by mother mother
• grew up in an affluent family, the youngest child of three
• was always treated as the baby of the family, and could charm her way out of anything
• as the only girl, was her mother's favorite and received most of her attention
• was pushed to succeed in life, and found herself involved with gymnastics
• did high level competitions for years, less because she genuinely enjoyed it and more because her mother urged her to (and because the prize money was nice)
• also, it gave her the chance to explore whatever city the competition was in and to get out of her strangling home life for a while
• she'd run around, meet a cute girl, and have a two-day fling behind her mother's very disapproving back
• got caught by her mother while on the island of ilodia, and was promptly kicked out of the house (or the hotel, i suppose)
• as a double whammy, this girl had played her and was the reason they got caught
• had prepared for this day, and had enough money saved up to survive for a while, but not to get home
• knew her father wouldn't let her home either, and she was old enough that legally she had no grounds
• ran into samir, who convinced her to calm down and think, and helped her find a small home on the outskirts of the city
• could no longer afford to travel to gymnastics competitions, and dropped out of the sport completely
• cut her hair in defiance of her parents, who liked it long, and shook off her old life
• got a job as a waitress at an 80's themed chain restaurant (the good times, joking nicknamed "the greasy times" by staff), where her natural sense of coordination and balance helped her maneuver on the roller skates all servers wear
• uses her roller skates to get around town because why not (also, she doesn't know how to ride a bike and cars are expensive)
• tries to give off the impression that she's still wealthy even though her funds are increasingly meager because it's the only way she knows how to look in control
• super skittish about being in relationships, and doesn't get close to people
• her home is a mess of empty ice cream cartons and ramen noodle packaging
• looks like she had it together but so, so doesn't
