Whimsy Legacy Expanded - Ali's Backstory
TRIGGER WARNING: Ali's backstory is a series of flashbacks which involve some triggering topics such as teen pregnancy, drug use, sexual abuse/acts, death, etc. Please don't read if you think these topics may be triggering to you. I tried my best to keep the scenes modest; but the scenes are obvious with what happens.

Soon enough, Fae gave birth to Nixie and Wade Moonshadow.
After giving birth, Saoki asked Fae to drop out of school as she needs to look after the kids. Fae agreed with Saoki as her grades are failing and won't be able to catch up at school projects.
Tumblr media
Saoki has let Fae to focus on other activities if she want to and if her time would allow her, knowing she'll be more busy taking care of their children, while Saoki continues to teach as his job.

do I think teenagers being parents has been romanticized by shows like 16 & Pregnant and family vloggers, and we do really need to talk about what having a kid at a young age is actually like? Yes, please do.
Am I an absolute sucker for any human Hetalia au where William is barely 18 and already has Alfred and Matthieu and is going to do his darndest to be a good dad even tho that’s rlly hard bc he feels like he’s still a kid himself? Also yes.

"Clara, oh sister, you should have seen my son..."
"You are never to talk about him again Lizzie!"
Tumblr media
Turning away from the easel, Clara grabs Lizzie by the shoulders as the tears drip down Lizzie's cheeks.
"You went to visit Aunt Anna in Italy. That was all. Think about what would happen to you if Maine society knew what you had done." "I did not have a choice! It was nothing I chose to do. How can you not understand that!"
Tumblr media
"He held me down Clara!"
Whipping back around, glaring harshly, Clara sternly tells Lizzie "you made a choice to stay in town late. You knew you would be left to row the boat home all on your own. You brought shame on us all and if anyone finds out-not a single one of us will be able to marry- let alone marry a husband with means. Now do not ever speak of it again!"

tw: teen pregnancy, tw: adoption, tw: slight mention of violence
Donald Ezikel Sato was born on April 28th in 1978. At least that’s what he’s been told all his life. You see, Donny honestly had no idea if that was even his real name. He had grew up within the foster system. The thirty-seven year old was placed in the system the moment he was taken away from his birth mother’s arms. Because of this, Donny grew up tough. He grew up in Manhattan, New York and had to learn how to fight and stay strong. He learned how to take care of himself.
The social worker named Robin who had taken care of him all his childhood, they had formed a special bond since day one, and if you tried to argue then you’d be wrong since Don considered Robin to be his “mother.” He wasn’t the best in school, always getting into fights and getting into trouble but Robin still stuck by him. She made sure he succeeded and even though the man didn’t get straight A’s but he did get some good B’s and C’s. Though he was a loner, always have been and probably always will be. As Donny kept to himself, he found that he really loved fixing things. Anything with his hands. If something was broken, then Don would fix it. It was a hobby that he had picked up and was quite good at it.
It was mostly cars. While fixing cars Donny was able to get his hands dirty. He was able to get distracted. Distracted from love, but that was far from the truth. At just sixteen years old, when things were going good for a bit, he had met and fallen in love with someone named Olivia Wells. They were mad for each other, and Robin tried to advise him against it, considering they were going too fast but Donny didn’t care. He was happy. For the first time in his life, the kid was happy. He and Olivia were together for a few years, but at seventeen she found out she was pregnant. Don had gotten her pregnant. Terrified and broke, he supported her with whatever she choose. They eventually broke up and Donny slipped up again. Getting into fights, getting into trouble. However, Robin made him go straight to work. She made him fall in love with fixing cars again and getting his hands dirty. After high school, and after his situation with Olivia, it was straight to work for him. Donny went to work in a shop fixing up cars and bikes and any other motor vehicle. He loved it honestly, and it paid enough for him to save up but not just enough to rent his own place so he would always crash at Robin’s.
However, Donny took up a second job which was freelance contracting and he thoroughly enjoyed it. That finally did it and Don put his first down payment on a place in Brooklyn, New York. Though nights were lonely and he filled that loneliness with different girls throughout the week, women he’s flirted with at the random bars he’d drink at. No one ever really stuck. That was until he had met one girl, one girl whom he tried so hard not to fall in love with. They were usually one night stands with the women he’s slept with throughout the years and throughout his time in Brooklyn, but this women? No. She was it for him and he knew it and it terrified him. He was ready to propose and though before he could pop the question, the women disappeared.
