okay her dad comes from a long line of journalists and is the current publisher for the new york times and chairman of the new york times company, which is a position that has been passed down through her family for generations. meanwhile her mother is self-made to some degree ( i mean she did come from nothing but then married rich ) and is known for being a successful model and a not so successful actress
she has two older brothers who were raised to one day take her father’s place, essentially. and aubrey herself was just sorta looked over because she was the baby and the only girl and they were like “eh, she doesn’t have to really do shit except be there and look good for the cameras when the press comes for us”
grew up as a big fan of movies and used them as a sort of escapism from her rather lonely upbringing. eventually decided that she wanted to be in movies one day and put all her energy into making that dream a reality
once she graduated high school, she left for la where she tried to breakout into the acting scene on her own accord ( so without mommy and daddy’s money and connections ) but things didn’t come easy for her
she eventually got her big break when casted in a netflix franchise, her contract being for a total of three movies. the leading lady role helped get her name out there and she went from a nobody to a somebody in the entertainment biz. but all that popularity from the films has led to her often being type-casted which she doesn’t enjoy. plus the media loves to draw comparisons between her budding acting career and her mother’s failed one which is also less than ideal
feeling frustrated with where her career is headed, aubrey moved back home to new york just in time for new years and has been trying to adjust to being here ever since. it’s been about five years since she was last living in the city so she has some catching up to do. and while it’s nice to be surrounded by places and people that knew her from before, she’s mostly focused on finding her spark again-- the one that got her so determined to try acting in the first place
so she’s incredibly ambitious and is hoping to have that fire lit up in her again after going through a roller coaster of emotions over the last few years with the rise and plateau of her acting career. kinda not here for shenanigans and has major type-a tendencies, but it’s highly likely that she’ll still get up to no good

gimme everything please & thank you , i am fully prepared to love you all down with plots & musings <3 but to give y’all some specific ideas
on the platonic side of things: childhood friends, family friends, best friend, good influence, bad influence, confidant, social media mutuals, fellow movie lover buddies
on the romantic side of things: exes on good terms, exes on bad terms, exes that still hook up, the one that got away, childhood crush, current crush, casual hook-ups
other fun ideas could be: co-stars, rivals, pr friendships, enemies, frenemies, neighbors, ex-friends, secret friend, cousins, models for her photography, people that she enjoys her hobbies with ( which include shopping, reading, yoga, and soul cycle among other things )
aubrey was too prideful to rid herself of her heels before stepping foot inside the apartment despite the fact that they had been killing her for hours at this point . but as soon as the door was closed behind the two of them , she let out a sigh of relief and started getting comfortable in the entry way-- jacket and heels removed in an flash . “y’know , i’m proud of you . you made the smart choice of coming home with me tonight instead of that douchebag , she voiced her opinion to her friend . her belt came off next and the items were left haphazardly around her apartment . “i didn’t even have to use the handcuffs ,” she joked before turning to alexis with a playful glint in her eyes , “which is sort of a shame . you’d look good in ‘em .”
“thanks for doing this , by the way ,” aubrey spoke with the upmost gratitude . the wannabe-photographer stood fiddling with the lighting in the middle of the studio booked for their impromptu shoot . “normally i just get one of my friends to pose for me or capture nature shots . it’s not everyday that i get to work with a professional model .” it was both nerve wracking and exciting learning experiencing . “how’s the costume working out for you ? need me to make any adjustments before we start ?”
“so i went to visit my parent’s place the other day to take some stuff from my old room to my new apartment and you’ll never guess what i found ,” aubrey announced before pulling out a small collection of photos taken over a decade prior . sprawling them out over the table with a fond smile , she pointed to a young silas . “who’s that little cutie in the cool bucket hat ?” even back then aubrey was snapping photos of silas for fun .
𝐚𝐮𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐲: i'm glad, b. i know you're going through it and i'm hard on you sometimes but it's because i want whats best for you and the shit you're doing right now ain't it
“you wouldn’t lie to me , would you ?” aubrey’s tone remained even but there’s a hint of desperation in her eyes . exhausted from the tug of war happening inside her own head , she’s resorted to asking the opinion of others-- basically setting herself up for disappointment . “just tell it to me straight ... do you think i could pull off being a blonde ? or should i just stick with whatever color i’ve got going on now ? because i’m kind of sick of the brown but also i don’t want to do anything drastic .”
