carmen miller. 30. cis woman. she / her is here! they've lived in cascade for 30 years and currently reside in tule bay (foggy bottom). minnie is an aspiring novelist / dog walker and frequently hears that they look a lot like natalia dyer. funny, huh ? if ever caught by letterboxd, they’d say bridge to terabithia is in their top 4 and the theme song to their life’s soundtrack would be you're still everything by madison beer.
carmen was born into a family built on hard work, tenacity, and dedication. but there was very little room for love. her parents expected good grades, no partying, no acting out. perfection. nothing less. from both carmen and her older brother.
she was never allowed to hang out with friends on the weekends during the school year. never once attended a slumber party. she had to stay in, study, read books, help tidy up the house. she had work to do, there was no time for fun. unless it was the summer. only then could she be a normal kid.
her mom and dad both were married to their jobs – had very little time for one another or their children. they definitely didn't waste any time on silly dreams or aspirations.
carmen, however, was never afraid to reach for the stars in silence. she kept her desires to herself, because she knew, deep down, that her parents would never take any of them seriously. her brother, however, was always happy to hear about the life carmen dreamed about building for herself. he was always there to support her.
one day, in high school, her english teacher compared some of her poetry and short stories to writers such as edgar allan poe. and that's when her world became centered around writing. she loved it. and she was damn good at it too !
carmen started small – jotting down song lyrics, silly poems, story ideas that popped into her head late at night when she should've been snoozing. but now, at thirty years old, she has many manuscripts in the works. she spends most of her free time hunched over her desk, typing away on her laptop or scribbling editing notes into different notebooks – a different one for each manuscript.
she also spends much of her time walking dogs or pet sitting, taking on new clients every week via the dog walking app rover. she charges a pretty penny for her efforts, but everyone knows that she's always loved animals more than humans and has a strong fondness for any furry creature.
she even has a pup of her own. a great dane named connie. carmen's gentle giant and very closest friend.
carmen has a lot of anxiety surrounding relationships of any kind. friendships, romantic relationships, familial ones even. due to her mom and dad's lack of love and attention growing up, minnie often feels as though she's not good enough for anyone.
she currently lives with her brother and his best friend ( both wanted connections on the main ). her brother's friend is someone that she's always been fond of. crushing on him since childhood, she finds living with him can be a blessing and a curse sometimes.
she's trying to focus more on her writing, and less on her love life. or lack thereof, i suppose.
