susan trander
the popular indecisive
┗━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┛
meet susan mandy trander, your stereotypical miss popular. she is now sixteen years of age. susie was born and raised in coalwood, west virginia. her father is the mine's top engineer and her mother the picturesque domestic woman. it's a very traditional family that susie was raised in. they go to church every sunday, the parents and susie and her older brother jack; keep to themselves, aren't loud neighbors, don't have a dog to walk and pee over everyone's lawn. by all appearances they are perfect. and mother and father and jack must think so too, because they keep up this charade even in their own home. but susie isn't perfect and knows it. sure, everyone at school knows her name. sure, she is kind and smart and sweet. but there's only so much susie can do with that, and she can't make a decision to save her life. she knows what her options are. study hard and get into college. or just... don't. give up these unreachable dreams and become a housewife like her mother. thing is, susie doesn't know what to choose. it would break her parent's hearts if she left coalwood on some sort of scholarship she probably won't even get. after all, susie is smart, but her brother is the one with the pure genius. the odds of him getting out are much better than hers. this is her home anyways. here, she has an assured future, unlike how she would struggle so in the outside world. having her role here set both attracts and appalls susie. she wants to have a future that doesn't need worrying. but then again, she doesn't want to marry some miner just because. and though susie has not yet voiced these thoughts to her family, she knows where they will stand. her father would be horrified. he never changes his mind. her mother would also be horrified, but give a little wink to show her pride. susie's mother had always been unable to cross her husband's judgements, remaining a very weak presence in the household. [that's what susie is afraid will happen to her - become some boring, domestic woman with nary a thought for anything else.] her brother? jack will be her stalwart supporter. he's always looked after susie, as she is one of those that needs looking after. susie's friends? some of them will be okay; others, not so much. but susie values public opinion a lot more greatly than she should. she also has a tendency to be a bit self-centered, something easily recognizable in a so-called "popular". to sum it all up? susie is a girl who doesn't know what to do with herself.
