background.

you’re  not  a  miracle;   you’re  barely  a  statistic.     pink  fruit  from  a  round  womb.     grown  at  a  hill’s  crest,   a  strand  of  wet  grass  below  the  peach  tree,   overlooking  a  herd  of  sun-dried  cows.     no  one  would  notice  your  cotton  cradle.     no  one  but  the  stars.     and  your  mother’s  eyes  do  not  glisten  upon  watching  your  first  blink.     nor  your  first  day  at  school.     nor  your  first  ballet  recital.     without  a  picture,   you  wouldn’t  even  know  she  was  there.     you  forget  her  youth   ––   in  your  wet  baby-toothed  way   ––   for  there’s  nothing  to  chew  from  her.     bent  from  its  frame,   your  memory  holds  a  father’s  smile,   and  his  heavy  hand  upon  your  lithe  shoulder.

the  eve  of  your  fourteenth  birthday,   your  mother  cups  your  jaw  in  both  hands.     splayed  fingers  brush  against  your  slow  pulse.     your  breath  dampens  her  skin.     you  feel  it,   now,   more  than  she  did.     her  warmth  spilled  across  your  neck  like  air-thickened  blood.     this  is  before  the  second  step-mother,   right  at  the  precipice  of  your  first.     watch  him  for  me,   your  mother  says,   watch  him  at  night  for  me.     for  me.     almost  too  easy,   your  mother  would  say.     a  simple  kiss  at  their  temple,   and  a  child  remembers  their  mother.     quiet  malice,   salted  to  taste,   by  your  father  forgetting  to  call  you  his  favourite  girl.     and  there,   the  axe  earns  its  first  swing.

flesh  is  sweet  and  bought  hostility  is  sweeter.     levied  by  her  parents,   held  like  a  serrated  knife.     where  love  should  be  milk-bathed  and  pat  dry,   your  definition  curdles  into  a  tight  smile.     rehearsed  in  the  dark  mirror  of  another’s  pupil.     by  your  twenties,   you  reach  a  third  step-mother.     and  yet,   there  is  only  one  that  you  call  father.     the  game  loses  its  fresh  scent   –   stale  like  wrinkled,   doughy  hands   –   and  your  teeth  grow  sturdy.     their  quiet  plea  for  your  return  wafts  close  to  your  ear,   like  the  sound  of  crashing  water  from  a  seashell  as  the  sea  rolls  against  your  feet.

Billy has been troubled since childhood, largely due to a terrible homelife. He had been in and out of trouble since elementary school, with things only progressing as he got older. Ultimately, this resulted in Billy killing his stepfather when he was 16 years old after his stepfather had been beating his mother.

Billy was sentenced for 2nd Degree Murder and served 17 years before he was released.

full  name  :  lee  sook  yee.    age  :  twenty  seven.    date  of  birth  :  august  10th,  1997.    place  of  birth  :  brooklyn,  new  york.    also  known  as  :  suki.    epithet  :  the  on  the  lam  rockstar.    gender  &  pronouns  :  demi  woman  &  she  or  they.    orientation  :  bisexual  demiromantic.    occupation  :  mechanic  at  the  garage.  presently  on  the  run  from  the  authorities  for  participating  in  illegal  car  racing  and  the  buying  and  selling  of  stolen  car  parts,  among  other  things.    parents  :  lee  fook  yee  &  rose  harrison.    siblings  :  none.    partner(s)  :  single.    children  :  none.

