𓂅 𐫱 ❛ regarding ; ꒰ backstory / tidbits ꒱

carly hodgins is the daughter of two people who were genuinely so in love with one another. hence, she has a healthy concept of what love should be like, and is definitely a hopeless romantic through and through.

she's always been a passionate individual, someone who was heavily encouraged to pursue her dreams by her parents. she's never not known what it was like to have a support system.

carly has many interests, she's an adventurous and open individual, constantly trying to find something new to enjoy.

leaving sacramento was not easy for her, as she's still incredibly close to her parents and is constant communication with them. however, she knew she wanted to experience different things in life, so she decided to go on her bravest adventure yet by leaving home and seeing what the world has had to offer.

despite the example set by her parents, she's yet to find any sort of meaningful romance, though not for a lack of trying. she just has not been lucky in love, which she does find to be kind of frustrating.

she's a jack of all trades of sorts. she carries many interests, and while some have evolved, she's never swayed from her love of reading.

carly has a notorious sweet tooth, she blames it on the fact that she spent every other sunday baking with her mother while growing up. she's not one to turn down a sweet, and is always open to trying a new one.

so far, she's settled in decently well to life in wilma lane. she's doing things she's never done before, and is working on gaining new experiences for herself.

carly loves all things flowers, she plans to one day start her own garden. she gets herself new flowers every couple weeks and tends to them carefully.

she's a music lover, she is someone who appreciates the art behind music and loves to dance. she's incredibly carefree when she's listening to it, and just lives in the moment.

she's known to be a rather sensitive individual, she can easily get her feelings hurt even if it wasn't the intention behind someone's words. she has a huge heart and feels everything intensely, but she's trying to work on thickening her skin a little bit.

carly is the type of person who's kind to everyone, so she has no issues when it comes to making new friends. she's accepting of those around her and, while she might've abandoned her degree in psychology, she still utilizes it and does what she can to be there for others and help them when they need it most.

𓂅 𐫱 ❛ regarding ; ꒰ wanted connections ꒱

neighbor. i'd love for her to have a friendly relationship with her neighbor. perhaps they help one another out with little things and keep each other company on the days where they're both free and have nothing else to do with their time. maybe she bakes for them and they mow her lawn or something ? i think that'd be cute.

new friend. as she's always making friends, i think it'd be fun for her to have a new friend she's getting closer to and spending more time with. maybe they get coffee / drinks together a few times a week ?

a fellow baker. while she opted for working at the book store, she genuinely does love baking, so i think it'd be nice for her to be close to another baker who shares the same passion that she does. maybe they exchange ideas for holiday - themed sweets and try to come up with new and exciting recipes or designs together.

the first friend she made in town. this would be the first person she got closest to, perhaps they gave her the grand tour and they've just remained close since. this would likely be her main confidant and someone she spends a decent chunk of time with.

a small book club with like five other people ? ( 5 / 5 available ) they get together once a week on thursday evenings and discuss their current group novel over snacks and drinks. they're pretty tight - knit and enjoy each other's company.

best friend. perhaps her best friend from sacramento moved to wilma lane shortly after she did as they also wanted a fresh start ? she'd be thrilled to have them around. ( filled. sebastian. )

general acquaintances. ( 5 / 5 available ) people she's familiar with and friendly with, but doesn't know that well, so they can't technically call one another friends just yet.

book shop regulars. ( 2 / 2 available ) these are people who frequent the full moon book shop, so they're people she sees regularly. perhaps they strike up casual conversations and ask her for recommendations on the next books to read.

crush. ideally , this would be a slow burn dynamic of sorts where they take the time to get to know one another and form a great bond.

karaoke companion. someone she can always rely on to get on stage with her at the bar and sing their hearts out together. this person could be connected with her in any other sense as well, i just love the concept of two people thoroughly enjoying singing at the bar and not caring what anyone else thinks about it.