Donny was devastated honestly and he realized that he wasn’t cut out to be committed or tied down to just one person. So, in order to clear his mind the man took a vacation for first time in his life. For some reason that spot was Alaska and Donny found Anchorage and has never left. Anchorage soon became home. Still a loaner, the man opened up his own shop called Satos’ Body & Co, and continues to be a freelance contractor as well on the side in town. Donny has been here for eight years. He still keeps in touch with Robin, and is forever grateful for her and her husband Chip who has helped him along the way. He has no interest in finding out about his biological parents

Lyla didn't know what to say as she watched the little girl smiling over at her. She seemed so happy; but Lyla knew that wasn't always the case. Children were resilient. They would be the first to look on the bright side even if their entire world was falling apart. The fact that she was outside of her home in the chill evening air just to avoid her parents and their fights spoke volumes.
"How old is she?", Lyla asked as she turned back towards Barbara and followed her over towards the front steps of the trailer.
"Just turned nine this past August. Her mom, Brielle, got pregnant when she was fifteen, and Butch, the father, is a lot older than her. Her mother made her marry Butch because of the pregnancy so the baby wouldn't be a bastard. It's the worst kept secret in the world, and that poor girl has suffered because of it."
Lyla hated that she knew what that was like. Her own father had disappeared shortly after her mother got pregnant. Her mother never really explained why. She always said that having a family hadn't been a part of his plans, and she had accepted that. Still, it had left Lyla growing up wondering who her father was and what had happened to him. Did he even know that she existed? She may never know for certain, but she knew that the answers ate her away at night.
"My advice to you, child, is to keep to yourself. Southern hospitality is for people who deserve it and they don't. Butch does a lot of things he shouldn't, and he's constantly in and out of jail. And Brielle...well, she's been known to run off my tenants with her theatrics. Buy earplugs. You can still hear their screaming over here. "
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"I don't know! Some girl. The old bat is taking her over there right now."
Butch was quiet as Brielle continued to stare out the window. Having someone occupy that trailer was going to put a wrench in his plans, but there was nothing he could do about that. He would just have to look for a place elsewhere to move. He couldn't keep doing what he was doing with the landlord watching his every move, and he had to get away from Brielle. He couldn't stand living with her and her brat of a daughter for one more minute.
"How old is she?", he asked, curiously, as the gears began to move in his head.
"She looks young, but who knows. Pretty, I guess, but she's wearing the rattiest clothes I've ever seen. I thought we had it bad here."
Butch rolled his eyes as he reached into his pocket, searching for the blunt that he has stuffed inside of it earlier.
Maybe his plans weren't completely ruined after all, he thought, as he lit the blunt and moved it to his lips to take the first of many smokes that day.

stetson was raised catholic. surprisingly, finding out the gods were real didn't shatter his world (unlike my other explicitly christian character, [cough] aeron [cough]). the only time it really impacted his life was his high school sweetheart telling him about her pregnancy. they were monogamous, so it was obvious who the father was.
like the good catholic jake raised him to be, stetson asked penelope to marry him. no ring, no fanfare, just the question. instead of a yes or no, she met him with a different question: "is this because you love me enough to marry me or due to this accident?"
and wasn't that the problem? penelope knew him too well. he loved her—still does, to this day—but that wasn't the reason he proposed.
in the end, her rejection worked out. their love faded from romantic to platonic. co-parenting as friends instead of a married couple has allowed their daughter, savvy, to have a healthy view of love since she doesn't have parents stuck in a marriage they didn't really want.

Valentine’s Day Excerpt-Aroace Lee
@vsnotresponding @likegemstone
Lee had been at Fourth Caste Medical for four months now. It was a newer agency, and it heavily relied on interns. Lee was nearly positive that he was getting experience that average doctors didn’t dream of.
A couple that had reminded him of Lao and Verity, people he hadn’t talked to for about five months now, had just left their office. They too thought of themselves as husband and wife, despite only being in their teens. Like Verity, Lian was also pregnant at a frighteningly young age. It was Lee’s thought that teenage bodies weren’t meant to carry babies, but malnourished teenage bodies definitely weren’t. He had thought it was sad when Lu had died, but now he thought it was a miracle that Verity lived.
