TW: death & drug use

GABRIEL’S BACKSTORY

anthony trevino & sofia costa originally met in madrid, spain having met as children through their families. the trevino family was well-known for owning several vineyards across spain, whereas the costa’s owned a few of their own in italy. it’s a cliche story, becoming best friends throughout their childhood and, eventually, started to date when they were 15. things were easy for them ( most of the time ), & it helped that both sides of the family supported & encouraged everything they decided to do together. not to mention that, well, the money they received from their parents helped, too. by the time high school graduation flew by for them, both the trevino’s & the costa’s decided to have their children be part of the businesses and named them official owners of all the vineyards. with this came plenty of traveling, meetings, events, wine exhibitions, etc. together until, eventually, they got married in their early 20s. you know the feeling of being on top of the world? that’s them to a T for several years after, even after knowing each other since they were little ones. however, it wasn’t until they reached the age of 26 when they finally felt as if things were truly complete: they gave birth to a little baby boy aka gabe!

from there, they tried their best to make sure their son grew up perfectly. never pressured him about opening up, always made sure he wasn’t feeling neglected, other things similar to that. it’s what made gabriel so dependent and close with his parents for so many years. the kind of love he’s witnessed from his parents was, & still is, something that he wants for himself. they’re the sole reason why he’s such a little romantic at heart despite coming off as the opposite to everyone. his best memories with them is flying out back to spain or italy, visiting his uncles, aunts, grandparents, & so on while checking up on the vineyards. back in the day, the trevino trio were inseparable. that is ... until he turned 13. one night in april 2007, gabe was staying over a family friend’s home while his parents went to a formal event. things were fine, everything seemingly normal --- until they received an unexpected call from a local hospital. unfortunately, it turns out that anthony & sofia were hit by a drunk driver on their way to pick their son up. sofia died on impact while her husband sadly passed in the ambulance. the news was heartbreaking, so much so that when gabriel heard of their deaths he spent the remainder of the night ( & the following week ) locked in the guest room of the house crying & blaming himself for what happened despite the fact that he couldn’t control the events that occurred.

of course, their deaths would have a detrimental effect on their son. the family friends that were with him that night ( michael & caroline maher ) soon adopted gabe into their family, despite the sudden closed-off & destructive personality change as a result from the accident. he wasn’t taking things as seriously as before, which left him getting into the wrong crowd. by the time he was 16, he began getting into hardcore drugs ( e.g. coke ) because of the terrible influences of his so-called “friends” at the time and overall became a toxic person to be around. it was so bad, in fact, that he developed a hefty addiction. this went on for about a bit over a year or so with no one really recognizing this ( thanks to his ability to hide behind a facade so well ). it wasn’t until two years later, though, when gabriel just graduated from high school that he had been caught participating in these kind of activities by his adoptive parents; one day, while tidying his room, caroline found his stash inside his closet and immediately went hysterical. due to this, they forced gabe to go into rehab, not wanting to see the boy their best friends’ left in their care to disappear like his parents. he wasn’t overjoyed about this; in fact, he was in denial over the fact that he had a problem. though, seeing how distressed mike & caroline were over finding his coke had him feeling an immense amount of guilt. so, although reluctantly, he agreed.

90 days later & fresh out of rehab, he’s feeling the best he’s felt in a long ass time!! he spends a few months with mike & caroline, wanting to apologize & thoroughly make up for his behavior over the years. he spent endless amounts of time trying to show just how grateful he was for the fact that they took him in & stayed by his side throughout everything. though, he wasn’t satisfied with just running his family’s vineyards; in fact, he always had strong feelings for music. so, impulsively, gabe started to take dj lessons. it was a lot of hard work & dedication on his part, but this was something he absolutely loved doing. besides, he always thought that dj’s were cool. he worked his ass off, practicing everyday to perfect his craft until, eventually, he started booking gigs. by the time he was 20, gabriel quickly became well-known in the music industry & moved out to new york as a way of trying to forget about the past in chicago & looking towards the future here. he moved mike & caroline out too bc he’s Soft for them! since then, he’s been booking gigs all over new york and the world; not to mention he’s gaining more fans/recognition everyday. BUT FUN FACT: he’s actually juST started to do drugs again on the down low so :~) :~)

GABRIEL’S PERSONALITY

because he’s doing what he loves, gabe normally has a pretty easygoing & friendly vibe to him. sometimes he has his moments of being in limbo, so to speak, but most of the time he’s approachable & loves a good conversation. he’s also a Dumbass so like LMAO, 10/10 would say something & it wouldn’t make any sense or it would just leave people going, “wtf??” but he cares so much for his friends/family, he would actually jump into the center of the earth for them. not only that, but if he sees someone down he’d go out of his way to cheer them up no matter what it takes.

