if there was one person who knew the manual on how quinn’s motherboard operated, it was gwen. that’s why quinn usually waited until she actually wanted to hear truth to talk to her; there was no pretending when you’ve known someone your entire life. still, quinn glowered into her tea and poked at the lemon with her straw like it had done something to personally offend her, “i live a very full life, don’t i? people should envy my life. i don’t understand this sudden influx of unwanted pity.”

(odeya rush, 22, female, she/her) * hey, i’m looking for the office of gwendolyn haim. they’re the employee who’s known around the office as the wunderkind, if that helps? not to be a gossip, but i’ve heard that they’re epigrammatic but inscrutable, is that true? i also heard that they’re the one who is bitter and washed up. anyways, here’s the coffee they ordered. (allie, 26, she/her, pst)
gold jewelry on a petite wrist, the drop of a sugar cube falling into a cup of your favorite tea, the smell of a bouquet of roses after a show at the met, the swaying of dark hair as you watch your unrequited love leave your line of sight, the weeping of a violin crying words unspoken next door, sparkling lip gloss in the low lights of an afterparty, the melancholy of a spoken word at open-mic night that feels like someone opened your soul and dissected your heartstrings.

about gwen -
most well-known for being an america’s got talent winner at the age of seven, gwen was a musical prodigy that excelled at every instrument she tried to play. specialized in the violin, gwen competed her whole life and won many accolades due to her skill and performance value - having been able to play the violin for the likes of the president and features on various award-winning ballads. she’s released a total of one album, which accumulated horrible sales and cut her off her contract. part of her couldn’t be mad - anything but classical covers aren’t her jam. if that album is how you know her she’ll be embarrassed.
overly polite and professional, gwen grew up learning how to be a first class lady from her grandparents; classical music lessons, modeling and etiquette, ballroom dance, and symphony. she holds perfect posture, walks with the same quiet and balance as a ghost. even her hair seems to fall over her shoulders with supernatural grace, like it’s gotten the memo. it’s hard to make her laugh, hard to make her smile, and hard to make her drop whatever wall she’d put up to keep people at an arms’ length.
if you ask her about herself she will very blatantly change the topic. even at work parties she doesn’t loosen up, opting for either working straight through them or marketing with a straight face to any person who has the audacity to bore her about how she was great on AGT and it’s a shame her record deal only covered one album. which, by the way, if you’re trying to get on her good graces don’t bring any of that up because she does feel the existential dread of an ex-gifted child and though she’s amazing she’s not good at hearing about it. the conversation will absolutely stagnate and she won’t do anything to fix it. functioning social skills? gwen doesn’t know her.
stony-faced and never speaking unless spoken to, gwen is generally unapproachable and hard to start a conversation with. her emotions are not readable on her face, or in her tone. dry and direct, gwen can come across as prickly. she’ll tell you the truth even when you don’t want to hear it; this makes her a good friend if you’re the kind of person that can handle that, but otherwise steer clear of asking for her opinion. she’ll give it to you no holds barred with no remorse - because you asked. she’s not completely without humor but because her delivery is so stoic and dry if you blink you might miss it. she’ll take your joke and run with it - if you’re trolling someone she’s a good person to have on your team because she’s not really perceived as someone that messes with people.
you might see her in the underground busking on your way to or from work, you can catch her in the music department, in charge of coordinating music for commercials, album previews, or writing jingles. it’s a pretty sweet gig if you’re roger from 101 Dalmatians but she’s not really into it and you can tell it’s not really her passion. if you’re the classical music type you can catch her playing first chair violin volunteering for the ballet or the opera, if you’re tryna be boujee like that. she’s definitely boujee like that, but you can tell she’s most relaxed and most herself when she’s playing that instead of trying to bop to some pop bullshit she doesn’t really feel.
if she can swing doing a solo or accompanied performance she does but as a recent grad and new masters hire that doesn’t happen often. she can play violin, cello, piano, guitar, and a good majority of the percussion section, but her first love is violin. classical music is her love language and if you’re trying to get onto her good side you can try to strike a conversation about that if you’re savvy enough. she’s not the type to ramble and info dump at you and she won’t be impressed if you try to bullshit your way through the conversation. if you’d like to learn, you can pay her $400 a month for lessons.

wanted connections -
PR relationship (no gender preference): you know, your character is in the spotlight, gwen used to be in the spotlight. it’s a thing for publicity or whatever because your character needs a washed up C-list celebrity to look cool next to. gwen will fucking hate it regardless of whether they get along or not, but she’s a pretty good actress and she’s got a pretty face so it still works.
toxic exes (no gender preference): i just want someone toxic that comes back to gwen whenever they’re h*rny and manages to snake their way back into her bed by manipulating her emotions. they can either still be into her but know they’re bad for each other so just pop up and then go “fuck this was a bad idea” and decide to be like “heheh anyways peace” after they screw around or they can just straight up use her because she has a weak spot for them. i want someone who’ll go for the low blows and make her actually show emotion on her face. maybe that’s why they go for the low blows. we can talk about it. :3c
i’m ready to go with the flow too so if you have any ideas or just wanna brainstorm i’m cool with that too. excited to write with y’all. <3
#masters.intro#henlo excited to write with y'all~ pls like or hit me up to plot teehee#i queued this a little early bc i don't have much time until way later in the day jwj;
