( MARGOT ROBBIE, SHE/HER, FEMALE â© weâve been keeping an eye out for TWENTY SEVEN YEAR OLD STEPHANIE FENTON lately. they have been living in WICKERY FALLS for about SEVEN YEARS but something sparked my interest more. as it turns out - the FENTON family have indeed tried their best to tuck away STEPHANIEâS IMPATIENT tendencies, but it only seems to bring out HER PROVOCATIVENESS more. according to an anonymous source, SHE can be HUMOROUS. she is a pretty cool SCHOOL NURSE most shocking of all, it seems that STEPHANIE has been keeping a secret: one that could destroy HER life, but the thing is nothing stays secret for long, especially in WICKERY FALLS.
hello hello hello ! my name is jamie i am twenty one and im from the gmt timezone !! im super excited to get stuck into this roleplay and really get to know all of you and your muses ! my alltime fave is emma roberts and a good runner up is austin butler x enough about me tho ! let me introduce you to my QUEEN stephanie.
B A C K S T O R Y
Childhood
Stephanie was born to two loving parents just outside of San Diego, California. Her mother was named Helen, who was a midwife in their local hospital, and her father, David, was a banker, which often resulted in him working long hours, he worked in the city - so by the time he got home, he didnât really have the energy to bond with his family. Stephanie had an older sister, by three years, named Charlotte and later in her life was blessed with a little brother, with two years between them, named Alex. As they grew into young children, a bond grew between Stephanieâs older and younger sibling. While Stephanie would see the way that Charlotte and Alex would play, she would spend more time with her mother, the two of them felt as if they only really had each other in the house, and over time they formed an inseparable bond - much to the disdain of Stephanieâs siblings.
As the years went by, and Stephanie started school, the rift in their family only seemed to grow. Her parents would argue more, and her siblings would purposely stop involving Stephanie in any plans. The Fentons still portrayed the perfect suburban family image to their mutual friends, to an outsider they seemed like they had everything together, but inside their façade was an ever-growing animosity towards each other. As Stephanie settled into the first couple of years of school she started to make friends, but her mother often found ways to get between her friendships, almost a level of jealousy that anyone would take away her relationship with her daughter. Unfortunately for Stephanie, as a young child she was blinded by the trust she had for her mother. Her mother always seemed to have a good reason for Stephanie to not visit friends, or have friends over, whilst her older sister seemed to have the freedom to see whoever she wanted - but even as Stephanie saw this, she felt it best to not question her mother. Instead, she would comfort her after arguments with her father, or help her with chores around the house, just to alleviate some of the stress.
Teenage Years
As Stephanie got older, and hit her teenage years, she barely spoke with her siblings, and shared a mutual dislike of her father with her mother, as she had only heard the negative stories from her mother - Stephanieâs mother made sure that the only opinion Stephanie could form of her father was the image that her mother wanted. Stephanie found that many of her friends stopped inviting her to birthday parties etc, as she was never allowed to attend anyway. Stephanie would complain about this to her mother and receive responses such as âWell are they really your friends then?â or âIf they wonât invite you places, lets have our own day out.â Stephanie would agree to these plans without any hesitation, she felt that her mother had no reason to lie to her, and really began to believe the lies that she was being spoon-fed. Stephanie knew to not even try and get a boyfriend, knowing it would be futile, especially with her strict parents, so any attention she received from boys she ignored, even as she got to the age of wanting to experience new things, she knew it just wouldnât be worth the hassle trying to convince her mother to let her out. Stephanie finally started to realise that she had been trapped by her mother her entire life. She tried to talk to her sister about this but her sister had no empathy towards her, and just replied coldly âAt least you finally can have a life.â Stephanie knew her sister was right, but it hurt her. She had no real friends at school, no siblings to share her issues with, and no boys to keep her entertained as a teenager. Through it all, however, Stephanie still managed to finish high-school with incredible grades, which promised her a bright future. Having an empty social calendar helped her to study at home and really achieve great results at the age of seventeen.
