LIV. I'm so glad you joined Grimm and that we get to write together here! I love your portrayal of Fawn and am excited to see Wesley's development. You're super easy to talk to OOC and a lot of fun to plot with. What's something that drew you to Fawn's character and something that drew you to Wesley's? – Gracie xoxo

Thanks for telling me about it! It’s been nothing but a great time here and I’m glad that I get to be part of such a stellar group filled with amazing writers and people. 

Fawn was simple, because Bambi was my fav childhood movie growing up, so of course I had to play the role. Wes, was another simple choice just because I wanted someone on the opposite spectrum of the kindhearted and loving Fawn. So easy decision! 

Happy to be here and love you all!

The last relationship Fawn had been in was with this guy from college four years ago. One in which her father actually approved of. Everything was great up until a year post graduation where he landed a big job over in California. Fawn wasn’t ready to give up Grimmbrook for him and so the relationship ended there. Since then, she’d been focused on her work and making her name for herself to pay any mind to any guy who was throwing themselves at her. To make matters worst, it wasn’t easy having Victor around threatening and scaring away people either. It was her friends idea to set her up on this blind date with this Bryan guy. An hour in and Fawn wished  she was anywhere but there at that moment. Excusing herself, she went to the bar in hopes for a stronger drink when she noticed none other than Caleb Myers. 

“Hi stranger. How many rounds do I have to buy you to save me from that misogynistic asshole over there? He thinks that I would be submissive to him, staying at home and merely doing household chores and raising children for him. The nerve,” she muttered as she waved her empty glass to the bartender. “Please, I beg of you. I’ll do anything.” @mcnstrosite​

He smiled widely at her. “You look great. You look like you were born to wear that.” He tossed his helmet between his hands. He wasn’t used to wearing a helmet, but they were all about safety here. Gross. “I’m not going to let you do that, Fawn. You came all this way. You’ll regret it if you don’t try it once. You can’t have hot dogs till you’ve gone.” He moved to stand in between her and the hot dog cart. He would block her path if he had to. At this point, he felt they might as well be committed. They both agreed to this after all.

“Liar. You’re just saying that to ease my mind, which is not working,” she sighed running her hand through her hair. Fawn had been excited all week about going to the class. She had event sent stupid biking memes to Joe in anticipation. Now, they’d gotten here and she felt like she was going to pass out at any moment. The Goldwin was built stronger than this and for some reason she couldn’t shake the nerves off. “You’re being mean,” she pouted, crossing her arms as he stood in front of her and the lurking cart. As she watched the class instructor rally all the students, she looked at him again. “I’ll buy you anything if we just sneak out now. Come on!”

chad-redding​:

He wanted to lash out, just as he had done a few times with the girl already, asking her why she always had to be so critical of him, but Chad bit it back. She was critical probably because she had every right to be around him, as hard of a pill as that was for him to swallow. So instead, he just took a deep breath and tried to think his answer out, trying to anticipate any way he could say something that would come across as a challenge or an insult. “No…this isn’t a tactic or…I’m not trying anything. Well, anything other than just saying sorry and hoping that you’ll accept it as a token of my apology. Doesn’t mean I’m expecting forgiveness I just…figured it wouldn’t hurt to do one nice thing today.” Not that he didn’t think she could purchase her own meal, but who didn’t love having someone pay for your order?

Doing this, trying to humble himself to the point of a legitimate apology felt uncomfortable for Chad as he tried to once again think about what he wanted to say. “I just…I actually came here for some coffee, but then I saw you and figured…maybe, now would be a good time to actually try and apologize, you know? I…honestly hadn’t thought about that whole incident, much. Shit had gotten pretty intense around that time, though he didn’t expect Fawn to understand his conditions of life.

Everything felt strained as Chad cleared his throat then seemed to look right past Fawn as he spoke. “So…what have you been up to? Work on anything interesting?”

“Okay.” He honestly was taking her off guard by this whole kindness routine. Not that he wasn’t capable of such actions, but she couldn’t help but wonder what was in it for him? Was he truly trying to empathize and get to a place where the two of them could exist and be cordial with one another? Either way, she’d just be observant of his mannerisms and feel him out just as her father had taught her time and time again when met with contention from another.  “Why would you be concerned if it didn’t affect you in anyway?” Some people were just wired that way. Not to give a damn about others and the world around them unless if affected them personally in some capacity. It was the mentality that many people thrived on and she was never could see how one could navigate life in such a way. However, it wasn’t her place to judge and all she could do was stay on her own path and treat people well. “Umm...this is weird. You do realize that right?” She didn’t want him to feel obligated to strike up conversation with her, but if he was extending an olive branch the least she could do was be reciprocal towards it. “But, since you’ve asked...I’ve been working on branding for this green energy company out in California which has consumed a lot of time recently. They’re the biggest client yet, so it’ll be huge if they approve of everything, you know?”

