tw: death, addiction, miscarriage, divorce
Kiraz knew of loss at a very young age when her single mother never returned home after working a night shift at the hospital where she worked as a nurse. Her grandmother tried to make her understand as best a five year old could when she first came to live with her. The following five years were confusing for the little girl who noted the different between her home life and that of her friends. They all had younger parents and did activities that her grandmother couldn't do, and Kiraz was often stuck at home caring for the elderly woman and the home.
When she turned ten years old, her grandmother decided to contact her son who had moved to the united states as she received news that meant she wouldn't be able to care for Kiraz for very long. Her uncle came home to care for his mother until she passed and to get Kiraz's paperwork in order to leave the country and move to the united states. She was ten years old when she arrived in Sedona and while she was able to adapt quickly as most children do, she did feel the effects with the bullying she received in school.
Luckily, high school was a new chance for her to re-invent herself and she did just that. It was during this period of her life that she met a boy and fell deeply in love with him despite her family's warnings. They ended up getting married young and trying to start a family. When Kiraz left high school, she was convinced that she wanted to become a paramedic in order to help people and she succeeded doing so until an incident happened a few years in where she slid down the stairs with a patient and tore muscles in her shoulder and back.
With the came the loss of her job and a world where she could walk around without chronic pain. Her world turned dark and she dived into the bottle to help ease the loss and pain, though that resulted in the end of her marriage and the loss of a child she wasn't aware of until she was being rushed to the hospital due to bleeding. Luckily, her uncle pulled her out of it by giving her an ultimatum of losing the only family she had and she got herself set up and returned to school at the age of twenty five. It's been over a year since she's passed the bar and has started working with a new intent to help save the businesses in town by representing them as best she can.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
EX-HUSBAND/PARTNER: this is a wanted connection but basically someone she married when she was very young and they went through a lot of trial and tribulations. a lot of toxicity and drama to have here, but they can either be split or estranged. slightly learning towards the latter for all the drama on the divorce if that happens.
FAMILY: i would love a sister/brother/cousin for her
BEST FRIEND: someone she grew up with or met later in life but they're thick as thieves, spend hours on the phone and have these late night sleepovers with food and wine.
FOES: someone she doesn't like for whatever reason and they just have this fun banter. they might even be similar which makes it even funnier.
COWORKERS: she works at a law firm so someone she would work with, a past coworker or even a past client.
OLD COWORKERS: she used to be a paramedic so if anyone is in the field of first responders, she would definitely know them
EXES, OLD/CURRENT FLINGS, ANYTHING IN BETWEEN: she's single now and was at one point so there's a lot of ways we can have fun and drama with this connection
A BAD NEIGHBOUR: someone who drives her crazy and she goes out of her way to do the same!
