#leukemia tw

she's style... she's grace... she's in your face. this gir is confrontational as F U C K. if you say something about her or her family she'll go up to you (all 4'10" & 92 pounds of her) all "what did you say? you wanna talk shit? talk it then bitch. nothing to say now? that's what i thought, keep my fucking name out of your mouth while you're still able to speak". very very... mouthy.

she's also violent. sheee has been in many physical fights (both won and lost) and will not hesitate, bitch.

she CAN be nice, and there are people who have only seen the nice side. but there are also people who have only seen her bitchy side and those people are most likely her enemies.

she's very sarcastic and can be short with people (not just in height). she's not a huge talker unless you KNOW each other, so if you ask her an elaborate question but it's easy to answer, you're gonna get a "yes" or a "no". straight to the point.

she owns her own hair/tattoo/piercing shop. how does she own her own business at only 25 years old? easy. she went to cosmetology school and took art classes, along with training classes. she knew she wanted to do at least one of those things later on in the future so she prepared herself ahead of time and did all three at the same time. she became an apprentice at a piercing studio and was quick to make friends with the owner at the time. the owner was wanting to expand, but didn't know what to do for the bigger half of the studio. elvira suggested making it a hair salon and just have them separated by a breezeway entrance, the owner thought that was a fantastic idea and thus the hair salon was made. because it was elvira's idea, the owner gave her part ownership of the salon and the tattoo/piercing shop, but when he retired, he left the entire business to her and she became the sole owner and changed the name to "life in the fast lane" (cause her last name is lane... get it? i know, it was bad)

something people might notice about elvira that really sticks out is her hair. ever since she was old enough, she started bleaching and dying her hair crazy colors. it's a normal occurrence to see her with green blue and yellow hair. but now it's more frequent. almost as if it's every other day. and people talk. people talk a LOT. some talk shit and say she's going to ruin her hair (which she did, she fucked it up with all that bleach), others say it's not her hair and that she's using wigs or extensions.

the only person that currently knows about her leukemia is her twin. she hasn't told the other lanes yet because she didn't want to scare them. but now that she's starting treatment and feeling worse, she knows the'll start asking questions and she doesn't want to lie to them.

if you see her around town wearing a surgical mask, mind your business.

her personality has toned down a lot. treatment is taking a lot out of her and it's noticeable that she's changed. some are genuinely worried about her and others don't give a shit, they think she's faking depression for attention (she's not above doing that, but she's not doing it).

she's been in the hospital a lot lately and when she isn't there, she's at home complaining about the way food tastes.

                                                           TRIGGERS    ;    leukemia  ,  death  ,  drugs    &    alcohol  .

        in  a  quaint  yet  suburban  town  located  on  outskirts  of  barcelona  ,  spain  lived  alejandro  castillo  ,  a  recent  high  school  graduate    &    current  owner  of  the  castillo  residence  .  he’d  call  it  a  home  ,  but  he  wouldn’t  label  a  100  square  meter  foundation  a  home  .  the  castillos  never  had  an  easy  life  ,    &    as  the  only  child  of  his  late  parents  he  was  left  with  the  entirety  of  their  his  family’s  fortune  .  or  so  ,  how  little  of  the  fortune  they  had  left  .  alejandro  was  a  level  headed  young  man  who  had  worked  hard  in  school    &    had  a  weekend  job  to  pay  off  the  bills  ,    &    with  little  family  he  was  left  alone  in  the  big  city  to  find  a  stable  future    &    work  through  his  grief  .  he  had  three  ,  very  important  steps  to  follow    :    get  drunk    ;    it  wouldn’t  cost  too  much  for  a  pint  of  flaherty’s  finest  bitter  ,  right    ?    buy  a  car    ;    although  he  had  little  money  to  play  around  with  ,  his  inherited  money  was  enough  for  him  to  buy  an  beaten  down  toyota  4runner  .  then  ,  get  a  girl    ;    it  was  a  common  necessity  back  then  ,  but  who  would  want  a  struggling  mechanic  who  was  left  to  live  his  lonely  life    ?

