;; MYRIA SAENGKAEW — AS TOLD.
[ kitty chicha, nonbinary, she/they ] - was that myria 'noi' saengkaew i saw by the lighthouse today? i heard that the thirty year old who has been in nightrest on and off her entire life and works as a mortician at nightrest's funeral home service has a reputation of being effervescent, but also incautious. they reside in stoughton estates & people in town usually associate them with multicolored glow-in-the-dark stars dotting every ceiling and every wall; a private observatory privy to no one else's eyes, giving pieces of yourself over and over again until you're nothing more but a speck upon the earth, and a sharp, desperate hope shining through unshed tears. let’s hope the killer doesn’t go after them next.

history.
born in bangkok to two celebrities; household names from their youth to now, an older brother before her and a younger sister after her - sandwiched between them, for all of eternity.
PREMATURITY; her parents are spiritual, and superstitious - do everything in their power to plan accordingly for her birth, to ensure that myria's just as fortunate as the rest of them; but she's so eager to be out in the world that she's born early, premature.
myria's born on july 13th, at 7:13am - but legally, her birthday's the 12th, at the 12th minute; the fact that nobody dies during labor is a miracle in itself - but that's where her luck ends. she spends extensive time in the care of nurses before being OK'd to go home - and although her parents should be grateful she's alive; her unluckiness only weighs down on their shoulders.
CHILD NEGLECT; maybe they don't mean to ignore her - to dismiss her, to pass her off to nannies and bodyguards (the saengkaews choose to be extra careful after a string of unfortunate events - misfortune always seeming to follow myria like a curse) at whichever vacation house they're at - her family traveling country to country across asia and europe to attend red carpets and movie premieres, to shoot films and shows.
her siblings are always in the limelight alongside them - nepotism serving them well as they rise up to their own success and fame, actors and singers and everything myria's so decidedly not. she's always out of the way, out of light - rarely allowed backstage, lest something goes wrong and its all her fault.
MINOR FIRE; she has a brief stint as a model in her childhood - but myria only makes it three days without one of the spotlights spontaneously overheating and exploding, causing a minor fire on set. after that - her short-lived career ends.
when she's old enough - myria's sent off to their vacation home in nightrest; rarely used except for when the family's especially desperate for a quiet escape - it's just her, her nanny, and her bodyguard in a lonesome mansion, too big for just the three of them. she's enrolled in wardwell - far away from her family, so that her misfortune can't touch them; disguised as wishful thinking that her education will serve her well.
from there on - myria throws herself into a myriad of hobbies and lessons - always learning new things, trying them - trying to improve all areas of her life so that she can one day be as impressive as the rest of her family.
she's happy in nightrest - easy to make friends, myria's nature always cheerful despite the loneliness that surrounds her; she always enthuses about her family's travels, always sings their praise - never mentions the way they ignore her, the way she doesn't exist to them.
myria's off every summer - flying across the world to visit her family, each year the same hope of acceptance on her sleeve, alongside her heart. they try, sometimes - her siblings kinder than her parents, who remain cold - but myria always ends up alone on their vacations in the end.
as she grows older, settles into teendom - heart a steady rebel, always eager for a new adventure, new people to meet and love - myria makes a mistake; she parties too hard, with people a little too older, and ends up making tabloids. it's disgraceful - and myria's sent back to nightrest. she's told to not contact them - that they'll contact her, and that respect is a steep hill she needs to learn to climb.
it crushes her - her family effectively becoming low contact, only birthday wishes and occasional visits; but she still couldn't bring herself to hate them. they're her family - and their best interests are her best interests.
she graduates - and nobody is there to congratulate her. she's an adult - and nobody wants to take her out and celebrate it - to celebrate her. if nobody visits - then nobody knows where she truly is. myria disappears from nightrest for the next several years - she travels the country, taking photos of everywhere she visits, falls in love with various people - though the relationships rarely last, always brief, always whirlwind. myria starts to believe that maybe she's not all bad luck - that maybe they've got it all wrong.
myria finds herself falling in love in california with a struggling film student, wanting to make it big in the world; like how she once dreamed. it's her longest relationship - and she's happy, really truly happy. this is it, she thinks - this is where i'm meant to be, who i'm meant to be with.
DEATH, CAR ACCIDENT; and then a car crash takes that all away from her. while she makes it out with minor injuries and a short hospital stay - her partner makes it six feet under.
after that - myria moves back to nightrest with all of her belongings and some of theirs, too - including the short films they'd film of her, the last things they created together. she's barely 25, but the world's worn her down to bones.
copes with constant partying, never a moment sober - just to escape her mind. after a year of burning through the money her family still sends her monthly - myria spontaneously enrolls in mortuary school, takes up a taxidermy class on the side. at least she can't further hurt the dead - and maybe she can provide them with the company she was never afforded.
currently still resides in her family's vacation home - though most know it just as hers, now. her family still rarely contacts her, rarely visits; but the money keeps coming, so myria's learned to cope. she works at the funeral service - takes great care in her job, even if she's working on two hours of sleep after a never-ending rave.
traits.
most close friends (and even her family) just call her noi - because she was born so small, and it took her a long time to get to her current stature. when it comes to work, and those she doesn't know well - she just goes by myria.