His mind went through painful memories of Verity giving birth and the screams that had pierced that night. How had she managed in such conditions? He shook his head, ridding himself of the thoughts. He would have to pass her off to the maternity and pregnancy unit. Winola, his fellow intern, who would take her.
Lee was focusing on writing the paper work for the couple, when Winola walked in.
“I get another new patient?” She said with a smile, and she stood next to him.
“I think…” He said, his wind still wandering while he wrote, “You have the most patients.”
“I predicted that when I took the position. Our supervisor told me that I would have the most work.”
Lee set the pad down. “Like usual, he isn’t wrong.”
“No, he isn’t. Were they a cute couple?”
Lee found himself pausing. “Yeah.”
Like usual, Winola stayed quiet until he said more. She was like Lao in that way, but unlike Lao, he didn’t feel as obligated to lie. Though that didn’t stop him from attempting to from time to time. “My sister-in-law was around that age when she had her first baby.”
“Did she make it?”
“Somehow.” Lee said.
“Is she here too?” Winola asked.
Lee picked back up his notes, and did something that arguably was too similar to Juni. Something that Lao had accused him of more than a few times.
“I should get back to work—“
He was about to leave Winola in her questions, when she said “We should hang out some time. Intern life is stressful, and I think it’s required we have fun.”
Remembering his misadventures in dating a few months prior, he said “I don’t date. Sorry, it’s really not personal. You seem nice.”
She tilted her head, as if confused. “Who said it was a date? I have a personal policy against dating. I was thinking we’ve been busting our asses and we should celebrate and have fun.”
A knot loosened in Lee’s chest. He had hardly seen anyone since his argument with his family. He had gone on a few dates only for it to blow up in his face. Out of desperation, he had seen Min once or twice.
But otherwise he had been alone, and those he would have normally talked to he didn’t know when he wanted to reach out again. New people he met felt like there was a thick glass between them, his voice muffling each time he spoke. But maybe, he had never had a clear voice to begin with.
“I have a personal policy against dating too.” Lee said with a small smile. “I have another patient, but we’ll do something this weekend?”
Winola’s face brightened, and she said “Perfect, and I will attend my pregnant patient.”
“Here’s her papers.”
She took them out of his hand. “It will be good to get to know each other. Work is too serious.”
“I have a friend who says that being serious is a crime.”
She walked out the door, and she called out “He’s right.”
Lee found himself chuckling, and there was a pang in his heart. His smile fell, and he gathered his papers. He hadn’t talked to Ray either in five months. While Lao and Verity were hurt, but understanding. Ray was upset and betrayed that Lee would cut him out too. He didn’t know it, but it wasn’t forever. He would call when he was ready.
Whenever that was.

ZEYNEP "ZEYNO/HERO" SILA TÜRKMEN
age: 31.
gender & pronouns: nonbinary & she (primary)/they (secondary).
neighborhood: university heights.
occupations: owner of the comic lab and owner of a hero's journey.
fc: özge özacar.
HER STORY
trigger warnings: cheating, teen pregnancy, mental health, post-partum depression.
Cemre and Kerem Türkmen always knew that they wanted the best for their daughter. That they wanted her to grow up strong, connected to her roots but also have the love to fly. When Zeynep came to their lives, they knew that they loved her more than anything else in the world. They just didn’t realize that their daughter was going to experience quite an adventure as she grew up. For the longest time, they thought that the most adventurous thing they’d explore with Zeyno was her sexual orientation, something she discovered herself when she was thirteen. Alternating living between their home country of Türkiye in İstanbul and Boston, Massachusetts, they had struggled for a while learning about her gender identity and it resulted in her being sent to an international school in Dubai. For a while, Zeyno absolutely hated the school. Yet somehow, over time, it grew to not become too bad and it certainly helped her with her English. She even eventually started seeing someone when she was sixteen.
Falling in love for the first time was one of the simplest yet most beautiful things she’d ever experienced. While she hadn’t been expecting him, she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Even when she told him about her sexual orientation, he only seemed to love her more and more. With both of their parents’ permission and blessings, they were set in an arranged marriage and promised to each other. Everything was going perfectly… Until news of Zeynep’s pregnancy came out.
