biography

tw: medical malpractice, death

being the daughter of palmview's it couple (a nickname coined by herself, at age 8) was the best thing bella could have asked for. she grew up surrounding by love and support, and watched her parents build a community that often felt like a safety net for her as well. despite being more on the quiet side, she bloomed. anyone would, with all the right circumstances. isabella had amazing grades, often being at the top of her class, amazing friends and an amazing family.

one of those friends was, of course, more special than the others. she and the other girl were inseparable for as long as any one could remember. when the time came, they even went to the same university in miami and lived together. (death and medical malpractice tw) a year after they finished their undergraduate degrees, isabella's friend died unexpectedly at their home and despite bella's efforts to keep her breathing, weeks after getting a thorough medical check-up and being sent back with the words "there's nothing to worry about". (end of death and medical malpractice tw)

bella had graduated with a public health degree and was a year into medical school when it happened and, as much as she tried to, couldn't keep going. after losing her best friend, there was no dealing with the fact that she would be experiencing something similar firsthand, again and again, if she were to become a doctor. she needed a new plan and she also needed people, as their apartment and life in miami had become utterly lonely.

she moved back to palmview three years ago, to be near her family and closed ones, and turned to law school instead, determined to make so that no one would ever pay for a doctor's mistake again, not on her watch. for the next three years, she did school along with part time jobs and rebuild herself.

she's been working at the hospital for almost a year now, still being mentored by a more experienced lawyer on the actual malpractice investigations and trials that happen every now and then, but mostly in advisory and risk management roles within the hospital's administration.

extras

living arrangements: bella tried to live by herself right upon moving back to palmview but after weeks of constantly spending time in family and friend's homes during the day and calling her parents in the middle of the night to calm her down after nightmares, they decided it would be best for her to spend some time with them in mango bay. she lived with valé and nora for six months before getting her own bungalow in seaglass gardens.

sexuality: isabella was always sure she was straight. she'd liked and dated boys before, so why wouldn't she be? growing up in the herrera household, there were very open conversations about different sexual and romantic orientations, but bella never thought they applied to her in particular, despite the couple girls she'd kissed in truth or dare games and parties in college. but lately, something is making her wonder. the older she gets, the more she compares the relationships around her, and notices how different they seem to her past ones with men. she thinks about her late friend, whom she loved so much and couldn't imagine life without. she thinks about how she sees some women now and how her thoughts and dreams try to tell her things. but then she also thinks about how she's too old to be figuring this out, despite knowing there's no right age to learn how to be true to yourself. she's dated men before, but now she's not so sure if she's ever felt anything for them.

mental health: she still has nightmares and panic/anxiety attacks about what happened to her friend, but they're not nearly as bad and don't happen that often as they did years ago; they mostly happen when on important dates (her birthday and death anniversary) or when she goes too many days without enough sleep. bella usually calms herself down or calls/texts family or close friends when it happens.

connections

her best friend's family. any type of relative! but i'm specifically looking for a brother who's roughly the same age as bella, she and him would have been (or still are!) romantically involved after the friend's passing. vibes are loosely based off cameron and chase from house m.d., basically leading up to the vibes of this scene. the brother might become an official wc on the main later!

platonic. open to all kinds of friendships!! besties, found family types, childhood friends, work friends, good and bad influences, unlikely friends, confidants...

romantic. past flings or one night stands, exes, summer romances (your muse visited palmview every year!), friends with benefits. i'm also very open to plotting crushes or flirtationships with women, it would be very helpful to develop bella's journey with her sexuality! just note that as of right now she wouldn't really see it as a romantic thing.

negative. bella's not really confrontational, but if there's a good reason or some misunderstanding i could definitely see her having a couple disagreements and estrangements! maybe former friends or rivals too.

palmview locals. bella has lived in palmview her whole life, so if your muse has too or moved in a long time ago, we can work out something based on that!

