Theme - Night Waves
Rosemary Lucero
[ Lore ]
✧ Introduction
Growing up as an islander, in the small coastal town of Dewford, Roe developed a profound love for nature from an early age. Due to the lack of friends her age, she spent most of her childhood exploring the nearby forests, caves, and beaches, fostering a deep connection with the environment. Her horizons expanded further once her father - a sailor and fisherman - began to take her out to sea, and the mainland of Hoenn. Amazed by the world beyond her tiny hometown, Rosemary longs to set off on a journey of her own.
✧ Appearance
Locks of copper red hair are often let loose, allowing the breath of the wind to disperse their delicate seaside scent. Rosemary’s natural beach waves cascade down, past her shoulders, but form loose curls when exposed to moisture. Her doe eyes, in a shade of candy apple red, shine brightly with curiosity and kindness. She stands at an average height for her age, but her lithe build, along with her pale skin may, however, translate as sickly to some. Despite her willowy appearance, her adventurous antics have conditioned her to be considerably nimble in terms of her physical agility. Because of her extremely light complexion, the constellations of freckles that dapple her skin seem to be more pronounced. Her clothing style is very casual, typically summery, with flowy sundresses, light colours, and floral prints. Roe is also fond of wearing a pendant made from a small conch shell that her father handcrafted for her as a young child.
✧ Personality
Despite being a tad skittish at times, Roe is generally a calm-natured, optimistic girl, with an infectious smile. She can comfortably work independently or as part of a team, and in doing so remains open-minded and respectful of other people's opinions. She strongly believes in doing the right thing and strives to make the world a happier place. Roe's ultimate goal is to bring happiness and positivity into the lives of others. She wants to make a difference in the world by spreading joy and helping those in need.
Rose’s strengths lie in her ability to remain calm under pressure, her open-mindedness, and her determination to do what is right. She also possesses excellent problem-solving skills and a natural ability to bring people together. Alternatively, Roe’s naivety may make her hesitant when faced with unexpected challenges. She may doubt herself and question whether she is doing enough. Additionally, her optimism can lead her to overlook certain risks or underestimate the opposition she may face. Nonetheless, she is motivated by her belief that everyone deserves happiness and that she can be a catalyst for positive change. She is driven to confront challenges head-on, seeking solutions and growth, believing that even small actions can lead to significant change.
✧ Hobbies
In her free time, Rosemary loves spending time outdoors, exploring new places, and meeting new people. Her favourite colours are vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows, representing her fiery passion for life. Undoubtedly, the beach is her favourite place to be. The sound of waves crashing against the shore, the smell of saltwater, and the feeling of sand between her toes: all give her that nostalgic feeling of home. She also loves to stargaze and can spend hours marveling at the vastness of the universe, sometimes forgetting to sleep when doing so. A quirk of hers is collecting small trinkets and mementos from her adventures, cherishing them as reminders of the people she's helped and the challenges she's overcome.
✧ Etymology
Her forename 'Rosemary' comes from the Latin 'ros marinus', meaning "dew of the sea". Rosemary's surname 'Lucero' means "light source, bright star, morning star" in Spanish, hinting at possible Paldean ancestry.

Theme - In Living Memory
Falin Barnes
[ Lore ]
✧ Introduction
"The wisdom of a stray cat [Falin] lies in its [her] adaptability.
Like them [her], we must learn to adjust to life’s ever-changing circumstances.” - an unknown sponsor.
✧ Early Life
During her pregnancy with Falin, Falin's mother did not have any symptoms typically associated with being pregnant, apart from what she perceived to be intense bloating. As a mother of five energetic boys, she already had a multitude of responsibilities to handle. Even though she had gone through pregnancies before and knew what to expect, there was an unsettling feeling this time. As soon as Falin was laid upon her mother's chest for the first time, it became apparent to her that there was an absence of any emotional bond or affection towards the child. She expended so much of her energy that she could only manage to produce a faint smile as she tried to appear content with the latest addition to their family. However, whenever the boys accompanied their father to work, poor little Falin would frequently be left alone to cry out her distress in a small Moses basket, which her father had woven from reeds for their firstborn.
