ABOUT NOLAN

TW: Depression, Anxiety, Abandonment issues

Nolan's mom was a known model of Molly Jessops, she had given up modelling when she had him. He was a mommy’s boy and was always close to her most of the time, she was a young mom who was brought in by the lure of the man called Russell Fabray who got her pregnant and then upped and left. She was obsessed with him and for the first five years of Nolan’s life, his mom spent trying to get Russell’s attention and lusting over him that it felt like he wasn’t good enough for his mom.  When his mom stopped moping about him and moved on with his life, she did everything to make it right for him and make his life better. 

Growing up, Nolan was a closed off kid and teenager he didn’t really talk to many people and he developed anxiety and depression so he would always be in his own space and going to school and then leaving without talking to people because he just didn’t like the idea of making friends because he got scared they would abandon him and not want to be in his life like a few kids had done and how his dad was never around. 

When Nolan was 15 his mom bought him a camera for his birthday and he found a love for photography and was always out taking photos it wasn’t something that he had learnt but he had taught himself everything to do with photography and then created an instagram to show off his photography and soon found people loved what he had done and he gained a following and it was what made him want to grow up and do photography.

During high school he learnt how to make friends but he was still sceptical and he still kept people at arms length for a while until he knew he could trust them. He soon met his moms friend from her modelling days and her daughter Imogen, they hit it off from the get go and it was her who got him into modelling. He did a few shoots with a few people his mom knew and then got scouted and got an agent and then started modelling professionally when he was 17 whilst he was still at school. He then started dating Imogen who was his first everything and for about 2 years they were great but things started to stop working for them, partly because she was busier than him once they were 19, she finished school, didn’t go to college so was travelling a lot for shoots, and also he was starting to realise he was into both girls and guys and felt like whilst he was confused it was right to break up with her. So they ended whilst still remaining friends to this day.

Nolan still went to college after High School, to study Photography because he knew he wanted to do freelance photography on the side of his modelling career and he honestly had a great time learning this during college. Since he graduated, life has become crazy. He went full time into modelling whilst doing photography on the side. He has also really explored his sexuality and he has found it enlightening and more understanding as time went on.

ABOUT SARAH

homophobia tw, religion cw

When Russel and Judy Fabray had their first child they placed all of their expectations for their future on them. They were told that they would be having a boy and that’s what Russel always wanted. A strong Christian first born son to pass all his knowledge to and raise as the strong family patriarch he should be. You can imagine his disappointment when the baby turned out to be a girl. Sarah Elizabeth Fabray was born without her father’s approval so she then grew up seeking it. 

While she was loved by her mother and raised to be the good Christian girl she should become. Sarah pushed hard to gain her father’s admiration. She learnt the Bible and memorised key passages. She would be the first to volunteer at church and get involved. Outside of church her father channeled some of his desire for a son onto her. She learnt to be strong and to walk over people before they could walk over you. To be a titan of business who could provide for the family. 

Sarah grew to be the perfect example to her siblings and a strong confident Christian woman. Yet no man was ever good enough to fit with Sarah’s and her parents expectations of the perfect Christian husband. As she grew Russel and Judy would match her with boys from other well respected families but it never felt right. There was never any spark or as Sarah would put it they were just wet flannels with no backbone. So while she waited for Mr Right, Sarah channeled her energy into her work. If she wasn’t going to have success in the love department and start her dream family she would have all the success in every other aspect of her life. She went to PSU studied hard and was top of her class to became a corporate lawyer in New York.

Sarah flew through the ranks at the firm with her tact skill and no nonsense approach. She had a very strict schedule that kept everything perfect and moving nicely. She had a personal trainer and kept strong kickboxing. She met a lovely man and was engaged to be married and she was on course to become partner in the firm. But when her father’s scandal came out it was devastating. The man she thought was the perfect Christian man. Who showed her faith and taught her all the qualities and things she should want in her life was a liar!

While Sarah tried to hold it all together the scandal cracked her foundation in such a significant way what everything began to fall apart. Sarah didn’t look at her faith in the same way again. It didn’t have all the answers and how could her father teach and pretend to be the Christian man he was and lie. The further Sarah looked into herself for answers the more unresolved trauma she unearthed. The main one being that she definitely wasn’t straight. But women marry men and create families as god intended. Suddenly Sarah didn’t fit what she always believed was the narrative for everyone. This paradine shift meant she became an outsider in her mind. How could God leave her high and dry like this with no answers. She couldn’t talk to anyone of the faith for fear of prosecution. This internal struggle resulted in the breakdown of her engagement. Her fiancée calling her a Jezebel and harlot for wanting women. That the devil had gotten to her. But he haven’t. She had just discovered this side of herself that she had pushed away.

Then she lost out on the role of partner at the firm. Turns out when your father who is well known in the business world has a huge nationwide scandal they don’t want your name attached to theirs. In fact they fired her and kept her away from the high paying important clients. It was a true kick in the teeth. Sarah had given everything to that firm. She worked constantly. Never taking time off, always on call and getting the best for her clients. She spent time money and all her energy to get to the top and all they did was take her success for their own and push her aside.

Then the final straw was when she lost her parents approval. Sarahs head was scrambled. Her father was an adulterous, she was queer, her engagement was over, she was still queer, and now she had lost her job. So she headed home. To whatever sanctuary she had left in her mother. But as she laid on her mother’s bed crying about her losses and seeking comfort she came out and her conservative mother after losing her husband couldn’t have a queer daughter with no prospects. She threw Sarah out.

