I’ve seen people talk about the heights of the oou characters, and I respectfully disagree with all of them. Here’s what I think their heights would actually be :
Addy - 5”1
Bronwyn - 5”6
Cooper - 5”9//5”10 (he’s a short but not so short king, change my mind)
Nate - 6”0
Kris - 6”1
Maeve - 5”4
Phoebe - 5”2
Knox - 5”9 (he’s also a short king)
Luis - 6”2
Bonus characters:-
Ashton - 5”9//5”10
Eli - 5”7 (the shortest king)
Keely - 5”3
Olivia - 5”10

Sending this to five people, and you can too if you want to keep it going :)
Pick any five OTPs and choose just one song you associate with each. For instance, I'm going through an acute Serenate phase (don't judge me, lol) and would choose either Perfect or Golden for them. And of course a million Taylor songs fit every OTP ever ;) Can't wait to see which ships and songs you choose!
Most of the time, I correlate the soundtracks of the shows to the couples they were playing during, and I pay attention to the music playing. However, in light of your TS mention, I have decided to pick Taylor songs only for this ask. As you say, she has so many that work for a lot of ships.
Lucas and Peyton (One Tree Hill): I Almost Do - This happened last night while listening to Red (Taylor's Version) in the bath. I feel like it's them when they aren't together.
Chuck and Blair (Gossip Girl): The Way I Loved You - Same rule applies here...this song fits them when they are with other people.
Damon and Elena (The Vampire Diaries): Maroon - Really, every song ever makes me think of them. With Maroon, it's mostly the "one I was dancing with" because my babies love dancing with each other. The whole song is really them, though.
Pacey and Joey (Dawson's Creek): This Love - I mean...could it be more perfect for them?
Bronwyn and Nate (One of Us is Lying): Everything Has Changed - It's the "your eyes look like coming home" and "and all my walls, stood tall painted blue, but I'll take 'em down, take 'em down, and open up the door for you, and all I feel, in my stomach is butterflies, the beautiful kind, makin' up for lost time." Seriously, that's my babies right there.

More headcanons because I want to and I need somewhere to put these that are not my brain
Horace, as much as I absolutely love the kid, is not someone who can draw things. (Have you SEEN his drawing in book one? That kid cannot draw.) Because of this, he almost never plans out any clothes he makes. When he absolutely needs to, he goes to Millard and asks him to draw figures for him so he can put very blocky clothes on top of them. Millard is always happy to do so.
Enoch can kind of draw. He likes to sketch out his homunculi so you’ll find little figure drawings everywhere around his room but he will absolutely refuse to admit they’re his.
He/they nonbinary Hugh. I will DIE on this hill.
On a similar vein, AFAB Jacob, Hugh, Enoch, and maybe Millard (I go back and forth with Mill), AMAB Fiona. Alllll the trans kids.
Not a single child on that island is cishet. Fucking. Fight me.
They have a computer Jacob and Noor got and convinced Miss Peregrine to keep in a safe house outside Devil’s Acre. Jacob taught some of the kids how to play Minecraft on it and now if you can’t find Enoch and Horace that’s probably where they are.
On the few instances he leaves the loop, every time Jacob texts someone or types something on his phone and he’s by himself he reads it out loud to himself the way he would’ve said it in a verbal conversation. He has no idea why he does it and only Emma has witnessed this. She just looked at him funny and shrugged.
Horace knows how to ice skate. If you couldn’t tell by the figure skater including this in literally everything he physically can.
Emma and Millard are just as much partners in crime as Enoch and Horace are. The difference is that they’re not dating or crushing on each other and most of their plots outside of Raid the Village are how to make Enoch and Horace as flustered about liking each other as physically possible. (Occasionally Bronwyn joins.)
I like to think eventually Emma was convinced to play Raid the Village with the others because personally she seems too inclined to burn shit to the ground to be as bothered by it as Enoch said she was
Both Miss Peregrine and Sharon are the group parents. They have absolutely nothing to do with each other, but they both individually looked at these children and said “yep, these idiots are mine” and now every time one of them does something stupid (COUGH Emma and Enoch being given access to fire) their immediate reaction is “what stupid kids. Oh shit those are MY kids—”
As described by my boyfriend, Sharon is the bad influence adoptive father who will absolutely drive you somewhere to go commit arson but if you don’t put your seatbelt on he kicks you out of the boat
Around Christmas one year Jacob figured out that outside the loop he could put a speaker in Sharon’s boat and play music so he played The Polar Express (just the one song) on repeat for an hour and now he’s not allowed to play music on the boat anymore. (The speaker is also somewhere at the bottom of the Thames, courtesy of Sharon and also Enoch.)