Growing up, Falin's relationship with her mother remained fraught with tension and loathing. Contrarily, Falin shared a tight bond with both her brothers and father, which became a source of jealousy for her mother. She also simply resented the fact that Falin's physical resemblance to her only heightened with each passing day and would, therefore, refuse simple things such as looking at her daughter when speaking to her. From a young age, her mother exerted herself to remind Falin that, being a daughter from District 9, her worth was no greater than the livestock in District 10: To be born, raised, and bred until the day she died. Every time Falin made an error, she would be branded as such, 'useless cow'. It had been at her mother's request that Falin stay at home and learn to take care of the household chores instead of working alongside her sibling in the fields, as a way to separate her from her family. According to her mother, working in the fields was a task that was assigned to men.
After completing all of her daily tasks, Falin would often spend her free time in the hay lofts of her family's barn, accompanied by a lazy and disgruntled barn cat. During these moments, she would indulge in daydreaming or find solace curled up with a book that she concealed from her family. Sometimes, albeit infrequently, Falin would engage in playful activities with her older brothers. They would run and frolic in the fields, despite her mother's disapproval, who believed that Falin's company hindered their productivity. Some of the games they enjoyed playing with each other were hide-and-seek, in which they would always let Falin win, and also a game of knocking down cans and bottles by shooting at them with slingshots. Falin has honed her aiming skills to perfection, allowing her to consistently strike her targets with extraordinary precision even at significant distances. She also applied to pesky rodents that attempted to pilfer grains from their stores.
✧ Appearance
Falin is among the youngest competitors to be reaped as a tribute for the Hunger Games, having only just turned twelve. Comparing Falin to the older tributes, she is noticeably smaller, due to her age, living conditions, and lack of training. She stands at 140 cm, and she weighs a meager 60 kg. She has a delicate figure. Falin has gorgeous cocoa-colored hair that flows almost down to her waist in natural waves, which perfectly complements her light honey-beige skin tone. Her innocence radiates from her large doe eyes and her sweet, angelic face, which had the people of the Capitol enthralled with her, despite her slim chances of survival. Many individuals in her district frequently observe her physical attractiveness and note her striking similarity to her mother. However, they often remark that she should smile more.
✧ Personality
Despite never having the opportunity to attend school, Falin possesses remarkable abilities as a self-taught child who has managed to acquire skills in reading, writing, and basic mathematics, with a little support from a sweet older woman who caught Falin flipping through a book at her market stall. For someone her age, she possesses an exceptional level of awareness regarding her environment and possesses the refined skill to understand the atmosphere of the room she is in. Falin has become accustomed to tiptoeing around her mother due to her hostile behavior, which has helped to develop this ability, even though she is still puzzled about the underlying cause for such ill-treatment. As a consequence of this situation, she has developed a strong sense of self-reliance and autonomy. In the presence of others, she can comfortably embrace her relaxed and inquisitive nature, just as any child should be free to do. Falin prefers to keep her home life private, as she is concerned about others forming negative opinions about her family.
✧ Abilities
Charisma - Her irresistible charm is a significant advantage for her. The people of the Capitol have a profound love for her, and she frequently receives support from sponsors in the form of food and fresh water. Because of her difficult relationship with her mother, Falin is a natural people-pleaser who knows exactly what to say to achieve merits. She knows she's cute. She knows she has little chance of surviving. But she knows with a positive attitude, she can entertain the audience, even if it's just for a little while. During the training sessions, she takes advantage of her childish inquisitiveness to learn as much as possible from the other tributes.
Intelligence - From a young age, Falin has been a fast learner. Her mind works quickly, and her body, swiftly. She's been treading carefully from the moment she could walk so you can bet that she is probably a step or two ahead of you already, definitely mentally if not physically.
Opportunist - Falin's small size is advantageous for her as well. Whilst she doesn't possess much physical strength, Falin is fast, agile, and patient. She is also of diminutive size, enabling her to effortlessly enter narrow crevices and transform them into momentary shelters. In addition, Falin has previous experience and expertise in constructing shelters by utilizing various natural materials such as leaves and branches.
Sharpshooter - Falin's abilities with a slingshot are exceptional, as she can accurately shoot at both still and moving targets with great precision. Her ability to see and accurately hit her targets, even from afar, is astonishing due to her exceptional eyesight. In the event that her position is compromised, she will utilize her shots as a distraction in order to divert the attention of her target.
✧ Weaknesses
Hunting - Besides picking off rats back home, Falin has no experience hunting or preparing a kill, making it more challenging to sustain herself. Occasionally, Falin can strike a bird using her slingshot, but that typically results in her location being exposed, due to spooking other birds nearby.
