bio.
trigger warning: teenage pregnancy, child neglect Airi was born to a set of teenagers that couldn’t handle the pressure of the choices they made. Instead of giving her up like they should have due to them not having any support, they kept her. Moving into a small apartment, she stayed with her parents for four years before she was found on the street with nothing but an oversized t-shirt on. Her parents were later found in a car where both were high on drugs. She was taken into foster care but was almost immediately adopted by Bastian and their husband where she finally became Airi Fernando Rivera. She was loved and doted on from the moment she was brought into their world and she wouldn’t have wanted anything different. From a very young age, she was put into dance classes where she instantly fell in love. It was such a release of endorphins whenever she was on a dance floor whether that was ballet, tap, or hip hop. She knew that this was the life she wanted to live for as long as she could. And along with dancing came the realization that she was interested in girls. While her friends were boy crazy, she found herself looking and thinking about girls the same way. When she was in middle school, she came out to her friends and family who all supported her in ways that she didn’t know she needed. It was during one of her dance classes that she met Reagan - who she had no clue would become the love of her life. They were instantly best friends but come freshman year of high school they were girlfriends. Their bond was inseparable and it had been such a freeing relationship for both of the girls. But tragedy struck the summer before senior year when she had fallen during a dance show and the injury that followed ended her dance career. She recovered but losing her dream was something that she never got over. Thankfully - or I thankfully - her fathers were wanting to move to a small town and out of the city and Airi took that opportunity to get away from the place that held her dreams. The only thing that she missed was Reagan but they decided love was enough and they did long distance for quite some time. They both graduated high school and Airi decided to take time off before going to college but by the time she was 20, her relationship with Reagan had fallen apart. The other woman built a wall up and Airi became tired of trying to knock it down. They went their separate ways and when Airi was 24, she went to a the University of North Carolina where she studied nursing. It was a hard road and she very much isolated herself from friends and family for those four years. With her recent graduation, she moved back home to a small apartment with a job already lined up with Doctor Harts office. She had volunteered many times before she left for college and he had told her once she got her nursing degree a job would always be there. She hasn’t been in town long and she’s excited for what this new chapter was going to bring to her. When she’s not working with Doc, she tends to spend her time home reading or going around town with her camera capturing their small island town to share with the rest of the world.Â