introduction    ⸻  

it  began  as  a  hobby. suki  had  been  thirteen,  on  the  cusp  of  puberty  and  her  main  enemy  (  besides  her  crippling  anxiety  and  body  dysmorphia  )  had  been  her  father.  lee  fook  yee  was  the  very  image  of  the  american  dream  ─  an  immigrant  from  singapore,  he  had  started  up  his  practice  in  the  late  80s  and  achieved  unprecedent  success  in  their  little  borough  in  new  york.  there  had  been  struggles,  of  course,  but  none  that  he  wished  to  share  with  his  impressionable  young  daughter.  perhaps,  if  he  had,  suki  would  have  been  able  to  sympathize  with  him  more,  but  as  it  stood,  their  father  was  a  drill  sergeant  in  their  eyes  and  anything  that  unsettled  him  only  served  to  entice  them.   auto  body  work  was  not  the  purpose  of  high  school  shop,  but  as  long  as  she  cleaned  up  after  herself,  no  one  really  cared  what  she  did  after  school  hours  and  her  talent  for  painting  (  cars  and  other  things,  as  the  local  police  force  would  report,  grabbing  her  from  where  she  had  just  spray  painted  another  wall  )  caught  the  eye  of  the  resident  autobody  shop,  who  offered  her  a  part - time  gig  working  for  them.  their  father  had  been  against  it,  wanting  them  to  focus  on  school,  which  was  probably  why  suki  (  who  had  long  since  shed  their  given  name  of  sook  yee  for  something  more  american  )  had  accepted  it  in  the  first  place. whatever  concerns  he  had  proved  to  be  correct,  however,  as  she  dropped  out  of  school  just  a  few  weeks  before  graduation  to  run  a  six - car  gig  for  the  shop  to  texas.  he  had  left  them  a  voice  message  on  the  morning  of  their  graduation,  telling  them  never  to  come  back  and  suki,  taking  it  as  a  challenge,  left  brooklyn  for  good.  at  first,  her  jobs  were  mostly  innocent  and  legitimate,  but  being  alone  at  eighteen  was  more  difficult  than  the  movies  made  it  out  to  be,  and  it  wasn't  long  before  she  was  running  somewhat  illegal  transportation  deals  for  the  boss,  racing  souped  up  cars  on  the  side  for  a  handful  of  dollars  that  barely  kept  her  fed  on  most  months. they  were  twenty  one  when  they  stole  their  first  car  ─  it  was  a  pretty  thing,  foreign  with  an  engine  that  purred  like  a  contented  cat  with  just  a  flick  of  the  wrist.  suki  learned  that  real  money  was  made  with  flipped  vehicles  sold  to  flashy  up - and - comers  across  the  border  and  demanded  in  on  the  job,  running  parts  across  north  america  for  the  next  six  years  until  a  slip  up  saw  her  nearly  caught  by  the  authorities.  iced  out  and  sent  to  canada  to  cool  off  until  the  heat  died  down,  suki  threw  a  dart  at  the  map  and  went  to  the  place  it  landed  on  ─  cloyne,  ontario,  unaware  that  her  arrival  would  soon  be  followed  by  two  murders  and  a  town  that  now  looks  at  her  with  increasing  suspicion.

( ty, 25, they/them, cst ) WARNINGS FOR : neglect, bullying, assault, and animal death

FULL NAME : eugenia o’neil.

NICKNAME : genie.

AGE :  twenty5.

DATE OF BIRTH :  2/20/1999.

PLACE OF BIRTH : cloyne, ontario.

ETHNICITY : caucasian.

GENDER : cis woman.

PRONOUNS : she/her.

SEXUAL ORIENTATION : bisexual.

ROMANTIC ORIENTATION : biromantic.

RELIGION : catholic.

OCCUPATION :  vet tech.

EDUCATION LEVEL :  associates in veterinary technology.

LIVING ARRANGEMENTS : mobile home, with her mother and father.

FINANCIAL STATUS : lower class.

SPOKEN LANGUAGES : english.

FACECLAIM :  angela bettis.

CLOTHING STYLE :  homemade and mended clothes, particularly long maxi skirts and patterned blouses

DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTICS : amblyopia in her left eye, corrected with glasses.

eugenia was born kicking and screaming in a trailer on the outskirts of town. her parents were like a nuclear reaction—bad for each other in the best possible way. her mother was sickly and her father was something of a free spirit, so by the time she was old enough to be trusted around an open flame she was practically raising herself. she’d come to school reeking of cat piss and cigarettes, teeth yellow and marred with cavities and fractures. the children around her had a tendency to be quite wicked and unrelenting, whenever they had an opportunity to make a mockery out of the young eugenia they would take it in spades. she was spat on, stolen from, sneered at. at first, it didn’t bother her. she spent most of her time the school library reading anything she could find about pets and barn animals, oblivious of what was to come.

she was passionate about mammalian life from an incredibly young age. sometimes it would be all she could think about. her teachers picked up on this and oftentimes she was the one responsible for caring for the class pets on the weekends. as it turns out, her peers at school took notice of this habit as well. as always, they had a plan in place for turning her life into a living nightmare. one friday, as school was letting out for the day, eugenia turned her back on the class guinea pigs for one second before a group of boys ran off with them. she woke up the next morning to the sight of them lifeless on her front doorstep. one weekend was all it took for her to go from being teased and jeered at to being feared, with everyone looking at her like the blood was still on her hands.