Emotionally Immature - At the end of the day, Falin is still 12 years old and a pawn in a brutal game. Although she usually seems composed during her time in the Capitol, there are times when Falin can be seen unable to keep all of her emotions contained. The horrors only become real as she watches bloodshed right before her eyes.
Physical Strength - With her small build and a lack of combat abilities, Falin is left with very few options to defend herself, should she find herself engaged in hand-to-hand/close-ranged combat. She has mediocre free-climbing abilities and is a weak swimmer.
✧ Etymology
Pronounced 'Fah'-'Lin', her forename is a masculine variant of the name 'Feline' which is a Latin name meaning "cat-like", but also translates to "Secret", or more commonly "My Secret". Falin's surname 'Barnes' is a name denoted to a person who worked or lived in a barn. The word 'barn' is derived from Old English bere "barley" and ærn "dwelling".
! actions and events may vary, depending on the roleplay !
✧ The Reaping
Falin Barnes. It was her first ever reaping; Her mother had 'persuaded' her to sign up for the maximum tesserae (8) as it was "unlikely she'd be picked for her first reaping". It had taken her a second to realize that her name had been announced. There had been complete silence until her name was called a second time. After acknowledging that she was not hearing things, she lifted her head towards the stage. In her peripherals, she could see the girls surrounding her, staring her way. Falin didn't have a word to describe what she was feeling at the moment. As those around her shuffled about, creating a pathway, Falin made her way to the stage mindlessly. With no female siblings - nor friends - Falin knew there was no way anyone would volunteer to take her place. From the stage, she could just about pick out her siblings from the crowd. Fear, shock, and anger painted their faces. She could see her father pull his wife close in a protective embrace. On the other hand, her mother's face was completely void of emotion.
She is visited by her oldest brother before leaving for the Capitol. To see someone that she knew to be so free and easy cry for the first time brought an ache to her heart. Falin only managed a momentary look at his puffy eyes before being engulfed in a crushing embrace. All he could do was apologize, rambling on about how he should have volunteered so that she would have at least had some protection. Falin soothed him that it was fine, and not to worry, because at least they'd be looked after with her tesserae. That's when she felt him freeze. Slowly, he pulled away from his sister with a puzzled look on his face. Falin continued to explain that their mother told her that they [her brothers] all took the maximum tesserae and that it was only fair if she did too. He appeared to stop breathing. His eyes turned dark. As it was time for him to leave, he crouched down eye to eye with Falin, taking her small hand and handing her a token: a pressed bookmark made with wildflowers and exactly 5 stems of wheat. He made a final promise to take care of everyone. Placing a kiss on her hand, he stands and leaves without looking back.
✧ The Parade
Falin’s hazel eyes were wide with awe as she rode the chariot during the Tribute Parade. It had been her first time seeing the Capitol in person and how lively and different it was, compared to her home in District 9, was a shock to her. Her assigned stylist had dressed her, simply, in a flowing white gown, adorning her head with a crown woven from sheaves of wheat. Brandishing a torch in one hand, she waves to the crowd with the other. Later in her interview, she discloses that "Demeter," a goddess of bread, grain, and agriculture, served as inspiration for her stylist.
✧ Training Center
It was likely that Falin entered as the least prepared tribute of the year. Yet, she knew better than to let the opportunity go to waste. If she did not try, her chance of success would be zero. But, if she did, her chances may be low but they'd certainly be better than zero. Falin spent her training days wisely, focusing on the survival skill stations as she felt it was too late to attempt to become proficient at offensive skills. She did not completely ignore them, however, observing the other tributes closely and asking questions in order to gain valuable knowledge. Falin would participate if invited by the other tributes, often entertaining their egos.
Midway through the training sessions, something in Falin clicked. As she advanced through the stations, she realized that a lot of these skills came to her naturally, meaning she could have a chance. Being from District 9, living surrounded by fields and nature, Falin scored fairly highly on the test at the edible plants station. It wasn't too surprising to her that she found her way around knot-tying or hammock-making with ease, also. Shelter making was a station she just found to be enjoyable, each moment reminding her of home and making dens in the woods with her brothers. So whilst her shelters weren't the most sound in terms of stability, it would be enough to keep her covered for a night to rest. She even managed to impress some of the more established tributes by conquering the gauntlets and ropes course with cat-like balance and agility. Falin showed weakness when it came to using weaponry, deciding to completely dodge the axes and swords, and after debating with herself, the spears and tridents, also, as they would be much too big and inconvenient for her to carry.