There she was distraught wandering the streets of LA in the middle of the night. Her perfect hair matted, her perfect makeup smudged with mascara running down her face. One of her jimmy choo heals snapped. No where to go, nothing to do, no one to love.

Sarah took to a bar to drown her sorrows. She had reached such a dark place that she thought why not end it all. She was a disgrace to her family and to God. It was as she was drinkunly wandering to find the nearest bridge that this person stopped her and spoke with her. The first person with no judgement. That is how she met Guru Daksha Kumari. Daksha took Sarah in that night. Gave her a safe place to crash and the next morning Sarah awoke to Daksha doing yoga stretches and chanting mantras while this enchanting smell of incense filled the air. Sarah although a novice joined Daksha that day and a whole new world was opened up to her.

Chakras, energy, healing, vibrations, crystals, meditation, Sarah found a whole new world in holistic medicine. She went on a journey of heating around the world and learnt from shamans and healers. She healed herself and gained a whole new outlook on life. Accepting God in a different way and embracing a many faceted spirituality. She discovered spiritual gifts and could see people’s auras.

Sarah left the corporate world. She left New York. She left her material things and she left the religion she knew and found a new life. Now she lives by energy and auras. She works with a higher power and all this discovery allowed her to accept her queer self and the love she can give to anyone. Upon returning to LA Sarah started Peaceful Harmony retreat and specialises in chakra healing, meditation, and yoga. Helping people unlock their true spiritual potential.

FAMILY BACKGROUND

AVERY DUNN

☆ FULL NAME: Avery Magnolia Fabray Dunn ☆ GENDER: Ciswoman ☆ PRONOUNS: She/Her ☆ AGE: 29 (April 29th, 1995) ☆ TYPE: Half sibling; solo ☆ HOMETOWN: Shreveport, Louisiana ☆ JOB: Pro Rodeo Star ☆ SCHOOL: Freshman, majoring in Business; minoring in Agriculture ☆ SEXUALITY: Queer ☆ FACECLAIM: Katherine McNamara

ABOUT AVERY

Avery was born to an asshole of a man by the name of Russell Fabray and a not entirely saintly, up and coming country star by the name of Flora Dunn. The affair was the kind of thing kept under wraps, but that didn’t stop the hold he had on Flora. He used his name and power in the industry to keep her quiet. Even after Flora broke it off with him, his power kept her quiet, not wanting to risk retaliation and her own career. It wasn’t until well after his ways were made public that Flora, and in turn Avery, stepped forward to admit the truth.

It was known early on that Avery was a troubled child. The kind of kid who bit other kids, was physically violent at the drop of a hat, and in need of a lot of professional help. Help that her mother got her, as soon as she could. Avery was raised primarily by her grandparents, until she was mentally stable enough to join Flora while touring, at about the age of ten. Growing up on her grandparents ranch in Louisiana meant that Avery found herself happily surrounded by animals, animals that made far more sense to her than people ever did, possibly ever would. Goats were the most relatable for her and were her favorites, but cows were her safe space, often found on bad nights, curled up in the barn with one. Not the safest place for a young girl to be, but it was better knowing she had someplace to go, than if she’d just run off, a worry that persisted even long after her troubles were being dealt with.

When Avery was fifteen, her mother met a man in his early twenties, a good number of years Flora’s junior. His name was Joshua Chamberlin, affectionately called Joss by those who knew him, and despite the age gap and Avery’s dislike of how close in age to herself he was, the pair hit it off. And they hit it off well. So much so that Avery had to admit that he was good for her mother, even if she didn’t want to and didn’t outwardly show it. In fact, she took to calling him her mother’s boy toy. But, the man took things in stride, giving back just as good as he got, and in turn, earning Avery’s approval and affection. She also eventually went to work on his farm, but given he was the boy next door, she also still helped out with her grandparents when she was needed.

Another thing Avery fell in love with while living with her grandparents, was the rodeo. A terrifying venture, but it was something she was endeared towards and eventually found herself taking part in. It was the thing she loved more than life on the farm and those dreams manifested into a career. All through her teens she built up a name for herself and by the time she was able, she was hitting the pro circuit.

Within the last few years, Avery found herself at home in Louisiana more and more, helping Joss on the farm as he struggled with some health issues and her mother was on tour. This, plus her grandparents considering passing on the farm, most likely to Joss, as most of her aunts and uncles had lives and farms of their own, and even those that stayed home were getting older themselves, Avery knew she’d need to be around more. She needed to be able to run things and with times changing and farms and ranches constantly getting bought out and ruined, she knew she needed extra help. A degree in business seemed like the best way to go about it. While she could have easily gone to LSU and stayed close to home, her mother pushed her towards PSU, wanting to give her an experience outside of the south and what she was used to.

Flora has a handful of nicknames for Avery, but her main ones are Sweet Pea and Sassafras, one for when she’s being sweet and another for when she’s running her mouth, and truly being her mother’s daughter. From there, Avery earned the nickname Sassy. Both a trait and a way of life. It’s one she wears proudly, and literally. Thanks to Joss, she owns a number of denim vests and jackets that bear Sassy across the back that she wears with pride. She was born with bright red hair it eventually faded to strawberry blonde hair, that went fully blonde within the last few years. Due to this, Avery tends to dye her hair red, having grown fond of it over the years. Though, every now and again she’ll let it fade fully and grow out, to give her hair a break.
