tw: death, murder lorenzo aurelio gabriel was born and raised in miami, florida as the eldest son of amalia & sebastian gabriel, three minutes before his fraternal twin sister was born. growing up, the gabriel's have always been a very happy family, so it was no surprise to many that the young children grew up so well-behaved. lorenzo & his twin's parents were both famous street racers in the miami area, which is how they met, and the two instantly fell for one another. their relationship was honestly just like dom & letty from the fast and furious franchise, the only difference in that they had two children together that were both theirs instead of the one that is only dom's son in the franchise and letty's stepson. due to their parents being such prominent names in the street racing world, enzo always looked up to their parents and wanted to be just like them, although every time he asked his dad always retorted back with the answer that he had been to young to drive. it wasn't until his sixteenth birthday that his dad actually let him get behind the wheel of his 90s jaguar and drive around the neighborhood a bit, although enzo would have much preferred racing alongside his dad, but he once again said that he was too young. being the rebellious kid that he was however, enzo never truly listened to either of his parents warnings, getting behind the wheel and running his first race with the help of his sister. lucky for him, he was able to win his first race with the help of his team, but there had been quite a few experienced racers that didn't like the sound of that. due to this, enzo tried the best he could to keep his identity a secret as well as why he was so good at racing on his first attempt, but karma truly is a bitch and it was only a matter of time before said racers found out who his family was. as a result of their anger, said racers stormed his childhood home in their sports cars while both of his parents were on a jog, but only managed to run over his dad and took enzo's trophy with them as leverage, while his mom was able to make an escape. it wasn't until he had gotten home from school that he saw what had happened, falling into a deep depression for the next few days and swearing off street racing as well. he knew that if he had just listened to his dad in the first place, this would have never happened, and went mute for the next few years as a result of his overwhelming guilt for not doing so. because of this, his mom had made the decision to move both of her children to her childhood home where they would stay with their grandparents for a few days until she was able to find a home for a fresh start. ten years later, enzo now lives in the arconia apartments not far from his family, but he continues to have nightmares about seeing his dad's unconscious body and wakes up screaming most of the time, much to his neighbors dismay, which is why he steps into his dad's old street racing car as a result for a bit of self reflection and a good cry every once in a while. however, every time he even thinks about racing again, he freezes and breaks down.

alexandra dubois fontaine was born and raised in the city of love that is paris, france as the only daughter of margaret & gabriel fontaine. growing up, alexandra was practically raised by her nanny due to both of her parents being extremely busy people.. maybe that's why she had a bit of a rebellious streak as a child. due to her parents never being around, the young woman always felt rather alone.. she never had anyone to talk to besides the staff in her family mansion. due to this, the only 'friends' the young alex had were the ones she made up in her head, her best friend went by the name of rose, a young talking zebra that she went everywhere with. was it odd to see such a young girl talking to someone that truly wasn't there? yes, but it was the only way she felt like she wasn't alone for once. her imaginary friend phase lasted quite a bit longer than it should have for most girls her age, continuing to talk to rose up until she was about 15 years old. it was at that ripe age that alex had found a new love, art, although her first subject was a painting of her imaginary friend she drew beautifully as she painted the background of the places she had been to with her as well. in this day and age, there are still times that the young woman reverts back to talking to her imaginary friend, especially when she feels truly alone, but not as much as she did when she was younger. alex mainly talks to rose whenever she feels anxious about an art show coming up or an awards ceremony in her name, but never when anyone is around her.

tw: abandonment conrad nathaniel austin was born and raised in brooklyn, new york to karen & roger austin as their only child. growing up, conrad was always a bit of a mama's boy, especially since she seemed to be the only parent that actually cared about him. ever since he was born, his father never really treated him like his son, he always tended to treat him and his mom like strangers that lived in the same house as him. well, his dad actually treated his mom like his own maid, forcing her to cook and clean without any help from him whatsoever, and bringing him his daily can of beer as well. due to this, conrad honestly hated his dad and almost never wanted to hang out with him, and he also wanted to talk back to him as well, but was too scared to. it wasn't hard to tell that roger hated his family, especially since by the time conrad turned seven years old, his dad packed his bags and left him and his mom to fend for themselves. conrad was upset at first, especially since he didn't want to be the only one in his friend group without a dad, but then he started watching sitcoms. it was then that he felt like he had a father figure in life, the perfect one in fact, as he watched all those different types of tv dads with their kids. it was from that moment on that he started lying about his family situation to his closest friends and he started telling people that the dads you see on tv was the type of dad that he had, a fabricated lie but one that he truly wished for. his hero though? michael scott from the office, mainly because he saw so much of himself in him, but also because he liked all the dad jokes that he told the others in the show and how he used laughter as a bit of a defense mechanism. that's where conrad's humor comes from, michael scott's jokes in the office, as well as from other sitcoms he grew up on. however, when there's something he prefers not to answer or simply doesn't have an answer for, he uses jokes as a bit of a shield from his true feelings, especially since the only person that has ever seen him cry is his mom.

olivia jeanine rhee was born and raised in seaford, delaware to hellen rhee & lee hyeon, a random man she met at a bar after her husband had left her and her eldest child all by themselves. it truly was nothing but a stupid one night stand for the woman, so it was no surprise to many that when she fell pregnant with her second child, she never told the father. growing up, olivia simply referred to her father as a "sperm donor", especially since her mother refused to tell her his name.. not because he was a bad man or anything, but simply because she wasn't entirely sure how the grown man would react to having an adult daughter he never knew about had the time come. as a result, young liv was fairly close to her mother and her other siblings, they were basically attached at the hip as kids and she considered her siblings some of her bestest friends. however, this didn't last very long because by the time she started high school was the time that she started hanging out with the popular crowd at her school or the "bad" crowd as her mother liked to call them. due to this, she quickly went from the sweet & innocent little girl everyone knew and loved to an extreme wild card and the kid that everyone's parents warned them about.. the one that no kid would want to hang out with because they'd either end up in jail with her.. or worse. fast forward a few years later, liv is still that same little girl that moms fear and younger girls look up to, but this time she actually has a bit of sense into her and doesn't get into much trouble as she used to. due to her current occupation as a dj, she is also one of the few people in town that can get her friends and family in anywhere even if it's sold out because of the connections she has.