During her private session, Falin managed to score a 6, showcasing her abilities with a slingshot that she had decided to keep undisclosed from the other tributes in their group sessions.
✧ Interview
Her interview was the first time the people of the Capitol got to meet Falin. Inside, she could feel the anxiety bubbling. But, masking her emotions was one thing that Falin could say she had years of practice of. Falin stepped onto the stage with the confidence of a District 1 tribute. with a radiant smile on her face, she greeted the audience with an adorable little double-handed wave. Falin modeled a bridal-like, knee-length white dress with floral lace accents on the skirt's hem and shoulder straps. Her hair - styled in much more defined curls than usual - was adorned with a simple, yet beautiful tiara, embellished with tiny diamonds that glittered in the spotlights. In that moment, Falin was the embodiment of purity. An angel. The most beautiful bride... if she survived the games. She sits and answers the questions fired at her honestly, with just the right amount of sanguinity, spirit, and sorrow, to stir up sympathy within the crowd.
✧ Sponsorships
Sponsorships are an important aid for Falin's survival in the games and, despite her average training score, she does not struggle in acquiring them. From fresh water to candy, and even a book, Falin is able to wait out the first couple of days of the game with ease. However, whilst some of her gifts are out of genuine adoration for her, others are sent to purposely prolong the young tribute's survival to keep the game engaging, dangling hope in the face of her District.
✧ The Arena
On the day of the games, Falin is dressed by her stylist in her arena uniform. However, whilst waiting to enter the arena, it's noticed that Falin suddenly appears less like herself and is lost deep in thought. For the first time, she opens up about her family, but more specifically her relationship with her mother, admitting that she misses them and, despite how her mother treated her, she loves them all unconditionally. Falin states that if she somehow manages to win the games, she hopes that her mother can forgive her for whatever she did for her to hate her. As her platform rises into the arena, Falin steels herself for whatever is about to come.
✧ The Cornucopia Bloodbath
Frozen in fear, Falin doesn't immediately jump from her stand. Watching with wide eyes as many tributes rush toward the center of the cornucopia, fighting over backpacks of loot. Whilst a group of tributes appeared preoccupied, slashing at each other with their newfound weapons, Falin took the opportunity to snatch a nearby backpack that had seemingly been overlooked due to its small size. As quick as her feet were able to carry her, she darts to take cover in a wooded area of the arena. Several cannons sound not too long after. Exhausted from running, Falin takes refuge inside a large hollow tree trunk to rest.
✧ Stratagies
Falin relies a lot on luck and sponsors, throughout the early games, after taking a weaponless pack from the cornucopia. But, it's when she receives a familiar slingshot from one package that fuels her to take action. Having a lot of desirables in her possession, Falin decided that she would use them to her advantage. Utilizing the skills she had learned at the training stations, Falin constructed booby-trapped campsites, where she would lay in waiting not too far away, to slowly pick off wandering tributes. Like a game of cat and mouse: Vermin can't seem to help themselves once they set their sights on unsupervised grain.
✧ In Magical AUs
On the outside, Falin looks like an average kid. Yet, true to her name, Falin harnesses incredible cat-like abilities. Like a refined hunter, she has an attuned sense of smell, exceptional hearing, and an ability to lock in her focus on moving objects at a distance. The hairs across her body act similarly to whiskers, sensing movement by picking up on even the slightest changes in the airflow. Falin also has insane levels of flexibility, balance, and agility. Whilst she does not have retractable claws, her nails are stronger than the average human's, and her canine teeth are more pronounced. However, her most impressive skill would be having the ability to jump from heights and safely land on her feet without discomfort.
In this AU, Falin would use steel claw gauntlets, rather than a slingshot, and would be slightly stronger physically.

