THE RUNDOWN
-Edith Ellen Tello was born the youngest child and only daughter to Marigold and Javier Tello; she has two older brothers
-the tello's have been fishing in aurora bay for several generations since immigrating to the us from argentina in the 1930s to escape political conflict following a failed revolution. her parents met while her mother, a foreign exchange student from spain, was attending aurora bay college for a semester.
-grew up in Aurora Bay; the Tello’s are known for their fresh and locally caught fish that is supplied to many area restaurants
- always a spitfire, edie had her fair share of trouble in school discipline wise – often sassing at teachers and getting into scuffles in the hallway – but no one could ever say she was a bad student. she often tested at the top of her class and maintained a 4.0 average and graduated valedictorian. as a result, she recieved a full academic scholarship to UC Berkley with plans to study pre-law.
- towards the end of her senior year of college, edith’s father was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. upon graduation, edie put off her plans to apply to law school in favor of staying in aurora bay to help care for her ailing father. even after several surgeries and dependent on an oxygen tank, her father fought stubbornly for five years and tended to his boat and nets religiously until his passing three months ago.
-after spending nearly a lifetime turning down his advances and flirtation, edie began to see ulysses flynn in a different light when she came home from college. after a month or two of fucking in secret, edie ended up breaking her biggest personal rule: never fall for a local. it was big time love, and the two of them were well-matched and content for a few years, until uly ended up in jail for assaulting a man who had attacked edie while she was walking home from the bar one night. they came to an impasse over the future of their relationship in the prison visiting room, and have not spoken since.
- edie has worked as a barista at driftwood coffee for the last three years; while sometimes still taking trips out on her father's boat with her brothers to try and get a decent catch. she’s very serious about her occupation and using her money wisely and making as much as she possibly can while she attempts to help pay off her father’s funeral expenses while also trying to save for law school
-she is currently taking online classes in law, hoping to catch up on some credits and go back to school full time eventually

-karaoke song of choice is ‘breathe’ by faith hill
-occasionally smokes in situations of high stress constantly these days
