aurora likes to indulge in any art form she can when given the opportunity, always searching for another spark of inspiration for her music, which is how she finds herself here at in bloom. she never thought she'd be attending a workshop to try to make a gorgeous bouquet, nor did she think it would be so complicated. “do you think this looks combo bad?” she starts, turning towards one of the other participants in the workshop, delicately holding up the bouquet she's been working on for appraisal. there's a bundle of red roses, pink lilies, and pink carnations. the roses are carefully splayed out, serving as an accent piece to the bouquet. “...or am i just completely overthinking it?”
Fresh flowers from In Bloom were like the lifeblood of Evie’s home. The sweet aromas made the air in her living room smell divine and seeing their vibrant colours always brightened up her day. She always wondered how the florists there did such an immaculate job of flower arrangements, so decided to attend a workshop to have a go for herself.
“You’re overthinking it, dear,” Evie then replied with a reassuring smile. “It looks absolutely beautiful. Gorgeous, in fact; those roses are absolutely divine with those carnations. You’ve got a natural talent.”
She glanced down at her own bouquet: white and orange lilies, baby’s breath, and red chrysanthemums.
“I think you might have to wear sunglasses when looking at mine,” Evie laughed. “They’re all rather bright.”

in front of a stand full of food and exhibiting a variety of wine bottles, cordelia stood with her back straight and her expression pensive. she took one of the bottles, read the label, and put it back on the table. then did the same with two more. she sighed, vacillating, and took the second bottle again, turning to the person at her left — she wasn’t the kind of person to ask for others' opinions, nor someone to be indecisive, but today seemed like an unusual day, so she did it. “ what do you think ? pinot noir or merlot ? ” her question was soft, yet her frustration could be heard in the words. “ i can’t decide for the life of me. ”
Amidst her wandering, Evie found Cordelia at the wine stand and it didn’t come as a surprise; it was rare that she wasn’t enticed by the rich liquids and the same went for Evie herself.
She approached Cordelia and when her questioned was posed, replied, “I know that pinot noir is your favourite and I must say that it’s hard to resist it. But there’s something so summery and floral about a merlot and I think that would be nice this time of year, when we’re hoping to see the sun soon and ditch our winter coats… Oh, I don’t know; maybe just pick the pinot to be safe.”
Evie then eyed the bottles in front of her. “Then again, you could just say to hell with it and get both. Life’s too short, right? It’s not as if you’ll be drinking them at the same time. Unless you want to come over to my place after a rough day at work and we can drown our sorrows.”
serena sinks into the couch, stretching her legs out with a quiet sigh of relief, her notebook closed and set neatly on the table. she glances around the room, relaxed in a way she doesn’t get to be very often.
“so… i have the day off, and all my school work is actually done,” she says, a smile creeping in like she’s still surprised by it. “which means i suddenly don’t know what to do with myself.”
she tilts her head, thoughtful but playful. “i was thinking maybe a movie marathon? or board games? nothing high-stakes. or we could go somewhere instead.”her eyes brighten as she looks over, warm and inviting. “i’m very open to suggestions.”
Evie couldn't help but smile. "That's wonderful. You should be proud of yourself. I always ended up doing my school work on the last minute, mostly in the subjects I didn't like."
She had never been a 'logical' person, opting to care about creative subjects like English and art rather than science and mathematics. Evie never liked the black and white answers to questions; the grey areas in between were infinitely more interesting to explore.
"Oh, you know I'm always going to choose films," she then responded cheerfully. "I can never decide on watching something new or watching old favourites, but I suppose with the Oscars approaching quickly I should see what’s just been released… But I do love board games. I think they’re under-appreciated these days, don’t you agree?”
› STATUS : open. ( @arconiastarters )
› LOCATION : resident's lounge during the blizzard
› FEATURING : hayden & your muse.
( ↻ ) “ damn, they weren’t kidding when they said there was going to be a blizzard ! ” hayden comments, checking on the fireplace. she gets up from her crouched position and walks over and takes a seat on the couch. “ i also heard that the last time we had a blizzard was ten years ago. like yeah, i was here when it happened but still. can you believe it ? like what do you mean 2016 was ten years ago ? ”
“Oh, yes, I remember that blizzard well,” Evie mused. “My daughter and I were stuck at home for days, but it was nice just to have a break from the pressures of every day life... It was a sure shock from what I was used to in California.”
Every now and then Evie missed being in Los Angeles where the air was warm all year round and when snow was hardly anything but a dream. But she grew up seeing the thick white blanket that covered the city and there was just something so nostalgic about it- it was even better when spent in front of a fire and in good company.
“Time doesn’t seem real when you say it’s 2026,” she then laughed. “Sometimes I still think it’s the eighties. And sometimes I still wish it was the eighties; everything seemed so much simpler. God, I hope that doesn’t make me sound too old!”
charlotte stood near the window, arms loosely folded, watching the snow come down in steady sheets. “i keep telling myself this is the kind of weather that’s supposed to make you productive,” she said, glancing over with a small, amused smile. “stay in, write, pretend the outside world doesn’t exist.”
she shrugged lightly. “turns out it mostly just makes me pace and check the window every five minutes.” her gaze met theirs again. “does snow make you want to hunker down, or does it just make you restless too?”
