✧･ﾟ( demeter + alexa demie + cis female ) 𝒎𝒂𝒎𝒎𝒂 𝒎𝒊𝒂 !! have you seen ( veronica “rory” flores ) around ? ( she ) have/has been in kaos for ( two months ). the ( twenty four year old ) is a/an ( bartender ) from ( los angeles, united states ). people say they can be ( hot-headed ) but maybe that’s not too bad ‘cause they can also be ( steadfast ). whenever i think of them, i can’t help but think of ( iced coffee at nine pm, the smell of the earth after rain, a four leafed clover poking out of a crack in the road ). ･ﾟ✧ ( penned by neha, 21, est, she/her ).

hiiiii everyone first of all i am so happy to be here the main is b e a u t i f u l and gives me so much greek god inspo! i’m neha this is my bby rory!! i’m going to add my big bio/about blurb that was in my app so if you want to you can read all about her, but if you don’t have time here’s a little tldr; for you!

rory is my LA club kid QUEEN, she basically grew up super poor but going to a school wanting to fit in with the rich popular kids, long story short she started selling club drugs n stuff to them, gained the friendship and money but once hs ended it, everything ended and she basically had to start over, only now she had the uphill battle w/ addiction to drugs/partying/bad decisions to also handle! she’s on the island bc her mom met a rich guy and he has a villa on the island he wants her to fix up, which is also doubling as a kind of ‘get clean’ retreat tho it ain’t rlly working even tho sgenuinelynunienly sometimes want to do better. she’s a hustler and has a sharp tongue, but on the inside she has a heart of gold and rlly just wants to be loved for who she is for like the first time ever <3

PLOTTING STUFF: she’s been on the island for two months now, but lil girl is all about having those connections bc she thinks its the only way she can have value (ugh poor kid) so lmk!! they could’ve met through the whole partying/drugs route, at the bar where she works at a bartender, or maybe at the hardware stores that she frequents because she’s fixing up the villa! i have more specific plot ideas but i don’t want to make this post too long so hmu or like this post for me to come to you!!

ok, that’s my two pieces said, now here’s the longish bio section if you want to learn more in depth about her :)Tw for abuse, drug use/dealing, addiction

B I O G R A P H Y

Rory is from LA born and raised! Her mother is a single mom and it was just them for a long time, with the rotating cast of her mother’s boyfriends. The two could just never seem to get close to financial stability and she grew up rough, never having enough money to keep up with the kids at school, then having to fend for herself once she got home because her mother worked nights.

At home, it all depended on what boyfriend out of the rotation her mother was currently seeing. The best strategy for all of them was avoidance, so Rory spent her days on the streets or at work, never really wanting to deal with the boyfriends. Throughout the years, she suffered abuse and neglect from these men, and though she tried to tell her mother, who was always just a little too busy, a little too high, or a little too blind to the effects. Besides, they needed the extra money that the various boyfriends gave.

Despite it all, at school Rory shined. She was smart, that much was clear, and she exuded a certain aura of warmth that could make anyone, even the girls with birkin bags and ice cold hearts fall in love. Her school was a dichotomy of rich and poor, and if she worked her ass off and put in maximum effort, it seemed she could fit in with both. But she didn’t want both, didn’t want the stigma of her background to follow her everywhere. She wanted to live in the world of marble countertops and athleisure accessorized with diamonds. So, with extreme effort, she pulled herself up to the social ranks of those girls in school, always going over to their houses to study, pretending she never learned how to drive so that they wouldn’t know she couldn’t afford a car, let alone the mercedes and italian sports cars they drove to school.

But keeping up has its price, and that price began to climb as she was integrated deeper. Rory needed money for twelve dollar salads and fifty dollar spin classes, and the money from her job (which she said her mom forced her to do to learn responsibility) wasn’t cutting it. She was a scrappy kid turned into a precocious young adult and she’d been scrambling all her life, this was just another bootstraps moment. She had the connections from her neighborhood, and what did rich kids like more than drugs? The answer was nothing, and Rory made the leap easily, starting off small and gradually building up a mini drug empire in her high school. She finally had spending money, but more importantly she had friends and people who cared about her, and she wasn’t going to give that up for the world.

