Biography: tw drug use, overdose

Tilly was born and raised in Reno, NV. With her mother as a principal and her father Chief of police, one can only picture just how bad the hovering was over the brunette. Though she was a little angel when she was younger, she slowly became rebellious as she grew older. As opposed to taking a step back and allowing her parents to do everything for her, she forcefully took the initiative on her work and projects.

There was always too much glitter, not enough substance. Instead of finding support through doing things herself, her teachers often told her that maybe she would’ve been better off asking for help. This cut the young girl deep, and she found that the rest of her time in Reno was people telling her she was too much of one thing, and never enough of anything else.

The brunette started acting out in class, but it never went anywhere due to who her parents were. This only frustrated her further. Her grades never truly slipped because the girl would be so bored that she would breeze through it all before ditching for the rest of the period. Sometimes she just wouldn’t show up for class at all, but she maintained an above 100% average. To this day, she isn’t sure if it was genuinely due to the work she put in or if her mother had anything to do with it.

Tilly never fit in, due to the fact that she purposely going against the social norms of the area. This left her at a limbo, though she attracted all types of people to her because of this quality. She often found herself mingling with all the cliques, but never truly belonging to one of her own. The brunette’s anxiety only became full-fledged during her high school years, which turned her onto the party scene in order to obtain her good pal, mary jane.

The young woman met a girl at one of these house parties and wound up running away to Vegas with her for a weekend after a couple months of them fooling around. The only way her parents found out was due to Tilly overdosing, and thus they finally realized all these expectations were weighing down on her. Though, they still never took full responsibility for the toll on their daughter. Tilly was able to get clean and stay clean, but her relationship with her parents was still strained.

It was expected of her to go to a university and either wind up in the criminal justice realm, or the education path. It was the final straw for her parents when Tilly dropped out of university within the first semester. In truth, her heart just wasn’t in it - so what was the point? Was she really meant to go through life with her future already mapped-out? She wouldn’t allow that to happen, and so she took it upon herself to not return home.

Instead, Tilly traveled via couch-surfing with strangers she met along her journey. She was searching for an answer that never came, but through all her experiences she came across varying skills and learning opportunities. The brunette liked the constant change and not knowing what the next day brought.

Now residing in NY, Tilly is always doing something new. From an assistant to a star, to a dog walker - the young woman has lived a million lives ever since she fled from the nest. So she continues to take up odd jobs and grow with each new experience though this road to discovery.

Extra-Extra, Read All About Her!

One would find Tilly in the party scene of NY. A natural networker, the brunette can’t help but make connections where ever she goes. Though this may be the case, she finds it easy to cut ties and move on. Due to her history, Tilly has a soft spot for those who are also trying to figure themselves out. She also is a safe space, and makes it her job to be open-minded and nonjudgmental to others. A natural thrill-seeker, Tilly is always the first one to suggest some off-the-wall activity or adventure. Hot-headed, the young woman is prone to going from overly sweet to giving someone the cold shoulder in a matter of seconds. Tilly is always down for physical connections, but will also throw someone’s phone number out if they don’t capture her full attention. Easily bored, the woman is always on the go and is prone to disappearing and reappearing for months at a time. Tilly can come across as sarcastic if her mood isn’t in a good place, but she can be a great person to have a deep conversation with or even if you need to go out and have some fun. Also, a notable comic relief character.