Hugh, Fiona, and Millard hate winter. Anytime they have to go to a cold loop for more than a few days or have to go to the present in winter for more than a few hours they sit and sulk until they can go home.
The three of them also learned BSL for Fiona once everything had calmed down again and they actually had time to do it. The rest of the kids kind of know it, but those three are the most fluent in it, and Millard carries gloves around with him anytime he’s wearing clothes so he can put them on and the three of them can talk shit about the other kids in front of them
Okay that’s all :)

Hello. As a watcher of a few drama series as well as a reader, I like how you noticed Easter eggs from season 1. Me personally, I follow character development as well as Easter eggs. (Not saying you don't.) For example, following Disa's development in season 1, one can conclude that she is a character who will fall under Sauron's influence going forward, which also, reinforces lore regarding the dwarves and hoarding. Interesting how the showrunners reinforce that she will get corrupted.
I want to add that if I go by Easter eggs alone and ignore character development, Bronwyn will be under his influence, as celebrimbor and Galadriel were, and Ar-Pharazon. However, since they will all know who he is this season, based on her character development, and not just Easter eggs, when she learns who he is, I see her leading a faction against him. Also she isn't in the lore so I wonder how much she will be a focus going forward, whereas Disa might be more likely effected.
I agree! And you bring up a very interesting topic.
I love how we can predict each character's story arc and development. The potential (and assured) tragedies and triumphs make for an enriching analytical experience. It often saddens me that not all of the characters we love will have happy endings. For example, you have beloved characters like Isildur, who dies tragically, being ensnared by the Ring. We know how vulnerable Eärien is to certain influences, so her looking into the Palantir in episode 8 does not bode well, considering Sauron can communicate through Palantiri. Theo also has an extremely dismal path ahead of him.
The Stranger is a little less predictable, and we might think it's obvious that he'll end up being good (he probably will), but there are a few indications in interviews that it's not set in stone yet, despite him saying, "I am good."
So, in Season 1 alone, every character has a pretty solid foundation from which we can predict the direction of their development, and it's really fun to talk about. You brought up Bronwyn and Disa, so let's talk a bit about them.
-------------------------------
Finrod's metaphor is the template we can use to determine the ending of an arc.
"Do you know why a ship floats, and a stone cannot? Because the stone sees only downward. The darkness of the water is vast and irresistible. The ship feels the darkness, as well, striving moment by moment to master her and pull her under. But the ship has a secret. For, unlike the stone, her gaze is not downward, but up, fixed upon the light that guides her, whispering of grander things than Darkness ever knew."
(TROP: A Shadow of the Past)
This was used even for Gollum, whose ending was nigh certain from the beginning, although he was technically redeemable.
"He was interested in roots and beginnings; he dived into deep pools; he burrowed under trees and growing plants; he tunnelled into green mounds; and he ceased to look up at the hill-tops, or the leaves of trees, or the flowers opening in the air: his head and his eyes were downward."
(FOTR: The Shadow of the Past)
-------------------------------
DISA
There's a lot here. I agree that she will be deceived by Sauron. I love her, but she is walking a very tight rope.
It is difficult to drive the point home without talking extensively about mithril, but I am in the middle of explaining all of the mithril stuff on my blog, so my thinking will be exposed soon.
Sauron can plant certain words in the mind, so that the speakers believe it came from their own thoughts. For example, Isildur, Gollum, and Bilbo independently describe the One Ring as being "Precious." Celebrimbor talks about "the key that unlocked the dam," "power over flesh," and a "power of the unseen world," without knowing that those are Sauron's words. Then, he continues to use words that Sauron has used before (as he fidgets with the mithril).
(1x08):
Galadriel: "Those words. 'Power over flesh.' Where did you hear them?"
Celebrimbor: "I... I was conferring with my smiths, I think. I... No, I believe those are my words."
G: "Was Halbrand with you?"
C: "What's it matter? It's over."
(1x02):
Galadriel: "Your home. Where was it?"
Sauron: "What's it matter? It's ashes now."
So, when Elrond turns to Disa and says...
"Go towards goodness."
...we are left with a very important question:
Will she?
