I still really want to write about Blair's Alter in Stars Hollow...
Blair had grown up on tales of her mom's whimsical hometown, Stars Hollow, and her best friend, Kirk. The stories were so outlandish that Blair often wondered if her mom had embellished them. But when she arrived, she realized her mom hadn't exaggerated at all. Stars Hollow was as quirky as described, and Kirk turned out to be the most amazing person she'd ever know. If only she had discovered this under better circumstances.
A few months after Blair turned 16, her parents tragically passed away in a car accident, and according to their Will, Kirk was named her guardian. Her mom insisted on it, knowing Kirk was the best choice. Though he had been informed of this when Blair was born, Kirk never expected it to come to pass.
When Blair moved in with Kirk and his mother, she found herself treated like a maid by Kirk's mom. But for the first time in his life, Kirk stood up to his mother, making it clear that if Blair wasn't treated better, they would leave. His mother, dismissive, claimed that Blair wasn't family and needed to earn her keep. True to his word, Kirk took Blair and left that very night. Lorelai offered them a couple of rooms at the Inn, and the next day, Kirk went house hunting. He used his lifelong savings to buy them a home. He had always planned on purchasing a house for his future family, and Blair's arrival simply expedited the plan.
Eager to connect with Blair, Kirk asked Mrs. Kim for Korean lessons. Seeing his genuine effort and care, Mrs. Kim agreed. Kirk had no idea Blair wasn't fluent in Korean, and she couldn't bring herself to tell him. So, she also sought lessons from Mrs. Kim, keeping up the pretense.
Despite Kirk's dedication and the town's warm welcome, Blair struggled to feel at home in Stars Hollow. That was, until an unexpected encounter with a kindred spirit began to change everything.