animal killer is the type of reputation that sticks throughout one’s adolescence. even the people who would pity her before looked at her with a tinge of disgust. still, she stayed afloat, trying her best to pass her classes and obsessing over boys she knew would never give her the time of day. any semblance of normalcy came to a halt when in her junior year of high school another group of kids followed her home to pick on her. they threw stones, torn ketchup packets, and rotten food at her. to them, it was vigilante justice. to her, it was her final straw. she still remembers how it felt to dig her nails beneath the skin of the ringleader—leaving five twin gashes across the length of his face. it was the only time she ever submitted to violence, the only time she refused to turn the other cheek, but the family still pressed charges.

eugenia was forced to grow up quickly that summer. after months of being paraded through courts and juvenile detention centers, she tried her damnedest to run from the events of her past. she went to school online, found a career that she loved, and managed to support her mother through her illness. she’d later realize that this was something of a calm before the storm. that moment ended when the police department came knocking on her door, asking her about her connections to damien costello. one of the names she’d never be able to forget, a boy that tormented her through school and a witness to her brutal attack on their ringleader. there wasn’t much the police could do, considering their lack of physical evidence—but cloyne is a town that talks. once again, she began to notice sideways glances in her direction, unmarked vehicles outside of her trailer park, and policemen talking to the only people who give her the time of day. she hopes that somehow she’ll be able to prove her innocence, that she could escape this with some shred of dignity left, but with her track record? she might not be so lucky.

moonlight filtering through closed blinds, casting soft shadows across a room. candlelight flickering in the quiet of a dimly lit space. late-night walks through deserted streets. the frost prickling on skin. oversized sweaters and messy hair, and the faint smell of jasmine and sandalwood-- her signature scent, lingering in the room. a haunting playlist reflecting the turmoil of her world. journal pages filled with half-written thoughts and unshared dreams. she is incomplete.

tw: drugs?

Rumours followed him like bees to honey. SeonHo never knew what a life without whispers following even his shadow was like.

‘He ate my snack’ the kids said in elementary school, “he beat me up in the alley” his high school classmates accused him to the teacher, “the bastard stole my girlfriend” was written in the urinals of the university.

He denied all charges against him until security cameras recorded how 80% of what he was accused of was real (the other 20% was a blind spot). His mother was just grateful that no crime brought him to the sheriff's office. Mrs. Han didn't know about his misdeeds in the next town, and hopefully it will stay that way.

Seon had the gift of the gab and the smile to back him up. He liked to think he had everything and everyone in the palm of his hand until expired medicines began to disappear from the warehouse into his work. He denied it was him, cameras caught him red-handed but he denied it to the point where his boss believed his words and not the footage. The sheriff heard rumors, as always, but no 911 call was made. After the incident, he thought himself untouchable.

IV. 𝐖𝐀𝐍𝐓𝐄𝐃 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍

Family — Friends — People he bullied during school years — Someone who holds a big grudge against him — Love perhaps? — Clients for his expired meds business.

⸻   TIDBITS

the slater lineage has resided in cloyne since the dawn of time, or so it seems, and their name has a reputation attached. her entire family is made up of drug chefs 🤌 their specialty? crystal meth. they had a whole lab built into the basement of their old farm home. out of her parents, siblings, and extended family, she was the only one who did not partake in these criminal activities ( or so the record shows ... the rumor mill still be buzzin' ) .

each member of her family has some sort of petty criminal record, mainly regarding the redneck-esque drug empire. she, however, has managed to keep a clean slate due to being perceived as an innocent when the whole operation went up in flames a decade prior. despite the tarnished name, she adores her family and frequently writes to each and every one of them ( most of whom are still serving their sentence ) .

since the farmhouse was obviously seized, she resides in a trailer which appears pretty ... wrecked on the outside, but the inside is like every goth girly's dream; decked out in everything she loves, which mainly includes spooky and black decor.