One evening, Stephanie was talking to her mother regarding her future career plans. She felt like she wanted to either go into studying Law or Business, and started to look into these fields at colleges around the country. Stephanieâs mother didnât seem too interested as they spoke about these areas, and seemed to tense up at the mention of Stephanie moving across the country to study. Although Stephanie knew it would upset her mother, she also knew what she wanted to do in life, and how much she wanted to achieve, so for the first time in her life, it felt like she was finally choosing her own path. She applied to colleges throughout the country, knowing that at least one or two would accept her to be able to pursue a great life for herself.
Stephanieâs freedom didnât last long. A couple of months passed after her conversation with her mother, and nothing more had been mentioned regarding her studies. Stephanie was sat at her desk in her room, when her mother came in, a smile on her face and a letter addressed to Stephanie in her hands. She took the letter from her mother, confused, and opened it. Inside was an acceptance letter to the nursing apprenticeship scheme that had recently opened at the hospital in which Stephanieâs mother worked. Stephanie stared at the letter for a few minutes, as she tried to process the information in front of her. Her mother had done the unthinkable, and chosen Stephanieâs life path for her. Behind her back, her mother had thrown away acceptance letters and written to colleges to withdraw applications that Stephanie had spent a lot of time and effort to perfect, and applied in her name to a nursing apprenticeship. Stephanie dropped her letter and left the house, her mother calling her back, but to no avail. She soon realised she had nowhere to go. Her sister had moved out, but never answered any of Stephanieâs calls. Stephanie tried to contact colleges to allow her another chance, but nothing worked. She was too late. Her fate had been sealed by her mother. She was forced to go into nursing, to work alongside her mother in the same building. But things would never been the same between them again.
Young Adult
Stephanie forced herself through her nursing apprenticeship - not because she wanted to, but because she felt as if she had no choice. Her entire childhood, the best years of her life, had been robbed by her mother. After the college incident between the two of them, things were never the same. Her mother and father finally split up, her mother receiving a big enough payout to allow her to survive on her own salary, in a smaller house, however. Stephanieâs brother, Alex, stayed with their father, and naturally Stephanie begrudgingly ended up with her mother. For a few months, her mother tried to fix things, but nothing would ever allow Stephanie to forgive the betrayal from her mother. Eventually, her mother gave up. They avoided eachother around the house, and even more so in the hospital where they both worked. Stephanie finally knew what it was like to be free. She started to make new friends, she was going out with her colleagues and forming lasting relationships with them, and finally had her first boyfriend, a student doctor by the name of Will. Their fling ended after a few months, but Stephanie finally had her taste - and she liked it.
Stephanie completed her nursing apprenticeship with flying colours, ready to experience her new found love for life, she hunted for jobs around the country, and found a school nurse vacancy in a town a couple of states over in Colorado. She applied - and the next thing she knew she was moving to Wickery Falls. Stephanie packed all of her belongings into a couple of bags, whilst her mother was out at work, and left their house, and her sheltered life in the past, where she felt it belonged.
Stephanie has spent the past seven years in Wickery Falls, with no contact with anyone from her past life. She finally could do the things she wanted to do, when she wanted, and managed to find a love for her job, although it was never what she really wanted, she made it work.Â
P E R S O N A L I T Y
Impatient
Stephanie had lost her entire childhood and now feels like she has to make back all her lost time, so she does NOT have the patience to be waiting around - especially for people. If she feels like she is wasting her time by socialising or being anywhere near people she will happily drop them. If she gives you a time, she would expect you to be five minutes early.Â
Provocativeness
Stephanieâs wasted youth had her yearning after one thing that she knew she had missed out on... and that was the touch of other human beings. If she could find herself in a situation where all eyes would be on her, she would take it. The shortest dresses, the brightest lipstick, and the designer outfits. Anything to make people swoon at her feet, just so she could have her fun. The thought of being tied down to one person just doesnât appeal - theyâd have to really knock her socks off.
Humorous
Through it all though, Stephanie still knew how to have a laugh, she took pride in knowing that she could make people happy. She spent her whole life trying to make her mother happy so that was all she knew... making people happy, through her sense of humour. Even if she has to knock herself to get a laugh, the joy she receives from a smile outweighs all her emotions.
