BRIEF INTRO.
neve chatham has never met her father. she has no idea who it might have been that spent the night with her mother some thirty odd years ago. and mariana chatham never told, even on her death bed, the hospital machines beeping around her and her daughter. the cancer diagnosis had been caught too late, all the possible treatments were out of the limited budget that the two women subsisted on. there was grace and dignity to be found despite the grim circumstances, the self-confidence that mariana instilled in her daughter, the certainty to stare down fate and self-made choices. and there was only one request: that neve work until she had what she deserved. her mother was always certain of it. somehow, some way, there was something the universe owed neve, some good luck charm which seemed to hold itself above her waiting for the right moment. she couldn’t be sure of such a rabbit’s foot. but, she believed in her mother’s certainty. she never struggled with her academics, nor her place in school, she was bright enough for an associate’s degree, though perhaps not well-funded enough to continue her education. she found herself subsisting off of odd waitnressing and bartender positions, directionless for lack of a better word. not for want of direction, but this continued uncertainty of what it was that she was supposed to find in life. her placement at the automotive yard was once again, the manifestation of this self-reliance, though she wasn’t sure what more. until, callum and chester. or rather mickey. though she preferred to ignore that in favor of uncle mav. the ill-timed decisions of the chatham line were a genetic assurance, and she found herself, much like her mother, a single parent. now, neve doesn’t deal in much luck, she has far more to focus on