✦ EMMETT HAYES. counterpart: ponyboy. known as: the dreamer.

age: twenty seven pronouns: he/him sexuality: unlabeled hometown: queens, nyc current location: palmview, florida occupation: barista at early morning brews residence: harborview residences 1C

first impression: quiet, thoughtful, a little distant

actually: loyal to a fault, curious, reckless when someone needs him

✦ THE STORY:

triggers: mentions of jail & bad parenting

emmett hayes grew up in a fractured home where the cracks showed early. his parents’ marriage dissolved in a haze of arguments and absences, leaving him and his siblings to hold the pieces together. the adults who were supposed to be there slowly disappeared, and his older kids became the ones making sure there was food on the table, homework got done, and someone was always awake during the nights that felt too quiet. emmett learned early how to take care of people, how to carry more than he was supposed to, and how to keep his heart open even when life gave him plenty of reasons not to.

as he got older, emmett became the kind of person who was always searching for somewhere to belong. he bounced between cities, picking up whatever work he could find and never staying anywhere long enough to feel like he was truly putting down roots. he worked odd jobs, spent nights writing in worn out notebooks, and collected stories from every person he crossed paths with. while some people saw him as someone who couldn’t settle down, emmett saw it differently. he was looking for something that felt right, somewhere that felt like home. books, music, and writing were the things that kept him grounded through all the changes, the one constant he carried no matter where he ended up.

he was twenty six when everything changed. emmett had never been good at standing by when someone needed help, and that was what got him into trouble. one night, he found a homeless person being harassed by a group of people who thought they were untouchable. emmett stepped in without thinking, putting himself between them and someone who had no one else to defend them. what started as an argument turned physical, and the person on the other side happened to be the kind of person with money, connections, and a parent willing to make sure emmett paid the price. suddenly, the story was no longer about what happened that night, but about who had the power to control the outcome.

emmett ended up facing charges that landed him a year behind bars. it wasn’t the kind of place anyone would call easy, but he kept his head down, followed the rules, and used the time to reflect on the person he wanted to become. he spent hours filling notebooks with stories and thoughts, and held onto the belief that one mistake, even one that changed everything, didn’t have to define the rest of his life. after serving his sentence and earning early release for good behavior, emmett walked out with community service hours still left to complete before he was officially free from the consequences of that night.

while he was inside, writing became more than just an escape. it became a way to connect with the outside world. through a prison penpal program, emmett started exchanging letters with someone who saw him as more than the reason his name appeared on paperwork. what began as simple conversations slowly became something he looked forward to, a reminder that there was still a life waiting for him beyond the walls around him. eventually, that person convinced him that maybe palmview could be the fresh start he needed.

a month ago, emmett walked out and found himself starting over in a town he had never stepped foot in before. with a bag of belongings, a stack of notebooks, and more uncertainty than answers, he found a two bedroom apartment in harborview residences and luckily got hired at early morning brews as a full time barista. timeline: been out of jail one month. 100hrs of community service to go (he's totally throwing a party when it's over)

Cassian King

has always understood that a name can open doors, but only if the person carrying it knows how to keep them open. born the eldest of the king children, he was raised beneath the same impossible expectations that had shaped generations before him. discipline wasn't encouraged in the king household, it was demanded. excellence wasn't celebrated because it was expected. where other families measured success by happiness, the kings measured it by achievement, influence, and the ability to stay five steps ahead. fortunately for cassian, ambition came as naturally as breathing. he excelled wherever he was placed, carrying himself with a quiet confidence that made success seem effortless, even when it was anything but. basketball became his stage. with years of relentless training and a work ethic that bordered on obsessive, cassian carved out a career in the nba and continues to suit up for the miami heat season after season. unlike many who grew up surrounded by privilege, cassian has never relied on arrogance to command a room. he remembers names, tips generously, chats with strangers without making them feel beneath him, and carries himself with the kind of charm that puts people at ease before they've realized he's already reading them. in a way, that's always been the dangerous part about cassian. beneath the polished interviews, tailored suits, and effortless charisma lives a man who inherited far more than the king name. while others see an athlete with a refined appreciation for fine art, only a select few know his talents extend far beyond basketball. cassian doesn't simply admire masterpieces, he recreates them. his secret is that he is an accomplished art forger, capable of recreating masterpieces with unnerving precision, selling his work exclusively through carefully cultivated private circles of collectors wealthy enough to pay for discretion as much as authenticity. every client is handpicked. every transaction is calculated. no loose ends. no unnecessary risks. his reputation doesn't exist because, officially, it can't. palmview has always been home, but lately it's begun to feel less like a hometown and more like a chessboard. and cassian king has never been the kind of man to make a move without already knowing how the match ends. perhaps, for the first time in his life, the greatest move isn't knowing which piece to sacrifice, it's deciding whether to keep playing the game at all.