sad on the inside, incredibly cheerful on the outside. a smile hides all the worst secrets; and myria's always smiling, always laughing.
will never badmouth her family - she still loves them so deeply, and still thinks that one day they'll turn around and finally treat her with the warmth she so desperately craves.
clings onto people and will never let them go - endlessly loyal, even to a fault. does not take sides, because she doesn't want to hurt anyone.
chronic oversharer and rambler - will talk for eons if you let her, and is pretty much an open book about everything that won't cause people concern.
can be a little reckless, and a little thoughtless; very much a go go go! person - ask questions later. is always down for anything - rarely says no, or considers the consequences unless they're substantial.
can always be seen at medusa's, dancing away. loves going out - is rarely at home if she can help it.
usually ends up in someone else's bed at the end of the night, even if nothing's happened; myria hates being alone, and tries not to be if she can help it.
has terrible nightmares if she does wound up sleeping by herself - rarely slept when she was younger, because there was no one there to comfort her afterwards.
the walls and ceiling of her bedroom are adorned in glow in the dark star stickers - all different colors; she's got dangling colorful stained glass by her windows, so that it's a constant disco ball of color in her room at all times.
the entire house, in fact - is maximalist. she collects novelty items, and loves kitschy, oversized things that function as other things. like strawberry stools, and giant pencils.
her wardrobe matches it - myria only wears black for the western funerals she attends, and even then there's a burst of color somewhere, from her gloves or her tights.
her hair reflects this too - constantly dying it, but favors either blonde or her natural hair.
cares so much for her job - is pretty much only serious when it comes to that, and other people's feelings.
is by no means a professional photographer, but loves taking photos - loves memories, adorns her walls with portraits of her friends and lovers, old and new. she doesn't want to forget any of them.
selfless when it comes to others - will give pieces of herself away at a whim, and doesn't really think much of it. a people pleaser - is afraid if she disappoints someone, they'll end up leaving her. people leave anyways, but she never learns the lesson.
can be a little overwhelming to others if they're not used to her highly energetic personality. because she's active - hikes, taught herself how to surf one lonely summer. doesn't know how to tone herself down to appeal to quieter crowds.
ALCOHOLISM; umm <3 is what i would consider a high functioning alcoholic. there isn't a day that goes by where she doesn't have a drink, or two - or a few. but she hides it well, always has mints or gum on her. doesn't know what'll happen when people do find out - doesn't want people to look at her differently, or feel like she's betraying them, lying to them, about how she's doing.
DRUG USE; also drugs! usually psychedelics or party drugs!
like she is just never doing well mentally but is always like :D regardless.
like she refers to her 30s as her midlife crisis if that tells u anything. like girlie u have TIME. probably idk
knows so much useless shit. jack of all trades, master of none - knows a handful of languages, and can crochet up something mean - cooking is however, not one of her talents.
sometimes just watches her late partner's films that were never released to the public and like. cries. it's normal!
just. has so much love to give and she wants to give it to everyone. is probably in love with everyone she's ever met, and refuses to see the bad in anyone. constant rose-tinted glasses. thinks she can fix them but like, she cant even fix herself so :/
honestly loves doing taxidermy - its a fun side career, and she loves that she can repurpose animals to have eternal life. doesn't need the money - in fact, is usually throwing her money away on something or someone.
i forgot to mention but. her nails r always changing she Has to hv new ones every week n yes they Will be in fun designs n patterns.
also hs an obsession w fun patterns particularly stars and swirls. loves when they r repeating.
also also has an obsession w dragonflies she doesnt know why <3 just thinks theyre neat n theyre always drawn to her. has tattoos of them like Plural.
relationships.
friends! like soo many friends. an abundance of them. i would say she has more like. good friends than close friends? it's hard to get really close to her, sometimes.
people who think she's like? hiding something? a little suspicious of her constantly cheerful demeanor? because who can be that happy?
enemies, but they'd probably be one-sided 'cos myria can't bring herself to hate anyone unless they're like. the worst person on the planet
other people who don't really like her because she's too intense for them, but she'll still try to wiggle her way into their hearts.
lovers<3 hookups of all tenses, one night stands, short-lived flings and romances. has maybe had one (1) longer term relationship besides her late partner. unrequited feelings on either side, crushes, etc. myria loves love.
like give me a first love from high school that she never really fully got over but pretends she has because that's ridiculous haha they're like old now <3
BIG on partying, so like, give me a squad of people she's usually seen partying with, if not by her lonesome <3
or people she's met while traveling literally anywhere. california friends<3 europe friends<3 asia friends<3 omg? friends of the family?
i love a good ol' grumpy vs sunshine ... let her wear down their walls <;/3
people who are arguably bad people but myria's convinced she can fix. she can change them. let her try.
those who like are familiar with the saengkaew family - either as fans of their works, or someone who's met them personally and is like omg ur family is so cool x and myria's like :D yeah :D
alternatively? someone who knows that her family's kinda shit even though she refuses to say it
childhood friends who've known her for so long and can like. tell when she's not doing that great but she'll still deny it and be like haha whaaat thats crazy x
but ill do literally anything. i dont care. we're wild n free.