as a child, and all through her teen years, she loved to draw. every paper assignment she handed in at school had some extravagant collection of doodles, which only improved over the years. her creative talent molded with her love of artistic expression. first, she started doodling around town, which was frowned upon ( she sometimes still does out of spite ). but then she dabbled in her own risky stick and poke tattoos, before flourishing into more elaborate designs.

she's very much in love with her job. equally loves the creative minds who wander in with their own visions, and also those who give her complete freedom to design her own personal piece(s) for them.

while her expertise lies in art, she also games in her free time, survival horror being her genre of choice, despite being utterly terrified through the entire title. by no means is she a pro, but she has her own set up and will stream single and multiplayer alike.

when she's not being a homebody, she's being forcible social. like is riddled with anxiety leading up to said social event, to the point where she needs to either take a couple shots or hits ( or both ) before leaving. you wouldn't know it, though, based on her boisterous attitude and social butterfly-esque demeanor because by the time she rolls up to wherever she was initially fretting, she's perfectly fine.

stains   of   deep   crimson   remain   in   the   confines   of   the   past,   ever   -   haunting,   every   violent.   not   knowing   the   cause   was   a   plague,   a   disease,   a   sin.   new   death,   life   still   warm   -   but   draining   from   her   dear   friend's   body   -   mutilated.   they   should   never   have   been   brave;  courage   was   her   failure.

secret   guilt   covered   by   pasted   smiles,   while   destiny's   voice   echoed   still,   a   ghost   drawn   to   her   dreams.   the   spirits   must   have   been   displeased.   we   disturbed   their   peace.   or   perhaps   peace   was   never   found   for   them   ;   not   at   the   asylum.   the   footage   disturbs   her   still,   and   yet   she   can't   seem   to   burn   it.   the   cause   still   escapes   her,   and   she   would   not   rest   until   it's   caught.

courage   was   the   fault,   bravery   the   sin,   but   she   was   a   sinner.   a   miscreant,   lawless   and   unbound.   the   thirst   for   knowledge   was   only   fueled   by   the   death   of   her   dearest   friend   ;   it   was   not   a   craving,   but   a   necessity   for   survival.   if   she   gave   up,   it   would   kill   her.   if   she   lost   hope,   she   would   crumble.   so   she   went   on,   striving,   to   the   edge   of   sanity,   for   the   truth.   failure   was   not   acceptable.

statistics

full name: noah hyunsik kim nickname(s): n/a birthdate: december 30th zodiac: capricorn

face claim: charles melton height: 6'1" eye color: brown hair color: black

gender: cis man pronouns: he/him orientation: pansexual status: in a relationship

personality

likes: social media, music (listening & producing), cooking, socializing, coffee dislikes: authority, insects, being alone, small spaces, mint flavoring

noah is a person who can't be alone too long with his thoughts, but he's getting better about it as time goes on. he's a social butterfly through and through, chatting up people while waiting in line or whenever he goes out. he's got an opinion on just about everything, after all. he can be a little draining to introverts but means no harm. also, he's quite expressive so you'll always know where you stand with him. talking behind your back? nah, he'll say it directly.

history

born and raised in san antonio, texas

(yes he has a mild accent, yes he tries to hide it)

got into music early with a cousin of his right out of high school and they became quite popular for their stupid stunts and antics, maybe even for that more than their music (especially when social media started becoming popular)

definitely the baby of the family with three older sisters who disliked the attention he got for being the only son

guy was a hoe. would jump from relationship to relationship and party to party like nobody's business

that is until about a year ago, when he had a mild midlife crises and happened to meet his now-boyfriend at the same time and went "!!! wait I like this guy in a different way and really don't want to fuck it up??"

months of pining later, it was time for noah to go back home, but he didn't want to. he confessed and it just so happened the guy liked him back, and then invited him back to cloyne where he was from. noah, the impulsive person that he is always following his gut and now his heart, went "of course!"

six months later, they're still together and noah has calmed down a lot. he doesn't party much anymore, and is a responsible business owner who actually puts in the work to keep the record store going

he still works on music at his home studio, but isn't really interested in being famous or "known" anymore now that he's more settled

connections

wanted: the more friends the merrier, frequent customers, someone with a mutual dislike, neighbors, a confidant / occasional drinking buddy?, a friend he pet sits for when they go out of town or work a lot, people who recognize him from his wild years for better or for worse

current: to be written when it's not 1 am <3

SUMMARY:

