*+:｡.｡　TRINITY IBARRA + POST GALLAGHER　｡.｡:+*

➥ Trinity spends part of the summer at home with her family in Florida. After breaking through some of her stifled emotions about Big Momma, she’s been getting better at showing she values her relationships, and she doesn’t mind spending that bit of time at home and with her parents. Her and her dad spend July fixing up a vintage cadillac and unlike Stella, she is obnoxiously open about her private life on social media so there’s tons of photos of it.

➥ Since Martina is returning to Gallagher in the fall, Trinity decides she’s not going to drop out and leave her. Truthfully, Trinity’s lost and while she doesn’t think she wants to be a spy, she also doesn’t know what she wants to do with her life. Part of her wants to stay at Gallagher, so she’ll use family duties as an excuse to kill some more time. She spends her breaks bothering PJ and her summers doing hot girl shit.

➥ In a surprising turn of events, Trinity graduates in 2023. Soon after, she and Scott put their two brain cells together and make plans to open up a bar as business partners. Trinity pitches calling it B&B for Bad & Boujee but then old people keep coming in thinking it’s a Bed & Breakfast so they have to rebrand two months in. Trinity and Scott leave their own fake yelp reviews and long story short the bar is down bad, but they pour a final one out for the boys and laugh about it in an empty venue on closing night. They tried.

➥ After moving back to California to do stunt work, able to get better and safer gigs thanks to her degree, Trinity decides she wants to write a book. So naturally she gets a ghost writer, and publishes “How To Run A Failed Business” -- a help book on maneuvering through failure in the business world. She dedicates her book to Big Momma with the caption “thank you for teaching me that you have to do bad to do better”. Book sales are sexy, just like she is, and she gets a few interviews talking about how she manages being a socialite and a business woman after becoming tiktok famous for her unsolicited advice videos. Basically, she’s a motivational speaker.

➥ Trinity eventually becomes the next lead in ongoing reality romance show The Bachelorette. At the end of the season she has a monologue where she decides to keep her rose for herself, claiming no one can love her how she does, and she’s not ready to give that love to someone else just yet. Two weeks later she’s photographed having brunch with Dwayne Douglas Johnson in Costa Rica, well into his 60s.

➥ Now being a fan favorite TV personality, Trinity occasionally hosts reunion specials. She has a one season ten episode mini-series called Trinity Tries where she meets up with celebrities and old friends and tries to do their job for a day, running with the “fail to succeed” motto. Her first episode follows Priya around for the day, pretending to be a doctor. She shows up to the hospital in a sexy nurse costume. (if you have a character close to Trinity or who would want to be featured on an episode of this with their career, let me know!)

➥ Throughout all this Trinity is still engaged in car nonsense, but much less so than she loves. She takes a few years to get back into driving, now that she’s sitting on a pile of money bigger than her last pile of money. She starts testing and promoting cars, and after doing design work for a while (i.e. telling other people what she thinks would be cool and having them make it happen) she partners with Audi and creates a three car line-up debuted as “Triple-Threat”. A cabriolet in baby blue called Martina. A sleek black pick-up truck called Monique. And a supercar in magenta named after yours truly.

➥ Trinity makes it to 39. Throws herself a televised 24th birthday party.

Playing Trinity has been absolutely one of the most fun experiences I’ve ever had roleplaying and I'm so so thankful to Kashia for letting me take her WC. She really allowed me to go balls out with her canons because she’s so ridiculous. These are some key things that happen in her life to get an idea of where she is/what she’s doing, but locations and time frames are fairly vague so I can plot around them if anyone wants to plot stuff or have a name drop, as per all these posts, dm me!

Once a seventeen year old jazz singer from Harlem who always dreamed big but knew that nothing would come of it. They were called dreams for a reason, they would never come true. Until a woman found her and saw potential in her, giving this girl from nothing become one of the top spies in the world. She was given a chance to change her life and she accepted it. ( death tw ) @martinaw && @trinibarra

Bernice Washington was born on August 4th, 1950 in Harlem. Her family owned a jazz club, it was fairly small and not popular, you only knew of it if a regular told you about it. It was in this very club that she found her passion for singing, the young woman was given the opportunity to perform in front of everyone every Friday night. And while she dreamed of performing before an even bigger crowd, she knew that it would be impossible. With no connections, barely any money, and a lack of confidence, there was no way that she could. Her future had already been  set, for her to stay here and work at her family’s jazz club for the rest of her life. Until she met a woman who changed everything. 

