Oliver was nervous. More than nervous. There was a hollowness in his gut that threatened to choke him. He’d gone his entire life without knowing a single thing about his mother. He didn’t even know her name. She hadn’t wanted him and so, Oliver didn’t want her, in any form or shape. But when his 31st birthday had rolled around, Oliver had realized that not knowing about his mother meant not knowing half of himself and that wasn’t something he was prepared to deal with. So, he’d done the one thing he could think of: bought one of those DNA testing kits. Which had brought him -- seated at a table at Baked Comfort, picking at a double chocolate muffin, and waiting to meet his half sister.

BIOGRAPHY

Trigger Warnings: Drugs, Depression, Anxiety 

Sutton was born into a life of luxury. Her mother was a famous fashion designer from Manhattan and her father a doctor from Maine. Her parents were total opposites. Her mother was about the money and the most expensive things. Her father, while also had good money, would much rather have a more simpler life. The only things they had in common was their dedication and work ethic to the jobs and their shared offspring. They divorced when Sutton was eight, leaving her mother staying in Manhattan and giving most of her custody away due to her high demand job. Even though Sutton was able to visit her mother during the summer and holidays and loved being in New York, she still couldn’t help but want more of a mother/daughter relationship with her.  

Growing up in Maine and away from the New York scene, Sutton always felt some resentment towards her mother for giving her up over her job. Even with that feeling stuffed inside of her, Sutton went on through school and made lots of friends and have great grades. When it came time for college, she was lucky enough to get into a college in New York. Between attending the New York School of Design and being closer to her mother, Sutton was excited to hopefully get the mother/daughter bond she had always wanted. Sadly that dream went sour quickly. Halfway through her first year of college, having very little progress with her mother, Sutton decided to turn to something that made her forget about her troubles and gave her the thrill she was wanting..partying and drugs . This caused her to miss classes and let her grades slip. By the end of her freshman year, Sutton was put on academic probation.

When her parents finally become aware of Sutton’s lack of responsibility, they manage to sit her down and threaten something worse for her then getting kicked out of school…cutting her off completely. Worried by this, Sutton put on a face promising to do. But the thrill of her new life was to much for Sutton to ignore. She kept giving in to the temptation of making her thoughts and anxiety disappear. Sadly, she ended up getting kicked out of school and sent to rehab instead where she was able to get physically and emotional better. During her time in rehab her parents were finally able to understand her desire for a better mother/daughter relationship.

After Sutton left and was ready to start fresh with her life, she managed to spend more time in New York and tried getting internships with different fashion houses. During her time back in the city, Sutton learned how much she enjoyed making her own clothes and decided to prove her to her parents that she could stay sober and do her own thing in the fashion world. Fast forward and Sutton moved back to Maine a few years ago and thanks to a loan from her father and step mother, Sutton is now creating and running her own little clothing boutique called Sutton’s Chic Boutique.

» BACKGROUND «

If there was one word to sum up Sutton Matthews in high school, it would be popular. Just like any other girl living on the rich side of Newport Beach, California, with a poolhouse, a large pool, three cars and a house you could have three families in, Sutton was spoiled, popular and well liked around town - unless you count those who actually went to public school and wanted to have a situation like those in a private school had. Ever since she was just a baby, Sutton would have absolutely everything. When she was a baby, it would be the latest baby clothes made by specific designers her mother hand-picked, and the best nannies her father made sure weren’t there to kidnap their one and only daughter. It was fair to say that Sutton Matthews had it all, from scratch.

High School in itself was nothing like a public high school. With her mother and father their paychecks put together, Sutton could have gone to any kind of school, all around the world, but wanting to stay in Newport Beach, California, they eventually opted for Carden Hall Elementary and Junior High School for Boys and Girls a nd Sage Hill High School, both located in Newport Beach. They wanted the very best for their daughter. Of course, Sutton was extatic and thrilled to be able to go to such a school as Carden Hall and even to Sage Hill, especially when you didn’t have to wear a uniform at Sage Hill. But she was also happy because she could finally find friends who she could hang out with after school or even at their house. 

Ever since Sutton’s third year and last year at Carden Hall, when she turned 13, she started to hate her mother. Not because she wanted to stay young forever, but because she saw her cheat on her father. Sutton’s father was a person the young girl admired more than anything in the world, and seeing her mother do such an act that could ruin everything they had, well, it wasn’t something she liked, at all. And every year that passed, her hatred for her mother continued to grow, and it started to show. At first, she was a model student, perfect grades, perfect friends, perfect everything, but soon, that started to decrease. Her grades went from an A to a C, and slowly, but surely, Sutton started to hang out with Isobel, a girl she had officially named her best friend at Carden Hall, more than at home, that eventually lead to shop lifting and attending parties were parents weren’t there, and drinking.

Things didn’t get better when she befriended one of the bad boys from Newport Union, a public school. Daryl was one of those guys who didn’t seem to care if the girl was rich or not, as long as she was up for a good party and up to taking drugs, he was game: and Sutton definitely was. Opting to eventually give up her virginity to him, she soon realized that that was a bad decision. A week after she had given him her virginity, he stopped calling her. He didn’t even pick her up at school, and she realized that the only reason he ever spoke to her or partied with her was because she was one of those self-preserved rich girls ready to give it up for the first to come. 

Graduating from Sage Hill a year after Isobel, Sutton knew she wanted out of Newport Beach. Granted, she would have to leave everything behind, but her father left her with a pretty good amount of money on her bank account that would come in handy. But when searching on the internet for a way out of Newport, Sutton fell upon an advertisement of TWY. At first she was skeptical, but figuring Barcelona, Spain, would be far enough for her to actually disappear to, she applied for the show, in hopes that her fashion expertise and ways of planning the best parties - in Newport Beach that is - would come in handy in Barcelona.

» PERSONALITY «

Despite what people might tell you in Newport Beach, Sutton isn’t as bad as she seemed to be. Yes, she was a complete bitch during high school, and she had ways of cursing out snide remarks that could hurt people their feelings, but once someone got to know her, or when her mother wasn’t around, Sutton is actually nice. The girl has a thing for fashion, and it is obvious with the way she mixes clothes up. Many people wondered how Sutton and Isobel have been friends for as long as they have, but if people would ask Isobel who Sutton really was, they’d automatically get a response that would most likely make the blonde girl emotional. ‘She’s emotional at times, a great listener, god, she’s helped me through so many rough patches with all my ex-boyfriends, including actually insulting them to the point where they came up to my front door the next day and apologized. She’ll always be there with a bucket of ice cream and girly movies when you’re having a day off, and yes, she can be a bitch at times, okay, maybe a lot, but she’s actually really nice. You should give her a chance.’ - Quote by Isobel Greene, Sutton’s best friend.
