bullet points
tw: mention of a side character's suicide
○ leo: the lion, a fire sign, the sign ruled by the sun. it's no wonder that violet celeste tamblyn came into the world with a roar rather than a whisper. during a sweltering summer evening on august 6th, her first cry was said to be heard from multiple labor and delivery rooms away. from that moment on, it seemed vi was always making some sort of scene. everything she does is dramatic, over the top, or just plain eye-catching. she is the main character of her own life and you cannot tell her any different.
○ she's been obsessed with rodents for eons: mice, rats, chinchillas, you name it. the minute she was able to get her own apartment, she adopted Hamataro the chinchilla. a few weeks ago, she got her first (of hopefully many) mouse named Opalescence who is also known as Opal.
○ since she was a toddler, vi had shown an interest in makeup. most of the time she was grounded or put in time-out as a kid for destroying her mother's makeup when she played dress up. when watching tv one day when she was eleven, a reality show called face off was on. watching these people who got to apply insane sfx makeup all day and call it work? it sounded like her dream. from that moment on, she knew she'd stop at nothing to become a makeup artist. and while yes, these days she does more avant-garde beauty makeup her heart will always belong to all forms of makeup.
○ vi always knew she was a woman. however, it wasn't until high school that she felt comfortable enough (and had the vocabulary to vocalize it) to come out to both her family and close friends. she will always be thankful for the outpouring of love and support that followed. her transness is a mark of pride for her.
○ her love of women knows no bounds. before she came out, vi was always conflicted in her identity (besides the obvious feeling of not being who she was meant to be) since she grew up in a society where most amab people who acted more 'femme' must have been gay. but she always had crushes on the girls in her class. today, she does identify as bisexual since there have been a few masc people who have stolen her heart and delighted her eyes but she still mainly has crushes on more femme people.
○ this girl is loyal to a fault. if she is your friend, you will have a friend who will enable your every wish. boyfriend cheated on you? she's driving up at 2 am to bring you to TP his lawn, smash his car window, then buy you a meal from mcdonald's afterward. though her heart is in a good place, her love can be intense.
○ speaking of love, she is a serial dater. hozier once said "I fall in love just a little, oh little bit every day with someone new" and that line was probably written about vi. in the span of a few months, she will be infatuated with a person, date them and treat them as if they are the only human in the world, then dump them when another person catches her eye. as she would say "it's not my fault so many people are fantastic." but she swears guys, the next time she falls for someone: this time it's for real (*cure the collective 'sure jan'*).
○ growing up as the baby of the tamblyn family proved to suit her proclivities for the dramatic quite well. everything they did was over the top: her seventh birthday saw her parents rent out a whole zoo just for her and her friends to spend the day. being recognized everywhere she went only went more to her head. she loved the glitz and glamour of the so-called 'high-life'. but what goes up must come down, right?
○ when she was fourteen, the tamblyn empire came crashing down. before she could really even comprehend what was going on, she was whisked away to live with her oldest sibling, was pulled out of public school in favor of homeschool (a blessing she can now see from an adult point of view), and was left to watch the ashes fall from the window of seclusion.
○ the world would never keep vi tamblyn down, though. she refused for that to be true. the money was tight, so she decided to start advertising her cosmetics skills to people she knew from middle/the one year of high school she went to for prom or graduation. well, aurora bay wasn't very large so word got around quickly about her (in her own words) impeccable work. clients continued to build, her portfolio becoming fatter and more impressive. just 3 three years ago was when she got her biggest break: an indie movie being shot out in LA needed a makeup artist to replace their original and one of the sound girls happened to have been an ex-client (always keep those connections, kids!) who recommended her. it went of swimmingly and she has now been a go-to for many of the underground, more scrappy directors trying to make it in LA. so much so, there was a time she was considering moving in with a few of the friends she had made there. but life couldn't be that simple. not when you were a tamblyn.
○ after her mother committed suicide, vi knew she wasn't going anywhere. there was an almost animalistic need to stay at her home. maybe it's because the sights of the shops around aurora bay made her feel calm, the sounds of the waves on the aurora bay beach at night her favorite symphony. so, put is where she stayed. finding a roommate, she signed a lease at crystal cove condominiums and has been commuting to jobs when need be. will she become too big of a fish in her mind for her home pond?