Xiānzhī Báitù
[ Lore ]
✧ Introduction
"You're looking for the "Benevolent Brilliance"? She is Xiānzhī Báitù, or 'Tùzǐ' as the children call her: the last eligible heir of the Yuètù Clan and the youngest pureblooded descendant of the Moon Rabbits, an ancient race on the verge of extinction. Revered for her divine beauty, unblemished purity, and graceful spirit... The Harbour's children love her when she visits. She possesses the remarkable talent to convince even the most stubborn individuals to willingly consume their bitter medicines! Ah... But it's seldom she visits. The burden of carrying the legacy of her race must be tough." - unknown
✧ History
The Yuètù Clan have made their home in the ethereal realm of the clouds, where they oversee the majestic mountains of Minlin in Liyue. Despite their unique characteristics, it would be a mistake to associate them with the Adepti. Renowned for their extraordinary healing abilities, the Moon Rabbits have no formal partnership with Morax. However, due to their selfless nature, they once offered their invaluable assistance to Liyue during the Archon War, serving as skilled medics. Tragically, numerous members of the clan met their untimely demise during this tumultuous era, ultimately leading to the imminent extinction of their race. As a token of gratitude for their sacrifices, they were bestowed with a substantial piece of Plaustrite (along with other precious treasures) which now serves as their sanctuary and final refuge.
As the bond between the Moon Rabbits and the Harbour strengthened over the following years, the Yuètù Clan initiated an annual affair, now known as the Moon Festival. This celebration, held in the midst of autumn, involved the Clan presenting unique delicacies and medicinal remedies to the residents of the Harbour. In return, the Harbour graciously shared their own cultural traditions. To express lasting gratitude for their contributions during the Archon War, lanterns reminiscent of those illuminated during the Lantern Rite were released at the conclusion of the evening.
In the present-day era, Báitù maintains a close partnership with Liyue's Bubu Pharmacy. This collaboration entails delivering foraged ingredients, such as Qingxins and Violetgrass, which flourish abundantly in Minlin, for medicinal purposes. Additionally, Báitù handles prescription-related matters. While it is infrequent for Báitù to directly interact with patients, the children always insist on seeing "the rabbit doctor" whenever they become aware of her presence.
✧ Appearance
Báitù's unique characteristics render it impossible for her to refute any claims of affiliation with the ancient Yuètù Clan. From her long, floppy white ears atop her head to the bundle of delicate fluff that serves as her tail, Báitù has no choice but to embrace her fate as a descendant of the Moon Rabbits. Despite standing at a modest height of approximately 150cm (considered fully grown for a female of her species), her slender figure and elongated legs create the illusion of a taller stature. Renowned for her ethereal beauty, she possesses flawless porcelain skin and captivating sky-blue eyes. Additionally, Báitù's silky white hair flows down, nearly matching her own height.
The fashion trends in Liyue are unfamiliar to Báitù, causing her to stand out even more whenever she ventures into the Harbour. Báitù has a strong affinity for dresses, however, with skirts that exude a sense of fluidity and layers, embellished with delicate ribbons, bows, and floral hair ornaments. Her preferred color palette predominantly revolves around shades of blue and white, accentuated by touches of luxurious gold hardware.
✧ Personality
Whilst Báitù enjoys the company of others, she often displays typical rabbit-like behaviors, such as appearing quiet, timid, and hesitant in unfamiliar situations. However, she is generally easy-going and deeply committed to her friends and family. Despite her gentle and open-minded nature, Báitù is not easily irritated and prefers to avoid conflicts as much as possible. Additionally, she is highly diligent and excels both when working alone or as part of a team. However, due to her strong sense of responsibility, Báitù can become reclusive when engrossed in a project. As a result, she tends to tire easily and may spontaneously take naps throughout the day.
✧ Hobbies
With her ears ever so alert, Báitù, the Moon Rabbit, embodies a perpetual thirst for knowledge. The quest to unravel the secrets behind the 'Elixir of Life', a mythical potion that is said to grant immortality, has been a cherished aspiration of her ancestors long before her birth. While Báitù holds her own contemplations regarding immortality, she derives joy from the art of potion-making and the enhancement of existing medicinal remedies. It brings warmth to her heart, seeing the sickly regain their liveliness once more, even more so when she can successfully convince the most stubborn of children to take their medicine. Alchemy comes naturally to her, having been trained in its techniques from a tender age.
Furthermore, Báitù is an avid reader, immersing herself in the realms of history, culture, and even botany. When fatigue doesn't weigh her down, she finds solace in leisurely walks amidst nature's embrace, also allowing her to take a closer look at possible ingredients to use in her creations. Desserts hold a special place in her culinary preferences, while she harbors a distaste for meat and seafood dishes.
✧ Etymology
Her forename 'Báitù' uses the characters '白兔' composed of '白' (bái) meaning 'white' and '兔' (tù) meaning 'rabbit'. Her surname 'Xiānzhī' uses the characters '先知', meaning 'prophet'.

