TRIGGER WARNINGS: sexual activity, infidelity

MEET VALERIE JANE THOMPSON

( Amber Heard, cis woman, and she/her ) Have you seen VALERIE JANE THOMPSON in Plain ? I heard they’re a 30 year old Cancer who was born in Plain, Georgia. Everyone in town thinks she had an affair with her older brother’s wife, but no one wants to say it out loud. Word around town is that they work as a teacher and is known to be affectionate and warm-hearted but intransigent and stubborn, too.

BACKGROUND---

The simple women of the Thompson family are known teachers in the town of Plain, Georgia. Barbara Thompson was a teacher, her daughter Shirley Thompson was a teacher, and now her daughter Valerie Thompson is a teacher. Teaching runs in their blood; it’s their lifeline, their calling.

The men of the Thompson family, however, are known for never staying. Just like Barbara’s husband left after thirty five years, Shirley’s left when his first child Zane was two, came back after two years, then left again after that. He didn’t stay to make memories, didn’t stay to build a life, didn’t stay at all. One day, he was just gone.

The Thompson children never made concrete memories with their father. Zane, as the older of the two, did have the chance to see the man. However, even at that young age, he had been warned by his grandmother not to trust too much. Valerie, on the other hand, never had the chance. Her grandmother would say that this was a blessing.

Who needed men anyway? The Thompson women were doing splendid on their own.

Under the care of their grandmother and their mother, Zane and Valerie grew up to be bubbly little children with stars in their eyes. Zane was the firm protector that Valerie leaned onto, while Valerie was the gentle soul who could make even the toughest protector connect with their emotions.

With only two years apart, the two children shared everything. From toys, to clothes, to secrets.

It was during their adolescent years that they started to differ in interests and crowd, but the two remained very close. Up until their early teenager years, all the way into late adulthood, the two remained the best friends that anyone could ever need.

In a world of push and pull, the Thompson siblings learned to push and pull together.

As Valerie studied to become a teacher, Zane studied to become a journalist. This was where they met their mutual friend --- someone who would later be the death of their relationship.

Valerie knew her first. They were classmates in the same major at the community college, and had almost every class together. At one point, the two shared mutual romantic feelings for one another. But, before they could do anything about it, Zane stepped in. He knew her for a long time, too; not as long as a time as Valerie, but a long time nonetheless. It was one September morning that he decided to pursue her. She said yes.

Devastated, Valerie distanced herself from their friend and her brother. However, she was far too close to her brother to allow someone else to ruin their relationship, so she patched up with him and allowed life to happen. She still saw her friend, still loved her friend, but what was done was done.

When she was twenty seven, her brother and the woman they’d both fallen in love with decided to get married. Valerie would be the maid of honor, of course. She was happy. She was supposed to be.

At no point did Valerie intend to ruin her brother’s marriage, but at twenty nine, she did just that. On a family vacation, one drink led to two, and reminiscing old times led to kissing.

It ended there. Valerie did not allow things to go any further, but news travels fast in a small town where everyone knows everything. The next thing she knew was her brother, angry and red, unforgiving.

She tried to clear things up with him, but none of her explanations work.

She’s thirty now, and --- well --- life might be a little more interesting, but it is definitely a lot sadder, too.

PERSONALITY---

AFFECTIONATE: Valerie has always had a soft nature. She likes caring about other people, and she likes showing them that she does. This was a trait she inherited from her mother, as her mother has always been affectionate with words and touch. Sometimes, to go the extra mile, Valerie will be affectionate with gifts as well.

WARM-HEARTED: Like her affectionate nature, Valerie has taken after her mother’s warm heart. She easily forgives, easily lets go --- especially when it comes to friends and family. That is why she has such a hard time accepting that she did what she did, knowing that it is unforgivable in her eyes and in her brother’s.

INTRANSIGENT: Despite her soft and gentle soul, Valerie does know how to stand by her convictions. She isn’t easily swayed, and will make sure to keep reiterating herself and what she believes in to someone who will force her to do or think otherwise. This becomes a flaw in that she is very inflexible, and doesn’t allow her mindset to be changed.

STUBBORN: There is also something stubborn in Valerie. She’s persistent, that is. Take the case of her brother. She’s been asked so many times to stop apologizing and to cease all contact with him, but she keeps doing just that because she very stubbornly believes that they can still patch things up.

CONNECTION IDEAS---

The integral characters of her story would be really fun to have! These are the brother and the brother’s wife characters! Please contact me if you want to take up any of the characters! I’d really appreciate that!

Some teacher connections would be really nice to! You know, friends who aren’t really friends but gossip around the wife and Valerie because they all work in the same school.

Childhood friends! People who grew up here in Plain!