Zeynep and her fiancé had just finished graduating from high school, the two ready to start university in the autumn and work even closer to starting their life together. But the moment their parents found out that she was pregnant, they were furious. Her meant-to-be-future-in-laws accused her of sleeping around and cheating on their son. In the midst of it all, he had panicked and said that he wasn’t the father, leaving her heartbroken. The engagement was called off, she was forced to say goodbye to the person she loved, and under a lot of scrutinizing pressure, Leticia’s parents cut her off. Giving her enough money so that she’d be comfortable for a while then giving her the slip.
She felt lost in it all. At eighteen years old, she was completely removed from everyone she loved and everything she knew. Having meant to start school at Harvard, she moved out to Boston as quickly as possible. Trying to prepare everything she could before her babies—yes, babies; Zeynep was pregnant with twins—were meant to come and school was to start. With the money her parents gave her, she was able to find a small apartment that worked yet saved the rest of the money to go towards the babies. She’d been quick to get a job, trying to earn enough money so that she could be able to provide for her children. Soon enough, her twins, Leia and Luke (after her favourite Star Wars characters), came into her life.
By then, she had a steady job at Barnes and Noble while also taking a few night classes for her Creative Writing and Theater majors. Eventually, as the years went by and her daughters grew up more and more, the more she continued her schooling and the bills began to pile up, Zeyno took on a second job at a movie rental shop (the beautiful days before streaming became a convenience). She graduated from Harvard and while she had been blessed with many scholarships and grants, there were still loans to be paid. Her children had been the only light in her life. After what happened, she struggled over connecting with others romantically. She slept around a lot, using them the same way they used her to forget her struggles for a while. Then, she met someone rather unexpectedly.
Zeynep (or Hero, the alias they used online and with others in the queer community) was newly 21 and her friends (well, the few friends she had) believed that it was time for her to have some fun and live life a little. With being able to come up a plan to make that a reality and for the twins to be taken care of, she was dragged out to Las Vegas for a couple days. No responsibilities, no worries about the future; Just a young adult being given the freedom to do whatever the hell she wanted. Okay, sure, she struggled high-key with it at first. The urge to check on her children always just too strong. Yet, she soon met someone. At first, it was meant to be a short, 24 hour romance that went nowhere. Just someone who touched her soul and then they both went on their ways. Now, imagine their surprise waking up next morning and discovering that, not only had they fallen asleep together, they had also gotten married at some point during the past 24 hours. Zeynep was freaking the fuck out, trying to figure out how she can annul this without ever letting her kids find out. After awhile, though, they both calmed down. And brewed one of the most insane ideas in the world: what if they stayed married for the next year and see what happens next?
It was batshit crazy and Zeyno stated so. Of course, she was in. That is, until she heard the rest of her semi-partner’s idea: they moved to her partner’s hometown in Colorado. She had her children. They had a life in Boston. She was being looked at for a promotion at Barnes and Noble. How fair would it be to uproot everything for a person she’d only been married to for, what, twelve hours? She wasn’t onboard at first and even stated so. But… she’d be lying if she said she wasn’t tempted. The idea of a fresh start… Her children growing up with another parent… The potential of being a family… She couldn’t resist finally. And in November 2012, the move was made from Boston to a townhouse downtown with her new partner.
In all honesty? It was an incredible struggle at first. She fortunately had been able to get an assistant manager position at the Comic Lab and the twins adjusted better than expected. Yet it was Hero who struggled to adjust for the longest time. She couldn’t find it within herself to settle, struggling to make friends in Providence Peak and challenging her partner the best she could. Pushing their buttons and ready to piss them off. Surprisingly, though? They were supportive and understanding. The last time she had experience that had been with her ex and she soon admitted to them about what happened. Nothing could express the amount of support and care she received. After awhile, things got easier. Then a year went by and they had a vow renewal. Fully cementing their commitment to each other and embracing their love together.
Over the years, her partner adopted Luke and Leia, becoming not just their stepparent, but their parent completely. Six years went by and they were then joined with Meg, named after Zeynep’s favourite Disney character, Megara. For a moment, things were good. But after awhile, her mental health began to struggle as she began to deal with post-partum depression. Nothing was going right between her and her partner, a rift soon growing and growing. It was when they left in the middle of night, claiming that they couldn’t do this anymore that she was snapped right out of it. Well, sort of. She was finally able to reached out to her friends for help and received it, especially after hearing the news about her partner.
