TRIGGER WARNING: parental neglect, childhood trauma, abuse, drug addiction, pregnancy, blackmail
A mistake that ruined everything. Those were the words that a young, bright eyed, Bianca Vargas grew up hearing repeatedly about herself. Cursed as the second daughter of Gina Lopez–the one who had shattered any last hope the self fulfilling woman held for a virtuous family with a loving, successful husband. Bianca had ruined everything, according to Gina. The world Gina created for her two daughters had been far too cruel, too toxic, for an innocent child to endure. Void of any tender motherly love and care. Bianca would never know her father, at least not more than drunken stories her mother would force her to endure, with the details altered during each retelling. A surgeon, an architect, an engineer, a motorcycle stuntman–she’d never known which version was the truth.
What Bianca would know was a life where Gina would set her two daughters in opposition to one another. The only other human being that Bianca knew shared the same experiences and trauma, would be made to be her rival amidst an already lonely household. Both would take last place in their mothers eyes, with men and her own pursuits of joy reigning first constantly. Her daughters were treated more like secondary income supplementals to exploit and control. A cold atmosphere of neglect and disconnection hadn’t allowed the innocence of either girl to last long. And Bianca would learn early that no one would provide her with the protection and love that she needed.
Until someone finally had shown an ounce of that love Bianca had craved all her life. He’d been 24, she’d been 20. Having somehow made her way through high school and onto a college campus; delayed but still there. He’d said he was studying to be an engineer, just like she was, he was captain of the football team, but none of that held a torch to the mediocre love he had shown a young girl desperate for affection. Despite quickly coming to the realization he wouldn’t be much safer than her own mother, Bianca had still agreed to move in with him with the consideration that anything would be better than that house.
Her new life wasn’t much different than her childhood. Rather than her mother controlling and belittling her every move; it was now a man who claimed to “love” her. It hadn’t been all bad, though. The rare moments of warmth and love he’d provided her reminded her of the man she’d met that first day on campus, the same one who had promised to protect and love her. And though he’d changed, rather quickly, it was still more than she’d received from her mother. But there would be no protection when the money she’d worked so desperately hard for would go to supplementing his drug addiction, or his other girlfriends. There would be no protection when an argument over nothing resulted in bruises and injuries over her body. There would be no love or support when she was struggling to complete her degree due to the jobs she worked during the nights that felt too long; from escorting, to bartending, to waitressing.
Reality would hit with two lines on a pregnancy test. At 25, Bianca found herself upending her entire life. The decision was made; she would stop at nothing to map out the life that her child deserved. No matter how she would have to do it. Her child would never endure the life she had. Not a sliver of it. Except for the fact that her daughter would never know her father. But it was a small price to pay to rid them both of the toxicity. From that moment forward, Bianca’s entire life would be dedicated to her daughter.
Bianca had envisioned a life outside of the nightlife industry she currently worked in. However, when she had attempted to quit the opportunity had been presented; the money, the rewards, the ability to make it in life on her own. All of it had been more than she’d foreseen for herself. She’d only waitressed at the high stakes poker games up until that moment. And she had hardly been reluctant to agree to manage the games despite the “underground” nature of the unregulated operation. It was meant to last only a few months-the first trimester of her pregnancy-where she could save enough money to provide for her daughter. But, Bianca’s life never seemed to align with her plans.
Once again, she found herself controlled; the attempt to leave her position would be met with objection. For she’d seen too much. Known too much, in her short time of employment. More reluctant than ever, she’d stayed once again in a situation that would continue to cut from her ability to live life by her own accord. As her daughter grew, so would the urgency to leave the industry. She’d made and saved more than enough money to be able to complete her schooling all while providing a beautiful life for Gisele. Though it wouldn’t be so easy-with the threat of losing her daughter to an abusive ex as the highest consequence.
𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐍𝐒.
She never completed her degree properly, so she's currently looking into how to resume her studies for a final semester to get her engineering degree.
Her daughters name is Gisele and you will always find her wearing a little gold G initial necklace.
She has no idea who her father is but is getting a little curious to find out. Although she does not have high hopes bc of her bad luck with parental figures.
Her mother is currently attempting to get back into her daughters' lives and they're both highly opposed to this.
Barely sleeps, this woman runs on like 4 hours of sleep a week. Will live off of coffee and tequila when working though.
Holds a grudge forever!! Wrong her one time and she's never forgetting!
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒.
Found family / childhood friends / best friends — self explanatory but i think bianca will be extremely attached to people who have lasted a long time in her life bc she doesn't get that often!! so anything & everything is appreciated!!
Clientele from the casino or from when she was escorting
Met in college before bianca disappeared from classes — this would have been right around the time she got pregnant and left her abusive bf so your ch could have known or not known the full extent of the situation!
Co workers at the casino or past jobs (waitressing, bartending, escorting)
Friends through family / their kids — her sister is Anisa Torres and she helps take care of Gisele most of the time so anyone around would know of Bianca and her daughter
Past flings/hook ups/exes
Neighbors — either can’t stand eo bc her kid won’t stop blasting cartoons at 6:30am on a saturday or the sweet neighbors who will offer to babysit ???