Her name was Caroline Fisher, beauty and grace as she walked into the jazz club. An outsider she was, how all of the black patrons watched her, cautious and wary. But despite the stares, she walked in with such determination and confidence that it left many speechless. The only person to speak with her was Bernice just after she finished singing. Caroline was impressed with her voice, taking the time to get to know the other. Nervous in the beginning before growing

Do you know what you're doing after high school? Probably stay here and help out. It's not like I can do much with myself. Caroline looked at her with such disappointment and sadness, though, the topic was soon dropped. Every Friday night for the rest of her vacation, Caroline came to watch Bernice sing, and the two would grow close with each other.

Nearing the last Friday of her stay in Harlem, Caroline talks to her. A school for women that would suit Bernice, a school that would best suit a young woman like her. At first she was wary, the concern of cost and how her family would fare without her. Caroline assured her that she wouldn't have to worry about any of that, that the cost would be taken care of. And that she has already brought the idea up to her parents, telling them the same thing that cost would be an issue. Take your time to consider it, she said, but I've already recommended you to the school. They'll be in contact with you sooner or later.

The school in question was Gallagher, located in Virginia, far from her family and from the future that believed she was going to have. What Bernice was expecting was just a good university that would open many doors for her, what she got was totally different from what she was expecting. A university that trained future spies, women who were taught how to obtain information, protect themselves and others, and tricks on how to use their femininity to get what they needed. The other women there came from well off families, generations of spies ( and assassins but she only learned of that years later ). They were students who had been trained from birth to be here, Bernice had not. She felt like an outsider in more ways than just one, self doubt filling her body and regret taking over her. But it was only the encouraging words of Caroline Fisher and her family that got her through school, Bernice Washington could do anything. 

She graduated as a Seduction and Flirtation + Threat Elimination major, the top of her cohort, and as someone respected by many. Bernice found herself while attending Gallagher, gaining the confidence that she always strived to have, friends who believed in her, and a future that wouldn’t keep her in Harlem. And it was all thanks to Caroline Fisher. 

The years that followed were also filled with hardships. While getting a job within the CIA, she had to work from the bottom and up again but it was even more difficult. Not only that, Bernice had to deal with her ex husband ( a man from her neighborhood whom she married ) who left her behind with her three daughters. Those days were her hardest days. She felt like crying to herself, breaking down and giving up, admitting that her time at Gallagher was a simple fairy tale, that it was all a lie. Because it was too much for her. It was only during one moment of weakness that she displayed before her girls did she remember, that she couldn’t give up. There were people who were believing in her, people whom she couldn’t let down. And three of them were right before her. 

And it was there that Bernice Washington became a legend. 

She was a single mother of three who worked for the CIA. She proved that she could care for her daughters while climbing up the ranks before she was given a special job. To use her experience as a jazz singer to infiltrate various nightclubs around the world and collect information on specific organizations for the government ( very much like Josephine Baker, I recommend everyone looking her up! ). 

With a beautiful voice, gorgeous, and a fighter, she was not someone to double cross. And the same could be said for her daughters. Just like their mother, all three girls went down the espionage road, creating a name for themselves as The Triple Threat. Just like their mother, they were hard workers and did not accept any shit from anyone. The Washingtons became a legacy family whom everyone has come to respect. 

However, on April 1st, 2020, Bernice Washington passed away, but she accepted her fate. Because during her time on Earth she has seen her daughters grow up and become amazing and powerful women. Not only that, she was able to watch her daughters have children of their own. Monique, Trinity, and Martina, the next generation triple threat. From their time as a family to solo moments, Bernice was grateful to be given a chance like this. A life filled with such warmth, love, and happiness. Each day spent with her family completely wiped away those hard times that she faced on her own. As long as they’re okay and happy, she would be happy.

liam, I think your legal guardian is fiona, unless she transferred her rights to someone else before she left. maybe frank. ugh this whole house selling plot and everyone being too focused on themselves to think about what’s going to happen to him
