Mia: It depends on the night honestly. The last time she had sex was three years ago before her husband left. But it all depended with him.
Aylin: She was always dominant. Always. She wanted to be in charge so she could have it go how she wanted. However when it came to him....she always submitted.
Mia: She very much wants to be seen as powerful. As someone to be feared. Somewhere on the level of Miranda in The Devil Wears Prada. She grew up with emotionally unavailable parents, so she would rather be feared than loved....even though a little bit of her wants to be loved.
Aylin: She just wants to be seen. She wants to be loved. Truly loved. She has spent her whole life being a pawn in someone elses game that she never has had someone love her for her.
“Aw, c’mon… the place is packed”, he smiled. The place was indeed packed and of course there was no familiar face around. Why come here if he didn’t really want to mingle tonight? God only knew. Then again, this martini on the rocks with its three olives was going to be the highlight of his day after such a long shift. Anyway, as he looked around the room earlier, Jonas spotted her with her glass of wine and bingo! There was an empty spot right next to her. She didn’t seem like she was here to make small talk either and that was perfect. However, the closer he got, the brighter that fuck off sign stamped on her forehead got. Still, he tried his luck. But no luck. “Unless you’re waiting for someone?”
“Do women always have to be waiting for someone, or can we just be allowed to sit alone in a bar and enjoy ourselves.” Mia rarely came to this bar when she was meeting someone. It was a short walk from her town home and honestly people usually left her alone..usually. This man though felt like he was gods gift apparently and he was using that. The woman figured he could sit down and if she got annoyed she could always leave. Waving her hand to let him sit, Mia closed the booklet in front of her and placed it to the side. “Do you normally come here and bother random women or is it just the ones that usually dont want company.”
Lalia blinked, and stood up out of the chair. She looked at it quizzically, then back to the woman (who was almost certainly Mia Carmichael), and back to the empty chair. “What, is there a ghost in it?” she smirked, knowing this was a risk. Mia Carmichael - if that’s who this really was - didn’t seem like the type to enjoy silly jokes from girls who looked like My Little Pony rejects, and did seem like the type to blacklist a popstar from her magazine if she thought she was ridiculous enough… but nothing ever stopped Lali from trying.
“If I promise not to disturb your reading, do I have permission to sit quietly and bask in your presence? Because even if you aren’t Mia Carmichael, you look just like her, and that in itself deserves awe and recognition,” she smiled.
The smile that twitched at Mia’s lips was all she was going to give the girl standing in front of her. Taking a sip of her wine and nodding her head towards the chair, Mia motioned for the girl to sit. She knew who she was, her magazine had been wanting to get her in one of their spreads but Mia was hesitant. Maybe this could change her mind. “You are brave, I’ll give you that. Most people would rather walk the other direction when I spoke to them like that.” And it was true. Mia was well known. Lux was one of the most sought after magazines to work for in the fashion world. If you had the honor, you had doors open. However, if you crossed her you might as well kiss your career goodbye. Waiving the waiter over, she asked for her wine to be refilled before looking at the girl. “Go ahead and give your order to him. I think we have much to talk about Lalia”

Name: Mia Carmichel
Age: 43
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Birth Parents: Roger and Lyra Carmichel (both deceased)
Birthday: January 12th 1979
Basic Info:
Mia is the oldest of the Carmichel siblings. The three of them were raised in a very cold and distant household. Both Roger and Lyra saw children as a check box to mark off a list. Mia was first and then five years later was her sibling. Another two years after that the last child arrived. Due to being the oldest, Mia had to take care of her siblings as her parents were always off doing something else. Having one of the countries best law firms wasn’t easy, and keeping up appearances was something they strived to do.
Mia strived to be the perfect child. All A’s in school, scholarships, and high praise from all her teachers she also participated in sports and art design. When she went to college she figured out that she wanted to work in the fashion world. Not as a model but as someone behind the scenes. And so thats what she did. She set her sights on Lux Fashion Magazine. Eventually she got hired and worked her way to the top. People thought it was a little bit of nepotism as her mother knew the owner of the magazine, but they started to realize that Mia was good at whatever role she was put in. Soon she was promoted to editor in chief.
While all this was going on, Mia met her husband. Though she loved him, she never really learned how to express her feelings. This caused a lot of tension between them as she had been taught to put career over everything. When their daughter was born, he hoped his wife would change her mindset, but she didn’t. Though Mia loved her family, she loved her job more. This ended up causing her husband to leave saying she never really cared about him in the end.
Even though Mia was crushed, she ended up throwing herself into her work to help with the hurt. Between that and worrying over her daughter she had enough to keep the emotions at bay. Her daughter wasn’t exactly following the path that Mia had wanted her to, causing Mia and her daughter to have a very strained relationship.
Connections:

Ex husband-Need to be contacted: She still has feelings for her ex and misses him. But feels like he deserves better than her emotionally unavailable ass.
Daughter: There is a skeleton bio for Mia’s daughter on the main. But i would love to be contacted and plot that out!
The day had been long and honestly Mia was just ready to sit down with a glass of wine and a good book to unwind before she made her way home. She had been working late nights at the office trying to get the new edition of the magazine out and the past few weeks had been so hectic that the woman barley had time to sit and relax. Sitting in her usual booth in the dimly lit lounge, Mia sipped her red wine absentmindedly as she looked over the final print that her assistant had sent over. Feeling a shadow pass over her before sitting down next to her, Mia took another sip and spoke without looking up.
