more info.
a young woman who feels sure of herself as often as she feels in search of something more. but since the passing of her grandmother, she’s felt the latter more. the heaviness of a legacy combined with the emptiness of having lost the person you thought would guide you through it.
at first glance the burroughs seem entirely boring. her parents both accountants and her younger brother a mediocre jock at best. but there’s something strange about them. odd in the sense that there’s things, people in the family they don’t talk about. odd in the sense that she was always taught to avoid anything that would bring on bad luck. odd in the sense that her accountant, otherwise completely science and logic focused father visits a medium with his sister. that devlin is encouraged to visit too though she doesn’t because she feels like she never understands what is being said.
she’s smart, and kind, and passionate – although high walls around her can often make that harder to see, the group would have all been privy to it over the years in one way or another. even if she can sometimes be a moody, judgemental, secretive little shit. she cares deeply and doesn’t always know how to show it or even respond to the feeling within herself
she’s methodical, type a. an overachiever and borderline overcommitted to the life she believes she’s supposed to be living. shown most through her grades, the way she decorates her space, and that secretive nature of herself. very much doing the most all the time, often to her own detriment causing herself stress over things that don’t matter in the long run
she likes sad girl music and too hot showers. making pesto pasta from scratch and old elvis records. counting stars in the night sky. looking through old photographs of people she’ll never know in vintage shops. iced matcha lattes with oat milk and lipstick. card games with a glass of wine. oversized jackets and sunrises. spending an entire day in a museum or wandering a flea market.
picks at the skin around her nails when she’s stressed or bored.
always has a fun little drink but its never water (always has headaches ....... not sure what could be causing them tho)
random headcanon because i didn’t include as much family/background stuff as i usually would: really enjoys cooking and enjoys entertaining so probably does regular dinners for the group <3 dinner at dev’s <3