Depends. Is her gaze up or down? Is she whispering the same things that Darkness whispers, or is she "whispering of grander things than Darkness ever knew?"
In episode 7, her true motivations are brought to light. She's not evil, but she is treading some dangerous territory. After Dúrin says that he failed Elrond, and it's his fault that the Elves must flee, Disa gives a very unnerving monologue:
"No. No, it isn't. [...] It's your father's. He's grown too old, too suspicious, his mind too feeble, his eyes too dim to see that no matter how many crests he hurls to the floor, one day this will be your kingdom—Dúrin IV's. Not your brother's. Not some other Dwarf-lord's. Yours. And mine. And together, we will rule this mountain and all others before our time is done."
Pause.
Now, I don't know about you, but that just raises a ton of exclamation points in my head. Do the highlighted words sound familiar?
"Against your enemy. And mine."
"Together, we can save this Middle-earth." ["Save, or rule?"]
Disa is so intent on gathering mithril, that she doesn't recognize the nature of what she's saying.
She seems to genuinely care about Elrond, and the idea that he and his people will become extinct if they don't leave Middle-earth is probably distressing, especially since the Dwarves have a supposed means of saving them, and Dúrin III isn't helping.
However.
In retrospect, the apparent dependency the Elves have on mithril seems almost like an excuse for her.
Disa: "Lice-bearded, uncaring, old fool!"
Dúrin: "What if he's right?"
Disa: "You're not thinking of letting this happen!"
Dúrin: "What choice do we have?"
Disa: "You said the other Dwarf-lords were open to the proposal. If we reopen the mine ourselves, prove to them there's a safe way to gather mithril, perhaps they'd make him listen. Perhaps we could force your father's hand" (1x07).
She never mentions Elrond, or the Elves.
Also, who really likes to use Force?
"But he ruled rather by force and fear, if they might avail"
(The Silmarillion: Of the Rings of Power and the Third Age).
"Supposing that's the trouble. Supposing we've been using too much force" (1x08).
But what connection could she possibly have to mithril? Why does she want it so badly?
She was the first one to find it. In episode 4, Dúrin tells Elrond, "Disa detected it during a routine gold-seaming."
The remainder of her monologue is the most revealing.
"That mithril belongs to us—to you and me. And together, one day, we are going to dig."
Keep in mind that Elrond has just been cast out of Khazad-dûm, and Dúrin and Disa believe there is no stopping the Elves from leaving Middle-earth. The only race they are concerned about now is the Dwarves. Yet, Disa is still set on obtaining mithril, and she no longer has the excuse that it's to save the entire Elven race. She emphasizes "to you and me," as if to say, "Forget the Elves. Now, it's ours."
All of this sets Disa up to be extremely vulnerable to Sauron's intriguing suggestions, if/when he comes to Khazad-dûm. I think we can compare her to Celebrimbor in a lot of ways. She's a smith, like Celebrimbor (and Sauron), and wants to make the Dwarven people prosper. But excessive ambition can lead to pride, and...
"Humility has saved entire kingdoms the proud have all but led to ruin" (Galadriel, 1x06).
-------------------------------
BRONWYN
We can end on a happy note.
Like Disa, Bronwyn can also be compared to Celebrimbor in some ways. Celebrimbor is an artificer, who wants to bring beauty to Middle-earth, and Bronwyn is a healer (which is what Sauron claims he wants to be). However, she is much more humble, with little ambition but for the welfare of her son and neighbors. She also has Arondir to help her in moments of despair, like in episode 5.
This season, she seemed to be very defensive of Halbrand, understandably so. Leading the Men of the Southlands was "a burden [she] never sought to take up," so having the Promised King finally appear was a tremendous relief. She did everything she could to heal his wound in episode 7 and asked Galadriel what to do with him when it continued to fester. She did not hesitate to gather provisions for the ride to Eregion, and was the first to say, "Strength to the King."
But despite her fidelity to Sauron's kingly guise, I think we can be assured that she will perceive the peril sooner or later. Let's repeat the same question as before:
Will she go towards goodness?
Depends. Is her gaze up or down? Is she whispering the same things that Darkness whispers, or is she "whispering of grander things than Darkness ever knew?"
Answer:
Theo: "Do you remember when I was little, when I used to have bad dreams?"
Bronwyn: "I remember."
Theo: "Do you remember what you used to say, when you would hold me in the dark?"
Bronwyn: [nods]
Theo: "Would you say it to me, now?"