however, he isn’t always such a nice guy. he has a short fuse & gets irritated easily, though he tries very hard not to express it, but it’s possible for him to blow up at someone every now & then. as previously stated, gabe is also capable of putting on a front around people, too. he hasn’t really relied on anyone outside of his family ( besides a few childhood friends/best friends ), so the idea of being open with people he doesn’t know all that well or is just an acquaintance with isn’t his cup of tea. so is he a liar? to an extent, but only to prevent himself from being let down. that being said, if someone tries asking what’s going on in that head of his or how he’s feeling about something--he’s just going to play it off with a shrug & pretend he’s chill with everything. ALSO because he started doing drugs again after four/five years of being sober, he has his little sad moments & he can come off as a bit pessimistic & dejected because he’s lowkey disappointed in himself okay cool.

i’m not trying to make this section long bc i already did that for his backstory so feajkhljkl that’s the shorthand version of it!

WANTED CONNECTIONS

bad influence, roommates, exes either good or bad terms, fwb, ex friends, rivals/enemies, enemies turned friends OR vice versa, bros, squad, sibling-like friendship, drug dealer, skinny love, first love, LITERALLY ANYTHING I’M A PLOT H*E OKAY THX FOR COMING TO MY LONG TED TALK

la vie en rouge ii

so after editing this one i remembered that members of the ackerman clan have that person of importance that they cherish or whatever. what if levi cared for mikasa like that? i think that’d be cute. i tried to establish more dialogue into this chapter but dialogue isn’t my strongest point. lmao i can’t even tell the difference between a noun verb and pronoun and shit like that. i just like writing sometimes.

i may have written the first half when i was kind of buzzed but there’s a lot to go through and it’s almost 5a rn so i’m posting this with fingers crossed, hoping that there aren’t too many mistakes.

levi had returned with plans of permanently remaining by mikasa’s side. having left the underground circle, levi followed her to the boundaries of wall rose only to witness the infamous armored titan destroy it. he had never seen a titan break through the wall like that.

when they reached the dump off area for refugees, mikasa had clutched onto his arm and almost cried. he thought she was crying because she was scared.

“why would you do that? what if you got hurt? what if someone saw you?” she sounded more angry than sad but she was one of the weirdest people he’d met.

“your home was just invaded by titans and the only thing you can think of is my safety?”

“yes! you shouldn’t risk yourself for me! i don’t know what i would’ve done if something happened to you!”

“i saved you and your family and this is how you talk to me?”

“i think you as my family too!”

“why? you don’t even know who i am.” he didn’t understand why she would think of him like that, but he was thoroughly pleased.

“i may not know anything about you but there’s something good in you and i want to see more of it.”

he had been introduced to her friends - armin, the blond, who was as nice as he looked while eren wasn’t as kind but was more curious about his relationship with mikasa. since they’ve only ever met at night or early morning, it would make sense to assume that she was bound to them.

levi wasn’t sure how they would react to him suddenly a part of their lives but he wasn’t going anywhere.

“when did you meet him?” armin asked. mikasa paused. she hadn’t thought of an excuse, which levi had to help with by jumping in.

“we’ve met at the market and talked a few times.”

something in his stomach told him the blond boy was going to be troublesome in the future with the suspicious looks he was giving him. eren blew past the explanation and seemed as if he was attempting to gain levi’s attention.

even though there was more to worry about, mikasa still had a hard time sleeping. levi, of course, noticed because he was usually awake on those nights with her. the first few weeks after the fall of wall maria, they have long conversations.

one night, mikasa had grown comfortable enough to talk about her past. though levi was very curious, he didn’t want to push her. he certainly wasn’t ready to tell her who he was before he met her.

he asked if her lack of sleep had to do with her past. she sighed in exhaustion. he almost wanted to tell her that she didn’t have to tell him anything, but she told him she wanted him to know.

mikasa didn’t have anyone to talk to until eren came to visit. she had said that the first time she met him was after she was kidnapped. levi didn’t feel it was right for her to tell him about herself. in a way, he felt he hadn’t deserved her trust. he had questions but he kept them to himself. he let her talk about how they thought it was going to be a doctors visit, how her mother had taught her to sew and the last thing she asked them was where babies had come from.

levi almost chuckled. he wasn’t sure how they were made, either.

then she told him after they killed her parents in front of her, she was taken to a shack where they were waiting for the buyer. she also mentioned that they were going to send her to the underground circle.

of course it was someone from underground. from levi’s experience, anyone that came from there were pigs. he wasn’t excluding himself because he had made the decision of sticking with her without asking her if she was okay with it. if she was okay with him. he had wanted to ask but he was afraid he wouldn’t like the answer. he figured if mikasa didn’t want him there, she wouldn’t hesitate to let him know.

she continued on with telling him how eren came into the picture. he was her savior. he had killed two of the three men.

