chicago’s very own pearl buchanan has been spotted on madison avenue driving a bugatti chiron, welcome ! your resemblance to sydney sweeney is unreal . according to tmz , you just had your twenty-second birthday bash  . your chance of surviving new york is uncertain because you’re credulous , but being ebullient might help you . i think being a libra explains that .  3 things that would paint  a  better picture of you would be rose-colored blush on the tip of your nose, crumpled-up love letters, soft smiles paired with tired eyes . ( i slept with my ex-husband’s assistant ) & ( cis female + she/her  ) 

tw substance abuse and drinking mention 

of first off .... hi. my name is barb and i am super excited to be here with y’all !!!  i’m coming to y’all all the way from the cst and i use she/her , they/them pronouns so whatever works. pearl is v new , never to be played before tho i did kinda just steal bits and pieces from old oc’s to make her shh. if you’d like to plot , please just give this a like or im me !

unlike most of her peers around ny , pearl comes from a very middle class family. you know , nothing too extravagant but well-off. her and her older sister , jett , were raised by their mother who was a well-known dermatologist in the area. their father was a college professor who paid a good amount of child support , so they were pretty much financially fine. 

nothing was really out of the ordinary as pearl grew up. she got a great education , played sports , did ballet , and was an overall good daughter/sister. nothing to see here !!!

when she was 18 , her sister got married to one of your run-of-the-mill wall street guys. that’s where pearl met flip. idk why that’s his name but it just is. flip was a big figure in the movie industry , a director to some of the upcoming big hits. since he was best man to the groom and pearl was maid of honor , they naturally just started talking. talking led to lots of things and then bam , they were a thing. 

after nine months of going back and forth from chicago to new york , flip proposed. she of course said yes and moved out to new york permanently to live with him. 

their marriage was amazing. however , amazing became miserable once things started getting comfortable. he was never home and when he was , they were fighting about everything and nothing. to deal with their constant fighting and being alone most of the time , she’d drink like a fish and sneak small quantities of whatever substances were in her husband’s “stash” in his bed-stand drawer. 

one night , out of pure spite and needy affection , she called up her husband’s assistant to their penthouse when he was out with the boys and uhhhhh slept with her !  simple as that. that was the first and last time she’d ever done something like that to flip , but it didn’t matter since he served her about a week later. she feared his assistant had told him about it , but he simply was just tired of fighting with pearl. 

the process was going by swimmingly , but it came to a screeching halt once pearl was told that there was a prenup. she had never signed one , but she had no proof to back it up. that meant that he got to keep everything and she’d be packing her bags back to her mom’s house in chicago. so , like any pampered brat would do , she played the victim card. told her lawyer that he had used all the money to her name to buy drugs , prostitutes , and whatever his heart so desired. it wasn’t true , but the small box of drugs they found by his bedstand was enough evidence for the law to be on her side. so , she was granted alimony. it was enough to keep her in new york comfortably and then some. 

as soon as his assistant had found out about the alimony checks  , she threatened to tell flip about her and pearl’s slip-up. he could tell and she could possibly lose her stream of income , so now she pays her off for her silence. and yeah , that’s life babey !

as for her personality , idk , she acts like your stereotypical girl next door. she’s nice , caring , generous , and overall a good person if asked. she has her flaws like , she’s naive , stubborn , melodramatic , and has became severely spoiled since moving out here. i don’t really want to stick her to certain traits since i want to flesh her out and see how she becomes through development , but that’s a nice little outline for her as of now. 

connections-wise , just fuck me up. i love fluff and i love pain. i am truly open to anything and everything. 

TLDR: pearl buchanan was your average girl next door who married a famous director. the two had a fast failing marriage and she cheated on him with his assistant. they eventually ended up getting a divorce for different reasons and he falsified her signature on a prenup. she told the court a lie and now he pays her alimony , which she gives some of it to his assistant in exchange for her silence.