Wanted Connections !!

6 Real Life Superhero Origin Stories from Our Community!
âI wanna be a strong princess, like Wonder Woman!â
âI wanna be able to run really fast, like the Flash!â
âI wanna climb all the monkey bars like Tarzan! â
âI should lose a few pounds off my love handles.â
One of these things is not like the othersâŠ
When weâre little kids, we swing from monkey bars and run up multiple flights of stairs and climb trees and chase imaginary bad guys and crawl through mud and we love every second of it.
We try new things because they seem fun (and nobody is telling us that we canât). Or, we try new things specifically because weâre told we canât!
We never once think âoh I wonder if my body is capable of such a thingâŠ.â We just DO. We fall down and pick ourselves back up and laugh it off and each day learn more and more about how we interact with the world around us. Itâs awesome. And fun.But thenâŠover the next 15-20 years, life happens.
Schoolwork. A job. Chores. Bills. Mortgage. Responsibilities. Kids! Late nights at the office. More and more meals from a drive through window.
As our responsibilities (and the scale) goes higher and higher, we set our sights lower and lower:
Instead of wanting to run fast like the Flash, we just want to not get winded going up the stairs.
Instead of being strong like Wonder Woman, we just want to not be sore after donât want our arms to hurt from carrying in the groceries.
Instead of swinging like Tarzan, we avoid activities that are new because we donât think we can, and we donât want to look foolish.
Instead of wanting to climb mountain or run a 5k, we instead set the goal of âwinning a solo Fortnite battleâ or getting more instagram followers because the first goal seems entirely unrealistic.
Itâs no wonder our expectations continue to wither as we age: growing up can suck. Sure we had dreams and goals and hobbies as a kid, but now that weâre adults, our goal has been minimized into a single sentence:
âLose weight and donât hate what I see in the mirror.â
Brutal? Yup.
Honest? Yup.
And thatâs okay.
Not liking what I saw in the mirror is why I started exercising, and the reason I started Nerd Fitness 10 years ago. After all, wanting to look better and feel better is a powerful motivator, and that usually involves weight loss.
All of these thoughts above sprung from a conversation I had recently with our head of Coaching, Lauren â who Iâve known for like 13 years and I was a bridesboy (you heard me) in her wedding, but thatâs besides the point.
I asked her about success stories weâve had from people who have been in our NF Coaching program for 6, 9, or 12+ months and actually kept the weight off, and I started to see a pattern:
They all set out to lose weight as an initial goal, and many of them DID lose weight.
But a recent study showed: âThe chance of returning to a normal weight after becoming obese is only one in 210 for men and one in 124 for women over a year.â [1]
So what was different with these clients?
Why are they having success with losing weight and KEEPING it off!?
Although they all succeeded in their own unique way, they did have a common element to each of their origin stories:
It started weight weight loss, but as they started to lose the weight, they got back to trying new activities they could do and feel as a result of that weight loss:
Doing pull-ups.
Going on hikes.
Getting back to martial arts.
Dunking a basketball (video proof below)!
In other words, these people reclaimed a childhood sense of joy and wonder that comes from asking âwhat can I try to learn today?â and âwhat can I do today that I couldnât do yesterday?â
And in many instances, they all had activities they thought they could NEVER do. And six months later, they had already done it and were setting even bigger goals!
Youâre damn straight Iâm proud these people are all coaching clients of Nerd Fitness, but I donât care if you ever spend a dollar with us.
I want you to learn from their stories and remind yourself WHY youâre here working hard to better yourself!
If you can shift your mentality from âwhen I lose the weight, then Iâm doneâ to âIâve been building this new body, what is it capable of? Letâs find out,â thatâs how you find long term, permanently improved healthy success.
And thatâs when you become a superhero.
Mark loses 50 pounds and Falls in love with Gymnastic Rings.
No, Mark isnât levitating in that second photo, heâs jumping rope.
But damn that would be really cool if he discovered his hidden superpower was levitation.