“what happened to the third one?” he asked but he had a feeling he knew the answer.

“I killed him.” he couldn’t tell how that made her feel. she didn’t sound sad or upset at all. she was too good at keeping a straight face. he attempted to console her.

“you did what you had to do. if you didn’t do it then, he was going to kill you guys.”

“the knife went straight through his heart.”

“we don’t know who’s capable of anything when someone is cornered like that. i’ve killed before but i understand why i had to do it.” mikasa glanced at his eyes and nodded in understanding.

“eren had told me that the world is cruel but it can also be very beautiful.” levi wanted to roll his eyes. of course, eren would say something like that.

levi didn’t like eren. he was the kind of boy that would act before thinking. a lot of what mikasa had told him led him to believe that armin and herself were usually behind eren to keep him safe. how much trouble could he get into?

two days after the fall of maria, eren was picking a fight with a couple of garrison officers. mikasa had gotten him out of trouble but levi was pissed. there was no need for his friends to take care of him as if they were his parents. everyone had their own problems and eren was just giving everyone a hard time. he had wanted to ‘talk’ to eren, but mikasa had highly discouraged him. she had threatened him with violence. if anyone was going to hit eren, it was going to be her.

levi was slightly worried that she might’ve been enamored by eren but with how she described eren, he figured out that it was not the case. mikasa realized how she was more of an annoyance to eren and eren was the type of person that didn’t appreciate what he had until it was taken away from him.

not levi. levi had lost everything before he had a chance to appreciate it. the only person he really talked to was kenny. it was hard to find people to talk to when they were from underground. if somebody wanted to talk to him, they had bad intentions. levi had been making a name of himself. he didn’t care much for the attention - he hated the looks that were tossed his way.

he was tired of going back to the empty shack he called home. day in and out, it felt as though his actions were never getting him anywhere. even though he was fast on his feet and he was able to bring down men twice his size, levi still felt like he was at rock bottom. he knew how to use a knife but that was it.

since he made his way above ground, he had an easier time breathing. the air was cleaner and not everyone was out to get him. even after the invasion, the citizens were nowhere near as cruel as what he was used to.

despite armin’s questioning looks, eren’s poor attitude, mikasa’s overprotectiveness of the boys, and levi’s dependence on mikasa, the four remained together. when they were of age, they enlisted. levi had tried stopping mikasa from following the two of them but she was stubborn.

“where eren goes, i go.”

seeing how she wasn’t going to budge, levi decided to join as well.

“don’t follow me. i owe eren since he saved my life.” levi almost smiled. she had no idea that he was doing the same with her.

“i don’t have anyone else in this world but you. i don’t have a home. i don’t know how to explain it but you helped me. if you died because of that shitty brat, i’ll kill him.”

mikasa’s eyes widened slightly. then she smiled at him. it was one of the biggest smiles he had seen from her. she laid her hand on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck.

there were many things levi disliked but this wasn’t one of them.

“what are you doing?” mikasa didn’t let go but she let out a questioning sound.

“what do you mean?”

“touching me. this. what are you doing?”

“i’m hugging you. is that why you’re so stiff?”

“what does a hug do?”

“i’m trying to express my affection for you.”

“ugh, i know where you’ve been the last few days.” even though he had seen her get in a scrap fight with another boy from the trost district, he couldn’t help the slight twitch in his arms.

“do you want me to let go?”

“no. am i supposed to hug you back?”