Bronwyn: "In the end, this shadow is but a small and passing thing. There is light and high beauty, forever beyond its reach. Find the light, and the shadow will not find you" (1x06).
By the time everyone knows who Sauron is (after the One Ring is forged), I can picture a dynamic like the one in Númenor between the Faithful and the Kingsmen. Bronwyn and Arondir's standing might be similar to Míriel and Elendil's. Judging by this scary piece of foreshadowing, Sauron will probably try to seduce Bronwyn in some manner. Charlie knew what he was doing when he made this face:
(note Arondir and Galadriel looming in the background lol)
Arondir would obviously NOT be too happy about that, and in episode 7, we can already see many hints of his distrust. Considering that Sauron injured himself with a wound that needed Elvish medicine (which probably required some sorcery), I wonder if Arondir witnessed something. (I can make another post on this, later.)
In any case, I don't think Bronwyn will be 'conquered.'
The lyrics of Plea to the Rocks solidly point towards where her arc is going.
Amanya fírië, alcarinquë-anyalie
Nolwa mahtar
Koivierya queluva rië aurenna quel-kala
Laure
Envinyataina Órerya siluva elerrína
Kardalyaron minty-oialë
Blessed death, glorious memory
Brave soldier
Her life will fade only upon the day light fades
Golden light
Renewed, her heart will shine, crowned with stars
Deed of your people, remembered forever
Her death will probably be like Morwen's (Túrin's mother), in The Silmarillion:
"But Morwen said: 'Almost. I am spent. I shall go with the sun. [...]' But Húrin did not answer, and they sat beside the stone, and did not speak again; and when the sun went down Morwen sighed and clasped his hand, and was still; and Húrin knew that she had died. He looked down at her in the twilight and it seemed to him that the lines of grief and cruel hardship were smoothed away. 'She was not conquered,' he said; and he closed her eyes, and sat unmoving beside her as the night drew down" (Of the Ruin of Doriath).

Once she holds out her hand and asks, Do you mind if I sit, no other memory will exist without brushing backward or forward
After Nora meets me on the bench, it will be difficult to recall that in the beginning there were moments so plain and unconsumed that I felt I could watch them like a distant view. Like hills rolling away. Once she holds out her hand and asks, Do you mind if I sit, no other memory will exist without brushing backward or forward over the moment her eyes looked down at me. The soft and penetrable skull of the world will suddenly harden and everything will be seen through the damp and wilful light of our first meeting.

A Gentle Touch // Arondir x Bronwyn // Rated T
Character Study, Short Fic, Pre-Canon, Relationship Development: An introspective snapshot of Arondir and Bronwyn, pre-canon, and the moments that draw them together.
Read on Ao3 or below the cut!
so I was reluctant to post my fic on Tumblr because I figured I might get some hate, but then I got some hate on another post and now I figure, fuck it! bring it on, bitches! if you have nothing better to do than bully creators out here minding their own business, then that's on you, buddy. that's on you.
He liked the night. The shape of the hills in the darkness like great huddled bodies, old giants bent and grizzled into granite. The touch of the moon on the valley floor, a migrating pool of ethereal light.
He liked the shape of the moon, always changing. It seemed to him quite an expressive face, slower to shift than that of a human or a dwarf or an elf, but quick enough that he could meet it with a mind to conversation.
He liked the conversation — the silence of it. It was conducted in subtlety, like all he aimed to do.
Arondir had spent many nights on top of the tower. Many years worth of nights. He had watched the edge of the forest creep into the belly of the valley, the slow-fingered hands and feet of the leafed ones weaving through the soil. He had guided such movements once: danced with them in call and response, pulled them gently towards his will, sung them with praise for their service. But now he could only watch them from afar, whispering small blessings to the wind.
He had watched when the men came with sharpened blades and cut the old ones back to the cliffs, so as not to lose precious pasture to their slow advance. Arondir understood. He grieved for the trees, but he did not curse the men. They were simply growers of a different kind.
Perhaps it was the passive distance allowed by the tower, but he saw them as strangely innocent and harmless: small, foolish creatures, safely contained within the bowl of their own valley, crashing up against the same unbreakable rocks year after year. He felt more akin to the mountains than to the humans, when he stood up there.
But it was different when he walked among the villages. In the villages it was not so simple. For surely, after several decades, an elf with a mind for careful observation must start to make some distinctions, to carve the shape of individuals from the mass of man he walked among.
