#tallowooc

Amelia is bilingual, Spanish being the first language that she learned, and the one she speaks when she's with her family. But she's adjusted pretty well to speaking English most of the time.

She was raised by both of her grandparents, who she's still very close with.

Makes a living as a dance instructor, but has been saving to one day open her own studio.

Spontaneous and irresponsible as all h e c k.

Literally laughing/smiling 99% of the time.

When she does get angry/upset she gets very irrational and hot headed.

She’s hella carefree and free spirited.

so hazel is a big ol nerd / fully grown woman child and she’s my fav

she has an older sister (24yo) and a baby brother (6yo) 

all three kids have different dads and none of them were ever rlly in the picture. mom was always kind of a dead beat, she worked shitty jobs and blew all her money on booze

when hazel was 16 there was a bad house fire in the middle of the night, mom had come home from a bender and fell asleep w a lit cigarette

the three kiddos all made it out safely but mom did not

hazel has been p much raising her brother ever since, her sister didn’t want anything to do w having to deal w him so hazel took on the role more than she did

they still live together tho to help make ends meet which is super difficult bc hazel is in school full time and can only work part time

overall her life kinda Sucks tbh but the girl doesn’t let it get her down she’s still p much a ray of sunshine

she’s a fairly new muse so i dont have much else developed which means i would so love any and all plots !!! i have a v basic page here if anyone wants to peak at that and see if they wanna snag any connections :-) like this or im me and i will love u forever and ever

ANYWAY i’m sry i haven’t been around today y’all i will try to get around tomorrow if not........later tonight at like 3am when i will probably have random energy

so with that being said, please plot w me if we haven’t already

i will have my phone on me

hullo bbs! now i’m embarrassed because i spent all of today biking with my brothers but i’m back! i’ve been itching to rp all year but, having just graduated high school, i’ve been pretty busy! but i’m here and have plenty of muse for my girl tess! so here’s a semi-long intro even though i told myself to keep it short:

quick note: so basically if you know who tessa virtue is (my queen), a lot of my tess’s story is inspired by her life!

little miss tessa grew up in san francisco, california as the younger out of two girls

tessa’s whole life revolves around figure skating. it’s basically on her mind 24/7. (major plot point ahead//tw: slight mention of injury)

so ‘grew up’ basically meant that until she was 12, she lived in SF but has lived in Massachusetts to Michigan to Colorado to Canada for a little bit

she’s gotten used to being on her own, usually stayed with a host family in each new location because her family couldn’t really move around with her so much

the reason she moved to tallow in the first place is because of the skating rink over in phoenix and because there happen to be really, really great coaches out here even though it’s in a really hot area lmao

she’s been training for the olympics for as long as she could remember, working day in and day out and travelling all over the world to compete (and often medal) in worlds, nationals, grand prixs, etc as well as touring.

spoiler: she didn’t make it to the 2018 pyeongchang olympics :-(

in mid 2017, tessa was heartbroken and so so distraught when she found out she had chronic compartment syndrome (a painful condition that occurs when pressure within the muscles builds to dangerous level) she basically over exerted herself

although she’d been hiding her pain for awhile, she never told anyone until it got so bad she couldn’t physically walk without pain sometimes

she’s been in recovery ever since (fell into a bit of a spiral after the devastation hit) doing all sorts of physiotherapy as well as seeing a sports/personal psychologist

so immediately after the 2018 olympics, she found a new coach in phoenix and new apartment in tallow, and takes the drive there every morning & every afternoon

tess will compete in the 2022 beijing games if it k i l l s her

she’s just a lil worried that the world will be against her, though as 26 is pretty old to compete as a figure skater

(but she was robbed all the way in 2014’s sochi games too when she was 18 because the judges were being sketch)

in the middle of the day, tessa works at jumpin jewels. her other real “passion” lies within the fashion industry.

because she’s pretty known in the skating community, she’s been a brand ambassador for/has worked with a handful of different US fashion/lifestyle/self-care stores or brands.

while she knows she’s the shit in the skating world, she really doesn’t expect a lot of people to know who she is, but if you meet her, there’s no way you’d not know she skates!!

due to years of being judged and needing to be at the top of her game, tessa’s gotten pretty good at self-regulating and sticking to precise boundaries she sets for herself (going to the gym/eating healthy/all that jazz) but that also means she’s kinda judgy

she’s also used to putting on a brave and untouchable facade since she’s been competitively skating since she was a teeny tiny girl, so my bby is not that great at showing her emotions. she could be hurt but doesn’t want you to know she’s vulnerable or needs help.

tessa’s kinda a big ass dork (not in the nerdy sense, but in the every-once-in-a-while-when-she’s-not-in-the-middle-of-serious-competition-season, she’s a hoot and a half! kinda goofy this one)

homegirl cannot cook to save her life -- she can make simples like cereal, smoothies, and put together a salad, but dON’t let her near an oven or stove! (she can follow instructions from some of her delivered nutritionist-approved subscription boxes that get sent her way)

come watch cheesy ass rom coms, disney movies, and dramas with her! never ever horror/thrillers because those are too fuckin scary and she’ll have to sleep with the lights on

that’s all i can think of right now!

possible/wanted connections:

tessa’s older sister -- she probably found a new career opportunity around tallow &/or knew she could also keep an eye on tessa for their parents

mama/papa bear to watch other her -- tess sometimes is so focused on her career that maybe she misses a meal or two or stays up way to late, this person/people help her stay alive

her coaches -- gotta be good @ skatin lol

any skater that tessa competed against -- opportunity for an enemies connections or enemies to friends storyline

gym buddies -- while tess has a personal trainer that she skypes in with biweekly, she exercises a lot so if your muse does too, maybe they see each other in the gym and start a lil routine of exercises together

co-worker at jumpin jewelry -- they could be both in love with fashion and spend down time talking about trends and shit? aka also a shopping buddy outside of work

old skating partner (would be a male, inspired by scott moir) -- there’s a whole storyline that could open with this character; ice dance is a denomination of competitive skating where a male & female are judged more on their artistry of a skate rather than a big emphasis on technical execution of different tricks. partners need to be so intune with each other that these two would’ve been so so close, basically always together.  sO they’d have competed for a long time until for some reason they stopped skating together (maybe they just outgrew each other’s body & weren’t a fit anymore, or maybe there was a big explosive fight, or maybe one of them just decided to stop ice dance and switch to another discipline of skating) but somehow they both found themselves in tallow

literally A N Y T H I N G or A N Y O N E