         in  a  more  upstate  area  in  barcelona  ,  victoria  de  la  rosa  resided  with  her  parents    &    three  siblings  .  now  ,  the  de  la  rosa’s  were  not  by  any  means  considerably  wealthy  ,  but  they  were  comfortable  .  their  children  were  educated  in  some  of  the  best  schools  in  barcelona    &    had  full  scholarships  for  college  .  in  conclusion  ,  victoria  had  a  good  life  ,  but  she  wasn’t  spoiled  about  it  .  a  modest    &    kind  young  lady  ,  she  accepted  everyone  no  matter  their  status    &    lived  somewhat  an  idealistic  life  .  everyone  expected  her  to  do  well  in  life  ,  to  marry  someone  who  could  treat  her  the  way  she  deserved  to  be  treated  .  her  parents  ,  who  had  even  higher  expectations  would  cast  her  off  to  have  meals  with  already  successful  young  men  ,  but  victoria  didn’t  care  about  success  .  success  ,  to  her  ,  was  three  notches  short  of  happiness    &    if  you’re  not  happy  ,  then  what  are  you  doing    ?    her  whole  life  ,  she  told  herself  that  happiness  comes  first    &    success  comes  later  ,  so  she  would  quickly  send  who  her  parents  considered  to  be  eligible  candidates  on  their  way  with  that  delicate  smile  of  hers  .

           the  day  that  victoria  met  alejandro  castillo  ,  her  whole  world  changed  .  he  was  everything  he  parents  didn’t  want  her  to  be  with  .  he  didn’t  have  a  lot  money  ,  a  flashy  car  or  an  expensive  house  .  but  what  he  was  brave    &    determined  ,  thoughtful    &    fair  .  it  was  these  traits  ,  rather  than  the  little  fortune  he  had  behind  him  that  made  victoria  fall  in  love  so  easily    &    undeniably  .  within  a  year  ,  the  pair  were  married  ,  but  the  wedding  wasn’t  exactly  what  would  be  called  ‘ traditional ’  .  in  fact  ,  it  was  just  the  two  of  them    &    two  witnesses  in  barcelona’s  registration  office  .  it  wasn’t  decorated  with  pretty  flowers    &    silk  sheets  draped  over  chairs  ,  with  hundreds  of  guests  holding  back  the  tears  as  vows  were  exchanged  ,  but  it  was  everything  they  could  hope  for  .  on  the  contrary  ,  victoria’s  parents  were  not  happy  at  all  .  not  just  in  her  choice  of  the  wedding  venue  but  the  man  she  chose  to  dedicate  the  rest  of  her  life  to  .  so  ,  as  some  form  of  punishment  ,  they  cut  off  her  funding    &    left  her  to  her  own  devices  .  but  victoria  was  happy  regardless  .

           the  happy  couple  lived  in  the  castillo  home  for  a  couple  of  years  ,    &    after  victoria  had  caught  on  a  stable  job    &    they  had  a  good  influx  of  money  to  keep  them  on  their  feet  ,  they  decided  to  invest  in  a  bigger  home  .  it  wasn’t  much  bigger  ,  but  it  was  a  house  a  lot  more  fitting  for  their  growing  family  .  after  all  ,  victoria  was  pregnant  with  their  first  child  ,    &    with  that  comes  a  responsibility    &    the  need  for  a  lot  more  room  .  the  pregnancy  was  tumultuous    &    complicated  at  times  ,  but  when  it  was  good  ,  it  was  incredible  .  the  problems  became  defeated  by  the  pure  happiness  that  came  with  feeling  their  baby  kick  in  victoria’s  belly  for  the  first  time  ,  or  feeling  it  have  hiccup  after  hiccup  .  it  was  a  long  nine  months  of  waiting  for  the  day  to  finally  come  ,    &    after  they  had  both  agreed  not  to  find  out  the  gender  of  their  first  born  ,  the  day  their  baby  was  born  was  the  happiest  date  of  their  life  .  it  was  at  02:51 AM  on  september  the  2nd  ,  1994  ,  that  matías  castillo  was  born  .

           as  a  child  ,  he  was  vibrant    &    playful  .  always  curious  about  his  next  adventure    &    finding  new  ways  to  entertain  himself  .  he  was  close  to  his  father    ;    attached  to  his  hip    &   striving  to  be  more  like  him  ,  a  man  who  had  recently  succeeded  in  his  mechanic’s  degree  after  years  of  trying    &    only  just  catching  a  stable  job  .  but  no  matter  how  close  he  was  to  his  father  ,  matías  would  forever  be  his  mother’s  son  .  she  was  his  angel  ,  or  so  he  saw  her  .  she  was  kind    &    she  would  teach  him  to  be  so  .  she  would  easily  talk  to  strangers    &    he’d  follow  suit  ,  wanting  people  to  look  at  him  the  same  way  they  looked  at  her  .  even  with  his  sisters  ,  he  was  kind  .  when  they  were  born  ,  he  assumed  the  role  of  the  protective  older  brother  ,    &    despite  the  odd  few  debacles  that  every  single  sibling  has  ,  he  still  adored  them  .  the  family  were  as  what  people  would  say  ,  like  a  pack  of  wolves  .  everything  they  did  ,  they  did  it  together    &    even  though  they  didn’t  have  a  lot  ,  they  had  each  other    &    that  was  all  they  needed  .

