Hi there, I’m Madison! And this is the loml Rory. I also play Tommy but I’m posting her intro for rn. Like this if you’d like to plot and I’ll message you!
a south african immigrant and an off duty flight attendant meet at a bar in hermosa beach, california and that’s all it takes before the two find themselves in love and in a few years they’re married and a year after that their expecting their first child aka rory.
two years later the second kid is born. her mother gives up her job instead to be a single mother while her father continues to work for disney in film marketing and dvd distribution.
as a result, rory grew up in the film industry world and fell in love.
she was always that kid who would gather all of the kids on the block to put on shows and was directing them.
has always been the artistic one in their family, falling in love with photography at a young age then singing and songwriting and playing the piano and eventually realizing that she wanted to be a director.
she was nine years old when her baby brother was born and he became the light of her life! such a protective mom/sister.
this was also the time when her mother started to get addicted to prescription meds/alcohol but rory was so naive and young she didn’t really know that was something was wrong she just thought that was the way her mom was.
due to her dad’s job he traveled a lot and it was when he was out of town that her house got bad and she had to protect her siblings. while her mother never became physically abusive she was verbally abusive and even went as far as drugging the girls just to get them to nap and instead it just made them high. while the kids were naive, rory knew it didn’t feel right but she didn’t know what was wrong so every night her dad was out of town, she’d take the two smaller kids into her room and she’d allow them to sleep in her bed as they’d watch movies and play games.
her neighbors eventually suspected things were not right with the mom and told the dad. when rory was 12 her mom was admitted into rehab for the first time and that’s how she learned about her mother’s disease.
she took on this sense of responsibility and duty that no kid should have to endeavor, taking care of the kids and practically raising her little brother. she didn’t know this wasn’t normal for a kid!
grew up as a theater kid and even though she was never lead material she loved it and thrived with the artists, always coming to school with a camera dangled around her neck.
had a couple of boyfriends but none of them really stuck!
got into yales and pursued film studies
so now she’s doing that directing thing! being the only girl in most of her film classes and having to fight the sexism that comes along with it
she’s probably demisexual and heteromantic!
which as a result, she tends to fall for her best friends and it gets messy…because she’s not interested in them at first because it flies over her head and then suddenly there are feelings like…oh wait…i’m attracted to you but i friend zoned you…oh fuck.
still a virgin…not really interested in sex and doesn’t see the rush.
tends to self isolate a lot and can get pretty lonely even tho she chooses to be!
PERSONALITY WISE: she’s super sarcastic and honestly a big ol dork. loves tv and movies and when she’s watching something, the rest of the world seems to disappear. has battled a lot with depression and is a massive insomniac. doesn’t believe in herself enough but believes in everyone around her 10000%. while she doesn’t always fight for herself she’d do anything for the people around her!
PLOTS: BEST FRIENDS, childhood friends, cousins, ex-boyfriends, hook ups (that obviously didn’t go all the way), her squad, her creative posse, her muses! (she likes to do impromptu photoshoots with people and will have them model), any actors who want to collab and be the leads in her shorts, UM honestly everything!, roommates,
