triggers: brief mention of death, briefly acknowledged historical trans & homophobia
fleur was born and raised in san francisco. adopted by a wealthy couple when she was still an infant, she never knew the meaning of the word âwantâ until what she wanted was acceptance.
before anything, she came out as bisexual. i donât want to get too historical, but as everyone knows, the 80s were an awful time to make that decision. however, her parents accepted this. there may have been some peer distancing, but her support system still existed -- a support system she feared she would lose when she heard a term and realized an extra layer had been added: she is, and always was, a woman.
behind her parentsâ backs ( not due to them not accepting her, due to the fear that they wouldnât ), she would try on dresses and other typically feminine clothing. she tried her motherâs makeup. even with the littlest skillset, she was gorgeous.
it was then that her mother found her. she was unarmed with excuses... but it didnât matter. her parents were new to the idea, a bit confused, but remained supportive of her. they bought her her own dresses for her birthday and christmas, her mother taught her how to apply makeup. nonetheless, fleur couldnât build up the confidence to leave the house in that clothing -- reasonable -- until her parents offered to take her dress shopping themselves. she could get whatever she wanted. she just had to leave as herself.
so let me fast forward a couple of years. her parents fuckin died, because of course they did, and she was left astray. while able to live off of the money they left her in their will for a certain amount of time, she needed somewhere cheaper to stay. she needed a job. and, most importantly, she needed another support system. and that was when she met xavier.
it was the last year of his life, if i recall correctly, but he radiated warmth and a fatherly love that she desperately missed. he told her she was beautiful, inside and out. he told her she was valid, because she was herself. he told her things she had only ever heard from her parents. everything he said was... like home.
shortly after his passing, she took advantage of his words. her beauty. weâre gonna skip the logistics for right now because i donât have time to look them up adklsjfhalejdks but, by the time she was 23, she was an actual model. 25, a âsupermodelâ. there were details of her life that were kept behind closed doors to the public, it not being the right time period for men to know that the woman on the cover of their magazine was not cis or straight.
but she hated hiding. it felt like she was 15 again, scared and unacceptable. but she was louder now, more confident in herself -- xavier and her parents had heightened that inner beauty.
at 30, she did something quite scandalous: in an important interview, she went off-script. she didnât want to hide her truth anymore.
of course, this got her fired. her agency knew and, with her large appeal, had absolutely no problem with it -- they simply feared the public would. so she resolved, in that moment, to start her own agency -- specializing in lgbtq+ models.
it took it a long time to get it off its feet, almost running into bankruptcy, but, as the years went by, more and more people filed in.Â
she is now back to being a Rich Bitchâą, but continues to occupy the apartment sheâs had for so long to honor xavier.
this was so bad iâm so sorry iâm gonna try to make it better tonight + add some personality and wc tidbits (though, in advance, one would be some models!), but!!!!!!!!!! here r some basics along w some random details bc. ofc i cldnât just do one or the other.
