🌦 « tika sumpter. cis female. she/her. 42. » was that JOSEPHINE HAYES walking through the doors of amorelux ? i heard they just moved in to apartment 1303 from AUSTIN, TX and work as a paediatrician. they seem humble & empathetic but don’t get on their bad side ! they can be obsessive & overly gossipy which makes sense since they’re a VIRGO. you know they’re home when you see a flash of coming in at odd hours after working at the hospital, always willing to help out a fellow resident in need and feeling the weight of everyone and everything on your shoulders.

BIO !
josephine was born to a general doctor father and a veterinarian mother so being a doctor was literally the only career path for her lmao
grew up going to posh private schools but doesn’t advertise that because she feels it’s bragging and because she’s lowkey ashamed - don’t ask her to explain she can’t
did well in school because... that was how she was raised: perfect in everything. the perfect student. the perfect daughter and later the perfect doctor
which had an effect on her and is the reason why she’s very obsessive about everything: people, her job, the building etc
did her pre med at duke, and her med school at john hopkins. did her residency and then continued working
was engaged at the age of 32 to a fellow john hopkins student. they dated around 8 years but they both mutually called it off because they realised the relationship was over years ago but both were continuing because of the “sunk cost fallacy” and because the dating market is daunting
it took her about a year to start dating again but besides some relationships here and there, hasn’t found someone to settle down with
works long hours and is often very stressed due to the nature of the job. will she tell anyone including any best friends ? nope lmao
only moved to seattle in the last... year or so. austin is where everything and everyone was. including her ex so she wanted a change.
because her job requires her to work with kids, she is a very empathetic person and will always lend an ear to help out and all
however, jo has this tendency to gossip a lot so please do not tell her your secrets the entire building will know by 8pm that evening, i promise
and she’s also very stubborn. like there’s no changing her mind once she’s made it.
in a bit of a weird twist, she’s also very critical not just about herself and about others. she’s working on that but sometimes she gives out unsolicited advice that... isn’t appropriate for the situation and not something someone wants to hear at the moment
WANTED CONNECTIONS !
(these aren’t set in stone but just some ideas if you need inspo when plotting)
the ex: the ex i mentioned earlier. they were engaged and were genuinely in love but the relationship fizzled out and didn’t want to face the dating market so stayed together. sometimes jo has pangs of “what might have been” but she has, for the most part, gotten over them. but seeing them live in the same building would be a surprise
friends with benefits: either current or ex.
best friends: people who are her ride and die. they share everything about everyone and these are the people that jo counts to have on her side. and these are the people she’ll always defend and have their back
professional friends: anyone in the med field so jo can talk to people who truly “get it” and what’s it like working in the med field because her job definitely is not cuddling babies
can’t get along: just someone or multiple people. jo and your muse do not get along no matter how hard they try. what that reason is could be something to do with personality, background clash etc etc
childhood/private school friend: someone or multiple people who went to the same school as josie and/or lived in the same area as her and they knew each other. either are still close or grew apart
❝ sorry did you need to use the machine ? ❞ she had the luxury of having her own private gym back at home but here , she sometimes had to learn to share . ❝ i've just got another rep to do but then after that , it's yours . ❞
❝ i'm just saying that us women in stem need to stick together you know . ❞ sure they were in two different stem fields but still . ❝ but if you're busy i can always come back some other time ? . ❞
❝ you never have to apologise to me for calling me late at night . ❞ jo offers a warm smile towards the other . worried parents in the fields of paediatrics was always a given . ❝ but if there's anything you'd like to discuss about iris , i have some free time right now . ❞
Pediatrics doesn’t just save the life that’s right in front of them. They also save the lives of an infinity number of future friends and children. Pediatrics saves the people on the branches of the infinity tree diagram of life.