In his words, hereâs how Markâs mentality shifted over the past 6 months and 50 pounds of weight loss:
âSuccess to me was just about losing weight when I started. I also wanted to get to a place where just standing wasnât painful. I joined the Coaching program because I needed to be held accountable, to make sure I didnât lose momentum and slip back into my bad habits.
Since I started losing weight (now down 50 pounds and showing no signs of slowing down), there are so many things Iâm capable of now: Deadlifting over 200 lbs (90kg), farmer walks of 80 pounds (36kg), PUSH UPS!
I NEVER thought I would be so consistent in going to the gym and eating healthy food. Iâm also really enjoying using the gymnastic rings in my workouts.
They add so much variety to workouts, which brings new challenges all the time and keeps things interesting.â
Narayan lost 50 pounds and Now crushes pull-ups
Narayan has overcome some mental hang-ups heâs had since a kid about both the gym and exercise. It only took 44 years, but itâs ALWAYS better late than never.
In his words, success to him started with weight loss:Â
âI was really into the Nerd Fitness Academy and had great success with it, but I knew I needed something extra and additional 1-on-1 help to maintain my weight loss and get stronger.
I was thinking of hiring a trainer in my local area but I loved Nerd Fitness and wanted to stay active with that community. So I was really excited when I learned about the coaching program.
I have very vivid memories in grade school and on up of never being able to do a chin up.
I just sort of assumed it was something I was not capable of, like running a 4 minute mile.
And yet, after a few weeks in the Coaching program, I was able to do my first chin up with decent form.
It was exhilarating.
I was 49 years old and doing something I never thought I could do. When I got home from the gym that night I thought maybe I should keep working and try to do 5 chin ups in a row.
Coach Jim reviewed my videos of gave me some tips and was very encouraging.
Eventually I was able to do 5 chin ups in a row in 2 sets!â
And now Narayan LOVES the gym. How the HELL did that happen!?
âAnother mental hurdle I overcame: I never imagined myself as a regular visitor to the gym. Ever.
I thought that was for other people who had the physiques of bodybuilders. Now I go 3 times week and itâs something I really look forward to.
I was invited this week to go out for Happy Hour but it was when I had planned on going to the gym so I declined the invite. I didnât really reflect on it until the next morning when I realized that was something I never would have done just a few months ago.
There are definitely times where I am not feeling it but I go to workout anyway just because it is so ingrained. I have never left the gym regretting that I went.â
Heather earns her black belt And inspires her teenage sons.
When Heather started her heroâs journey, she wasnât even sure what success looked like:
âI really liked the idea of being a person who makes good choices when nutritionally and rarely misses a gym day. And getting in shape would help with that.
I grew up here in the South and now Iâm raising boys here: Itâs pretty old fashioned in a lot of ways and gender roles are a few decades behind.
Itâs important to me that my kids see women as strong and capable all by themselves and that women have every right to be where they damned well please: the weight room, or the office, or the home, or in the great outdoors.â
Like many superheroes, Heather has learned to embrace the great responsibility that comes with her great superpowers, inspiring those around her:Â
âI get to be a role model to all the girls where I teach karate.
Iâm the only female instructor at our location and I want those girls to see a grown woman who can be a black belt and be strong. Itâs also a good lesson for mouthy teenaged boys from time to time. The best compliment ever was when one of my teenage boys said that he joins me at the gym because he wants to be strong like his mom.â
And sheâs still uncovering more super powers every week:
âWhat superpowers have I discovered? Hitting a 200 lb. deadlift is up there. Chin up progress â itâs slower than I had hoped, but there was also a part of me that never thought Iâd get this close.â
Oh, and sheâs proven the adage âappearance is a consequence of fitness:â
âHereâs a interesting side effect I hadnât even considered until it happened: buying a size Medium shirt AND wearing it in public without feeling self conscious.â
Chris lost 50+ pounds and can now dunk a basketball!