Sexuality & Relationship Status:

cassian has never been shy about going for what, or who, he wants. he's known he was bisexual since middle school and not a single part of him cares to hide that. despite his tendency to flirt from time to time, for the past eight years he's been married to the woman who has been his rock since he was a teen. for all the ambition that drives him, home has always remained his greatest success. no endorsement, championship, or carefully brokered deal could ever rival the life they've built together. beneath the polished smile and calculated decisions is a man fiercely devoted to the people he calls family. their comfort, their happiness, and above all their safety will always come before his own. if that means making impossible choices, getting his hands dirty, or carrying burdens they'd never know existed, so be it. he is also a proud father of two five-year-old twins.

INTRODUCING.....

you were born knowing how to make an entrance. maybe it was something in the way you came into the world already screaming loud enough to make sure everybody knew you were there, or maybe it was something you picked up along the way. either way, you never really learned how to do anything quietly. you laughed too loudly, talked with your hands, danced when there wasn’t any music playing, and developed a habit of turning even the most painfully ordinary tuesday into something worth remembering. you learned early that being charming could get you through a lot of doors, being funny could get you through even more, and when neither of those things worked, you dazzled them.

your childhood wasn’t exactly kind to you. you grew up with more uncertainty than you’d ever willingly admit to, learning young that stability was something you had to build for yourself. there were times you had to grow up faster than you should have, times you learned how to make something out of nothing and how to stretch what little you had a little further. you got good at reading people, too. good at knowing when somebody needed you to keep your mouth shut and when they needed you to talk them down. you learned when your body would meet a bruised evening, and you learned how to cope. there were years you’d rather leave behind, but you don’t really talk about them like they were something that broke you. if anything, you joke about them. you learned how to take the things that hurt and make them into stories you could laugh about, because you’ve never been interested in letting the worst things that happened to you become the most interesting things about you.

somewhere along the way, you figured out that you really, really liked being happy. not the quiet kind, either. you like happiness that takes up space. music turned up too loud, drinks that are far too sweet, clothes that make absolutely no practical sense, dancing barefoot in somebody’s kitchen, staying out until sunrise because nobody wants to be the first person to call it a night. you became very good at celebrating things, mostly because you know there’s no guarantee you’ll get another chance. your friend gets a new job? you’re celebrating. somebody finally gets the apartment they’ve been trying to land? you’re bringing champagne. someone you love has had a terrible week? congratulations, they now have dinner waiting for them and a playlist specifically designed to bully them into feeling better.

MEASURE YOUR LIFE IN LOVE

you care about people in a way that’s almost impossible to hide. you remember the little things people mention once and assume everyone else forgot. their favorite candy. the song they used to listen to with their mother. the way they take their coffee. the name of the childhood pet they brought up six months ago. you notice when someone gets quieter than usual, when their smile doesn’t quite reach their eyes, when they say they’re fine a little too quickly. you don’t always know how to fix things, but you’ve never needed to know how to fix somebody in order to sit beside them while they hurt. sometimes you just stay. you’ve always thought that mattered more than having the perfect thing to say.

you’re affectionate, too, shamelessly so. you call people gorgeous without thinking about it, kiss cheeks, throw your arms around somebody because apparently three days apart is now a personal tragedy, and tell people you love them simply because you do. you’ve never really understood why people insist on waiting for special occasions to say things that are true every day. maybe spending so much of your life wondering whether people were going to stay taught you not to waste time pretending you don’t care when they do. once somebody becomes yours, they’re yours. you show up. you remember. you make room. you make sure they know they’ve got somewhere to go when everything else feels like too much.

six months ago, you showed up with your bags, your music, far too many clothes, and a plan that was probably only seventy percent thought through. you didn’t know anybody. you didn’t know where anything was. you still occasionally get turned around despite having lived here long enough that you really should know better. but you made it yours anyway. you found people. you found places. you found your way into the kind of life where you can come home and have a routine. and after everything you’ve been through, you’ve decided that’s more than enough reason to make some noise about it.