           in  school  ,  matías  excelled  in  everything  he  did  .  he  was  one  of  the  top  pupils  in  all  his  classes    &    was  a  good  ,  respectable  student  .  especially  in  food  technology  .  when  he  was  young  ,  he  used  to  stand  at  the  kitchen  counter  ,  peering  over  the  top  to  see  what  his  mother  was  cooking    &    over  time  ,  it  became  his  passion  .  most  boys  his  age  were  into  sports    &    computer  games  ,  but  all  matías  cared  about  was  the  smell  of  bread  baking  in  the  oven  or  the  satisfied  smiles  on  his  family’s  faces  as  he  created  yet  another  delicious  meal  .  he  became  quite  good  at  it  ,    &    despite  how  proud  he  was  of  his  skills  he  felt  alone  in  school  .  nobody  understood  what  it  was  about  cooking  that  made  him  feel  so  fulfilled  ,    &    despite  his  mother’s  constant  reassurance  that  it  didn’t  matter  as  long  as  he  was  happy  ,  he  distanced  himself  from  the  oven    &   focused  on  computer  science  instead  .  it  didn’t  provide  the  same  form  of  contentment  as  cooking  did  ,  but  it  was  enough  to  occupy  his  mind    &    make  him  fit  in  .

           but  it  wasn’t  all  plain  sailing  ,  especially  for  the  castillos  .  not  long  after  matías’s  fourteenth  birthday  ,  victoria  was  rushed  in  to  hospital  due  to  unexplained  nose  bleeds    &    weight  loss  ,  which  both  led  to  an  incredibly  low  blood  pressure    &    a  worrying  amount  of  dizziness  .  after  hours  worth  of  blood  tests    &    different  types  of  medical  examinations  ,  the  family  were  faced  with  the  distressing  news  that  their  beloved  mother    &    wife  was  showing  symptoms  of  acute  leukemia  .  after  more  tests    &    scans  were  ran  ,  the  diagnosis  was  confirmed    &    the  severity  of  the  condition  rattled  the  family  as  a  whole  ,  no  more  than  matías  .  he  spent  hours  locked  away  in  his  room  ,  trying  to  come  to  terms  with  the  the  news  while  his  mother  received  failing  treatment  .  the  leukemia  had  spread  too  far  ,  reaching  to  her  vital  organs    &    they  knew  then  that  it  was  too  late  .  on  august  the  21st  ,  victoria  castillo  passed  away  with  one  final  request  to  her  son    :    take  care  of  the  family  .

           the  castillos  were  overcome  with  grief  ,  which  each  of  them  handled  in  their  own  way  .  the  girls  delved  into  their  school  work  as  a  form  of  distraction  .  matías  kept  his  promise    &    took  care  of  the  family  .  he  cooked  them  meals  ,  made  sure  his  sisters  were  getting  to  school  on  time    &   made  sure  his  father  didn’t  drown  himself  in  the  amount  of  alcohol  he’d  been  consuming  since  the  funeral  .  in  little  to  no  time  at  all  ,  he  became  the  man  of  the  family  despite  only  being  a  young  teen  in  high  school  ,  but  he  tried  his  best  however  hard  it  was  .  their  mother  had  managed  to  save  up  quite  a  collection  of  money  for  them  throughout  the  years  ,  but  it  didn’t  take  long  for  their  father  to  make  that  disappear  on  what  he  would  call  ‘ necessities ’  that  he’d  hide  from  his  children  too  quickly  for  them  to  have  a  good  look  .  as  suspicious  as  he  was  ,  matías  knew  he  couldn’t  spend  too  much  time  pondering  over  it  because  his  father  had  quit  his  job  ,    &    they  had  no  other  form  of  income  to  see  them  through  .