⁺₊✧ Introduction
While her name and face have long since faded from the media, Estella Blake was a name that was once on everyone's lips. Known for her endearing charm and effortless grace, she was a promising child star, rising to fame at a young age. However, that was ten years ago. Estella's career was cut short in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone wondering what happened to the bright young talent. It was a sudden and unexpected disappearance from the fashion world, leaving her fans and followers baffled. The reason for Estella's abrupt departure from the industry still remains a mystery, to even her parents. To this day, Estella cannot force herself to spill the sickening secret of what had happened that day. At least, not while sober. Her past is a secret she's determined to keep hidden, quick to change the subject or brush off any attempts to pry.
Despite her vow never to return to the modeling industry, fate had other plans for Estella.
After a sudden phone call from her father, requesting a favor from her in the form of a job offer, inviting her to take his place in managing Illusion Studios: a prosperous modeling agency that he'd bought and reformed when Estella was just a child. Despite initially rejecting his offer, Estella would eventually sign the contract out of guilt, obligation, and false assurance of adequate training. But as she walked into the House of Illusions for the first time, Estella couldn't help but sense an overwhelming feeling of dread and regret. Estella knew better than to believe that everything was perfect, as depicted by the press. After all, she was all too familiar with the dark side of the industry, the one that was hidden behind the glamour and glitz.
⁺₊✧ Appearance
Born into privilege and wealth, Estella's upbringing and opportunities have shaped her into a woman of refined taste and impeccable manners. Yet, that doesn't mean that every experience was a positive one. Her regal-like posture exudes an air of superiority: a practice acquired from years of modelling, which has become a habit that she cannot let go of. While she moves gracefully, each step already carefully calculated as she once did during her runways, her countenances are stiff. The face of innocence, spoiled by a stoic expression. Estella's rigid exterior is a facade that serves as a barrier to protect a fragile heart, a vulnerability that has only been seen by a handful of people.
There's an intensity behind her piercing hazel gaze, accentuated by smokey make-up. Her ash-blonde hair is often styled in gentle, shoulder-length waves; however, it's been a moment since she last had her colour re-touched, evident by the dark brown roots blending into her locks. Her fair skin is unmarred except for a barely visible scar above her right eyebrow, which serves as a reminder of a drunken mishap from a few years earlier. Her height measuring at 5'7, Estella has a slender figure, her delicate build contrasting harshly with her stony demeanor, like a lonely blossom in an icy wasteland. Her thinness would be considered worrying, would she not hide=-p herself in loose shirts and long jackets to conceal the worst of her self-neglect.
⁺₊✧ Personality
★ Personality type (MBTI): ISFJ-T | ★ Personality type (Enneagram): 9w1 | ★ Moral Alignment: Chaotic Good
Being a young and inexperienced manager, Estella is constantly under the judgment of her colleagues at Illusion Studios, as well as those in similar positions outside of the agency. While she never wanted this job in the first place, her lack of enthusiasm only makes her an easy target for the more seasoned directors seeking to eliminate competition. It's extremely draining for her as an introvert, as she struggles to maintain a straight face and not take their chastising to heart. Despite the pressure she faces, Estella is able to find a little solace in the fact that she's still learning and growing.
There's nothing that Estella wants more than to be able to find a true sense of peace within herself. Currently, she achieves this by neglecting her own needs, to focus on those of others. She dreads the days that involve her being locked away in her office and taking care of the more tedious, yet necessary, duties. While not the most enjoyable part of her job, it is likely due to a sense of obligation she feels towards her father, that Estella finds herself skipping breaks often, to focus on completing those duties to the highest possible standard.
Estella's relationship with the models at Illusion Studios is more on a casual level, rather than what would be typically expected between an employee and their boss. Being a similar age to the agency's models is likely one of the reasons that Estella fails to feel a sense of superiority over them. However, another reason for her laidback nature could be that Estella is still acclimating to her new role, having never been in a position of power before. This is suggested by her lack of assertiveness when it comes to reprimanding the models for their behaviours, and relying on others to put them back into place. It's the fear of creating conflict and disappointing people, stemming from her trauma, that sway her to be selectively ignorant.