Over the past six years as she navigated being a (sort of) single parent again, she went back to primarily making sure her children were taken care of, but also trying to have a life as well. She gained ownership of the Comic Lab and as of a couple of weeks ago, she has now opened up a new business located in University Heights right next to the Comic Lab: A Hero’s Journey, a book-and-movie shop that’s conveniently located beneath the apartment she and the kids moved into after her partner left. She’s even tried to dip her toes back into the dating scene, though nothing more concrete has occurred since then.
Despite things not looking like how she expected when she first moved to Providence Peak eleven years ago and despite her failed marriage, Zeynep is admittedly happy with where she is in her life. After all, she has three children who are healthy and happy. She owns two businesses that she’s passionate about. She has friends in town and a life, something she didn’t really have before. What more could she want?

I know for a fact some people here are so CHRONICALLY ONLINE because in real life, no one bats an eye at a story with teenage pregnancy. It might make some people uncomfortable or wary but no one in real life would actually think you’re promoting teenage pregnancy. Teenage pregnancy happens, no one says it’s a good thing but hey it happens and there are children who’s backgrounds and life are shaped by it.
There are people from different backgrounds. I wasn’t mad with last anon criticizing something they find uncomfortable, but it’s funny that nobody questions child abuse in a physical or in emotional sense, they get mad but not to the point they need to ask the author to change a certain theme in their story, and the line is drawn when I talk about teen pregnancy. I just wrote MC’s background, and it is nothing too explicit, there were no abuses here, lmao.
Im not promoting teens before teens to have babies before they finish their studies. To bring a life into the world is a heavy responsibility, plus they never ask to be born. Especially since my home country doesn’t legalize abortion for religious reasons and I know how hard it is to take care of a kid at the same time balancing other things, it’s even harder without any support and no financial stability. Not just teen parents but other parents from different backgrounds and titles, to raise a child and do everything you can do to bring up a child who will grow up into a good person.

age: 30.
gender & pronouns: demigirl & she/they.

HER STORY

Bruna and Andre Oliveira always knew that they wanted the best for their daughter. That they wanted her to grow up strong, connected to her roots but also have the love to fly. When Leticia came to their lives, they knew that they loved her more than anything else in the world. They just didn’t realize that their daughter was going to experience quite an adventure as she grew up. For the longest time, Bruna and Andre thought that the most adventurous thing they’d explore with Leti was her sexuality and gender identity, something she discovered herself when she was thirteen. Living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, they had struggled for awhile learning about this and it resulted in her being sent to an international school in Dubai. For awhile, Leti absolutely hated the school. Yet somehow, over time, it grew to not become too bad and it certainly helped her with her English. She even eventually started seeing someone when she was sixteen.
Falling in love for the first time was once of the simplest yet most beautiful things she’d ever experience. While she hadn’t been expecting him, she knew that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him. Even when she told him about her sexuality and gender identity, he only seemed to love her more and more. With both of their parents’ permission and blessings, they were set in an arrange marriage and promised to each other. Everything was going perfectly... Until news of Leti’s pregnancy came out.
Leticia and her fiancé had just finished graduating from high school, the two ready to start university in the autumn and work even closer to starting their life together. But the moment their parents found out that she was pregnant, they were furious. Her meant-to-be-future-in-laws accused her of sleeping around and cheating on their son. In the midst of it all, he had panicked and said that he wasn’t the father, leaving her heartbroken. The engagement was called off, she was forced to say goodbye to the person she loved, and under a lot of scrutinizing pressure, Leticia’s parents cut her off. Giving her enough money so that she’d be comfortable for awhile then giving her the slip.