           for  a  little  while  ,  the  family  were  slowly  sinking  towards  the  way  of  poverty  ,    &    matías  was  struggling  to  find  ways  to  provide  for  them  .  he  tried  cleaning  windows  ,  washing  neighbours  cars  ,  but  none  of  the  money  he  earned  could  provide  enough  for  a  house  of  four  .  but  he  was  a  smart    &    determined  kid  ,  with  knowledge  way  beyond  his  years    &    after  trying    &    trying    &   trying  ,  he  found  a  solution  .  or  more  so  ,  the  solution  found  him  .  the  solution  being  one  of  his  classmates  wanting  unwarranted  access  to  a  friend’s  phone  .  matías  wasn’t  a  computer  expert  ,  but  he  knew  his  way  around  programs    &    after  learning  of  his  mother’s  condition  ,  he  lashed  out  a  little  in  school    &    managed  to  unlock  certain  websites  that  were  previously  banned  from  the  school  network  .  although  the  school  board  were  quick  to  notice    &   shut  down  the  sites  again  ,  they  never  found  the  culprit  ,  but  that  didn’t  mean  the  students  had  no  idea  who  did  it  .

           at  first  ,  matías  declined  .  he  had  so  much  to  worry  about  already  that  he  did  not  need  someone  wanting  to  find  out  their  friend’s  personal  information  being  on  his  shoulders  .  but  once  a  good  lump  sum  of  money  was  brought  to  the  table  ,  he  had  no  choice  but  to  agree  .  after  all  ,  it  was  only  one  person  ,  right    ?    if  only  that  were  true  .  after  succeeding  in  gaining  the  information  his  classmate  asked  for  ,  word  got  out    &    suddenly  he  had  a  whole  list  of  people  wanting  him  to  access  someone’s  system  for  one  reason  or  another  .  over  time  ,  he  became  quite  good  at  it    &    earned  a  lot  of  money  .  money  which  his  father  used  to  pay  for  the  debt  his  children  didn’t  know  about  .  no  matter  how  much  he  earned  ,  through  what  he’d  call  his  extra  curricular  activity  ,  it  would  go  in  alejandro’s  back  pocket  until  he  was  waist  height  in  debt  that  he  had  no  choice  but  to  admit  where  the  money  was  really  going  .  after  all  ,  matías  had  already  spotted  the  bags  of  powder    &    pills  his  father  had  attempted  to  stash  away  ,  which  he  had  skilfully  ignored  .

           uncovering  their  father’s  drug  addiction  caused  a  further  rift  between  the  family    &    matías  decided  he  had  had  enough  .  after  graduating  high  school  ,  he  had  good  enough  grades  to  further  his  education    &    achieve  his  bachillerato  certificate  in  food  technology  ,  pursuing  his  dream  career    &    fulfilling  his  mother’s  expectations  of  him  .  he  even  got  a  part  time  job  working  as  waiter  in  the  a  nearby  restaurant  ,  telling  himself  that  if  he  could  keep  this  up  for  another  couple  of  years  ,  he’d  be  able  to  leave  spain    &    his  estranged  family  behind  .  he  didn’t  tell  his  father  about  his  job  ,  however  .  he  used  enough  money  to  provide  for  the  family  but  the  rest  was  stored  away  somewhere  safe  for  later  use  ,    &    after  he  had  earned  his  certificate  ,  matías  booked  a  flight    &    earned  a  place  in  an  american  university  majoring  in  food  tech    &    left  his  old  life  behind  him  without  so  much  as  a  good  bye  .

          for  months  ,  he  had  to  swallow  his  guilt  for  leaving  his  family  .  after  all  ,  he  made  a  promise  to  his  mother    &    broke  it  by  leaving  his  family  in  the  thousands  of  euros  of  debt  his  father  had  landed  them  in  .  but  he  wasn’t  happy    ;    matías  wasn’t  happy  being  branded  as  a  castillo  .  he  didn’t  want  to  have  any  ties  to  his  family  so  after  a  few  months  of  living  in  the  US  ,  he  decided  to  change  his  name  .  it  took  a  lot  of  back    &    forth  throwing  of  different  names  but  after  a  while  of  deciding  ,  he  settled  on  avery  ybarra  .  nobody  would  ever  suspect  he  was  a  castillo  with  that  name  ,  or  so  ,  that’s  what  he  was  hoping  for  .  living  in  a  different  country  was  refreshing    ;    he  was  free  to  do  what  he  wanted  to  do    &   what  he  wanted  to  do  was  cook  .  but  he  needed  to  work  up  to  the  position  he  wanted  .  he  already  had  experience  as  a  waiter  ,  so  getting  a  job  in  that  department  was  easy  ,  but  it  was  soon  noticed  that  he  was  more  than  just  taking  orders    &    bringing  out  dishes  .  he’d  often  critique  the  food  that  was  being  sent  out  ,  which  at  first  his  boss  found  annoying  until  he  realised  that  the  customers  were  complaining  of  the  same  thing  ,    &    promoted  avery  to  chef  de  partie  as  a  roundsman  .