“yes.”

levi and mikasa had silently agreed to keeping levi’s abilities a secret. initially, mikasa had wanted to tell armin and eren, but with eren’s strong dismay for titans, she wasn’t sure how he was going to receive the news.

in the training corps, mikasa and levi remained at the top of their class. in the duration of their training, it was no surprise that levi hadn’t made any new friends. he hadn’t seen the point if they were going to end up probably dying. it sounded pessimistic but he wanted to save himself from the most pain he could.

levi didn’t like how eren was annoyed with mikasa. it was a pattern - eren messed up, mikasa came to help him, and eren yells at her about it. mikasa was a stubborn girl so she doesn’t back down until he hurts her feelings and their relationship is further strained. levi, on the other hand, is perpetually admired near and far by eren and the other trainees.

mikasa wasn’t normal. levi noted that she was too strong for her size. the same could be said for himself, but he reasoned that he was older. because of her strange strength, she had received a lot of attention from other guys. many of them wanted to spar with her; one of the reoccurring boys being reiner and jean. levi suspected the latter to be one of her admirers. usually, jean would attempt to challenge her but levi would somehow intervene and end up dissuading the boy or fight him himself.

levi was practically inseparable from the shinganshina trio - more so mikasa. he walked out with mikasa when the first fight between jean and eren dissipated. jean had stopped mikasa (right in front of him no less) and complimented her hair. mikasa had thanked him and walked off with levi next to her.

to others, their relationship was rather strange. the air around levi demanded respect and fear while mikasa seemed to resemble this to a certain degree. sometimes shadis was hesitant to confront levi should he be caught skipping training.

on the first day, all the trainees were standing out in the sun, waiting for the infamous rite of passage. while they were waiting for shadis to finish his rounds, he noticed that he weeded out the ones that didn’t belong here. he witnessed the man harass armin and found himself taking some joy out of it. he glanced at mikasa from the corner of his eye. when they first met, he was taller than her. now, she was getting closer to his height and it felt like he hadn’t grown an inch.

mikasa had a relaxed face, almost as though she were in a daze. he had scanned the area for eren but he wasn’t able to see him from where he was standing. he had heard mikasa mention his last name but he was still in the process of learning his alphabet.

levi still hadn’t made an effort to get to know the two boys that were now his friends as well. he couldn’t care less and seeing as they still didn’t fully trust him, he didn’t see any reason to feel bad.

when shadis had finally walked past them, levi felt the need to scoff. there wasn’t any reason for him or mikasa to be there since this was just a game to weed out the weaker brats. some of them had already left camp. there were a few that the instructor had left alone - one being a blonde girl. something didn’t feel right with that one. there was something weird about the look in her eyes. it was too early to see what this girl was about, so he kept this information to himself. there was another boy: a tall sweaty one. it wasn’t a very hot day and he wasn’t on the heavy side, so he didn’t see a reason for him to be sweating so hard. he looked too nervous for shadis to walk past.

for the rest of the day, the trainees were thrown in classes to further educate them on titans and what their purposes were. it wasn’t hard to see that they were trying to inspire the other kids to get them eager enough to kill these monsters. levi took another glance at mikasa. she wasn’t engaged in the lesson since most of it was common knowledge.

if it were up to levi, he wouldn’t have joined the military. he had wanted to start over and live a civilian life. he had hoped that mikasa would want the same but she had already made up her mind. since she was so stubborn, he had planned out what would happen if she were to choose the garrison, military police, or the survey corps. if she were to choose the garrison, he’d fight tooth and nail to ensure they were in the same district. he had wanted her to choose the military police. despite the government being so corrupt, he had thought that to be better than what they were dealing with now. he’d do his damn best to convince the dumb bitch to be smart and work in the inner walls.

it was most likely that she was going to end up joining the survey corps with eren. anywhere eren went, she was going to follow. anywhere she went, levi would be right behind.

levi realized this might be their only shot of getting into the inner walls. levi only wanted her safety - he didn’t have anyone else he cared for so he definitely didn’t give two shits about humanity. he wasn’t going to save the world if she wasn’t going to be a part of it.

when it came to learning how to use the gear, it was no surprise that levi and mikasa had exceeded all expectations. it was also no surprise that eren had managed to mess up. with eren attempting to blow off his steam by provoking jean into another fight, levi led mikasa out of the dining area and back into the dorms. levi enjoyed doing side projects every now and then. not long after they had arrived into camp, he had asked mikasa if she could teach him the native language of her clan. before the passing of her parents, her mother had taught her the basics of kanji, a strange language he had never seen before. he had wanted to embrace every part of mikasa since she was his important person.

levi wasn’t good at writing so mikasa had him practice writing his name and everyone else’s name in the general language most people understood until they were somewhat legible. admittedly, was embarrassed that he was older than her and he needed her help with something so basic but it couldn’t be helped.

“do you still want to join the survey corps with the shitty brats?” he suddenly asked. his hand cramped from the unnatural position he forced it in the last hour.

