"had someone ask for a selfie with me today. thought, wow, i'm kinda getting famous for real, huh? when i was walking away, though, i heard them telling their friends that oh my god, they just took a photo with some guy in a boy band who is definitely not me." he chuckles. "i guess i needed that to keep me humble." sighing, they ask, "have you been mistaken for someone else too or am i just that much of a flop?"
‘ i wouldn't exactly call you a flop per se . ’ harsher words than intended slip past own lips , polished with a flash of own pearly whites in attempt to soften blow . ‘ at least you resemble someone who would be recognized ... not to say you wouldn't . ’ arms roll over chest , gaze dropping as a means to collect and reel in unfiltered syllogism . ‘ though to answer your question , no . i'm usually either recognized as myself or completely ignored . so really , i can't tell who's in the more favorable position . ’
“ okay , i have a question ⸺ and you need to be brutally honest with me , but also consider a literal angel sitting in front of you and that you can’t hurt my feelings , ” coffee cup is placed on the table separating them as she finally takes her seat across the other . tongue clicks and for a second she thinks of a way to form the question without sounding out of character , but realizes there’s no way around it . “ would i make a good race driver ? ⸺⸺ and don’t even think about laughing because i have smoking hot coffee and i’d hate if it accidentally ended up on you . ”
‘ you have ... ’ dark hues dart across table and its threatening contents , glossed petals curling into tight lipped smile . ‘ certain qualities that would make for a good race driver . ’ delicately put and facetious in manner , she proceeds to rest interlocked fingers atop surface parting the two . ‘ from what i've seen , they all seem to be quite photogenic and you most certainly check off that box . is your driving good by any chance ? ’
( özge yağiz, cis woman, she/her ) — 🎬 just announced, nihan ergenç has been cast as cleo şanverdi ( cleo sertori ) in the upcoming h2o: just add water reboot. the twenty five year old is trending as people are debating if the earthy scent of rain in the air, prickly sense of bare feet touching uncut grass, hazily waking up to a ray of sunshine kissing your skin and roseate hues spilling lack of sleep that they are known for is enough to make them as good as original. a quick google search shows that their fans call them empathetic, but internet trolls think they’re more imprudent. i guess their newest interview for variety where they talk about how small acting gigs were initially a means to an end to open their own flower shop will let people to know them better.
biography.
despite complications , first whimper sparks in a dimly lit room , with the chilly october breeze wafting through window screens , as nihan is placed in her mother’s arms for the first and last time . through finiancial difficulties , she is brought up by a single father who more than makes up for the lack of a maternal figure they were deprived of much too early .
so far as their loving nature is concerned , father and daughter are cut from the same cloth , they do everything together from house chores to outdoor activities and though barely getting by , he tries to shelter her from reality by making ends meet in less conventional methods - that is until one day she comes home from school to patrol cars parked outside their front door . now barely a teenager , nihan watches kicking and screaming as her father is torn away from her right before her eyes . no matter the kicks and screams , she is given no option but to be taken under her aunt's wing in the states, should she agree to never contact her father again .
a new chapter starts , with the person she loves most locked away and and estranged family members willingly , but harshly looking after her . bright smile fades away and nihan clams up , without uttering a single word for months on end . drowned in her own thoughts , she buries her face in a pillow every day, even though the tears dried long ago . instead of acting up , she carries the heavy load of grief by maintaining an apathetic stance towards anything and everything .
even if there are things she wants to get off her chest , no one is willing to listen or at least lend a shoulder to cry on , which eventually leads to her grades , among other things , tanking . that is when nihan decides to go against her aunt’s restrictions and secretly write a letter to her father . soon enough she receives a response and the resting melancholy starts to dissolve , seeing as this back and forth serves as her wake up call .
after graduating high school with fairly average grades , nihan moves out and into a small apartment in east hollywood , taking up any available job that she can find and the more she surrounds herself with people , the wider her smile grows . it takes a lot of hours of hard work for her to get there , but her dream is to start up her own small business , a flower shop . there is not a job more suitable for such a kind and fragile heart as taking some plain soil and giving it life , watching flowers bloom and taking pride in each and every one of them .
in the midst of odd jobs , she happens to be walking past a movie set in desparate search of extras , to which she happily obliges . soon after , she is approached by a talent scout inquiring whether she would be interested in being managed and promoted as an actress . though taken as a light hearted joke at first , she dials number on the card given and just like that , auditions are piling up . small roles at first , but she gives all she can to each and every one .
as the roles get bigger and she starts gaining some fame , she realizes she can't leave acting on a backburner , while trying to maintain multiple jobs . nihan starts taking this seriously and makes guest appearances in a lot of popular productions , commonly known as the secondary character you take a little too much interest in and you wish you could see more of . her latest project is meant to be her biggest role yet , as cleo şanverdi ( sertori ) in the h2o: just add water reboot .
as far as her personality goes , nihan is the kind of person who brightens up your day , very vibrant , delicate and has a genuinely kind soul , she likes to give love no matter what she gets in return , if anything at all . that being said , she looks very fragile and sensitive , but after everything she's been through , her coping mechanisms couldn't get any stronger .
as much as she can take shit from anyone , she does not appreciate people who try to take advantage of her kindness . relationships that go beyond a surface level are a bit tricky for her , because she doesn’t like sharing things about her past , it all circles back to that one day her father was taken from her and negative emotions start flooding in , which is something she’s not willing to fully come to terms with just yet .
romantic relationships are also not her strongest suit , nihan loves delicately and tends to partners like she would a plant that requires minimal effort . doesn’t show the slightest hints of jealousy , because she is genuinely the type to let people make choices of their own and if said choices are at her expense , she thinks it was simply not meant to be and distances herself .
that being said , at times she feels envious of people who get a rush of adrenaline and fear when they see their partner close to someone else . there’s always an emotional disconnect that doesn’t allow her to fully embrace the relationships she’s been in the past , falls fast when someone is kind to her , but doesn’t know how to develop that initial infatuation into actual real feelings . she wants to make her heart available , but sometimes just doesn’t know how .
however , she is the type of friend who will bring you flowers just to brighten up your day or go out of her way to walk you home just to spend time with you . a lot of kind gestures come to her naturally and she's very affectionate with friends and partners , which is why sometimes the line between friendship and romance can be a bit blurry with her without it necessarily being her intention .
wanted connections.
platonic : best friends who drifted apart , we can figure out the deets but it’s always a dramatic plot and i just need this kind of chaotic energy in my life, frenemies , a classic that never fails to crack me up , nihan is not one to pick a fight... but this person just doesn’t sit right with her and they get the less friendly version , sibling type relationship , just a very pure friendship where they’re there for each other and it’s so nice and wholesome , drinking/partying buddies , ok listen nihan is not a regular drinker , but this person could just trigger something in her.. get her drunk i promise it’s gonna be fun!!!!
romantic : on and off , hear me out nihan is not an anti romantic </3 , in fact , she’s naive and gives second and third chances , which is why she always finds herself going back to that person , even if they both know it’s going to end with them parting ways again , unrequited love/crush , whether it’s on her behalf or the other way around… it’s just a cute concept okay??? esp when it’s one sided and makes me wanna ugly cry , enemies with benefits , because it’s sexy thats it .
misc : bad influence , basically someone who pushes her in the wrong direction and helps erase any progress she’s made so far , neighbors , roomates , besties , slowburns , exes , a good old partner in crime would be nice too!!! get her into trouble and drag her through the mud.. yuh