          his  newly  accounted  role  in  the  restaurant  boosted  sales  ,    &    his  talent  was  noticed  by  many  .  so  much  so  that  his  colleagues  ,  well  aware  of  his  passion  for  food  persuaded  him  to  apply  for  hell’s  kitchen’s  14th  season  .  as  reluctant  as  he  was  ,  he  eventually  applied    &   was  accepted  as  one  of  the  contestants  .  the  competition  was  tough  ,  but  he  battled  through  each  challenge  like  a  champion   &    gained  a  mass  following  on  his  instagram  ,  if  not  for  his  youthful  looks  then  it  was  his  attitude  in  the  kitchen  .  but  eventually  ,  on  june  the  9th  2015  ,  he  was  crowned  the  youngest  winner  of  hell’s  kitchen  .  after  that  ,  he  worked  closely  with  joël  robuchon  ,  a  world  renowned  french  chef  who’s  dishes  avery  was  in  awe  of  but  he  was  also  awarded  a  grand  total  of  $250,000  to  do  with  what  he  pleased  .  he  planned  to  buy  a  nice  home  ,  a  decent  car    &    put  some  money  to  one  side  so  he  could  eventually  purchase  his  own  restaurant  .  but  his  father  had  other  words  .

           after  his  victorious  win  ,  avery  ybarra  was  a  name  everyone  knew  .  young  ,  promising  ,    &    strikingly  handsome  ,  he  was  popular  among  many  .  but  back  home  ,  his  family  still  knew  him  as  matías  .  so  ,  in  return  for  his  family  to  not  expose  who  he  actually  was  ,  his  father  proposed  a  deal    :    pay  off  his  debt  ,  give  them  a  comfortable  amount  of  money  to  live  with  ,    &    then  they’d  have  nothing  to  do  with  him  again  .  avery  did  not  think  it  through  too  much  .  after  all  ,  how  much  debt  could  his  father  had  gotten  them  into  within  such  a  short  space  of  time    ?    his  first  mistake  was  underestimating  his  father’s  addiction  ,    &    after  paying  off  the  debt    &    giving  them  a  lump  sum  to  spend  in  their  bank  accounts  ,  he  was  left  with  next  to  nothing  .  avery  felt  sad  ,  manipulated    &    above  all  betrayed  .  he  never  trusted  his  father  to  begin  with  ,    &    there  was  a  good  reason  why  .

            *  here’s  where  his  secret  goes  but  let’s  say  he  got  a  lot  of  money  *

           at  first  ,  avery  didn’t  know  what  to  do  with  the  money  .  he  just  needed  enough  to  get  him  off  his  feet  .  but  after  time  ,  he  did  everything  he  had  planned  before  .  he  had  his  nice  apartment  ,  his  luxurious  car  ,  started constructing  own  restraurant  ,    &    a  pile  of  designer  clothes  that  eventually  were  given  to  him  by  brands  over  time  .  his  following  on  social  media  kept  growing    &    brands  kept  coming  to  him  to  promote  their  products  ,    &    suddenly  avery  didn’t  need  to  do  what  he  used  to  to  gain  money  any  more  .  he  started  a  youtube  channel  where  he  would  teach  people  how  to  cook  ,  a  channel  that  soon  hit  off    &    earned  him  more  money  over  time  .  eventually  ,  he  settled  into  his  new  profit    &   his  new  life  as  avery  ybarra  .  he  wasn’t  matías  castillo  any  more  ,    &   it  about  time  the  world  knew  about  it  .

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘  .

           due  to  the  course  his  life  took  ,  avery  has  altered  a  lot  through  the  years  .  when  he  was  a  child  ,  he  had  a  simplistic  outlook  on  life    &    didn’t  really  take  notice  of  a  lot  of  things  ,  mostly  because  he  didn’t  need  to  .  now  ,  avery  is  thoughtful  .  every  decision  he  makes  has  to  be  well  thought  out  before  he  can  even  consider  carrying  it  out  ,  mostly  due  to  the  fact  that  he  doesn’t  want  to  embarrass  himself  or  come  across  as  somebody  who’s  relatively  useless  .  avery  is  also  very  critical  of  other  people’s  actions  .  he  has  this  mindset  where  he  believes  he  is  superior  to  other  people  ,    &    that  often  shines  through  in  consistent  eye  rolling    &    only  listening  to  half  of  what  someone  says  before  occupying  his  mind  with  something  else  .  if  he  sees  someone  as  being  dull    &    boring  ,  he’ll  immediately  shut  off    &    act  like  they  don’t  exist  because  to  him  ,  they’re  just  wasting  their  time  talking  to  him  .