“you shouldn’t call them that. you don’t know them like that,” she replied cooly while looking over his paper. “my answer hasn’t changed.”

“i don’t have to know them when they’re all you talk about.” he cringed while he spoke. he hadn’t meant to say it like that.

“if you’re so annoyed hearing about them, you should say something. i’m sure it’s not hard for you,” she bit back.

“that’s not what i meant,” he sighed out. “you know how i am with words. i mean, you don’t talk about yourself unless you’re asked about it. even then, you’re so fucking vague about your answers. i’ve known you years and i still don’t know a lot about you.”

even though they had been attached by the hip for the last few years, he still felt like they were strangers sometimes.

“you never ask about me, either,” he continued. “weren’t you scared shitless back then? are you still scared now?”

there was a short pause between them. mikasa let out a small chuckle.

“i was joking. i know what you meant but i didn’t know you felt like that. there are times i want to ask you about your past but i thought you’d be uncomfortable sharing that with me. i shared a piece of my past with you of my own accord. i’m not expecting you to share everything with me.”

levi folded his arms. he leaned further back into his chair.

“when you say it like that, i sound like an asshole. but you still didn’t tell me if you were scared of me.”

mikasa placed the paper back on the desk and gave a smile.

“i was afraid at first, but after that, i got the feeling that you were more afraid of me than anything else,” she replied with a smirk. levi threw a smirk of his own. he decided to save the military police conversation for another day.

before mikasa lived with the yeagers, she would have a hot cup of tea if she was stressed. her mother used to make the tea using the herbs from the small garden they grew. she frowned at the thought of her mother. that was only possible if she could find them but she remembered her mother had told her that they were only found on the mountainside.

the pained expressions of her mother and father filled her head for the last few days but mikasa kept to herself. living with the yeagers was nice, but she still felt alone. the family had welcomed her with open arms and warm smiles. she was beyond elated to have a family again.

she felt sick to her stomach from even looking at the men in the shiganshina neighborhood. she tried her best to avoid eye contact with any of them since all she could see were the callous hands that had secured the rope binding her wrists to her back - the same hands that enclosed around eren’s throat. she would usually leave the scene at this point but when she remembered how his arms fell to his side, swinging from the momentum, she could feel her own throat constrict.

she still wasn’t getting the amount of sleep she wanted, so when it was dark out, she went for a stroll throughout the camp. mikasa felt the gravel collect in the gaps of her toes, but she continued walking on. she was grateful for the prickling sensations on the balls of her feet and the wind for blowing the scent of old alcohol and the roaming presence of what smelled like the stew from dinner.

she found herself near the watchtower. there were walls surrounding the campsite and she found a grassy patch to sit on. mikasa knew she wasn’t supposed to be out at this time but she needed to take her mind off of her parents.

though she never showed it, mikasa was beginning to have second thoughts about joining the military. she had wanted to live in a small cottage out in the open, similar to what she lived in with her parents. a small nagging voice had told her that she was not going to accomplish that with eren and armin. they both wanted to see the ocean. armin had shown her the books that described the salty waters and at the moment, she felt a sense of motivation swell within her. she too had wanted to experience the feeling of freedom, but she had assumed that she was going to die before she would ever see anything like that.

several times before, mikasa had pondered leaving camp to start a new life. she had no desire to kill titans but if she had to, she knew she could do it. the only thing that frustrated her was how unstable things were. there was no guarantee that she would even see half of the people she trained. she had no idea what the future would bring so any plans she had wanted to make had to be short term.

before the incident, her mother had told her that she would find a man to marry one day and he would work for the both of them. they would find a home of their own and she could spend her days tending to plants, chores, children, or even make her own money. she had been told that she was going to be given a life of security when she got older. as time passed, she realized that not everything would come to fruition.

mikasa heard footsteps in the general area behind her. without moving her body, she angled her head to where the footsteps were coming from. she wasn’t surprised to see that it was levi looking for her. she had gone outside so often in the past that it had become a part of his routine as well. almost as though he could feel her eyes on him, his head snapped to her direction.

“don’t lay there. there’s fucking bugs everywhere.” he made his way to her. even though he had a strong dislike for dirt, he found the cleanest area next to her and sat down.

“don’t you care that your dress is going to get dirty?” he inquired. mikasa rolled her eyes.

“i’ll just wash it after. it’s fine. i could say the same for you.”

“i’m only here because i’m trying to get you back to bed.” a small part of mikasa felt guilty for dragging levi into all of this. if she was having doubts about the future, she couldn’t imagine how he felt. she had assumed he had goals of his own that he wanted to see accomplished. she was forever grateful for their friendship. she just didn’t want to make him feel like he had to stick with her like this.