Edar, who worked the forge, whose father had once made Arondir a brass buckle for his quiver. It was nothing to rival the craftsmanship of elves, but it was stout and sturdy and possessed its own strange grace, and was precious to Arondir in its strangeness.
Bronwyn, the wise woman, who spoke the secrets of plants, who told him the names of the flowers he did not know and their unfamiliar uses for human ailments.
Yoric, who kept the largest holding in the valley, and seemed to think this made him superior to Arondir, who was, in Yoric’s mind, only a simple a foot soldier of his own people, at great disadvantage to Yoric’s place as petty Lord.
Metil, the eldest woman on the council, who had not been able to see since she was 5 years old, but who let Arondir guide her sometimes to the high passes, for she remembered the smell of the air there and could not live a year without it.
Bronwyn, the wise woman, who had once shown him a hidden grove of flowering trees tucked inside the forest’s edge, where few bothered to go. Bronwyn, who had let the blossoms fall from a gently-shaken bough into the bend of her apron, re-filling her stock of medicine without ever breaking a twig or a petal.
Darin, who brewed the worst beer in the valley, and therefore had the most prosperous tavern.
Lavia, who kept sheep.
Bronwyn, who had woven Arondir a talisman from fibers crushed from the stalks of wild plants, a coarse patch of fabric, green-grey and shaped by her fingers. Bronwyn, who had tucked it in the back of his hood one morning beside the well, so quickly and casually he might have missed it, if he was capable of missing anything she did. “For protection,” she said, matter-of-factly, without embellishment, just like her simple cloth. It was starting to burnish now, where his head brushed against it, reminding him with every touch of the hand that had placed it there.
Bronwyn, whose eyes were like the moon and the valley, bright and dark and deep all at once, and always, always calling him into silent conversation.
Bronwyn —
-----------
The elf could not be tolerated. That much was clear.
Bronwyn lived by a simple set of rules — invisible rules, unspoken perhaps, but rules she respected nonetheless. They gave an essential order and protection to her life. They defined for her the actions that a single, unbounded woman had to take — that a healer had to take, that a mother had to take — to keep herself safe from rumor and scorn.
She knew what it was to be a stranger, to come from away, even if it was just a day’s walk East. She had come to know the cloying sense of sameness, pricked with just enough difference to make her feel uncouth and half-mad most of the time. She had come to Tirharad to be married, and she knew even then what protection a husband could offer, and what protection he could not.
She remembered the first time she had been betrayed. Whispers and lies passed down an invisible line: she had been mixing poison into her medicines, she had spat in the salve, cursed it with ancient words she had learned from the far hills. That is why the old widow died so suddenly, only 5 days after taking Bronwyn’s draughts. That is why a young woman had disappeared without a trace 3 weeks before, for it was clear she’d gotten with child, and everyone knew the Old Evil loved to eat the unborn.
According to the villagers, the Old Evil was thoroughly dead in Tirharad, except, apparently, in Brownwyn’s bleeding herbs, which she had not even given to the girl. The girl had run to the Coast where her lover was meant to meet her. Bronwyn hoped she wasn’t dead.
They confronted her at dusk, a group of ragged, angry townsfolk, lost to their own ignorance. Bronwyn had to fix them with the end of kitchen knife, telling them her husband would find them all on his return and make them pay for their treatment of her. He was away then, as if often was in those times, but the threat of his presence still bore some weight.
She did not say on his return how she had used him, what she had threatened in his name. He asked her once how the got the cut on her arm, just above the wrist, for she’d been shaking so sorely after the villagers left that she’d become unwary of the blade. She lied. She couldn’t say why. Perhaps she did not want him to know how weak she was in his absence.
But now he was gone for good, and she could not use his name, not even the ghost of his name. She was alone. So she kept to her rules.
It was not that she loved the rules. She had not come to care for them as keepers in her husband’s stead. They chafed at her every day like the rubbing of rope on wrists, like the weight of a stone in her shoe. But she knew they were necessary.
All of them told her that the elf could not be tolerated.
It was simple at first, for Arondir seemed almost made of stone, or perhaps some gentler material, but one still impervious to the ripples of human emotion — clay or water or the living flesh of trees. He was made of something too old and too powerful for her idle thoughts to touch, and so it caused no harm that she admired him, that she wondered sometimes in the quiet space of night how the world looked through his eyes, how she might measure up in the mind of one who had lived as long as a forest, who had traveled the world like a stream.
