background (tw; abortion)
jen was mostly raised by her mother in small town in new jersey. she had a pretty normal childhood but never felt like she got the attention she needed from her parents. following their bitter divorce, her mom had a revolving door of boyfriends in and out of the apartment and her dad was preoccupied with his new family.
eventually she started to look for that attention and acceptance elsewhere. she dove headfirst into the social scene at her school–started cheerleading, going to parties, dating–and she quickly realized that attention really wasn’t that hard to come by. in fact, it was pretty easy. especially from the guys
she’d always been boy-crazy but the awakening of her sexuality in high school showed her just how addictive it could be to feel desired. she began thriving on sexual attention, dressing provocatively and acting the part for her dose of validation
but the more her reputation grew, the more validation she seemed to need. it became a vicious cycle, and not one without its consequences.
getting pregnant was hardly the biggest deal–it wasn’t the 50s and she’d been an accident herself–but she there was no way in hell she was having a kid. her mother went with her to planned parenthood and it was sorted out quickly, but not before the ‘friends’ she’d confided in made sure everyone knew.
the punishment hardly seemed to fit the crime, but the ensuing scandal was enough for her to move in with her dad that she barely knew and his family down in north carolina. she only had one year left of school anyway.
she’s had a bit of a chip on her shoulder ever since. after graduation she stayed in the area for college and with her self-worth in tatters she fell right back into the pattern of letting people’s expectations and her own craving for acceptance control her.
she often felt like her behavior was completely out of her control, that she couldn’t stop herself from the choices that brought her instant gratification, especially where sex was concerned. even knowing she wake up with regret, she couldn’t bring herself to stop indulging
her grades weren’t great and her friendships, of which there were many, were surface at best–she drove most people away–but she survived despite the terrible decisions along the way.
though she planned to move back north, perhaps working in nyc one day, she’d gotten comfortable enough and found a job that paid well enough to keep her from making the leap.
she’d started as an intern and worked her way up in corporate event planning for a prestigious firm. she tries not to think about whether or not she got the job based on merit or… connections. but regardless, she’s good at what she does and doesn’t hate schmoozing with the wealthy at cocktail parties.
still, she’s restless and looking for more, which has perhaps kept her from outgrowing her lust for drama.
personality
jenny is deeply insecure and most of her life revolves around seeking acceptance and validation.
never says no
she is extremely flirtatious and would never turn down a hookup.
she’s a lot of fun and definitely knows how to ensure everyone is having a good time. There isn’t a person she wouldn’t talk to. Extroverted to the extreme.
A huge gossip. She’s nosy and likes knowing everyone’s business, but she also likes passing that information along. Isn’t the best at keeping secrets but CAN. Sometimes.
She can be a little short-tempered and defensive. If you poke at something she’s touchy about, she turns feral. Can also be a little confrontational.
Sometimes she grapples with needing to feel in control and can be prone to starting petty arguments or stirring up trouble to sate that. she tests boundaries and provokes reactions.
would also never miss an event–you can find her in the middle of the dance floor making sure all eyes are on her, at bottomless brunch most sundays, or even at a local poetry reading if she heard enough buzz about it
She can be pretty selfish and inconsiderate of others
She can be self-destructive. She has a tendency to push people away and test boundaries.
tldr;
24 year old slutty lil cancer from nj who moved her senior year of hs to NC, currently works in event planning, and is the life of the party, lives for validation, has self-destructive tendencies and is starting to realize she might be more fucked than she though. great for a fun time, working on the rest.