She felt lost in it all. At eighteen years old, she was completely removed from everyone she loved and everything she knew. Having meant to start school at Harvard, she moved out to Boston as quickly as possible. Trying to prepare everything she could before her babies---yes, babies; Leti was pregnant with twins---were meant to come and school was to start. With the money her parents gave her, she was able to find a small apartment that worked yet saved the rest of the money to go towards the babies. She’d been quick to get a job, trying to earn enough money so that she could be able to provide for her children. Soon enough, her twin girls, Leia and Belle (after her favourite Star Wars character and Disney Princess), came into her life. By then, she had a steady job at a Barnes and Noble while also taking a few night classes for her Creative Writing and Hospitality Management majors. Eventually, as the years gone by and her daughters grew up more and more, the more she continued her schooling and the bills began to pile up, Leti took on a second job as a performer at the hottest strip club in Boston. It was a job that she never saw herself partaking in, but thanks to having grown up dancing, it was a job she became good at. Eventually, she graduated from Harvard and while she had been blessed with many scholarships and grants, there were still loans to be paid. Her daughters had been the only light in her life... At least, until sometime later, she met a young woman who came to Boston for a little bit: Carla Villanueva. For the first time in forever, she connected with someone—she was falling in love again. She never saw Carla coming and after what happened with her ex-fiancé and father of her daughters, she’d been scared. Admittedly, what they had was brief and eventually, Carla had to leave whereas Leticia stayed. But god, she wished she had joined her. She never would’ve met Luca then.
Luca was a man who was so angry with the world he earned money by underground fighting and she needed a distraction from everything. Whether it was her internal anxiety struggling over how she would provide for her girls to how she’ll take care of her college expenses to missing Carla, she turned to Luca despite him scaring her a little bit. His anger brought out the worst in him and seeing one of his matches, Leti soon ghosted after months of them sleeping together. She’d been afraid of him showing that side of him to her when by themselves, or worse: to her daughters. But after Leticia suffered a drug overdose on Valentine’s Day and was in the hospital for awhile, he soon came back into her life. Not too long later, she married Luca. Was it for love? At first, perhaps there’d been some true feelings for him. But after awhile, he went from being a loving partner to a jealous and possessive asshole. He never showed his true colours around Leia and Belle, and kept control whenever the two would fight. It was toxic and while she tried to maintain her ground, deep down, the girl was terrified of the day he’d no longer have control over himself. When she found out she was pregnant, though, things did calm down. They were working together and communicating. For a moment, she was starting to believe that she was actually in love with him. That is, until she lost the baby.
It’d been about four months into the pregnancy and she wasn’t showing much yet, but it’d taken a huge blow on the both of them. One night, Luca finally admitted that he blamed her. Once more, their cycle of screaming matches and breaking things came back. Once more did her fear that Luca would lose his control came back and she feared it happening. And one night, it came deeply close. She found out he was having multiple affairs and with the girls at a sleepover, she took the opportunity to confront him. They had the worst fight ever that night: screaming well into the early morning, all kinds of shit knocked over and/or broken, holes that had been punched into the walls. They hadn’t gotten physical with each other, not until later when they decided to fuck instead of continue their screaming, but she’d been terrified the entire time. That night, she began a plan on filing for divorce.
After that, she finally decided to get her shit together and to make plans on getting away. While she stayed working at Barnes and Noble and the club while also started to also do dance performances for events to earn extra money, she was trying to find a nice place in Somerville where she and the girls could live together. She started to get her life back on track and to become the adult she needed to be. If not for herself, then for her daughters. For awhile, things were going good. Her and Luca didn’t fight again yet she continued her plan, while he was none the wiser. Then an incident happened at work, a rowdy client who was drunk and acting inappropriately. He’d tried to make a move on her and she told him off, causing him to punch her before slicing her arm with a knife he snuck in. If it hadn’t been for his friends and the bodyguards stopping him, she wouldn’t be here. She had quickly snuck away to a bathroom, grabbing supplies so that she could stitch herself back together and deal with what the fuck happened. It was a massive wakeup call and she knew that she needed to sort her shit out. How she did that, though, was nerve-wracking: by seeking out her parents. Over the years, Andre and Bruna had moved from Brazil to the States. The couple were the owners of the prestigious and luxurious resort and hotel chain known as The Jade Palace, having been a family business run by the Oliveiras since the late 1800s, and they had opened up a new location there in Boston. Learning about her parents living there, she cautiously sought them out. At first, it wasn’t a happy reunion and she’d been turn away. Then, while she’d been out with her daughters, they ran into each other again. Her parents finally seeing their granddaughters for the first time. Seeing Leia and Belle was exactly what the two needed for them to wake up. They offered their help, finally, and she took it.