Rory wasn’t dumb, she knew this couldn’t last forever, so she was also making solid plans to further herself in life. But an addictive personality ran in her veins as evidenced by her mother who was addicted to it all - drugs, boyfriends, and bad decisions. The moment it all started to go south could be pinpointed to the moment she herself started to use the drugs. Her friends were doing it after all, and she didn’t want to be a buzzkill. The drugs were an escape from her shitty life that was going nowhere, after all. They let her put on the rose-tinted glasses that she’d been denied since birth, and Rory ate it up.

But with every ascent, comes a crash and as the lag time from the drugs started to affect her performance in everyday life, grades started to slip, dreams fell to the wayside and prospects started to vanish. By the time she finished highschool they’d say - what a fall from grace. Because she’d forgotten one very important thing. If her friends made a mistake, it could all be very easily swept under the rug and forgotten by way of their parents’ money. Rory, however, had no safety net, and at the end of highschool she was left in the lurch: same terrible grades and attendance as her friends, but no large donations to get her into prestigious schools. Or, for a fact, any schools. She’d peaked, and what followed graduation was a spiralling descent back to where she’d started. The friends she’d been so fiercely loyal to moved on to college and beyond and she was left with nothing but the endless LA party scene filled with people she didn’t care about and worse and worse decisions by the day.

If it’d gone on for a couple more months, she’d probably have died. But the money started to dry up as her friends left, and the final blow was a drop gone wrong - high as a kite, she’d decided that handing off a major package to a much larger man in a dark alley was a good idea, and the inevitable tussle and robbing left her hurting. She was high and dry with no income and no savings. Twenty-two years old and nothing to her name. It was time for that scrappy kid to scramble once again, but that kid now had a mild drug problem and a chip on her shoulder the size of Texas.

It wasn’t going to be easy. But one thing Rory was always good at was cultivating her connections. Though her friends had moved on, Rory’s combination of dimples, winning smile, and just enough ass kissing had created just enough opportunities with the people in their lives, and the people at the parties she frequented. She had an in to the rich, and damn if she wasn’t going to exploit it. Odd jobs here and there was her life now, just enough to keep her drug addiction alive, just enough to keep her name in the back of the minds of the wealthy. She knew this would change her life somehow, she just wasn’t quite sure how yet.And who could’ve predicted how it happened.

It was mundane, a job making drinks at a classy party, one of those ones where the host barely shows up, where the adults sip their martinis and the kids do blow in the bathrooms. The party wasn’t anything remarkable, but what followed was. She was getting picked up by her mother, and the host of the party, a middle aged salt and pepper type man recognized her mother. They had gone to school together or something, Rory was exhausted and didn’t really care, but apparently her mother turned on the same charm inherent in Rory, and the next Friday had lined up a date.

Things progressed extremely quickly from there on out, with lavish dinners and getaway weekends for the two lovebirds. It was astonishing to watch, and the whispers of ‘gold-digger’ from the country club ladies couldn’t even come close to puncturing Rory’s mom’s thick skin. Both women had been to hell and back after all, had worked all their lives for pennies, and finally something serendipitous had happened. All the toxic exs were dropped within the first six months, the crappy two bedroom within a year, and after a year and a half marriage and a kid on the way - though nobody could quite say which one came first. It was a strike of lightning, transforming the tiny flores family immediately. Call it fate or fortune, but Rory was finally back in that world that she’d strived to be in.

This time, when the spiral came it was well supported and well recognized by Rory’s new step-father. He’d already been through the gambit of raising rich kids, two who were now nearing their thirties, and he could see the signs instantly. Bloodshot eyes, partying all night, sniffles and gaunt features. Rory was getting pulled in again, and fast, but this time there was finally someone looking out for her. She couldn’t escape the lure of the partying and the drugs alone, and this marriage had essentially busted it wide open for her, kicking away any barriers that had been there before. They couldn’t control her, really. She’d been scrambling so long that cutting off the money didn’t matter, she had her connections and her grit that had gotten her this far.