First love, exes, etc. etc. Gender doesn’t matter because Valerie is bisexual as Heck.

Enemies! People who think she’s fake and that she did what she did!

TRIGGER WARNINGS: death, accident, sexual activity

MEET ANNA MAE PALMER

( Alexandra Daddario, cis woman, and she/her ) Have you seen Anna Mae Palmer name in Plain? I heard they’re a 30 year old Sagittarius who was born in New York. They’ve been in town for 3 years and work as a lifeguard. Apparently they moved here because a famous book and movie that became a huge rumor in her hometown was based off her family but no one wants to say it out loud. Word around town is that they’re outgoing and social but irresponsible and indecisive, too.

BACKGROUND---

Fun fact: Anna’s family hails from Plain, Georgia. Her grandmother lived here, and so did her mother. Her father moved to Plain as a young man, and so it was in Plain that her parents met. Their whole lives revolved around this small town. Until it didn’t anymore.

When Anna’s mom was pregnant with Anna, she and her husband decided to move to New York. They needed to see new places, lead different lives, become different people. Their whole lives had been halted by Plain; they needed to restart.

So, Anna Mae Palmer never knew of the town Plain. She never knew that her family’s lives were so entwined with the town’s. The small town life was never anything that struck out to her. She grew up with her younger sister, her mother, and her father.

As Anna was growing up, she grew very close to her mother. To this day, she would say that she had the best mother that ever lived. No one could take this away from her.

Not even the accident that took her mother. When Anna was twelve, her mother got into a car accident. It was one that took her mother’s life, and changed hers completely.

From there, Anna had to take the role of a parental figure while her father grieved and her nine year old sister grew up. Her chance at childhood was taken away from her the moment her mother was.

It was all too much, though. She didn’t want to be her sister’s mother, and she didn’t want to be her father’s shoulder to cry on. The moment that she had the chance at eighteen, Anna moved away to study for university. During this time, she had the peace of mind she’d been longing for in the last six years.

After university, Anna didn’t want to go back to her family home. She moved back to New York, but decided that she would live closer to her job and away from her father and younger sister. This made her distant from her own family, but she decided that she deserved that much since she’d been their rock for the last few years.

Since, she’d been living alone and working her way up the corporate ladder as a marketing specialist.

Three years ago, her sister announced that she would be getting married. Anna was pleased, but sad that they’d grown so distant. But, more than that, she was surprised when her sister decided to get married where their parents met. That was how Anna found herself in Plain, Georgia, after twenty seven years of her life.

This, however, wasn’t the biggest story. By far, the most shocking revelations were that related to her mother. Being in Plain unearthed so many truths about her family --- one of which was a town rumor.

There are multiple rumors in Plain, but one of them goes like this:

A twenty-one year old man and a forty-two year old woman sleep together. They continue their relationship for six months before something breaks them up: the twenty-one year old man sleeps with his lover’s daughter. The young couple run away for a few days to have the time of their lives, but there’s a catch. Three days later, the woman returns to get married. No, not to the man she and her mother knew. Rather, to another man. She gave birth nine months later.

This rumor became so well-loved that it was turned into a book and a movie. A town favorite, if you will.

As she unearthed the details of this rumor, Anna decided to stay in Plain. She needed more. Had to know more. Had to find out more. She needed to find the man that could be her father, more importantly.

But, most of all, she decided to stay because Plain has brought her closer to her mother.

PERSONALITY---

OUTGOING: Anna is always ready to put herself in situations that go out of her comfort zone. Her friendly nature is almost always the first thing that a new person might notice about her. However, for as socially confident as she is, she is also sometimes overbearing. Her confidence has led her to do some not-so-smart things in the past.

SOCIAL: Having been a marketing specialist in New York taught Anna the art of making connections and interacting with others. Despite living in the small town of Plain, she has several connections with several industries in New York.

IRRESPONSIBLE: Anna is responsible when it comes to family, when it comes to her younger sister, when it comes to her father. She is responsible in taking care of others. But, when it comes to herself, Anna couldn’t care less. She has gotten herself in ugly situations before because of her lack of responsibility.

INDECISIVE: Much like her lack of responsibility, Anna’s indecisiveness only applies to herself. She doesn’t know how to make decisions that will benefit her, and know less of how to stick to them. When it comes to others, however, Anna is very adept at making sure they stand by their decisions.

CONNECTION IDEAS---

I’ve got an idea that the man her grandmother and mother had slept with arrives to town! That connection might be nice to play out!

Friendships! I’m down for friendships! I love girls being girls and girls being friends a lot!

Suitors, maybe?

Enemies, too!

Oh, and her younger sister! That would be A LOT of fun!
