BACKGROUND / BIO
TW: homophobia, TW: bullying
Born after both her older sisters, Fallon and Brooklyn, Maverick Lou Harris was the odd ball. She tended to do her own thing growing up, and yes she was grateful for her older siblings who would always make sure she was cared after, but she longed for something a bit more out of the ordinary. She loved sitting on their fire escape during the day, turning the beaded friendship bracelet around her fingers as she people-watched the rushing streets of Brooklyn, New York. She didn’t really enjoy being rushed in anything she did as she was really someone who gravitated towards the “living in the moment” crowd.
Mavi was never really good at anything growing up. Sure, she enjoyed a lot of different activities. Basketball, drawing, writing, math, even knitting, but could she say she was talented in any of those? Not really. She just never had a knack for anything. She was just kind of, plain. She had good grades growing up, was on the basketball team in high school, and never really did anything that could get her punished. Growing up, she watched both her older sisters turn into different types of people. She enjoyed watching them with a close eye. Fallon left to go to college, and Brooklyn, only a few years older than her, kept a close eye on her and their younger sibling. Mavi always felt like she was too mature to be looked after, so she didn’t mind when Brooklyn left for a few hours. Granted, Mavi was only in middle school, but she definitely felt like she was mature, (as mature as a 12 year old could be). She knew not to really do anything to put herself in harms way, mostly because she watched her big sister fall in love and get hurt.
Mavi vowed she wouldn’t fall in love. She wasn’t going to. She had seen too much watching her big sister. She felt okay with her decision, she liked spending her time alone, watching the hustle and bustle of the street below them. It wasn’t until high school that she really truly understood who she was, and why she was feeling these sort of feelings for the most popular girl in school. Maverick wasn’t “popular” per say, but people did know who she was. She made herself known. Sophomore year of high school, she came out as gay. Her parents had suspected, and were happy just as long as she was. High schoolers took it a bit differently though. They weren’t as happy. As much as she tried to overlook what others were saying about her, she ended up getting into a fist fight with one of the juniors. Suspended from school, she knew she needed to fight for herself and stick up for herself, even if that meant having to get into more physical fights.
She became someone with a hardened shell on the outside. Never letting anyone see that they had hurt her feelings. One wrong look, and people knew they were on her bad side. High school went by in a flash after that. She kept to herself, with only her few friends that stuck by her side. She got into a college down in Georgia, and decided to go, because why the hell not? Something to get her away from her home state, and maybe something new.
Maverick definitely found her place down in Georgia. She was able to figure out who she wanted to be without the weight of her family, without the pressure of her siblings. She studied business, but really truly hated it. Only found out she really liked the beaches down in Georgia and started getting into surfing.
Mavi wanted to be one of those girls who traveled around in a van to different cities with a joint in her hand, and her surfboard on the roof. For now though, in order to be closer to her sisters, she has found herself a cute little apartment downtown, and works her two jobs at What’s the Tea, and Malibu & Co. But you’d most likely find her sitting at the park or surfing on her days off.