“i couldn’t sleep, so i figured some air would be nice.” she could hear levi sigh in irritation.

“can i ask you something?” levi didn’t respond. she would ask him anyway.

“why did you come here?” she turned her head to him to indicate her full attention was on him.

“because you’re here.”

“levi, you don’t have to be here. you can-”

“shut the fuck up. i don’t need you to tell me what to do. if i want to leave, i’ll do it. but since i’m here, there’s no need to ask me to stay.”

“i don’t want to make you feel like you have to stay.”

“i’m here because you’re here. i don’t know what kind of sugar colored shit you want me to say for you to get it. if you leave, i’m going with you. before i met you, i didn’t know what i was going to do with myself. i didn’t have any plans so i was just going through the day, looking for the next meal. i don’t know why i am the way i am. if anyone else saw me, they’d lose their shit. but you saw me. you didn’t react the way you were supposed to. those nights when you told me about yourself made me feel better. it sounds fucked up but it made me feel like i wasn’t alone because you were going through shit too. i trusted you enough to show you what i really looked like and i was scared shitless before that.

“then you asked me for my name and where i came from like you gave a shit about me. i didn’t understand why you wanted to be friends with me then, and i still don’t understand why now. but i’m glad. but i also don’t want to be because what if you change your mind? i don’t know how to deal with that. you’re the least shittiest person i know on this bitch of an earth.

“i don’t know what the extent of my strength is but i don’t want you to get hurt by it. if i can keep you safe, i’m happy with it. if you’re not happy here, we can fucking leave and start a shop or something and be civilians. if you want to stay, then we’ll stay.”

“i understand that,” mikasa said slowly, as though she were chewing through her words. “there’s so many other people out there that you can form a bond with. i don’t want you to hold yourself back for me. you may not have the best attitude but - “

“did you hear what i just fucking said?” levi interrupted. “i just gave you a long ass speech about my feelings and that’s all you have to say? i just need you, that’s it. you don’t need to be dramatic and sacrifice yourself for my happiness. i’m fucking grown so i can make my own damn decisions.” levi found it unbelievable how stupid mikasa could be. she was on top of every activity and subject in the camp but she had no common sense.

he understood what she was saying, though. she had wanted him to be free and live his life the way he wanted to. she really wasn’t in any position to tell him anything about living his own life since her hold on eren is keeping her from living a normal life. they’d both be safer in the inner walls, levi thought. by the time they graduated from training, he needed to convince mikasa to go into the military police with him. she deserved better than having to prove her worth in the survey corps.

Complexion: a light olive (like mila kunis/penelope cruz) but shes hella pale rn

Body type/Build: slim (but she’s got some hips)

Height: 5’4

Weight: 90-100 lbs

Breast size: 34B (they seem bigger on her since she’s so tiny but its a good handful)

Facial Hair: none (well-eyebrows and like baby hairs)

Scars/Birthmarks/Prominent Features:

Scars

She has a scar about 5 cm on her chest from when she was once attacked with a bottle while on the streets (but really it happened when she killed her dad…oooh plot twist), and a few cigarette burns on her arms from her dad as well

Birthmarks

She has a tiny one in the shape of a heart on her cheekbone- like scarlett Johansson

A birthmark the size of Tommy’s palm on her right buttcheek—its light brown (Tommy says it was a sign that he was meant for me because it’s the perfect size of his hand)

Preferred hand: Righty,

Health: she was malnourished as a child and teen so she’s slim and has a problem with eating food- like she likes to store food cuz she’s always worried she will one day have none

Phobias: she is kinda afraid of the dark, but the fear dwindles the longer she lives with tommy

Addictions: she eventually becomes addicted to cigarettes after living with Tommy

Mental Disorders: slight anxiety but nothing too maladaptive

Attitude: she seems pretty meek and quiet when you first meet her so many underestimate her (also because of how small she is). but in reality she has a non-nonsense attitude and is not at all afraid to speak her mind. she’s kinda like a less exuberant Tatiana

Expressions: when she’s nervous she scratches at the scar on her chest and nibbles on her lips

Residence: she used to live on the street and would get a room when she could afford one, now she lives with Tommy and his wife (Erika)

Political Affiliation: she doesn’t know enough about politics since she’s not educated and hasn’t worked in any organization or legitimate place. plus she’s an immigrant (came to England as a child)— but probably more communist since she hates Imperialism and the imbalances of capitalism