RENT RELATED WANTED CONNECTIONS:

HIS MIMI — TAKEN BY HOLLY

you met them at the kind of hour when neither of you should have been awake, let alone making decisions that seemed questionable. you flirted lightly, innocently even, and then you two never stopped hanging out. angel and them have been there for each other from the very moment that he arrived to town. sometimes they kiss, sometimes they laugh, sometimes they gossip, it's never a boring time for the two of them. the besties sort of duo.

HIS MARK — TAKEN BY SULLY

you need somebody who knows how to keep up with you. somebody who has witnessed your most dramatic moments and somehow still comes back for more. they’re the person who gets the voice notes, the blurry 2 a.m. selfies, the “BABY YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE WHAT JUST HAPPENED” texts. you drag them into your adventures, they probably enable at least half of them, and somewhere along the way they became one of your safest people. unlikely friends kinda vibe.

HIS ROGER — TAKEN BY CHARLIE

you weren’t supposed to care about them this much. maybe they initially found you exhausting, and you found their brooding absolutely fascinating. whatever it was, you kept coming back. because you can tell there’s so much more underneath them, and somehow they can see through all your glitter and theatrics, too. you don’t need them to be happy all the time, and they don’t need you to pretend you’re okay all the time. they were struggling with something and angel happened to be there to help them through it. it's their secret. protective friendship kind of vibes.

HIS MAUREEN — TAKEN BY TREY

oh, you two are a problem. you met and immediately decided that the other person was fascinating. you encourage each other’s worst impulses. you hype each other up. you have absolutely gotten kicked out of somewhere together. you probably have at least three stories that begin with “okay, technically, neither of us did anything wrong—” and end with a completely different story. chaotic besties kinda vibes.

HIS JOANNE — TAKEN BY ALYSSA

you absolutely did not understand them at first. they’re composed where you’re impulsive. practical where you’re spontaneous. they probably have a calendar, which you find deeply suspicious. you probably make fun of them for being responsible right up until you’re the one calling them because you need somebody responsible. but there’s something about them that settles you. opposites attract kinda vibes.

HIS COLLINS — open

you don’t necessarily need to be romantically involved. maybe you’re just two people who somehow ended up sitting beside each other one night and realized neither of you had any interest in putting your armor back on. they know angel without the performance. angel know them without theirs. there’s something almost startlingly intimate about the friendship because neither of you really bothers pretending around the other. two souls bare-boned with one another. no strings attached.

neighbors, a roommate, people who to protests with him, karaoke buddies, and whatever else we can think of!

MOTHERLY LOVE — TAKEN BY MADHAVI

GIVE ME EVERYTHING TONIGHT — TAKEN BY QUINN

DANCE UNTIL THE NIGHT DIES — TAKEN BY SUMMER

quintessa was born and raised in palmview at the only child of parent who had showed her nothing but love and raised her with such good values. growing up, she had been nothing but loving to them, and she had never hesitated to show them that. she was never shy of it, yet, when she turned seventeen, for some reason, the switch in her head flipped.

people thought it was just teenage angst, that she would eventually grow out of it, yet ones who were closest to her knew the day that changed her to the woman that she is today.

it was just a weekend summer trip with her and few of her friends, they were celebrating their graduation heading to clearwater, when their car lost control, swerving to the opposite lane and meeting their demise.

only quintessa was able to make it out, even after she picked up the strength to get them all out of there. as much effort as she could, she was already too late.

and that had influenced her to pursue being a firefighter, her parents finding out that she was going to the firefighter academy when she got in. it was the only thing in her mind at this point, maybe this would be something that could help her cope with the fact that couldn’t save them, be able to save people and not fail them like she once had failed her friends.

at thirty-four, she gives birth to stella rose st. james, named her after two of her best friends, and she became the center of her universe. it was unexpected, she was unexpected, but she is a blessing in disguise, the light that had brightened up her life after years of keeping the darkness to herself. she did her best to pass on the love and the values she had learned from her parents, and at the same time, she had learned to be patient, to help her growth, took her to classes, anywhere she could pour the endless energy she had that her mother loved and still does to this day.

quintessa doesn’t ever want to dim stella’s light, to be able to keep something that she’s lost at such a young age.

over the years, besides raising stella, quintessa kept focus on her career, quietly climbing into the ranks, followed her superior’s orders, though would break them on several occasions if it means saving lives. that had been her number one priority throughout.

all that hardwork that she has put in, it eventually came to fruition, as five years ago, lieutenant quintessa st. james has now been promoted to captain quintessa st. james.

at  age  6teen,  an art project she completes for school is recognised, validating her creative voice.  she  also  experiences  her  first  crush.  it's  intense,  and  definitely  unrequited.

at  age  7teen,  she  confides  in  a  friend  about  her  said  crush  and  her  trust  is  betrayed.  she's  also  voted  most  likely  to  make anywhere feel like home and graduates.