She finally had the divorce papers and restraining order given to Luca. She moved out completely and into her parents’ new-ish Boston home, her and the girls safe and sound in the Oliveira mansion. She left her job at the club so that she could begin working as a front-end attendant for the hotel before eventually making her way up. While she kept her job at the bookstore for as long as she could, having genuinely loved working there, she left it eventually to focus on her family and the Jade Palace. For awhile, she finally got everything under control. Her life was back in order. Her dad then made her an offer: to move to Providence Peak in early 2020 when the new location of the Jade Palace were to open in the summer of 2021 and undergo a process to be the owner of the hotel. During that time, she’d been able to release a well-received Young Adult book and considered with returning to the idea of becoming an author, a childhood dream of hers, but she decided to take her father’s offer. Soon enough, Leticia and her daughters moved to Providence Peak.
Never had she expected a small mountain city to take over her heart the way it did. While she’s made some friends (and enemies) and even some surprising reconnections, while she also released a second book, while she found herself enjoying owning the Providence Peak location of her family’s hotel, while she reconnected with Carla and even began to try to start something with her, it would eventually end come early 2022. Her father’s health had been deteriorating and she had a duty as his daughter to return to help him. While she promised to return back to Providence Peak one day, she needed to focus on her father and especially on her daughters. Yet over the course of that time, she soon made a decision. Her step-cousin, Zahava Kamara, would become the new owner of the entire Jade Palace hotelier.
With her father battling cancer, things had been rough at the beginning. She had to watch her father, a normally strong man, in his weakest moment and it killed her. It was hard having to watch him like that and many times she found herself crying at night, feeling helpless. To add salt to the wound, her and Carla were beginning to grow estranged. A factor that broke her heart, especially after believing they could be together again and promising to return to return to her. As months went on and the longer she stayed in Boston, she began to fear that her promise would be broken. Eventually, Andre began to grow stronger, healthier, better. In August of 2022, during an appointment with his doctor, finally some good news came: he was cancer-free. Andre and Bruna were ecstatic. With the girls having a soccer tournament, though, Leticia had been unable to attend the appointment. During a break in the match, she’d gotten a call from her parents and they informed her of the happy news. All before tragedy would soon struck again; During the middle of the call, while they’d been driving, a collision happened and resulted in the worst thing imaginable: her parents died in the accident.
Leti couldn’t express her devastation over the path life led her on again. One minute, she was receiving the best news she’s heard in awhile. The next, she received the worst news. After the funeral, Leti’s best friend and older sister figure, Rachel Hargrove, offered to watch the girls for awhile back in Providence Peak. Have them return home and be with friends again while she took time to mourn. Considering how deeply and intensely the woman felt things, she knew that it was for the best. And for awhile, she mourned. She downward spiraled and took the time to do so. Yet, eventually, she remembered that her parents wouldn’t want her to be like this. That they would rather her try to find joy in life again instead of mourn. Wiping away her tears and trying to find peace within herself, she soon got to work. She soon was making preparations over the family mansion and her parents belongings for both their homes in Rio and in Boston, making sure to contact her family overseas and work with them as well. She even created a YouTube channel, using it as a way to connect more with her readers and to fully express her love of fandom, along with starting up a TikTok, much to her preteen daughters’ chagrin. Eventually, after all business in Boston and concerning her family was dealt with, after she found herself in a better mental situation, she would soon switch over to a new target: returning back to Providence Peak.
While still in Boston, she’d been able to lock down on a new house in Claret Park, her, Leia, and Belle inheriting a large fortune both her parents left behind for them, among other things. However, she knew that she wanted to do more things in her life once she made her way back home. After contacting the owner of the Comic Lab, which had been one of her favourite places in Providence Peak, she soon struck a deal with them: she bought the comic book store, intending on finding a newer, bigger building for it and expand its merchandise and other things to offer. A large building for all nerdy fandom-loving people with merchandise, books, and all types of products with a café to serve food and drinks inspired by a multitude of fandoms and pop culture, she plans on the Comic Lab to grow into a business that’s basically the love child of Barnes and Noble, FYE, Game Stop, and Hot Topic (in her defense, they have many incredible pop culture products). Working with many book publications and organizations like BoxLunch and Loungefly to distribute these products.
After working on this project for awhile, along with writing a new book, Leticia has finally realized that it was now time to return home. Part of her is excited, especially to reunite with some people. Part of her is nervous, especially to reunite with some people. Yet overall, Leti is ready to put her past behind her and to try and find happiness for herself and for her daughters. Even if she is giving life the stink-eye in fear of it throwing another wrench at her.