Friends: Erikas character is one of her friends (she found her on the street and took her in since she was so young (but really, she was 19 just looked so young since she was so malnourished), she’s also pretty close to Finn, and Isiah because they are close in age (eventually Michael but she doesn’t really get good vibes from him and so avoids him) but she doesn’t spend much time with them since she’s so busy

Enemies: she HATES the Russians because they’re the bourgeoisie and ran the Jews out of Russia

Boss: Erika is kinda her boss (She help look after the kid and work around the house to earn her keep) but Tommy also sometimes uses her to help in business (he once tried to set her on Kimber and Erika bitched him out for it, but she’s still willing to help because she’s cunning and has a good eye for who tommy should/should not trust)

Pets: She has one dog (Nochka) who was a stray that she found and bonded with, Nochka is like her little guardian (She is a mutt and kinda like a scruffy collie; see picture)

Finances: PISS POOR, she’s living on the streets, stealing when she can (which she doesn’t like but a girls gotta eat), she wants to work but finds it hard since all the men came back, so sometimes she has to work the streets out of sheer desperation)

Marital Status: not married

Sex Life: HECK YES. I want her to smash Alfie cuz she’s a Jewess and Tommy sets them up (he figured since Alfie is such a loud mouth and she was Jewish, he would tell her all his secrets- which he did since its Alfie)

Lovers: so eventually she is going to become Tommy’s mistress (but not at the beginning since she’s young and he doesn’t trust her), though eventually as they spend more time together (because she starts to work for him) he starts to trust herm talk to her about business, and develop feelings (he’s an older man though and feels weird about it at first and doesn’t want to take advantage, but she makes it clear that the feelings are reciprocated)

Turn-ons: she’s kinda a masochist (her abuse from when she was young left her kinda damaged so she likes pain, but she also likes giving it since she sometimes also has a power kink

Turn-offs: she hates men with dirty hands since they remind her of her father (she makes sure Alfie washes his hands thoroughly before the bang bang)

Dom or Sub: she’s a switch– usually she’s more sub cuz of her masochism, but she knows when Tommy is being to hard on himself and needs to take the reigns herself)

Fantasies: if you want this written or at least known go ahead but i can’t promise it will be apart of the story, there is only so much time and so many episodes y’know!

Occupation: she’s worked as a seamstress and a prostitute, but now she’s whatever she needs to be for Tommy and his wife (babysitter, maid, trojan horse— meaning that Tommy sometimes uses her to get info from his enemies, kinda like lizzie in season 2)

Income: she doesn’t have one for the beginning since she’s getting to live with Tommy for free, but eventually he starts paying her because he knows how much she needs to have money saved to feel safe

Work Experience: seamstress, factory worker, child-care worker, prostitute

Religion: she grew up in Judaism but she doesn’t identify with it (If a god put her through what she went through then it’s not a god she wants to worship)

Criminal Record: she’s been arrested for theft and solicitation but because everyone thinks she’s so young she’s never been to jail for long

Morals: she tries her best to be a good person, she doesn’t like picking on the little guys, but doesn’t mind knocking the big ones down a few pegs. She also knows that morals sometimes get in the way when you need stuff (she would steal and sell herself when she needed to) so she’s not fused to her morals

Main Goal: she just wants to get out of her destitution and feel safe somewhere. Once she feels safe in Tommy’s home and begins to trust him, she becomes loyal as a dog (Russians are fiercely loyal). She just wants to be happy and healthy and safe

Ambitions: her only ambition is to better her life and protect the ones she loves, she is willing to kill if she has to

Regrets: she doesn’t really regret anything, she believes that things happen as they will happen and it’s pointless to regret and worry about things (she’s a total Russian)

Secrets: her dad died “in a bar fight” but in reality she killed him. After the mum died, her dad would get drunk and mistake her for her mum and assault her, her brother used to help but when he went off to war it was just the two of them, and she killed him and that’s how she became homeless. No one except Tommy knows what her dad did to her, and what she did to him.

Best memories: anything to do with her mum, her and her mum used to garden and go to the beach, so when she moves in with Tommy, she asks very kindly for a small garden in memory of her mama.