ADULTHOOD

significant  events:

at  twenty1,  she  graduates with her bachelors and immediately moves into her masters program.

at  twenty3,  she decides to start her own substack, which she uses as something resembling an online junk journal. she also takes over the social accounts for the public libraries within her county.

animals  just  seem  to  flock  to  her.  people  do  too  tbh  ..  i  feel  like  she  has  that  aura  that  makes  people  just  wanna  tell  her  things.  especially  strangers, and she always has enough room on her plate for anything and everyone, even when she doesn't.

 gothic/horror  romance  are  her  favourite  genres  to  read,  but  she'll  read  literally  anything.

collects so many things: dice, creepy knick-knacks; vintage percolators, mugs, and just about every other dish you can think of; bookmarks; stamps; and anything that could be used as crafting supplies.

loves  all  things  spicy.  she's  also  a  phenomenal  cook & baker, and you better believe it is 100000000000% one of her favourite ways to show her love.

99.99999999999999%  of  everything  she  owns  is  secondhand  because  they  remind  her  that  things  can  be  loved  and  still  exist  afterwards.

enjoys fresh ingredients so she definitely has as much in her lil apartment garden as she can grow. she shares as much as she's able with both her neighbours and literally anyone who expresses even just the slightest interest, even if it's just something she perceives to be true.

grossly sentimental? just in case that wasn't obvious.

her substack primarily includes diary entries, short stories, recipes, craft projects, reviews. she only utilises the 'tip jar' option rather than putting anything behind a pay wall.

she's meddlesome in the way that she always wants to help rather than to cause drama and/or gossip.

hums just about all the time. will occasionally break out into a lip syncing performance like she's in a musical but that's only when her current ear worm is so good she can't help herself.

hopeless romantic, heart is never anywhere but on her sleeve, gets hurt very easily but never lets that change her.

loves nearly everything so much that she just never knows what to do with herself!!!!!!!!!!!!! but can be very scary if she's deemed you a bad egg.

big lover to ttrpgs and definitely hosts weekly game / craft nights at her place, or anywhere that will open their doors tbh.

her label comes from her ability to see the magic in everything, and her gift to draw it out for anyone (un)fortunate to find themselves in her circle / presence.

Born into one of India’s wealthiest families, the Mewar dynasty, Indra grew up being fed with golden spoons and getting almost everything his heart desired. The oldest sibling and therefore heir to the dynasty, he’s next in line to take over his family’s wealth, which includes various companies which specialize in hotels. Proud and romantic, everybody might see him as an superficial elitist, though he tries to be more than that, to separate himself from the Mewar dynasty to become their own person. Especially ever since his mother had left them to pursue love and his father remarried, giving him the additional surname Byron due to his father's wishes, Indra just wasn't connecting to his family. From the plastic surgery and constant tantrums of his stepmother, he considered her to represent all ugliness in this world. Indra Byron-Mewar, trying to be his own person, but still under his father's thumb, still did everything in his power not to truly disappoint the patriarch, if only to make sure money kept on flowing while he could, silently, pursue his real dream of becoming an actor, be creative. There was no creativity in old constructs and hotels. Visiting acting school in New York City, he eventually vacationed with the family and met Savannah through one of his brothers. They hit it off right away, though he didn't stick around to find out if they truly belonged.

Still, his own hatred for his family hasn't stopped Indra from using his influence in and around New York City, blessed with financial aid from London, where his family usually resides these days. Knowing his influence, Indra lives in a constant bubble of wealth and fortune, forced to take care of Palmview's very own outpost, the Pelican Place Inn. Though it’s up to others to believe his confidence and grandeur or choose to look behind, to see if he hides something or is just as described: a prince charming, a handsome man of high status, longing to escape his own family name.