What Rory needed was an out, a way to escape the vicious cycle addiction had pulled her into and her step-father had just the thing: a house on a tiny island in Greece, a fixer upper that needed some love. Of course, he could easily drop a few thousand down and have it renovated much quicker, but he knew Rory had lost her purpose, so he offered it to her on a silver platter.Pride almost kept her in LA. The thinly veiled excuse to get her out wasn’t fooling anyone, but the last straw came when her step father asked her a very simple question: “What’s left for you here?”. For her whole life, LA had only given her pain, hardship, and drugs. Now, the latter was the only thing left. So, she took the deal, and the girl who had never left LA booked a ticket for the other side of the world.

Now, Rory has been on the island for five months. It’s not exactly rehab, but the drug usage has diminished bit by bit, She’s starting to find her footing and become part of the community. She still has that chip on her shoulder, but putting her energy into building something feels good. She’s never built anything in her life, and the house with its extensive gardens needs a lot of work so it’s keeping her extremely busy. When she first got there, the first thing she did was immediately pick up a job as a local bartender because she hates being dependent on her step-father’s money, for fear of him taking it away (trust issues much). The LA dust and glitter is slowly clearing from her eyes, and she’s discovering a much kinder and greener world.

P E R S O N A L I T Y

Rory is super charismatic and thus far has been turning on her charm in order to further things in life. She doesn’t have to do this anymore, so her genuine warmness is starting to shine through more. She’s been stung by basically all the relationships in her life, so she holds real companionship extremely close, loyal to the end and extremely passionate and protective.

Bitch has trust issues and a bit of an edge though, so getting to that deep companionship is really hard.She’s also a rough kid, had to claw and fight her way through her life, so she’s definitely a little rough around the edges. She doesn’t open up quickly, and she has a quick temper that acts as a learned defense mechanism. She definitely has a nasty streak when it comes to defense mechanisms, and can be quick with her wrath.

Years on drugs leading up to this quieter life have made Rory a bit antsy, and though she still does some drugs she’s transitioning to chasing an adrenaline high - her addictive personality is always going to be her fatal flaw.

.･:*:･ﾟ’ twenty two year old genevieve van buren was made in the upper east side and attended constance billiard. she and are currently a model and rising cosmetics producer. they are lipstick to match every occasion, perfectly manicured nails, new pair of shoes every day, pretty leather planner with nothing written in it. onlookers say they resemble dove cameron.

hello its ur resident trash pile attemoting a second muse again with dove bc she’s a cutie! so i normally try to stay away from playing dove as a spoiled, bratty princess type but it’s a gg rp so i can’t resist!!! she’s also taking niko’s fiance connection so get read for some MAJOR drama and angst

so genevieve van buren is obviously one of the van buren sisters. comes from a wealthy, prestigious family

growing up with so many girls in the fam kind of made her catty and always striving to prove that she was better than her sisters? bc i think we all know how girls can be

she was one of those girls in hs that basically survived on attention and people adoring her so she was on the cheer team, dance team, and student council. she very much likes to be in charge of things and make things go how she wants them to

unlike some of her siblings she didn’t go crazy from the pressure of the van buren name and didn’t fall victim to the drugs and alcohol that surrounded her at all times. she would have an occasional drink at parties to keep up appearances but nothing beyond that.

