"Dad, it's okay, I'm an adult. I can call myself an Uber, you go and have fun with your girlfriend," Phoebe teased him over the phone. Her old man would pick her up at nights when she covered the afternoon at the bakery truck but today he had a date. Because he was a functional adult that was out of the woods and trying to make the most of life. And she should do the same as he constantly reminder her.

Her friends message group kept buzzing and it drove her a little crazy, especially when she was baking like crazy for an event the next day, in this case a babyshower that had to have the perfect cookies. So she muted the thing and tossed the phone in one of her coat pockets, remaining unaware of the fact that Omar was back in town, out anf about. She would've like to know. A little warning would've been nice. She didn't even hear the buzzing when Phil called her to warn her that he had bumped into the guy and was now going to the bakery truck.

The knocks on the side of the truck happened sometimes, when she was too focused on the oven or decorating and not at the front--she normally had help too but they had left for the day already and she had lost track of time and should've closed.

"Hey sorry about that, I was finishing up a delivery. What can I get you this fine evening?" she said almost without taking a breath before she focused on the actual person there.

Omar? Omar was back? No one told her Omar was back. She would've certainly closed early and not meet him here, looking like a manic person on energy drinks. "You're back?" she asked before shaking her head at her own words. "Sorry, hi! It's been a hot minute," she said with a smile--that wasn't entirely truthful but heck, she was a paid actress (or had been anyway). Taking a few steps she got out of the bakery truck and shortened the distance between them giving him a quick hug. "How you've been?"

Alejandra Valenzuela. Late 20s early thirties. Works a desk job she doesn't love but pays the bills and has been working similar jobs since high-school. Not that close to her family she moved 3 states away from them and only visits for xmas and so. Only child (dad remarried and has more kids she never really met).

Likes to write (she is HUGE in A03 okay) but never truly pursued that type of career because she lives in the real world, and in the real world there are bills to pay, a rent to get to and college wasn't cheap (and she'd be paying that for the next 10 odd years). She recently changed jobs within the same company and is hooked up to headphones at least half of her day. Has lunch on her desk.

She has few friends that she's close to and loves music. Sings in the shower and was part of the glee choir with her friend Seamus but neither pursued a career on that (she is a bachelor in arts but corporate life pays better). she grew up listening to boybands and staying away from the disn.ey channel shows and has a pretty average life. no huge groundbreaking, earth-shattering things happen to her. and that is fine. she had always wanted to be an adult and now she is one and oddly functional and okay with it (though she does have her moments of crying watching christmas movies while eating icecream / drinking wine / eating an edib.le).

Phoebe Rojas (born Phoebe Richards). One of the original ones but with a few changes. Phoebe is one of the youngest in her home--she lived with her foster family since she was very little. Doesn't remember her birth mom and has always been thankful for being Alfonso's little kid.

The gang she grew up with are Caspian (the eldest), Jack and then Mags and Phil joined when she was almost a teenager--she wasn't but wanted to believe that she was. Others came and went (like Wanda and Pietro) but they were the core five. When she was 8 Alfonso popped the question and she said yes, making him not just her foster dad but full dad and making Cas her (legal) brother, though she's somewhat closer to Phil than Cas at times, possibly because they're the same age.

During senior year she did some stupid things but nothing that could go on a permanent record. She went to college and studied acting, wanting to follow Alfonso's footsteps. She did it and can be seen in some sitcoms from the early 2010's. Since then she took a step back from acting to spend time with her family (after Cas was deployed and Alfonso had a stroke to be precise) and realized she liked doing things for other people, from taking care of them to cooking. She started stress baking during the pandemic and eventually built a business around it.