Also the first time that Tommy smiled at her (she was admiring his horse one day when she thought he wasn’t around, and she fed the horse an apple, and she heard Tommy chuckle because of how amazed she was with the horse eating it, and it was the first time she saw him smile at her– this was back when she first moved in and Tommy didn’t trust her)

Worst memories: literally all of her life from when her mum died to when Tommy’s wife took her in

Hobbies: she’s started smoking since she’s moved into Tommy’s (it’s silly but she started smoking so they would have something in common, she was always smitten by him)

Skills: she’s really good with knives (duh she’s Russian), she’s also really good at languages and picking them up, accents etc. (but this isn’t like essential i guess), she’s also very stealthy and sneaky

Likes: LOVES READING and gardening so much, and just hanging out by water and laying down on the grass and just relaxing and feeling safe, she loves the sun (which sucks cuz lel it’s Birmingham and England), LOVES baths (and loves having them with Tommyboy)

Dislikes: she hates when people are rude to those who have less than them,

Superstitions: SO SUPERSTITIOUS SHE’S RUSSIAN (but not superstitious about anything to do with cats, she loves all animals)

Quirks: she talks to herself a lot

Guilty Pleasures: she LOVES sweets. Like if there is a sweet in the house for Tommy’s kids, she’s eating them. She saves up what she can just to buy sweets and when Tommy is feeling kind, he brings her back some and just acts all chill and non-chalant about it, but loves how excited and happy she reacts every time)

Strengths: she’s strong and capable, she’s smart and knows how to read people really well

Weaknesses: she doesn’t trust anyone really

Languages: Russian, English, Yiddish/Hebrew, she’s picked up French from Erikas character and thus find its easy to pick up other romance and Slavic languages- at least she has a rudimentary knowledge of understanding (she cant speak most but she can listen)

Accent: English, Brummie

Speech Impediments: none

Voice:

Reputation: she has a pretty poor reputation, since she was a nuisance to most of society while on the streets, now she has a reputation for being Tommy mistress, which means people fear and ‘respect’ her (at least to her face, but to her back, they think she’s just a gold digging whore)

Backstory: KAY SO, what I was thinking was, Ekaterina and her fam, emigrated from Russia (though really they were like forced because they were Jewish) when she was like 10, and her mum died when she was 11 before they got to the UK. Since her mum died, her dad has been abusing her when he gets drunk (which was very frequent) because she looked like her mama. Her brother used to try to protect her but papa was big and when he was drunk it would be one helluva mess to fight with him. When brother went to war, and it was just her and her dad, it was awful and one day she snapped and she killed him (and everyone just assumed it was some barfight). She stayed in the house for a bit but eventually was thrown onto the streets when the men came back from war and she lost her job. Now homeless, she had to steal, and sell her body to live. She befriended a stray who would stay with her and cuddle her for warmth on nights that she spent on the streets, and the dog became her guardian and security. One day Tommy’s wife saw her and the dog curled up in some corner on the street and legit thought it was a dead child (because she was so tiny), so she took her in to her home (and the dog to since it refused to leave Kit (it was barking like mad until it was let in). Tommy’s wife was nice and at first Kit lied about her age figuring it would be easier to get pity if she were younger and not an adult). Tommy was mad as hell that she let some stranger into the house, but he couldn’t force her to throw Kit out, so she stayed and started helping out around the house (baby-sitting, housework, etc). Tommy, who was suspicious of Kit, ignored her at first, but then started ‘asking’ (read: manipulating, psychological coercing) her to help with the business (used her to sweeten the deal with Alfie and get some deets, wanted her to seduce some potential enemies etc.).

Eventually, as she spend more time with Tommy, they get used to one another, and he begins to trust her and see her worth as a business advisor kinda. He knows that she’s good at reading people and he trusts her to help him out so they become close. Tommy has known that she has been lying about her age for a while and as they get closer, he becomes more and more attracted to her, but feels awks about it since she’s like the young hot nanny, and he’s older (so modest and insecure for someone so beautiful sigh). She obviously feels the same (since Hello it’s Tommy Shelby and god those eyes????), so eventually she just flat out asks him if he’s attracted to her “because I am attracted to you”. And badda boom badda bing, they get it on. She at first feels kinda bad about it because she genuinely loves his wife and owes her her life for taking her in, but she’s still Russian and so thinks that things happen for a reason (so the universe wanted them to all be together because it brought them together). Kitty is definitely the one that gets Tommy the most, and helps him out with the business. She understand him and why he does what he does, but she isn’t afraid to give him shit when he’s being unnecessarily awful.

Her and Tommy’s relationship is very unique– like they are friends and confidantes first and they share everything with one another and trust each other completely. But they also get down and dirty and that’s where Tommy lets out all his kinks (she’s Russian so she judged nothing in the bedroom…nothing).