Chris came to the program with a vague goal of wanting to dunk a basketball but wasnât quite sure how to get there. He was a big guy and moving around that much weight makes many bodyweight achievements difficult:
âWhen I joined coaching, success was achieving my specific goals that I was unable to achieve by myself (one chin-up, one pull-up, and dunk a basketball which I hadnât been able to do since high school). If I could meet those goals, then I would consider coaching a success.â
As he started losing weight, his vague dreams became concrete realities:
âI am now capable of doing a chin-up and a pull-up. Honestly, I never thought I would reach it, even when I was a teenager I couldnât do a chin-up or a pull-up. Now I can. I love that I can.
Oh, and now I can dunk a basketball:
As he lost the weight, Chrisâs mentality changed about prioritizing his own development as a real life superhero:
âI love taking the time to work on myself. With having a wife, kids, family, work, etc. itâs hard to take the time to work on yourself. It is awesome to set personalized goals that I wanted and work with my coach to get there.â
Henry Completes a Tough Mudder Like a Badass
Henry started out wanting to actually enjoy the outdoors, something he didnât do at all at the beginning:
âFor me success was just the ability to be more active and have fun outside without getting too winded very easily. The goal was to obviously lose weight which I have done, and Iâm comfortable with where Iâm at right now.
Iâm more active and far more knowledgeable about what I put in my body.â
He then discovered something interesting about himself through the journey:
âI never thought I would be capable of managing my diet so well in terms of what I ate, when I ate, and how much I ate.
I have a self discipline I never knew I had, especially when it comes to eating out and not giving in to every single craving.
What makes me so happy: Henry discovered a mental fortitude and confidence inside himself that that led to one of the most difficult obstacle races out there:
âI never ever thought I would be capable of doing an event such as the Tough Mudder but I did it and saying it was awesome is pretty much an understatement and now I want to do more OCRs. What a feeling!â
Sandra Summited Kilimanjaro
Sandra spent months building her new superhero physique and then set out to conquer one of the tallest mountains in the world, Kilimanjaro!
It started with overcoming some mental hurdles too:
âI had been working my way through the NF Academy bodyweight workouts for about 5 months. I was pretty consistent about doing the body weight work outs 3 days a week.
As for my goals, my expectations were low: I thought being able to do more than a couple of push ups with good form and not on my knees was great. My pie in the sky goal was an unassisted chin up.
The problem was that I was afraid to start REALLY strength training: I had a squat rack still in boxes in my garage for someday. I wanted to learn to lift, eventually, but had no idea where to start. I had been in coaching for 6 months, gotten a lot stronger and more confident, before I actually told my coach about this! She helped me overcome that fear, finally build the rack, and get started.â
As she became more confident, she started setting her sights on a goal that still seemed far fetched but plausible: summiting Mount Kilimanjaro:
âI like to challenge myself to big things when I am in the mood to try to get myself out of whatever rut I invariably find myself when I take stock after going through weeks, months, years of default living. Years ago, I biked 100 miles, and ran a marathon.
Then life happened, and I was back to being VERY sedentary and just trying to get through the day.
Over my time with Nerd Fitness, Kilimanjaro became less and less âoutrageousâ and more âpossible.â I believed I could do it because at the time I signed up I had been consistently training for a year I had seen myself become a lot stronger and I knew I could continue to be consistent.
I looked at the recommended training schedule and it was stuff that I could already do, just more of it. I also knew that my awesome coach (Staci!) would help me work it into the training I was already doing and it was a goal we could reach together.â
3 Lessons you Can Learn from These Real Life SuperHeroes.
#1 YOUâRE CAPABLE OF MORE THAN YOU REALIZE
Whatever got you here to Nerd Fitness and this article, GREAT!
Weight loss as a goal is a fantastic place to start.
Now, whatâs going to help you succeed and stay successful is having a good reason why youâre doing all of this.
Every success story above features people who end up doing wayyyy more than they ever thought they could. From dunking basketballs to completing Tough Mudders and even climbing mountains.
Some of these goals were unexpected, or seemed so far off that they didnât even seem realistic for the people above. But with each tiny victory, a small amount of confidence and momentum gets built.
And amazing things can happen.
I promise you, regardless of your thoughts on exercise or certain activities right NOW, if you can stick with this journey you will be capable of amazing things.