1) a first generation canadian citizen, victor was born to wealthy immigrants who had made their fortune in guatemala in real estate. they continued this success when they migrated to canada, allowing for victor to live a very comfortable life. 2) victor had an interest in politics from a very young age and already knew by the age of eight that he wanted to rise in political ranks. he attended college in toronto, moving back to cloyne after graduation so he could start his own family and career. 3) while in college, victor married a woman who was six years older. despite the bit of an age gap, the two had fallen head over heels and married quickly after meeting. they would go on to have two boys. 4) victor served on the school board for many years until deciding to run for mayor. he won the election and was now serving as the town's youngest mayor. unfortunately, it was during his first term as mayor that he began to have an affair with his younger assistant, amara morales, after years of issues between himself and his wife. 5) eventually, rumors began to spread about victor and his assistant. he naturally denied such allegations, though when he divorced his wife and married amara within a year of each other, it seemed the rumors were likely true. 6) with amara, victor has fathered a set of twins, a girl and a boy. his relationship with his oldest two sons is complicated due to the nature of the divorce, while he's an adoring, attentive father with the twins. 7) despite questionable choices in his personal life, victor has made great changes for the town of cloyne, leading to a third election win. he's still the subject of many whispers, but the votes still come in regardless of judgement. 8) power and money have gone to victor's head. there are rumors he's bribed law enforcement and others to protect friends and family members, but nobody has solid proof. 9) now that murders have begun to spring up in their small town, victor has promised the people that he and the police will do all they can to protect the people and find out who is responsible for such terrible crimes.

introduction    ⸻  

beauty  had  always  been  her  weapon  ─  as  a  child,  the  good  looks  that  she  had  inherited  from  her  mother  had  been  paired  with  a  charming  precociousness  that  often  kept  alize  out  of  serious  trouble  with  her  elders,  but  as  she  grew  older,  features  sharpening  as  the  softness  of  childhood  melted  away  with  puberty,  she  learned  to  harness  her  looks  to  get  what  she  wanted.  this  proved  especially  useful  after  the  death  of  her  parents,  when  alize  became  the  sole  breadwinner  of  their  small  family  overnight.  she  had  always  been  interested  in  beauty  pageants,  having  joined  a  few  as  a  child  before  her  father  had  decided  that  such  competitiveness  at  her  young  age  would  be  more  detrimental  than  helpful,  so  it  had  been  easy  to  slip  back  into  the  swing  of  things  as  a  fresh  graduate.   it  had  been  her  goal  to  reach  the  miss  universe  stage  and  once  that  had  been  achieved,  alize  was  granted  several  offers  around  canada  to  work  on  television  ─  becoming  a  news  anchor  was  never  the  dream  (  she  cannot  remember  if  there  ever  was  a  dream  or  if  her  sense  of  individuality  died  along  with  her  parents  )  but  it  paid  well  enough  to  keep  a  roof  over  their  heads  and  see  her  sisters  through  whatever  they  wished  to  do  with  their  lives.  moving  away  from  cloyne  had  seemed  natural,  chasing  whatever  brought  the  most  stability,  but  it  also  invited  instability  into  her  life  in  the  form  of  a  professional  boxer  that  had  been  invited  onto  set  for  an  interview. alize  had  no  time  for  distractions  but  he  proved  relentless  and  endlessly  charming,  and  their  relationship  brought  more  publicity  to  her  name  (  both  good  and  bad  ),  which  in  turn  made  her  a  hot  commodity,  allowing  her  to  graduate  from  breakfast  television  to  the  morning  show.  what  had  started  as  something  casual  grew  into  something  more  serious  ─  she  brought  him  home  to  meet  her  sisters,  an  enormous  step  for  her,  and  alize  was  almost  certain  they  would  spend  the  rest  of  their  lives  together,  with  or  without  a  piece  of  paper  and  a  couple  of  rings  to  make  it  official,  but  life,  it  seemed,  had  other  plans. she  had  been  on  air  when  news  of  his  appearance  with  another  woman  in  some  distant  european  capital  was  broadcasted  ─  her  co - anchor,  at  least,  had  the  decency  not  to  shoot  her  a  pitying  look  after  the  cameras  were  called,  but  alize  had  never  been  as  embarrassed  as  she  had  been  then.  pride,  and  no  small  amount  of  hurt,  made  her  deaf  to  his  explanations  and  after  nearly  six  years  together,  she  broke  things  off  and  returned  home,  unknowingly  with  a  child  in  her  belly.  shams  ozdemir  was  born  eight  months  after  she  came  back  to  cloyne  and  two  months  after  she  co - signed  an  agreement  that  gave  her  half  of  a  broken  record  (  a  favorite  haunt  from  her  teenhood  ),  looking  the  very  image  of  his  father,  and  alize  has  never  been  more  grateful  for  her  reticence  to  speak  of  her  hometown  and  her  sisters,  for  she  knows  no  one  from  her  past  life  will  find  them  here. returning  to  cloyne  was  meant  to  be  peaceful  ─  her  second  chance  at  a  decent  life  with  her  sisters  around  her  ─  but  with  a  lunatic  taking  inspiration  from  the  movies,  alize  is  beginning  to  wonder  if  she  was  right  in  making  such  a  hasty  decision.

