bullet bio.
Carina's family has been in Aurora Bay for generations. Her dad now runs her great-grandfather's construction company, although it's quickly going the way of many small businesses these days
She was a happy, bubbly, imaginative kid who made friends easily but also sought solitude, often in the woods, talking to animals and picking flowers and exploring
Her older brother passed away just before she started high school after falling in with the wrong crowd for several years. He fell off a roof where he and his friends were drinking the summer before Carina started high school
Sensitive and clingy, she sometimes had a difficult time with friends who felt suffocated by her neediness. This is still something she struggles with but she's learned healthier boundaries as she gets older
Her first boyfriend was instant infatuation that turned into fights and finally him breaking up with her after about a year; she learned a lot of bad relationship habits from her time with him that still show up now
After high school, she went away to college in San Diego for a year before dropping out and doing her Associate's at a local community college while working
Six months ago (as of Jan 2026) she got a new job at the front desk at the vet clinic, and has started thinking about going back to school to get her vet tech degree

headcanons.
Learned some astronomy from her dad growing up; he had a lifelong fascination and taught her how to make star charts (she feels especially connected to it because her parents named her after a constellation)
Has little rituals she's very dedicated to and that feel kind of religious to her: in the morning she always rinses her hands and face with cool water first thing and dabs a little bit of her favorite oil onto her wrists, then sits at her vanity and takes out her braids from the night and puts on her grandma's necklace that she always takes off before bed; at night, she puts her hair in two braids and takes the necklace off, has a cup of chamomile tea and changes into a fluffy pair of socks for sleeping; she also likes to look out the window before going to sleep to check the sky, even if it's a cloudy night with no stars or moon; and probably a bunch of other little ones!
Is very sensitive in a way that's sometimes healthy (very empathetic, very attuned to other people's needs, isn't afraid of her feelings) and sometimes unhealthy (liable to victimizing herself and unintentionally making others feel like they're a bad person for not unrealistically catering to her, subconsciously weaponizes her tendency to cry easily)
Likes and is pretty good at cooking, especially loves cooking for people
Loves taking care of people in general, excellent person to have around when you're sick
Reads a lot but only like high fantasy and romance
Yes she has a tumblr be serious now (half memes and shitposting half unbearably earnest yearnings)
Posts the most random ass shit on her Instagram, full of pics of like a crack in the sidewalk, some fuck ass collection of hair clips, blurry pic of a flower, yet another knitted top from the thrift store
Has a journal that she tries to keep up with but always ends up writing in it like every 3 or 4 weeks. Some entries are stream of consciousness ramblings and poetry, others a compulsive updating about her life as if she's worried about her older self looking back at the journal and not remembering anything
Also has a little journal of star charts and constellation drawings etc
The type to doodle in the margins everywhere, her textbooks at school were almost illegible
Wears a lot of thrifted stuff, soft fabrics, lacy, knitted, worn hems, skirts and dresses, etc
Can come off as very naive because of how soft and sensitive she is but it's actually less naivety than it is an extremely stubborn refusal to let the world rob her of her softness
full bio.
Carina wasn't the first Ferren born in Aurora Bay, and she certainly won't be the last--although she's always hoped she'll be able to go off and see the world before putting down roots like her parents and their parents before them. In fact, the house she grew up in in Seabrook Quarter was built by her great-grandfather, whose small construction company is now run by Carina's dad--and quickly going under.
She wasn't necessarily a quiet kid, but she wasn't a boisterous one either, especially not compared to her brothers. Carina was always likely to be found exploring the woods and talking to animals and picking flowers, neglecting reality for fantasy and living in her massive, dreamy inner world. Pretty bright and bubbly, she made friends relatively easily and her friends continue to mean the world to her, but she craved (and still craves) that time alone inside her head, too.
(drugs, death tw) As Carina entered her teenage years, things got hard. Her older brother was a troubled teen and fell in with a bad crowd in high school, and when he was 17 he died falling off a roof where he was drinking with his friends. It was a terrible time for the family, and Carina retreated heavily into herself for quite a while, entering high school bogged down by the tragedy. (end tw)
Not a religious person necessarily, Carina did however find some kind of solace in connecting with her spirituality after losing her brother, enjoying the idea of some unknown higher power existing on some plane of existence that made her feel less alone in a world that was suddenly terrifying in its ability to snatch people away from her.
High school was equal parts enjoyable and very difficult. She entered it in a haze of grief, but still managed to make friends and try to find the light parts in the darkness. She was clingy though, already had been as a kid and worse after her brother's passing, and she often became suffocating with the people she was closest to; while most of her closest friends learned to navigate this, it went poorly the first time she dated someone. She was needy, he didn't know how to set healthy boundaries with her, she made him feel like a bad person, he accused her of playing victim...and so on, until he finally made the decision for both of them and ended it. It was a devastating heartbreak, but she learned a lot from it.
After high school, she went "away" to college for a year in San Diego and then came back home and dropped out after realizing she didn't really know what she wanted to do, and also finding herself far too homesick. Back home, she got a job at the Sea Glass Boutique and worked on an Associate's Degree at community college. Still not quite sure what she wanted to do but glad to have at least that under her belt, she bounced around a couple different jobs the last two years before a job working the front desk at Seaside Pet Rescue sort of fell into her lap thanks to a friend of a friend of her mom, and she took it with a nascent excitement that made her realize she'd never thought about working with animals before.
She's been at the vet clinic for about six months now and is almost certain she wants to go back to school and get her vet tech degree. She's happier than she's been in years, and even though her family is dealing with her great-grandfather's failing business, it's the first time in a long time that, emotionally, things are pretty good for all of them.