He ducked his head, smiling sheepishly as Fawn sat next to him. He brought a hand to the back of his neck. “You weren’t supposed to see me here,” he joked. He didn’t mind if she saw him; he appreciated her company. He felt like they really bonded the last time they were here together. “I have to admit, I had fun. It was nice doing something less common than normal.” In a surprising twist of fate, he was in a good mood. There was still a lot on his plate, but he felt like he was making progress with Madison’s case at the very least. Even if it wasn’t a big step, every victory counted. “I’m good, and I mean it. Things might be looking up.” He knocked his knuckles twice against the bar. He didn’t want to risk jinxing it, seeing as there was still Jillian’s case and the mist. “How are you? Anything new or exciting going on in your life?” 

“I’m not to witness Dan Mickey enjoying himself and not being a closed off stress ball for once? How dare you try to still away from me that joy?” she chuckled. Fawn had really enjoyed getting to know the man outside of just the title he held in his career path. There was always more than people let on and she was glad that she was allowing her the chance to see the different levels that made him peel back a bit. “Less common than normal? You’re so weird you know that right?” He had such an odd way of phrasing things, but she always appreciated. He never ceased to put a grin on her face. “That’s great to hear! Looking up in what way?” After placing her drink order she helped herself to the bar peanuts and was just happy to be in his company.  “Pretty much just been working, which is always good. Make the whole dream of owning my own business one day that more possible, you know?”

Most exercise for Danielle these days consisted with lessons at Esme’s dance studio when she thoroughly avoided Maggie whenever the other was in a mood for an outdoor job. Something strange was going on though and made that next to impossible with most trails were closed to the public with the woods and lake. And she hadn’t wanted to tell anyone what had happened at the cabin the other weekend, leaving her to focus her excess energy on yoga whenever she could afford a class. Or find someone to go with like Fawn who had been up for the challenge as she gave the other a tired smile while cleaning up her own mat and block. “It’s not as easy as some people make it out to look. There’s always an element of strength to hold myself upright and not collapse right here and now on my mat,” she added with an appreciative nod. “Okay good, I thought it was my stomach that I was hearing but if it was yours then I think we’re both in agreement to grab something to eat. Maybe even a drink or two if you’re up for it.”

“I thought I was about to fall on my face on multiple occasions to be honest.” Even for someone who thought they had a pretty strong core and sense of balance, the class was challenging and Fawn was now considering attending on regularly basis in addition to her current workout regimen. “Hey!” she chuckled whacking Danielle with her towel gently at the comment. The Goldwin honestly was trying her best to make it unnoticeable about her growling belly, but food and drinks sounded great. She definitely worked herself up an appetite. “That sounds wonderful!” As they headed out the studio and walked down to the pub, Fawn was happy and content at the small moments. Despite the strange occurrences in town, she was grateful for the building relationships and friendships recently. “Anything new with you as of late? Have you talked to Esme about that potential job opportunity?”

[fawngoldwin]

“Hey stranger. Long time no see,” she waved as she was walking down the sidewalk and noticed Wendy walking in her direction. Last she heard, Wendy was reconfiguring her Etsy store. Her vision was impeccable and Fawn was happy to lend her services in anyway to propel the woman’s dream to become a reality. It was why she did what she did and had so much conviction behind it. “Where’ve you been? You heading somewhere at the moment? I was gonna go grab a bite from Mary’s Garden if you’re free.”  @wendy-miu​

[fawngoldwin]

“I swear, every time I come back in here you spruce it up in some new way. I love the addition of the light fixtures,” she smiled as she took around the dance studio lobby. What Esmeray had done with this place is truly amazing. She remembered when she first got to town and saw the rundown studio, Fawn truly wondered if it was appealing to dance in there. The last thing they needed was the roof caving in. Somehow though, Esme had worked her magic and brought this place back to life. Fawn was happy to contribute with the project by upgrading and redesigning the logos and signage for the dance studio. “How are you doing today? Business starting to pick back up again?”  @esmeraydemir​