BIOGRAPHY

tw: n/a

Born to teenage parents, Jonathan was the surprise neither parent wanted. His father would abandon him before he even made his debut into the world and even though his mother always meant well, being a mother at 16 wouldn't be her shining moment.

Luckily Jon had his grandparents right on the outskirts of town. First generation moved from German who had moved here to run a large farm, his non English speaking grandparents would love this child unconditionally. Helping raise the boy until he was ready to leave the nest at 18.

His mother trying to stay active in his life but wanting to have dreams for herself and moving out of the grandparents home when Jon was 5, he never held her absent days against her. Often going to stay a few days a month with her at her place. Though it wasn't until he was 15 that he met his father, James and his new son, Josh. He didn't really know how to handle the fact they had lived in the same town his whole life and never once met until now and kept them at a distance.

Growing up, Jon wouldn't excel at school in the way that was expected of him. But what he lacked in book smarts, he made up for with his athletic talent and laboring hard-work. He never shied away from learning a sport or helping out around his grandparents home. Spending his time leading the schools hockey team to victory and farming the grain fields at home to help where his grandparents couldn't.

Because of Jon's busy schedule of sports and homelife, he didn't have the social life most teenagers do. But in all honesty, he didn't really care. Jon wasn't the social type to begin with, he enjoyed keeping to himself and it became a trait that followed him into adulthood too.

Before graduating from his hometown high school, Jon would meet his future wife. A woman that he would fall head over heels for, the first woman he would ever truly love. The two of them would fall in love and marry quickly at 19. Jonathan thought that he had found bliss and a soulmate, only to be woken up from this dream by the time he was 23. Neither of them being able to agree on the life they wanted to share together, always a disagreement and always a fight. Jon packed a few things and went to stay back home with his grandparents for what was supposed to be a weekend. The weekend turned into months which turned into a year. Neither sending divorce papers, but neither reaching out to fix things.

Jonathan took the loss of his marriage and opened up the tattoo parlor with his long-time best friend and started plans to build his own dream life, starting with buying his own home in town and trying to connect with his half-brother where he hadn't put much effort in before.

( klein, 29, she/her, est )

A U R A

soft rustling of silk as she walks through her home, a mixture of grace and purpose in every step. shadows cast by flickering candlelight during late-night reading sessions, a glass of red wine untouched beside her. scent of aged wood and books in her study, a space where she finds peace amidst the chaos of her life. quiet moments after a playful argument with her husband, his words still lingering in the air as she considers what it would mean to give up teaching. sound of her children playing in the background, their laughter a reminder of the family she’s built, though she longs for more. sharp click of her heels as she leaves the school after a long day, knowing her husband would prefer her home, but feeling too attached to the life she’s created for herself. late nights curled up with a book, one hand absentmindedly resting on her stomach, thinking about the possibility of another child. classical music echoing through the house while she cooks dinner for her family, an elegant façade hiding the fear underneath.

graceful (maintains her composure in every situation). intelligent (planning ahead to stay in control of her life). compassionate (deeply cares for her husband, children, students, and those closest to her). self-controlled (rarely acts impulsively).

secretive (she guards her past carefully). mistrustful (years of hiding have made her wary of others). perfectionist (she strives for flawlessness in everything she does, mistakes could unravel her life).