           despite  all  this  ,  however  ,  avery  is  very  humble  about  his  career  .  he  knows  he’s  a  good  cook    (    after  all  ,  he  won  hell’s  kitchen    !    )    but  he  doesn’t  let  it  get  to  his  head  .  he  knows  he  can  be  better   &    excel  in  it  ,  so  until  he’s  the  best  of  the  best  ,  he’s  not  satisfied  .  he’s  very  ambitious    &    is  not  afraid  to  speak  his  mind  if  it  means  it’ll  benefit  him  in  some  way  .  a  lot  of  the  time  ,  he  speaks  his  mind  anyway  .  avery  is  a  very  outspoken  individual  ,  not  afraid  to  voice  his  opinion  no  matter  who  agrees  or  disagrees  .  the  fact  of  the  matter  is  ,  he  simply  doesn’t  care  enough  .  people  are  generally  irrelevant  to  him  ,  especially  if  they  serve  no  purpose  in  his  life  so  it’s  not  uncommon  for  him  to  be  rude    &    brash  whenever  he  wants  to  be  ,  even  if  it’s  uncalled  for  .  he  doesn’t  care  about  hurting  other’s  feelings  ,  no  matter  the  cost  of  it  .

           avery  is  also  ,  despite  popular  belief  ,  incredibly  loyal  .  he’s  not  opposed  to  sleeping  with  strangers  ,  but  when  he’s  committed  to  something  ,  he’s  in  it  wholeheartedly  until  he  loses  interest  or  for  whatever  reason  he  can’t  anymore  .  but  ,  getting  close  to  avery  is  very  difficult  .  with  him  being  a  secretive  individual  ,  he  tends  to  hide  his  thoughts    &    feelings  so  as  a  result  ,  can  come  across  as  being  quite  fickle  .  he’s  a  man  who  knows  what  he  wants  in  terms  of  his  career    &    lifestyle  ,  but  in  terms  of  everything  else  ,  he’s  still  not  sure  what  exactly  he’s  searching  for  .  he’s  an  aimless  wanderer  ,  meaning  he  travels  a  lot  in  order  to  gain  more  knowledge  .  be  it  in  food  or  culture  in  general  ,  avery  is  always  keen  to  learn  something  new    &    bring  it  home  to  share  with  everyone  else    (    or  those  who  he  feels  are  deserving  ,  that  is    )    .

michelle will answer to pretty much anything you call her as long as it pertains to her name or is a nickname that you've given her

she basically lives at the coffee shop because she hates being cooped up at home, so she'd rather be cooped up at mocha instead

she's normally curled up in a chair reading a book. or sleeping. she sleeps a lot. if you find her on the couch asleep, just move her

michelle can be very intrusive. she's always curious and wants to know what's going on with everybody, but she's one of the rare people that doesn't spread rumors. when she hears one, she straight up asks the person it's about

she's also impulsive. she doesn't always think before she speaks or acts, but she never means to be malicious and never has ill intent

she can be a little dramatic in the way that she's very passionate about things

she can be very emotional about things

although nosy and dramatic, she's a sweetheart. she'll do anything she can to cheer someone up

michelle was diagnosed with aml (acute myeloid leukemia) just before christmas. she hasn't told anybody yet because she doesn't know how, but people that frequent the coffee shop and know her will probably notice that she's a bit different. she's really tired, she's lost some color, and she's starting to lose her hair due to the chemotherapy, so if you see a random piece of colorful hair just laying on the furniture, it's probably hers. she's been wearing hats lately, which is unlike her because she's always hated covering her hair because she likes to show it off (it brings her more business to the hair salon she owns/works at because she does her own hair), so anyone that knows her that sees her with a hat on will probably be suspicious

michelle loves to color. if she's not sleeping or reading, you'll find her coloring

she's also a flirt. she's gotten herself into some trouble with girlfriends, boyfriends, and wives in the past because she doesn't think to ask if someone is in a relationship before flirting with another person (although she hasn't flirted on purpose since she's been in a relationship)

she also flirts with her friends, but it's nothing serious. she just likes to play around

she wears a lot of onesies because she's always cold

michelle is a vlogger, so if you see her talking to her camera or her phone, she’s just filming a video
