𓂃 * ｡ ◜ alexa demie , cis woman , she/her . ꒰ JOSIE MENDES just walked through the lobby and took the soundproof elevator to apartment 4402 . obviously , they can afford their home at the ivy because they are a FASHION DESIGNER / MAKEUP MOGUL, which is kind of hot if we’re being honest . we saw on the lease agreement that they are TWENTY-SEVEN years old and originally come from MANHATTAN, NEW YORK , even honestly filling out the questionnaire by saying they’re reticent but also debonair trait . anyway , other tenants already associate them with BLACK JIMMY CHOOS, CHANEL N°5 LINGERING IN THE AIR AS SHE LEAVES THE ROOM & BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S. however , we think if they ever become famous — the headline would be ’ the makeup mogul does it again! another successful launch for the dark haired beauty. ’ . but whatever , make sure to borrow some sugar from this tenant cause we sure are ! ꒱

( tw: miscarriage, neglect. ) while she might be the daughter of one america’s wealthiest couples, josie’s life wasn’t as glamorous as people were often quick to assume it was. considering her parents worked all the time, she grew up with different nannies throughout her childhood. it wasn’t all that bad, especially since she was able to learn about their backstory and being taught responsibilities she most likely wouldn’t have if her parents had raised her themselves. while her father was rarely home, she sometimes got to spend time with her mother ( but honestly, she wished she hadn’t. ) her mom was quite the materialistic person, and she only seemed to want to give her daughter attention when it benefited her. she would enroll her in pageants and local talent shows until she finally grew bored of it and eventually only took the time to be with her during galas or other public events. when graduation came around, josie knew she wanted to become a successful business woman and after getting accepted into yale, things seemed to be going as planned. after finishing her studies, she was hellbent on getting her makeup business off the ground without her parents’ money to help her. with a silver tongue and a passion that was inspiring, she was able to get some investors and within six months her makeup brand “RUIZ COSMETICS’’ went live. considering she’d been in the public eye as an heiress throughout her life, she had a lot of people following her from the beginning and her fanbase only expanded when her makeup became a global hit. four years have passed and josie is twenty-seven and has two successful businesses, adding a fashion empire with a clothing line that is universal and for all body types. she prides herself on having been able to do this on her own and without her parents’ help.
after launching her recent christmas collection, she completely disappeared from the public eye. she would still post on social media and keep up with her fans, but no one had seen her and there was a lot of speculation as to why. think kylie jenner’s pregnancy lmao. long story short, she got pregnant and her publicist thought it was best to go into hiding until she had the baby ( due to the stress of fame and everything, it was deemed a high risk pregnancy ) and she was whisked away to paris. one month ago, she showed up in nyc again; only she wasn’t pregnant anymore nor did she have a baby with her. she suffered a miscarriage during her second trimester and the whole thing has really messed her up. she’s starting to fall into partying habits to cope with her grief. the baby’s father also doesn’t know about her secret, but it’s only a matter of time before it all comes out. has been living in the ivy apartment for the last seven years.

basically imagine blair waldorf & fallon carrington combined. she’s got blair’s fashion sense and attitude & fallon’s manipulation and business savy persona. while she might be blunt and tells it like it is, she’s generally nice to everyone that she meets and you’re most likely to get along with her unless you get on her bad side. very, very, very supportive towards her friends and loved ones and would do anything for them. also def the protective mom bestie who makes sure everyone gets home okay after going out. before her pregnancy she liked having one night stands ( with boys & girls ) but she’s kinda closed off to it now and basically is a tease but only to get things in return lmao. loves drama – she’s literally that kim kardashian coming out of the bushes when drama is happening meme/gif. prob starts shit just for fun too.

platonic soulmate / best friend. this would be one of the very few people who she trusts with her life, legit ride or die goals and would do anything for each other. also would know about what happened with the baby & why she left.
baby daddy. this would be the guy who got her pregnant. i’m thinking they would have gotten close before hooking up bc i love angst & just the idea that she was falling for him hard ( which is extremely rare for her ) and thought it would be best to leave so she didn’t ruin his career or whatever and now she’s back and he has no clue that she had a miscarriage or was prego in the first place. but like drama when it comes out and shit? pls.
confidants, party buddies, old one night stands, ex-boyfriend, frenemies , etc.