R E L A T I O N S

her husband: amara calls victor "mi sol," a term of endearment that signifies the steady, grounding force he is in her life. despite their deep connection, there is ongoing tension between them.

children: her relationship with her twins is loving, and she is a dedicated mother. however, her relationship with her step-sons is more strained. they remain wary of her, knowing she was once their father’s mistress. while she tries to play the role of a nurturing stepmother, there is a distance between them, and amara senses they don’t fully trust her.

students: as a teacher at cloyne high school, amara is respected for her compassion. she’s known for being firm but fair.

reputation in cloyne: amara is known for her composure, even in the face of scandal. despite being the mayor’s wife, many in town still refer to her as “the mayor’s mistress,” a label that follows her due to the circumstances of her marriage. she’s both admired for her elegance and whispered about for her past. her reputation as a home-wrecker hasn’t faded over the years, but she carries herself with dignity, never reacting to the gossip.

public persona: amara is the epitome of grace. she dresses impeccably and speaks carefully, always conscious of how she is perceived. while the town still gossips about her past, she never gives them fuel for new rumours. she attends town events as the mayor’s wife, playing the part of the supportive spouse.

S T O R I E S U N T O L D

1988: ana maria rojas was born in havana, cuba. her father was deeply involved in organized crime. despite this, he loved his children deeply, and when his criminal ties put them at risk, he made a deal with the united states government to become an informant.

1999: by age of 11, ana maria witnessed several heinous crimes due to her father’s criminal involvement. these experiences deeply affected her, making her develop a strong aversion to messes and blood. as the danger grew, her father arranged for her to be smuggled out of cuba to miami for her safety. ana had to leave her brother behind, who was only 9 years old because he had already been pulled into the gang, which has haunted her ever since.

2003: by the time she turned 15, ana maria was placed in the witness protection program and moved to canada, under the new identity of amara morales. the increased risk to her life prompted this move.

2003 - 2012: during her years in vancouver, canada amara lived with foster parents who gave her stability, but she always carried the trauma of leaving her brother behind in cuba. she feared that the criminal organizations her father betrayed might find her, so she stayed vigilant and distant from others. the memories of the crimes she witnessed in cuba continued to shape her, causing her deep discomfort with anything bloody or messy.

2012: after the mysterious death of her foster parents, amara felt the need to leave vancouver and start fresh. she relocated to cloyne, ontario, seeking a quiet, hidden life.

2013: amara met victor cortez, the mayor of cloyne, at a time when she was desperate for stability and security. she viewed him as her safety net in a world that constantly felt unstable. that is how their scandal began. though the town gossiped and even labeled her as “the mayor’s mistress," she clung to victor, seeing him as the foundation to the new life she had always longed for.

2017: amara and victor married, and she became amara morales cortez. they had twins, and amara found some peace in motherhood. perhaps this is why she longs for another child. she wants the peace and distraction of a baby's cry. or maybe it's because the rumours the town spreads have a deeper effect on her psyche than she cares to show.

present: amara lives a life of constant vigilance, even though she outwardly seems to have it all—a family, a husband, and a career. she is haunted by memories of her brother and the crimes she witnessed, forever torn between the life she’s built and the past she’s tried to bury.

W A N T E D C O N N E C T I O N S

THE JOURNALIST – there’s a local reporter who has always been suspicious of amara's past. they’ve been quietly investigating her for years, convinced there’s more to her than just being the mayor’s wife.

THE EX-LOVER - before marrying victor, amara had a brief but intense relationship with someone in cloyne. though the affair ended, there’s still a flicker of unresolved tension whenever they see each other.

THE STEP-SON - one of victor’s adult sons still harbours deep resentment toward amara for breaking up his parents’ marriage. their interactions are cold and hostile, but there’s an underlying tension of unresolved conflict between them.

THE BEST FRIEND – amara’s closest confidante in cloyne is a fellow teacher at the high school. they bond over their shared love of history and their ability to keep each other’s secrets, providing emotional support when needed.

THE FORMER STUDENT - amara remains close to a former student who has grown up and is now friends with her step-sons. despite their friendship with her step-sons, this person maintains a special bond with amara, often turning to her for advice and guidance.

THE PARENT FRIEND – one of the other moms from her children’s school has become a casual friend. they bond over school events and playdates, providing amara with a light, friendly connection outside her family drama.