Perhaps her gazing of him was a vain, self-centered sort of thing, for she did not truly notice until it was too late that he was gazing back. She had not been fully aware that she was guiding this into being, thinking her gestures immaterial — as useless as throwing sand against a sea.
But Arondir was not as wide and ineffable as the sea. Not to her. Not anymore.
He was becoming more knowable, more man-shaped, his edges defined into something she could touch. He did not mind when she touched him. A handful of flowers brushed into his palm, a twist of hay plucked from his cloak: these gestures were not rebuffed. She pushed the boundary, tested his limits: a small piece of magic tucked inside his hood, her fingers gliding quickly across the back of his neck for one breathless moment. He did not flinch. Once, she had given him a small vial of honey from her own hives, from the precious bees who danced across her wild garden of herbs. She had placed it in his hand, palm hovering over palm, and he cupped his fingers up to meet hers. He traced the edge of her smallest nail.
She knew then how much she had played the fool.
She had prayed for her own destruction, and her call had been answered.

camila mendes. she/her. cisfemale. › spotted at the met steps , natalia salazar , most likely listening to you’re on your own kid by taylor swift with their airpods pro . the twenty four years old gained quite a reputation , known to be -intransigent yet +allocentric to anyone who knows them . you’ll easily spot them when you hear about rosy cheeks , rolled up sleeves of an oversized sweater , the smell of mom’s homemade chicken noodle soup , cheesy romantic comedies , followed by flowerbomb by viktor & rolf. latest nepoupdates article talks about she was recently spotted at a store with a child in her arms and what seems to be a nanny after years of being in hiding , but i guess any reputation is good reputation .
* / . 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒔 .
full name ﹕ natalia sofía salazar.
nickname ﹕nat, nini.
gender & pronouns ﹕cis female, she/her.
date of birth ﹕december 29th, 1998.
place of birth ﹕porto alegre, brazil.
current residence ﹕ new york, new york .
education ﹕completed high school. started studying communications but dropped out.
sexual orientation ﹕heterosexual.
inspired by ﹕ haley james scott ( one three hill ), rachel green ( friends ), lydia martin ( teen wolf ), maya hart ( girl meets world ), bronwyn rojas ( one of us is lying ).
* / . 𝒃𝒊𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒑𝒉𝒚 .
there really isn’t much to tell about natalia. people usually know how these stories go; a relatively wealthy family, parents who, in one way or another, are a little bit negligent or dismissive, kids who end up either raising or wrecking themselves and their siblings in the process, unfulfilled dreams, and so on. well, the salazar family story is basically that.
her parents ( marisol and esteban ) were just your typical couple who had a little too many privileges and they loved bragging about them. their story starts in porto alegre, brazil to be exact. they were just your average high school sweethearts who ended up living the so called “perfect life”, that after three kids ended up falling apart. natalia is the middle child in the family; the second attempt from marisol & esteban to save the marriage that was hanging by a very thin thread. being the middle child and second daughter of the family, you’d think she would’ve had a very light and flexible upbringing. since everyone always assumes the middle child is often forgotten, unfortunately for natalia, all the pressure that her parents put on her older sister was somehow placed all into her as well. all the dreams that her parents never achieved ( but were dying to vicariously live through their children ) they placed onto her, along with the fact that they expected her to single handedly fix their fucked up marriage, as if a marriage depends on the children and not the spouse.
she was pretty much at a disadvantage from the start, they never really gave her a chance. now, being under so many expectations and pressure really fucked up with natalia’s head. apart from the fact that she was very dependant and influenced on other people’s views and perceptions of her so, she never really had the courage or back bone to stand her ground and say enough is enough; not like they ever gave her a chance to do so. it’s no surprise that there was little to no relationship between her parents or even her brothers, she always felt like the outsider and like the most important person in the family, it was such an ambivalent and inconsistent environment, she never really knew what she was gonna be for her family today or the day after.
the ambivalence she was met with at home, lead her to making some unfortunate mistakes; trust the wrong people, doubt herself and so on. and then, she met a guy, an amazing guy; lorenzo rossi. the relationship she had with him is one of the only things she doesn’t regret. but, what she does regret is what she did after and what happened after. you know when things are going too well that you are expecting and waiting like crazy for the other shoe to drop ? well, that’s what happened to natalia. things were going far too well with lorenzo that she felt like it was only a matter of time before shit went down. so, what did she do ? she left. she just vanished, she was looking for a way out from everything, especially her family. and she got it. she walked away, without saying anything and without any sort of warning.
