Moving her head left and right Josephine let out an ‘oomph’ when her beck cracked. “This is the only thing I don’t miss about travelling, feeling all stiff and wanting to stay all day in bed. But you know, work and kids doesn’t give you that option.” Josephine sighed although she was glad to be back home. “Any flash news during these three days I was gone?” She asked with a hint of amusement in her voice as she doubted she missed something important or interesting in three days.

A chuckle escaped past her lips. She knew what she was talking about, although feeling all stiff never stopped her from leaving the hostel she was staying and wander around, of course, those days were in the past now. "Well, now we have Oreos milkshakes at Star Diner. I don't know how exciting is that on your scale, but it's a pretty big deal for me," Anya replied with a warm smile. "Where have you been?"
“I can’t wait for Thanksgiving, ya’ know? Lots of food and drinkin’ and their leftovers, football, nap all day and of course, you get a first row show when your relatives begin to shove the favors they did to each other faces.” Ace laughed, rubbing his hands. “This year’s gonna be fucking great I’m tellin’ ya’.”
@frostfordstart
Anya still had very vivid memories of the last time she celebrated Thanksgiving, two years ago. Now as the date approached she tried not to think much about it. With her mother ill and the mess that her life was, she couldn’t fathom the idea of feeling thankful. Still, she tried to keep the appearances and forced a smile upon her face. “Sounds like you’ve been waiting for this,” she replied with a soft chuckle. “Is that usually how all your Thanksgiving go? Ya know, relatives shoving favors into other people’s faces?”
After the morning rush at Wild Flour with sleep deprived workers and feral grandmas crowding around for freshly baked loaves things tended to die down in the cafe. They’d recover, clean, and then fire up the ovens for more intricate orders like birthday cakes, or scones or (her favorite) cupcakes. By late morning, it was dead, and she was brewing her second cup of coffee her fingers duster with flour. She slipped around the front of the shop with a platter of shortbread cookies, sneaking a few for herself as she went to go wrap them. She had a mouthful when the door jingled upon. “Oh shit,” she muttered around the cookie. Everyone else was in the back. She swallowed. “I mean, um, good morning.”
If it was up to Anya, she would rarely leave the house. She knew that at some point she will have to get over the shame and deal with the consequences of her past. It was moments like these when she wanted nothing more but to be away and not in a small town where everyone knew her name and what she’d done. She’d made sure to leave her house at a time she knew most people had finished with their daily errands, and so, she went straight to the bakery to buy her mother some baked goods, hoping that would help her feel better. “I’m awfully sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” Maybe next time she should try to be less stealthy. “I hope it’s not too late or anythin’ but would you happen to have some brownies or perhaps red velvet cupcakes?”
“I just finished training my assistant manager… which means, I am officially on vacation. Which means I can actually do normal things and be fun. Problem is, I don’t do a lot of ‘fun’ things any more.” Marsh looked down at his lunch, taking another bite and sighing. “What do people do on their days off? Watch TV, I guess? I have a whole week off. Should I get drunk?”
@frostfordstart
"Who or what took the fun out of you?" she asked, arching a brow as a small smile appeared on her lips. "I could give you some TV shows suggestions but I feel like staying all that week inside your house should not be counted as fun. Sure, getting drunk is always an option, and I assume you don't mind the hangover but are we really sure there's nothing else left to do than those two options?" Anya rolled her eyes and let out a sigh. "That's just... meh."

BASIC INFO
NAME: Anastasia ‘Anya’ Belrose
GENDER: Female she/her
DATE OF BIRTH: June 18, 1988 (31)
PLACE OF BIRTH: Birmingham, Alabama
OCCUPATION: Dentist
ORIENTATION: Panromantic, Pansexual
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single
BACKGROUND
tw: death
anya was raised in frostford, the middle child of gregory and ivanna belrose. their parents moved to frostford from birmingham when anya was just a few months old. he worked as a dentist and her mom stayed at home.
the belroses are a middle-class family, her father's job allowed them to have a decent life but far from lavish. her mother is of russian origin, her parents immigrated from sochi a few years after she was born. therefore, anya and her siblings speak fluent russian.
a bright young girl, anya never seemed to fulfill her potential. she's always been very smart but her grades didn't show that since she often got distracted talking too much.
sooo restless. she needs to be active all the time, otherwise, she'd go crazy.
like most people who come from a small town, her biggest dream was to leave frostford and travel the world.
the best way she could accomplish that was through college, and so, she finally left town a few weeks after she turned eighteen to attend college in boston.
all her life, her father tried to spark her interest in dentistry and he thought he'd succeed when she agreed to major in pre-dental. however, just a few days after she arrived at college she switched her major to philosophy.
TW: DEATH❗ her father never found out this until her graduation day. he was deeply disappointed which hurt anya, but what hurt the most was his abrupt passing just six months later due to a heart attack.
heartbroken, she decided to make him happy and entered dental school. turns out it wasn't that bad and started to grow on her.
she returned to frostford every summer and it was during one that she began a relationship with another boy, one that she'd known since they were kids. they remained together throughout the four years of dental school and the day of her graduation he proposed.
the wedding was just a few weeks away when she started to have doubts but people kept telling her to push them away and she did, until the wedding day.
everyone was waiting for her and right there she knew she couldn't do it. she said she needed to go to the toilet and escaped. people tried to contact her for days but by the time they did she was already somewhere in europe.
two years went by without her stepping foot in frostford, too ashamed and afraid to be judged for what she did. however, two weeks ago she received a call from one of her siblings to let her know that her mother was seriously ill.
she moved back a few days ago, ready to take care of her mom and will start working as a dentist
anya is a very optimistic person, but she has some commitment issues and gets bored easily. she is a mess and she's still trying to find a place in this world although for now, that has to wait.
