   ✦ SOFIA CARSON, FEMALE, SHE/HER ✦ MARIANA ROJAS the TWENTY NINEyear old has been in Hidehill for HER ENTIRE LIFE  and was a STRANGER to Ronnie Nilsson, the most recent shadow of Hidehill. Whispers on the streets are that the SINGER/DANCER who lives in HARLOW ESTATES are said to be PASSIONATE and INSECURE but I guess we’ll find out for ourselves.

𝐁𝐈𝐎𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐏𝐇𝐘…

born towards the end of january to two eighteen year olds, mariana was put up for adoption not long after. with her birth parents being too young, they did what was best for their daughter. they put her up for adoption to give her a better life. being adopted by the rojas family, her life with them growing up was better. with her adopted parents in the entertainment business, her mom a professional dancer and her dad an actor, her life wasn't normal at all. with being the daughter of Adrien and Natalia Rojas, from a young age, she was in the spot light

at the age of twelve, her parents enrolled her into dance and singing lessons. singing though came a lot easier, with dance coming in second.  when she wasn't busy with her dance and singing lessons, she was busy with school. busy keeping her grades up and making sure she didn't fall behind.   during her summers, when she was out of school, her time was filled with the lessons her parents signed her up for. though that all came to an end when she was fifteen years old. by then, she was good at not only singing, but dancing as well.

the following year, not long after her sixteenth birthday, mariana and her parents had gotten into a car accident. her mother had was killed from it. while mariana and her father both survived. though their stay in the hospital lasted for a few weeks. with how bad the accident was, she was lucky enough to get away with a badly sprained ankle, and a lot of cuts and bruises on her.  the news of her moms death though, after finding out a few hours later hurt her the most. for the days following, mariana shut herself off of everyone. from her friends and family, she didn't want to talk or see them as she tried to come to terms that her mom was gone.

the months that followed, mariana focused on getting better, slowly but surely.  finally getting back to normal after some time, mariana made sure she got back to dancing and singing. two of her passions.  after graduating high school,  she headed off to New Haven, Connecticut to attend Yale University. there, she double majored in theatre and performance studies and music.  during her first year at yale, she posted a video on youtube of a song she wrote. Una Flor. within a matter of hours, the song gained a decent amount of views. as well as the attention of a few record producers.  eventually, she agreed to sign with a record producer based near her hometown of hidehill. but only on the condition that she could continue on with her studies.

with the agreement all set,  a year later, after working on a few songs, she released her first official song called love is the name. the song ended up being a huge success. which surprised her.  dealing with the instant fame while attending her college, it was hard. but over time she managed to deal with it. completing her studies three years later, she returned home. but now for long. not when she got the news she would be doing her first concert tour. to say she was nervous was an understatement.  the tour had become a success though. which helped ease any nervousness she did have. after it was finished, she returned home to hidehill.  it was not long after that she ended up buying a house in harlow estates.

OTHER FACTS…

- she has four adopted siblings. one sister and three brothers. her sister is two years younger than her, while her three brothers are older than her. the eldest being thirty six years old.

- she loves coffee. she can't go a day without having at least one or two cups of coffee during the day. anyone who knows her knows this.

- she has four animals total. three rescue dogs, a siberian husky named rocky, an American Pit Bull Terrier named daisy and corgi named lola. she also has an american shorthair cat named lucky.

-  her taste in food varies. with pizzas, she loves putting hot sauce on them.  anything to make it more spicy. spicy foods in general are a favorite of hers.

- even though she won't admit it, the whole shadow thing does freak her out. the fact that someone is going around terrorizing people scares her more than anything.

WANTED CONNECTIONS…  

first love: this was her first serious relationship she had. they were each others first everything.  they dated for a while. when she was in the car accident, he was the one to help her through it even though she didn't want anyone around. four years in total they were together. at some point, she thought they would stay together even after high school and get married, but the two broke up before headingg off to college. mariana is still very much in love with him. her song una flor is about him though that's something she never admitted.

her person: male or female, they would have known each other for a while. probably since they were kids. they're practically joined at the hip as some people would say. through everything, they've been there for each other. even when mariana was out on tour, if her firned needed someone, she would have flown them to what ever city she was in. think meredith/cristina or meredith/alex from greys anatomy.

childhood best friends: growing up in hidehill, mariana most likely had a good about of childhood best friends. people she was close with and who are still friends with her not because of her fame, but because of her and their friendship that goes way back.

exes: mariana has dated around. especially during her early years of college, and when she was just getting into the music industry.

family friends: friends she had  met through her parents. they could have known each other since they were kids or met a few years ago.