⁺₊✧ Early Life
At the tender age of four, Estella was discovered by a talent scout while spending a leisurely day shopping with her mother. Her sweet features and charm had caught their attention, and after several conversations and meetings, Estella's parents had been convinced to sign Estella to a well-known modeling agency. Estella eagerly jumped into her new role and quickly became a favorite of photographers and designers alike.
Her career took off swiftly, with Estella securing numerous bookings each week. But it was her partnership with Orchid Boutique that truly launched her into the spotlight. The luxurious children's clothing brand saw something special in Estella and she was chosen to be their poster child. Her face adorned their billboards, magazine covers, and advertisements all over the world, making her a household name in the fashion industry.
Despite her young age and fame, Estella remained grounded and kept focused on her work, always looking to better herself. She was always professional on set and never let her success get to her head. This attitude only made her more endearing to those she worked with, and her popularity continued to skyrocket. She was just getting started, and there was no doubt that she would continue to shine bright in the fashion world for years to come. Little Estella couldn't wait to see what the future held for her.
However, her happiness would be short-lived. Her mind still often replays the events of the one shoot that made her quit. The way a staff member, despite being trusted to take care of her, had touched her and commented on her body inappropriately. To this day, the thought of those memories still makes her skin crawl and stomach churn to the point of being physically sick.
She remembers arriving home that day, after the incident, her parents greeted her with their usual excitement. But as they hugged her, she had felt a sudden surge of anger and fear. She pushed away from their embrace and told them she no longer wanted to model. Confused and shocked, her parents tried to convince her to reconsider. They didn't understand why their daughter, who had always loved modeling, suddenly wanted to quit. But Estella couldn't bring herself to tell them the truth. She couldn't bear the thought of disappointing them or causing them pain.
So instead, Estella distanced herself from her family. She constantly felt dirty and violated, and it manifested in the form of extreme anxiety, anger, and eating disorders. Estella's teenage years had consisted of hanging out with the wrong crowds, sneaking out of the house late after curfew, and going as far as experimenting with alcohol and drugs while underage.
⁺₊✧ About: Acedia
Acedia is a dark cloud that looms over one's existence, a heavy weight that holds them down. It is the sin of sorrow, also described as the "uneasiness of the mind", or more commonly known as depression. It is the inability to appreciate the beauty or see the worth in the human experience, feeling disconnected from the world around them as if merely existing rather than truly living. But is it fair to label this a sin? Perhaps not.
Estella fell victim to acedia, unexpectedly, robbing her of her zest for life after her trust was taken advantage of. That was all it had taken for her once vibrant, innocent spirit to be shattered, leaving her a shell of her former self. Ten years later, the deep wounds caused by this betrayal are still healing. For Estella, this sin manifests itself as intense anxiety, leaving her extremely guarded and cautious of the intentions of those around her. A major example of this being her immense fear of cameras. But how does a former model go from owning the spotlight to becoming immensely afraid of simply having a camera pointed at her? That's a story for another time... or not, being one Estella refuses to talk about. Her apprehension around the cameras can even be seen at casual photoshoots: Estella preferring to spectate from the sidelines - awkwardly fidgeting with the cuffs of her shirt or jacket - to ensure that no accidental pictures are taken of her.
To cope with these overwhelming emotions, Estella turned to unhealthy habits. Eating disorders, and purging; Alcoholism, and drunken flings. While she knows deep down that these coping mechanisms are not healthy, Estella quickly found herself trapped in a cycle of vicious self-sabotage, forced to live with the consequences of her actions.
⁺₊✧ About: Relationships
The truth: Estella had never truly experienced love. To her dismay, she had no issues in attracting the attention of others, usually the unwanted kind. Estella just couldn't bring herself to commit to a relationship fully. She had only ever indulged in drunken affairs, fueled by liquid courage and the need for a temporary escape. It was almost comical how a simple drink could give her the illusion of confidence, allowing her to do things she never would have dared without it. But the morning after, when she would wake up in unfamiliar beds, she barely remembered anything.
Estella believes that relationships should be built on unconditional love; however, she consistently finds herself paying for it, and typically with her body. They buy her a drink and whisper honeyed words into her ears, and her attention is theirs to hold for the night ahead. Like an unspoken contract: paying for the service of being cared for. She's completely aware that it's wrong and that is why those sober interactions with others make her uncomfortable. Without a drink, she actively avoids any kind of love or affection, unable to trust anyone enough to let them in. Even the thought of physical touch from someone she wasn't close to made her skin crawl.
