance. Deanne struggles a bit with jealousy (this is her first poly relationship, so sue her), but she doesn't want to jeopardize how happy she is, so she does her best to get to know Raven and get along with her.
The two actually have a lot in common. They both have a soft fondness for Andy and love to talk about all her quirks, teasing her. They both love a good murder podcast and tea in the mornings when it's still a little cold out. They both love cats.
So, it starts as an Andy has two hands situation, but quickly becomes a 'we collectively have six hands' situation instead.