"If you ever need a partner, you’ve got me,” he offered with a smile. He didn’t feel like he could afford to let the Shadow get to him. To him, it didn’t really feel like any where was safe. The most recent deaths happened in someone’s home, not out in towns. He wouldn’t mention that to Mariana, though, who already seemed cautious. “I am… but you and I probably have different definitions of safe.”

"if i  ever feel like going out for a run, i'll be sure to give you a call." for now, she'd stick to working out in her own yard. where it would be safer, probably. who knew at this point with the shadow back and wrecking havoc again. who knew what would happen next. or where as well. was it safe anywhere in the town anymore? probably now. "probably. but still, stay safe regardless of that."

“I actually don’t really have anyone coming I don’t think. My mom might be coming and then I think some of Sybil’s family are coming, but I’m honestly not sure. We might end up just having a big potluck with the lonely souls of Hidehill.” Amelia said with a shrug. She and Sybil did usually enjoy holidays and often hosted, but it seemed like it had slipped their mind this year. It had been pretty hectic with Amelia’s injury and the resurgence of the Shadow, so they hadn’t even discussed holiday plans yet. “How are you feeling after those texts from the Shadow? I really thought things were going to go back to normal.”  

"you're more than welcome to come by my place for dinner if you want. we almost always make way too much food." enough to almost feed an army. but that was how her family was every year. always making way too much food. but who could blame them? sometimes it was hard to even know who exactly was coming.  "honestly? not good at all. i was hoping for a nice holiday season but it seems like who ever that psycho is doesn't care about that."

“And yet you’re here welcoming me with open arms,” he jokes, reaching to take the cup of coffee and taking a sip. He’s already had a cup of coffee when he woke up, but he’s definitely not against a second. He scoffs playfully. “What if I just wanted to visit and check in? You don’t seem to have much faith in me, Mariana.” He places a hand to his heart in mock offense. “But no, seriously, how are you holding up?”

"you know, most people these days usually text instead of just showing up." she teased. though she truly didn't mind when he came over. he was one of her best friends. how could she say no to him coming over?   picking up her cup of coffee, she took a long sip of it before placing it back down on the table. "i'm honestly a little freaked out. didn't think that this whole thing would start back up." she admitted. yeah, she knew she was safe with having her own security. but she couldn't help but to be a bit scared.

“Nine?” Reagan echoed, eyes pressing closed for a long moment. Yeah, she was already fucking late. How she still had her job, she really had no idea. A sigh escaped her, nostrils flaring. Well there was no point in hurrying now, she mused. “Yeah, well…that wasn’t the plan.” The brunette replied when the other asked if she was okay, that people didn’t usually sleep on the trail. Reagan could understand why - she wouldn’t say it was comfortable, and the ache was starting to kick in. Though that was nothing compared to the throbbing in her head. “Got any aspirin or something?” She asked, glancing around to get her bearings to where exactly she’d ended up. 

"yeah. nine."  at nine in the morning, she was usually home. for her to even be out was rare. especially since she usually stuck to walking her dog around her own neighborhood or kept her in the yard. rarely did she ever come to the trail. and today, she was telling herself mentally that she should have done just that. she should have just stayed home.  hearing her question, she shook her head. "I don't. but i do have some advil if you want some of that instead." she offered. she had always carried advil with her. one never knew when they were going to need it anyway.

Amelia had stopped by the grocery store just to pick up some items for dinner, wanting to surprise her wife with a nice home cooked meal. After everything they’d been through in the past few weeks all she wanted was to do something for Des. So here she was, trapsing through Ormonds looking for items for dinner. “Mariana! Hey!” She called out as she pushed her cart down the aisle towards the other girl. They’d known each other their whole lives, and Amelia would like to consider Mariana a friend. “Oh my god I’ve been so overwhelmed that I forgot all about Thansgiving.” She reached over her cart to grab an item she needed and put it in her cart. “Is the whole family coming to your place for dinner?” 

"with everything going on, it's understandable. i remembered though because my dad kept reminding me about it." that was an understatement. her dad had reminded her multiple times about it. and the fact that almost the entire family would be there too. she didn't mind it. but she was praying that they would all leave before 8pm. which was her down time. or well, her time to curl up on the couch, eat some popcorn and watch some movies until she got tired. "they are. i'm in charge of the turkey this year which i don't mind. it means i get to spice it up. give it a kick." thank the lord her family loved spicy foods though. that was the plus about this. "do you have any family coming in for thanksgiving?"

