full biography on this page. biography tl;dr below, TW: physical injury, death
born and raised in seattle, grew up insanely close with her brother who was only two years older than her because they were both heavily into soccer and their parents were super supportive and loving and worked a lot to sustain their kids passions. their dad was hard on them, moreso her brother than herself, and fitz always found herself striving for her father's attention. in her junior year she suffered an acl injury when she was trying to look for her father in the crowd after he promised he would show up, and after two surgeries to fix her up, the doctors said that she would never be able to play the way she did before. it shattered her dreams and what she thought was her future, a career as a soccer player, and so she isolated from her family and friends because she didn't know how to be her old self around them again.
her senior year english teacher took her under her wing and essentially saved her life by bonding with her and encouraging her to pick up reading as a hobby, and she found a reason to keep going by escaping into story after story. the wedge between herself and her family grew, and she came to see her mentor as more of a mother figure in her life, especially after graduating and continuing spending time with the woman.
she encouraged fitz to start writing, and so began her novelist career under the moniker 'margie fitz'. after her first two books, the third she came out with became quite popular and the sequel to that blew up on the internet. between writing her trilogy in the series, and fifth book overall, the mother figure in her life passed and left everything in her name.. including a house in bradford springs. she moved out to feel closer to the woman she considered her only family, and has been settling in town as a bartender at valentine's as she cleans up the house left in her name.
fun facts!
pinterest here ♡
she’s become somewhat of an impulsive liar over the years to cover her true occupation
she’s quite competitive and will often make the same drink as one of her coworkers and tell their customer to try hers instead because it’s better, but she pays for the second drink so it technically doesn’t count as lost inventory LMAO
found family is a very important concept to her, and she’s really hoping to find some friends in town because she moved all by herself and has very strained relationships with her parents/brother so she’ll take what she can get tbh
she smells like patchouli and coffee, except for when she reeks of alcohol after her bartending shifts
a few years ago she adopted a sweet tri-color border collie and named him 'froyo’. affectionately nicknamed him frodo, baggins, baggy, yoyo.. and of course, in times of distress, will call him by his full name- frozen yogurt fitzgerald of the nine fingers.