she was never a fan of raging parties with blackouts from drugs or drinks and just went to maintain her reputation of course

following in her mother’s footsteps viv here decided to go into modeling from a young age to get her even more attention. it started in clothing magazines then graduated into runways and such

she idolizes her mother very much and really wanted to make her proud by being the best she could be and maintaining the female van buren name

but the offers for runways and magazines stopped soon into her college career which made her bitter and resentful towards those friends she had in the industry

she’s decently smart, graduated from columbia with a business degree in the hopes of starting her own clothing line or something since her modeling career was basically finished

soon she discovered the world of producing cosmetics and is now working on launching her own cosmetics line

she’s a very 2 faced person when it comes down to it. of course for the public eye she’s one of the elegant, poised van buren daughters and will play nice with whoever she needs to but behind closed doors she can be an ice cold bitch if she doesn’t like you. she’s not afraid to let her opinions be heard about you

she’s engaged to niko but not for any romantic reasons. it is directly related to her secret which will be a secret for as long as possible (if ur interested in being part of it hmu BUT it must be a male character srry ladies)

some wanted connections

squad/entourage ( m or f or nb ) - give me her squad that is always together and making headlines and causing all the drama

secret connection - MUST BE A MALE if ur interested i can give u the deets so just message meeee

ride or die/bff(s) (f or nb )- the person/people she trusts her life with and would do anything for and would bail out of jail if needed

first love/high school sweethearts ( m or nb ) - they were the power couple of constance billiards/st.jude’s that ruled the school and everyone was convinced were going to be together forever but for reasons (can be plotted) they broke up

unrequited crush ( m or f or nb ) - i mostly see it as someone crushing on viv and of course viv being the heartless person she is couldn’t care less

exes ( m or nb ) - other hs exes, college exes, adult exes just GIVE ME DRAMA

business partner ( m or f or nb ) - someone could be an investor or buyer of her cosmetics and is helping her launching it

ummm anything else i can’t think rn help

oh I live in brazil! here almost all internships are paid lmao only the obligatory ones at the end of the course that sometimes are not, but u can do as many as u want throughout your college years and u get paid for that!! not a lot of money but it's 4-6 hours and the experience is what counts I guess? but oh yeah, the thing is that I finished hs in 2013 and I have started and dropped many courses in between these years lmao - sss 🎅

which I don't really mind bc I don't wanna study something I don't like or at a time I'm not feeling it. if I'm not comfortable enough I just won't do it, and I'm thankful that I'm actually able to do that bc many ppl get forced to study even if they don't want to :/ do you have any options on what you wanna study? also honestly college is so damn overrated it SUCKS that a degree counts so much bc it absolutely means nothing in the real world lmao - sss 🎅

also omg 6am is too early how do u live I sometimes go to sleep at this hour lmao I'd sleep the whole afternoon and then lose the whole day just the same LMAO ur so strong 😔😔 how has ur week been so far?? - sss 🎅

brazil! amazing, always wanted to visit there. that’s so crazy lmao about the internships bc like here in the states it’s seen as something to do before work and usual unpaid. kind of like a trial run for both you and your employer to see if it would lead to an actual job after graduation and usually people only do like one, maybe two internships, the obligatory one you mentioned. I don’t know maybe there are places that do that here lol but that’s I know of internships and people I’ve known who’ve done them. I always wanted to study marine biology with a focus more on the study of sharks ever since I watched jaws for the first time. but like people shot me down about it and made jokes about it so it was a bit discouraging plus I would have to get in to a university out of state because, ocean. senior year of high school I actually already knew I wouldn’t pursue marine biology and was toying with the idea of film study + screenplay writer and even looked into a lot of schools in california to see but senior year wasn’t a good year mentally for me so it was quickly put on the back burner. maybe later in life I’ll finally move out to la and get into the hollywood scene because I do have a fascination with it but I think it really just derived from reading those gossip biographies about the golden age of hollywood.

and I don’t live lmao to the whole 6am thing :/ it sucks because the absolute latest I can go to bed without me being a total goblin at work is like 1130pm and I have to get up by 520am definitely not fun lol but I feel like the day goes much faster on those days and I get to take a nap when I get home and it still be relatively early in the day. my week has been good, I had these past three days off from work so I’ve been doing nothing lol and now I have work the next four days, all evening shifts :/ but at least I can sleep in. what about you? hope you have a good day/week 💖