He nodded in agreement. Always had been the type for second helpings and room for dessert; it was perhaps his most expensive habit, part of why working in a kitchen had always made that little bit extra sense. “Yea, pretty rude of you to use it against me too.” He joked, shaking his head as he leaned down to tie up that last skate. “So long as I’m not mixing my meds, it’s all good.” A truth, or half of one. They hadn’t told him anything specifically, aside from lots of rest, don’t overexert himself, and take the meds as prescribed. He’d read the instructions. While he hadn’t followed up on the whole twice-a-day thing, he had stuck with not taking it with alcohol. But they didn’t need to dive too deep into that, and so Crawford rose from his spot on the bench. “This isn’t going to be pretty. Fair warning on that.”

"i could text you asking if you wanted to come over for pizza, and you would say yes." she teased. but who wouldn't come over for pizza? or food in general?  when ever her dad asked if she wanted to come over for dinner, or even lunch, it was always an instant yes.   "okay then, one drink and that's it." she wouldn't agree to anything other than one drink to add in to their food after ice skating. too much alcohol and that would not be good. mariana herself didn't like drinking to much. one or two drinks were fine. but nothing beyond that. "if you want me to make sure you don't fall, i can definitely do that."

Reagan closed her eyes again, a hand coming up to run through her hair. It wasn’t hard to tell the other was offended by her attitude – which wasn’t surprising. Lately, the only time anyone seemed to be able to tolerate her was when she was drunk or high. Which only encouraged her to spend more time under the influence of whatever she could get her hands on. That, and they dulled the emotions in her chest that she wasn’t at all willing to deal with. Reagan pulled her phone from her pocket, but the screen refused to light up, a groan leaving her lips. “Fuck.” She muttered to herself, slowly pushing up to her feet. “Hey, sorry, alright? You got the time?” Reagan was pretty sure she was supposed to be at work today, though hopefully she had time for a nap in her actual bed before that. 

about to walk off, mariana stopped when she heard the woman speak. a sigh escaping her lips, she turned around to face the woman. truthfully, she didn't know what to really say. sure, she appreciated the apology but she didn't like the attitude at all.  especially since mari had been nothing but nice.   "it's almost nine in the morning." she replied. she had remembered since it was twenty past eight when she got in the car to come to the trails. "are you okay?  not used to seeing anyone sleeping out here on the trails."

“i can relate to that–though i know you’re still adorable regardless.” lukas chuckles lightly at her words, as he himself recalled all those embarrassing photos his mothers took of him when he was little. the two of them somehow had one thing in common, both of them lost their parents on a car accident, him even though it has been forever ago, sometimes it still does feel so fresh, it was when his life went downhill, even when it comes to his career, he was making a name for himself. everything else wasn’t going well. “i’m only worried because i don’t want to ruin how uniform you make them, mari.” he then does as she instructed him, filling up and rolling up tortillas for the other. “see, now i’m about to mess this up…”

"me, adorable? you mist be seeing things because i am absolutely not adorable at all."  just mentioning her mom moments ago hurt. to her, it was still too soon to talk to her. even if it had been thirteen years to the day since she passed.  while her dad and her siblings mentioned her every so often, mari didn't.  how could she when it hurt to mention her?  it was something she knew lukas could understand. it was also why she liked spending time with him too. as crazy as some might say it was.   "you're not going to ruin how we make them." she said, a soft smile forming on her lips as she playfully nudged his arm. "you're making them just fine. the only thing that matters is that they're going to taste amazing once they're cooked."

While the skates had made their way onto his feet, Crawford had been slow in putting them on and lacing them up; his left one still remained loose. “You know, I think I remember the doctor telling me something about stay away from ice rinks,” he replied, joking in his obvious lie though his tone had remained flat. While not exactly the words out of their mouth, it had been the closest Crawford had come to listening to them. He was already pushing himself more and more at work and he should have needed to refill his pills a week ago but the tube remained mostly full. Crawford exhaled gruffly at the mention of food. “I forget you know my weak spots,” he muttered, shaking his head from side to side. Sometimes it felt like a lifetime since they’d dated, just two kids then. So much was different and yet, small things remained the same. “Throw in a drink and we’ll make it three whole laps.”

"i'm pretty sure you're okay to skate around the rink with me." she teased a bit. plus, it was a great source of exercising too. for mariana though, it was a tradition to come ice skating. though that died out shortly after she had turned sixteen.  that though was something she wouldn't bring up. it was something she rarely even brought about around anyone. "food has always been and always will be your weak spot." she pointed out.  despite the fact that it had been a while since they had dated, she still remembered his weak spots. and food was one of them. "if the doctors gave you the okay to drink then i can throw in a drink too." she didn't want to add in something if it wasn't okay. that was the last thing she would do.