now those four years that she was away, being everywhere and anywhere, something amazing happened. she didn’t know until a bit after she left but she started feeling nauseous and was going through a lot of hormonal changes, and surprise surprise, she was expecting. now, when she found out there was an initial panic because it wasn’t really in her plans to become a mom, and there was the fact that she was all alone ( by choice ) so she was gonna have to figure it out. and yes, of course, she could’ve gone back but there was the fear in her mind that as soon as she went back, hell was gonna rain on her. she obviously knew that it wasn’t gonna be pretty, i mean it had been years at this point, they all probably hated her; especially lorenzo and showing up at his doorstep after a while of being MIA with the news of ‘ hey, sorry i vanished but you are gonna be a dad ’ really did not sound like the best plan, so she just stuck it up on her own. she ended up giving birth to a little girl called rosie and she immediately became her whole world. at first it was a bit bittersweet since she was all alone with a newborn, as much as she wanted to tell her siblings she couldn’t risk disclosing her location or risk being persuated by them to return, so she stuck it through. she was happy for a while, and then, around rosie’s 4th birthday and because like a dark hole her family needed to suck away the little amount of happiness she had in her life; her parents ended up splitting up and it was ugly, and they called her ‘cause she needed to be there for whatever bullshit reason ‘cause people really took the split as a national tragedy and so, more so for the feeling of duty, she came back. so she’s here again, the only difference is she has an added plus with her, trying to avoid at any cost the person that she knows it’s only a matter of time before they bump into each other again.
* / . 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 .
natalia is a very much ‘ what you see is what you get ’ kind of person. she isn’t that difficult to figure out unless she doesn’t want you to. she is a very light-hearted person, who puts everyone else’s needs before her own to an extreme point. she walks around with her heart on her sleeve, very much a lover not a fighter, loves having fun and laughing till she cannot breathe with the people that she loves.
now, the other side of the coin, extremely influenced by her environment and other people’s views on her, she cares a bit too much about what everyone else thinks or doesn’t think of her. now she is obviously not a mind reader but that doesn’t stop her from overthinking just a bit. has a complete fear of confrontation like she will never go pick a fight with absolutely anybody; like you could literally push her and she would just get up and walk away before ever confronting the person who did it. very much pushover, kinda rachel green style. her first reaction in the face of a conflict is avoid, avoid, avoid. like i’m running away from you because you might be fast, but her fear of conflict is faster. she turns into the flash, you ain’t ever catching up to her. very much a people pleaser even if it means withering away and dying. or until she can’t handle it anymore and she runs away so she doesn’t have to deal with the disappointed looks from the people she cares about.
she is very devoted person; she tends to give her heart away to everyone she meets. keeps her feelings under like twenty locks, will never willingly share that part of herself, unless it’s with someone she wholeheartedly trusts. a bit of an adrenaline junkie. watches horror movies just for the rush of it, even tho she spends half of the movie either pretending to be busy or covering her eyes. buuuuut, she can watch true crime documentaries like it's nothing. doesn't faze them at all, she thinks in her past life she was a criminologist.
she’s naturally a very kind person, she cares deeply about other people although she struggles to express it most of the time .loves loves loves watching the stars. a huge astronomy nerd, will literally talk to anyone about astronomy for like hours if you let her. she finds the stars and the moon at night so peaceful, calm and so beautiful so sometimes she just spends the whole night watching them.
* / . 𝒇𝒖𝒏 𝒇𝒂𝒄𝒕𝒔 .
fluent in spanish and portuguese.
she loves learning new languages, she is currently trying to learn italian, not doing a very good job but the effort is what counts.
loves cooking like could spend hours on hours in the kitchen making up something, especially sweets.
she is obsessed with tik tok, and her hobby is basically learning every dance she stumbles upon in her fyp.
loves loves dancing, like take her salsa dancing and she is there, every day of the week.
is dying to go skydiving and bungee jumping like if she had to pick anything to do before she died it would be one of those two.
has an intense phobia of lizards, like all it takes is seeing one from afar and her fight or flight immediately kicks in, followed by a huge breakdown.
her favorite holiday is christmas, she is very much a listen to christmas all year long type of person and she doesn’t hide it, she just loves it so much
she LOVES the cold, like cold weather is heaven to her, she loves the snow, drinking hot chocolate, wearing jackets & sweaters, boots... she’s just there for the vibes.
