herstory

minimal details + many subject to change re: damla's childhood bc i have yet to plot with the other sibbys but!

she is red creek born and raised, something of a tennis prodigy too. picked up the sport at 10, started playing local tournaments by 12, and by 15, she was dominating the state circuit. got scouted at a regional match and landed a scholarship to a prestigious tennis academy at 16, which meant leaving home with everyone assuming she'd go pro. damla had other plans though. she was a total nerd and not only excelled in school but valued it greatly, so she chose college instead. she studied environmental science while competing in amateur and semi-pro tournaments to keep her ranking.

sophomore year of college comes and enters damien sloan!! 27 year old high-powered, absolute slimeball of a businessman who she met through a high-profile tournament he sponsored. he pursued her relentlessly (think flowers, advice, and lots of promises about turning her into the next sharapova). she wasn’t interested at first—too busy, honestly—but eventually, his connections and the glamorous life he offered won her over. they started dating during her junior year, and with his encouragement, she left school to go pro. from 20 to 25, damla’s career skyrocketed. she cracked the top 50 globally, and damien, now her manager, helped craft her image as the “small-town girl with big dreams,” scoring her tons of sponsorships.

then she gets KNOCKE D UP. the timing was less than ideal because she was at the height of her career but she had the kid anyways! much to damien's chagrin, by the way. he pressured her to return to tennis quickly to maintain all of her sponsorship deals despite how she was struggling with post-partum. but nevermind damien! damla loves tennis and she wants this! and when damla puts her mind to something, it's only a matter of time.

in this case? it's eleven months after giving birth that she's back on the court again. her performance is shaky, but it gets better with time. that is until she sustained a particularly bad shoulder injury at 27. it forced her to step away indefinitely to recover, which she worked tirelessly to try to do but, a year later and it became clear that, even if she did, it wouldn't be near the previous level of performance. her sponsors withdrew, and she officially announced her retirement shortly after.

by then, her marriage had all but crumbled. a messy, messy divorce ensued but she walked away with full custody of her daughter and a significant settlement. so, at 29, she returns to her small hometown with her daughter in tow. mainly because a good chunk of her family's there. now she works as a landscaper & teaches peewee tennis on the side.

personality

brutally honest & independent to a fault! she does not tolerate inefficiency and runs that damn lake like it's the navy SNJJDNSKS. okay no but seriously, she presents herself as very tough as nails, no-nonsense kind of gal because she is! very much a "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself" kind of girl. maybe it comes with the territory of being 2nd oldest of 4/eldest daughter but yeah .. highly practical, PROTECTIVE, very determined, and incredibly dependable in a pinch. like yeah she's gonna bail you out but the lecture you'll get on the way back home (and for the rest of your life) will honestly be a worse fate

keeps to herself and likes it that way. or she's learned to, over the years. she does Not sugarcoat her personality, including her very dry humor and smart mouth that people do not usually take kindly to

has had a temperamental streak in the past, during games especially. there are an endless amount of clips of her smashing the FUCK out of a racket and getting into verbal fights with the umpire and/or her opponents. flipping them off, etc, very classy stuff. but now when she's feeling like that, she just touches grass literally or makes another appointment with her therapist. we love a self-regulated queen (she's trying to be better for her daughter)

luuuuuvs nature & anything outdoorsy but she's partial to hiking, camping, and gardening. i think i can see her woodworking too. anyway, the first thing she did with her divorce money was take defne on a roadtrip to see all the national parks yup yup yup

wanted plots

friends of all kinds! friends who are fellow parents, friends from her time at college, her hometown friends who are also from red creek, people she may have met while playing tournaments in different cities or attending hoity-toity events as ex-husband's arm candy, etc

or the reverse where our muses met one of however many ways i listed above and damla just completely bulldozed through any potential for a friendly connection there FNJDJNJS

i fear she would not even attempt at romance now but an fwb would be nice! or if they had something before she moved away for tennis and are rekindling things againnn

neighbors who also live on norwood street!

babysittersssss, she's always in need

book club members pleathe.............. or like people she does game nights with, i feel like she'd play a terrifyingly competitive game of catan

"you're always hanging out by the lake when i'm working and you're very annoying and i let out a big dramatic sigh when i see you" or the reverse

that's all my little brain can come up with for now