Working out was something that Jae did pretty often, mostly going to the gym but when the weather was nice, for a run. It was a good stress reliever, especially given that the Shadow seemed to be back. Reducing his speed to a jog, it didn’t take long before he noticed Mariana, her corgi that he’d met plenty of times prior coming towards him, prompting him to bend down and give her a pet. “I wanted to get a run in before work,” he responded, glancing up at Mariana with Lola still beside him. “How have you been? Staying safe I hope.”

"i'd start running in the mornings but i would hate to go alone." especially with the shadow back. it made her feel not so safe. hell bringing out lola by herself made her feel iffy about being out there. after seeing jae though, it made her feel at least some what relieved.  "don't worry about me. i usually stick to my house, where it's definitely a lot more safe." she replied. it was true though at least. pushing herself off of the bench, she walked over to where he was with lola. "you better be staying safe too."

“I probably will have to take you up on that,” Gen said, leaning forward and spooning a helping of fried rice onto her plate, “seeing as how I don’t think I have an invitation to mine anymore. And we both know I would be tragic trying to cook for myself.” She gave Mari a sideways look, the takeout food seeming that extra bit too fitting. With her plate full, Imogen settled back into the couch, carefully resting the plate on her lap. “But I guess you’ll have me to help shuttle them out now. If I have to bribe your brothers to play sick, I will.”

"you're always welcome over for dinner. especially on holidays." she knew her family wouldn't mind. the more, the merrier to them.  that was what her aunt would always say to her when it came to inviting friends over. whether it was for the holidays or a family party. "well i can promise you that my cooking is pretty damn good. i get to make the turkey this year and i plan to spice it up." with the fact that her family loved anything spicy, that gave her the go ahead for spicing up the turkey. a blessing to her.   leaning back on the couch once she filled her plate up, she looked over at gen. "i'm pretty sure they would do that either way. they don't like staying late either."

“can’t help it, and you can’t blame me.” lukas shrugs, pausing for a moment whilst he watched mariana busy preparing lunch before going back to his camera, snapping a candid of the other, then he chuckles. “not a bad photo of you exists, even when you’re so focused on making the enchiladas–which is something i’d love to have for lunch.” he then puts the camera down before walking up to mariana, joining her to give her some assistance. “you sure you need an extra pair of hands? what can i do?”

"oh? then you clearly haven't seen any of the photos of me from when i was younger." she pointed out. she could easily get out a good amount of photos that were bad or embarrassing of her. finishing rolling up the second enchilada, she placed it next to the first one in the dish.  "my mom made these once as a birthday cake for me. we had no cake mix at all so she just made up enchiladas instead."  talking about her mom or even bringing her up was something she rarely did. not because she didn't want to, but because it hurt to do. even though she didn't show it. "yes i'm sure. you can help with the enchiladas. you know, putting the filling on the tortilla and rolling them up. it'll go by faster with some help."

Had she been asleep? Maybe. Reagan rubbed her eyes as she squinted against the morning sun. Fuck, where was she? A glance around gave her her bearings, and the memories from the night before slowly emerging. She’d had her keys confiscated at the bar, and ended up walking home. Though apparently she hadn’t quite got there. But from the look of the dim morning light, she hadn’t been asleep for more than an hour or two, since she hadn’t left the bar until closing. Finally, she glanced at the woman and her dog. “Yeah, but I do.” She shot back, slowly pushing herself to her feet. 

the last thing she expected was for the woman to be well sort of rude to her. had she done something wrong? or said something ?  she knew she should have just stayed in her backyard. a small sigh escaping her lips, she gently pulled lola back towards her. not wanting to let her dog get too far away from her. "if i said something wrong, i'm sorry. as for my dog, she loves being around people. that is something i can't control." she replied. "come on lola, let's go home." she looked down at her dog as she came back over. "sorry once again for what ever i did or said."

if there was one thing she didn't get, it was why most people didn't like buying albums anymore.  sure, it was easy to buy it online and have all the music there. but what was the fun in that? "it's a shame people don't really come to stores like this anymore." she mused as she picked up an album by pat benatar. an artist she loved. she had even gotten the chance to meet her once too.

with the shadow back from what it seemed, it scared mariana. though she wouldn't admit it out loud. leaning back on the bench, she watched as lola laid on the grass next to her feet.  most of the time, she would sit, but today she wasn't. eyes wandering around, they stopped when she saw jae walking. "thought you would be working." she called to him. it was in that moment that her corgi, lola went running over to him. she didn't mind it at all either.