The weight loss is a goal, but itâs what you get to DO with your new body after the weight loss that will drive permanent progress.
#2 QUESTION YOUR ASSUMPTIONS
Narayan thought that gyms were just for bodybuilders and not people like him. Then he got over his insecurities, acknowledged how to make the gym work for him, and now says no to happy hours to make sure he doesnât miss his workouts
Heather loves martial arts and is teaching young women that they can be strong badasses.
Mark fell in love with gymnastic rings and deadlifts.
When you build a frame thatâs capable of anything, it gives you a chance to try everything!
You no longer have to say no due to your size or lack of fitness: you get to say âyesâ and try new activities.
Itâs time to question the long held beliefs you had as a kid about exercise. Or the self-imposed limitations youâve put on yourself for the past decade.
Go back and reread the words of these super heroes. Every single one of them has a thing that they ânever ever thoughtâ they could do.
And 6 months later, they blew past that limitation and had to set new goals!
Once you start doing things you never thought you were capable of, this attitude becomes contagious and you start to question every other assumption in your life too.
#3 ENJOY YOUR HEROâS JOURNEY
Our goal with Nerd Fitness is to not help you lose weight as fast as possible.
Our goal is to get you healthy and happy in a sustainable way, and make sure you have fun along the way.
Thatâs the ONLY way this progress you make will stick.
I have no doubt every story above will succeed in the long term, because they have the right mentality: itâs about more than just a number on a scale for each of them.
These 6 superheroes know they donât get to be done, and they never get to go back to how they used to live. And none of them would WANT to.
For the first time in a long time, they have come back to life.
Ben Franklin said it best: Most people die at 25, but arenât buried until 75.
As the heroes above started to lose weight, they started exploring and asking the question âwhat am I capable of?â They picked activities that seemed challenging and exciting, not just because it would shred another pound of body fat.
Counterintuitively, by focusing on getting better at these activities, it actually helped them lose more weight and do so in a sustainable fashion. WIN.
 Success looks different to every single person
 You canât get where you need to go if you donât take that first step, so why not take your first step today?
Make ONE healthier food decision (itâs 90% of the battle)
Try our beginner bodyweight workout (you can do at home)
Go for a walk. Just 10 minutes. Right now.
Iâm proud to be able to share these stories, because they show you can be any size, be any age, fall in love with any type of activity, and become a superhero in a way that brings you to life.
Every superhero has a different superpower, and thatâs what makes them interesting. They also have insecurities and flaws and obstacles to overcome, and thatâs what makes them relatable.
Above, we have 6 real life superheroes from all walks of life, who have found a path to their own superpower that fits THEIR life.
Some people love the gym, while others will never set foot in one. Thatâs great.
Weâre all on a journey, just like the six people above, and we are all writing our own story. OWN IT.
Yes, Iâm proud to share that these are stories from our 1-on-1 coaching program, but theyâre also people who live and breathe the Nerd Fitness lifestyle:
Having fun.
Developing functional strength.
Trying and finding new activities.
I know how tough it is to figure this stuff out on your own (Iâve actually had my own online coach for the past 4 years!), and itâs tough trying to figure out which activities to try (or how to start!).
Thatâs where a coaching program can really come in handy.
We speak on the phone with every potential client to learn their story and make sure weâre a great fit for each other, and you can schedule your call by clicking on the image below!
Regardless of whether or not you check out the program, I want Nerd Fitness to be the community that helps you realize:
Youâre capable of more than you realize.
Trying new things is amazing.
If you donât get to be done, you gotta enjoy the journey.
Iâd love to hear from you below:
Whatâs something you currently think youâd NEVER be able to do, but it would be cool if you could?
What does success mean for you BESIDES just weight loss?
I canât wait to hear your answers!
-Steve
PS: I remember talking to Narayan (the 2nd story above) back in January when he called to learn about the Coaching Program. It was really fun to hear his story and it makes me so damn happy to be able to share his story in this article.
If youâre looking to build your own heroâs journey, want to learn how to become a real life superhero, Iâd be honored if you scheduled a free call with us to see if our coaching program is a good fit to help you reach those goals!