[violentgallows]

           “I’m really glad you were able to come out with me today. It’s been — weird, the past few days so I thought that it might be good to do something normal,” she admitted to the other as they finished up one of the last rounds of moves in the yoga class that Danielle sometimes attended. Her own ability to get out of the house had been tested since the weekend away, which left her barely leaving for work and the few people that could convince her back out again. Sammy hadn’t been around as much which left her back in the same lonely hole that she’d been in for months before he’d been released except this time there were people in her life that would text back when she reached out to them. Fawn being one of them as she smiled briefly at the other. “You still up for grabbing something to eat after this?” @fawngoldwin​

[fawngoldwin]

“Yeah, I’m glad you invited me! Although I feel like my limbs are about to fall off, I definitely needed it,” Fawn said as she wrapped up stretching on the yoga mat. To wake up to the news that the woods and lake were closed from civilian activity was shocking. There were a culmination of occurrences that had been happening in Grimmbrook as of late and it felt like everyone was just cruising with their lives as if nothing was happening. The mayor hardly said anything and was navigating as if it was just another sunny uneventful day. However, she was glad to receive a text from Danielle inviting her to attend a yoga session with her that morning. She was more of a runner and swimmer when it came to remaining fit, so partaking in yoga was a bit out of her comfort zone, but still fun. As she took a sip from her bottle she nodded in agreement to getting food. “I am starving. Did you not hear my stomach grumbling periodically throughout?” she chuckled.  

[chad-redding]

Every bit of him was on edge as he had practically stormed out of his home following the detective’s visit. What in the fuck had that all been about? He had given his statements, admitted to all the horrible things him and Madison had done to each other, and yet now suddenly they wanted additional information about them because someone had mentioned a fight? It was bullshit. He didn’t know where he was going, all Chad knew was that he needed to go somewhere and blow off some steam. It hardly surprised him when he found himself at a familiar coffee shop considering it was often where he would go to feel some sense of comfort. One would think plying one’s self with caffeine would have the opposite effect, but Chad always felt at ease when he was there.

That sense of ease was disturbed just a bit when he saw a familiar figure in line ahead of him. Of course she would be here. The lure of the place couldn’t have just captivated him and it wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen her around before. The reminder of what he had cost her – according to her at least – came back to him, causing him to feel a bit of guilt as it did. He hadn’t apologized for it, not really. The best he had given was some half-ass apology where he proceeded to insult her choices in jobs.

With a sigh of resolve, Chad approached the counter, ignoring the shocked look on the cashier’s face as he placed down his card onto the counter. “If you could charge her order to me, please. Thank you.” @fawngoldwin​

[fawngoldwin]

Fawn had wrapped up with a Skype call with a soon to bride and her event planner from Seattle. It was through the grapevine that they had found about the Goldwin, which honestly made her heart feel overfilled with joy. The fact that she was from this random small town, one in which no one could enter or leave at this current moment, was honestly insane. She had been dwelling on the idea that if after this past year she couldn’t really make any waves in the community let alone have enough clientele to support her dreams, she’d have to pack her bags and move to a large city. The only issue with that it was that it’d only bring more competition and for some one who was only beginning to really build up her portfolio, she was sure it was be a tough mountain to climb. For now, business was doing incredibly great and she couldn’t be happier. 

She had worked herself up an appetite and decided to grab a sandwich and a smoothie to enjoy outside since the weather was pretty nice today. After placing her order, she was about to pull out her credit card from her wallet to pay for her items when all of a sudden, someone decided to pay for her meal. About to say thank you, Fawn was left speechless to see that it was coming from none other than Chad Redding. She raised a brow at him as they swiped his card. Moving to the side to wait for her order, she looked at him curiously. “I guess I should say thank you.” Every single interaction that the two of them had thus far had been nothing but short, always leaving Fawns’ blood boiling after being in his presence. However, she’d come to a point where she simply could not give a damn about this guy anymore. “Why though? Is this some sort of forgiveness tactic?” 

[fawngoldwin]

“Okay...I’m starting to regret this idea a little bit,” she said as she came out of the locker room in her protective jumpsuit. The instructors had given them the crash course of safety as well reviewed all the liabilities they would not be responsible for anything were to go wrong. Not that she had envisioned herself flying or sliding of the motorcycle, but now that was the only thing running rampant in her mind. “I honestly may just watch and stuff myself with hotdogs from the cart until it’s over.” @maddoxjoseph
