❝I do however believe in beauty - limbs, engineering, things nature does when no one's looking. You standing over me in a lavender dress, buttons on your eyelashes, something warm and sweet in the container of your lips.❞ Clara Deveaux. Nineteen.

“I was nannying today for the cutest little two year old. He was sloshing around in these adorable red rain boots outside today. God, do I miss the simplicity of puddles.”

IT WOULD PROBABLY MAKE SENSE for Arden to at least go to her last set of classes before winter break set in – and, admittedly, she’d woken up with every intention to do just that. Last night’s hangover settled in about halfway through that morning’s shower, however, and caused her to drag her feet over to the on-campus coffee shop instead – too mesmerized by the prospect of tea and cranberry scones to pull herself free from the warmth radiating within the confines of the coffee shop, and endure a string of lectures she barely even understood most of the time. Which was what currently brought her here in that moment – scrunched up in the corner of her favorite booth, blowing cool air against her freshly brewed english breakfast and aimlessly sketching at the empty lines of her notebook. “Who even came up with the idea for secret santa? Like– a. I already have a shit ton of shopping I need to do for my own family, and b. it’s not like everyone doesn’t go back and exchange the gift a week later anyways.” Her list of gift ideas remained blank and forgotten for her own secret santa, and she had no intent to return to it until the night before the upcoming party. Surely, it coud wait a little longer.

It was against Clara’s every ounce of common sense to approach the booth, given everything that had transpired between herself and Arden. But then again, it was against every bit of basic instinct she possessed to have kissed Arden with their last brush of contact. As it appeared, Clara had learned nothing, as she approached the booth, cupping the warm mug of cinnamon tea with both hands, a copy of her latest text to study tucked under her arm. There was a kind of magnetism, a gravitational pull toward the girl that she simply could not resist. How that attraction still played on her emotions, she did not care to entertain the thought. She slid into the booth without a word, offering a gentle smile as she set her mug down on the counter and placed her book to one side. After a rather long pause, Clara deduced that indeed, Arden was making conversation with her. Her eyes remained fixed on the brunette's book, "I think it's a lovely gesture, and a bit of fun. Besides, what harm can be done with a little gift? As they say, the thought is what counts." She raised mug to her lips, taking a sip and stealing a glance up to Arden. "I'm a little stuck myself, as to what to get my person. I've been busy with classes and all, I suppose the same could be said of you?"

“I would not blame them, or you, for associating me with a green furry man with a tiny heart. Have you planned anything for Christmas?”

i’m not sure who is still around rn but my timezone is weird so it’s only 6pm here but i’ll introduce myself anyway

i’m lacey and this is clara and i’ll have an about page up and running about her soon but i’ll give you some dot points to get an idea about her first

⁃ Born in Lyon, France to Heidi and Florence Deveaux. The youngest of four daughters, and the 'surprise' child. (/subtext, a very unexpected pregnancy).

⁃ Her family circumstances are very fortunate. They are of old money, think akin to Tom Buchanan in the Great Gatsby. Her mother was the heiress of a hotel empire.

⁃ Coming from her privileged background, it was difficult to keep her head from floating in the clouds.

⁃ Her parents taught their daughters the power of humility. They encouraged their children to keep from flaunting their status, for the good of their business reputation and for their own safety.

⁃ Clara came to realise her attraction to girls in her first year of lycée. However, it took another year to pass before she came to acknowledge it within herself.

⁃ She came out as bisexual to her sisters first, some more understanding than others.

⁃ Her parents however, were not so calm about her sexuality. They understood heterosexuality and homosexuality, however bisexuality was a mystery to them. The concept of liking more than one gender was beyond their comprehension.

⁃ As time has passed, they've begun to accept their daughter progressively. But there are times that Clara can see their hesitations.

⁃ Due to the business needs of her father, her family moved to Manchester when she entered sixth form. Clara was apprehensive of the move, however, she had little choice in the matter.

⁃ Adjusting to life in Manchester was difficult, however, it was aided by her introduction to MUSE G and MUSE H.

⁃ Upon beginning to date MUSE G, her family were ecstatic.  

⁃ Her choice to major in Theatre came under scrutiny from her parents, and such, has had to minor in Business in order to appease them.

⁃ She aspires to be in stage productions on the West End, though she herself is unsure whether she could ever fulfil such a dream.

⁃ In relation to the dissolution of a friendship and a relationship, Clara holds herself responsible bc if she hadn’t given MUSE H a second look and kissed her/them then she wouldn’t have ruined a long running friendship or hurt MUSE G.

but i’m up for all and any plotting so hmu if you’d like to plot or like this post and i’ll message you!