“Hunker down, without a doubt,” Evie answered, feeling a chill creep up her arms. “There’s nothing better than wrapping up with a blanket and having some snack and a hot cocoa on standby whilst the snow comes down. I do like being out in it, but not when it’s quite as bad as this and not when I can watch safely and comfortably from my couch.”
It was as if Evie could taste the cocoa now: sweet and warm and velvety… If only she had some in the cupboard. If only she had bought some the other day when she saw it on the self in the grocery store. Now it was the first thing on her to-do list once the snow had cleared up outside.
“And speaking of writing,” she then added, turning her attention back to Charlotte. “How’s yours going ? It’s been a while since I saw you, so I’ve not had the chance to ask. I’m sure you’ve been as busy as I have recently and I sure hope you’re cooking up something good.”

biography
— evie was born at 11:11am on 3rd august 1962 in new york city, usa, to edward wolfe, a corporate lawyer, and his wife anita, a history professor at nyu. she also has a younger brother, sebastian, with whom she has a tight knit relationship.
— evie was a quiet, studious child who loved school. she tried her best in every subject- even the ones she didn’t particularly like- but cake out with top grades in english, history, and drama. at first, she found herself wanting to become a teacher, but that dream was replaced with the idea of being a lawyer like her father. however, when she joined her high school drama class, she fell in love with acting and knew that was the thing she was meant to do.
— after high school, she attended juilliard, which she absolutely loved despite the challenges thrown her way. her family were thrilled when she was accepted and supported her through every moment- good and bad. she also met her first boyfriend there and was with him for two years before he decided to drop out.
— following juilliard, evie made a permanent move to los angeles, where she stayed with her brother (who was now an up-and-coming surgeon) until she found a place of her own and some kind of steady work. it was difficult for a while and evie found herself wanting to quit acting completely on numerous occasions, but her sebastian had always been evie’s biggest fan and pushed her to keep going. she credits him was the reason she got her first major role at the age of 23 after a string of pretty bad jobs. she wouldn’t have known what to do if it wasn’t for him.
— evie was once married to a fellow world renowned actor named victor ayres. they met when evie was twenty-seven and starring in a small role in the film in which he was the lead. even though he was several years older it was love at first sight; they married within eighteen months at victor’s estate in upstate new york. their marriage consisted of three very happy years and six very miserable ones living together in los angeles. the best thing to come of the relationship was their daughter, who had always been closer to evie- something which victor had always despised- and so decided to live with her after her parents’ divorce. victor wasn’t a terrible father, but he had a terrible temper along with a habit of being more engrossed in his work than in his family. evie herself always had time to be with her daughter no matter what.
— after the divorce, evie took her daughter to live on the other side of town, closer to the beach. life felt so freeing and peaceful now and evie promised to dedicate herself to her daughter and to be the most incredible, memorable actor she could be. her first role since becoming single was on a film set in 1920s chicago in which she played the feisty daughter of a gangster who had fallen in love with the detective protagonist. sure, it was cliché, but evie had never had more fun on set.
— evie’s acting career was always steady. she was mainly based in los angeles, but spent time filming abroad too, including portugal, japan, england, and italy. she also tried her hand at broadway and despite her the two shows she did being a success, she decided it wasn’t for her. film was her true love. her daughter even accompanied her a few times when filming on location; evie has always been grateful to have spent that precious time with her favourite person and when her daughter moved away she realised that work wasn’t everything and that one day soon she would whittle down her time acting to spend her so-called golden years with the person who mattered most to her.
— after having not long returned from a four month film production, evie is currently spending most of her time writing her memoirs. she also spends a lot of time hosting parties in her apartment, usually for friends but dedicated some to raising money for charity. other than that you can find her at the theatre, the cinema, the spa, any of the local cafés, and any kind of book shop.
wanted connections
— daughter: evie has a thirty year old daughter, who moved back to nyc with her in 2003; she always favoured her mother over her father and chose to live with evie after the divorce. the two have always had a strong relationship and can talk to each other about anything. they spend a lot of time together, often going to the cinema, theatre, or to art galleries amongst many other activities. (open to any white female fc who can pass for being michelle pfeiffer’s daughter & pass for being thirty!)
— best friend: this muse has been friends with evie practically since the day she moved back to the city. they bonded over parenthood, books, gossiping, and films amongst many other things and are now inseparable. they are each other’s shoulder to cry on, each other’s closest confidant, and have many happy times together. (open to any fc 55+ of any ethnicity!)
headcanons
— although she’ll drink anything except beer, evie absolutely loves gin. her favourite ones are fruity flavoured, like orange or raspberry, and usually drinks them with lemonade rather than tonic.
— evie loves to bake and every sweet treat she offers at her parties are handmade. she likes to secretly find out what someone’s favourite cake or biscuit is and surprise them when they turn up at her house. bringing a little joy to people makes her happy.
— evie has won nine awards for her acting career, including an oscar and three primetime emmys. she keeps them immaculately polished on a shelf in her living room and loves to show them off to guests.
— she has an instagram account with six million followers where she posts pictures of her cat, her loved ones, her baking, and behind the scenes photos of the film/tv show she’s currently working on, sometimes even posting photos from when she was an up and coming actress. evie will occasionally do an instagram live where she bakes and shares her recipes and tips with viewers.
— she has a small but beautiful and versatile collection of jewellery, most of which is sentimental. her ‘everyday’ earrings’ were gifted to her by her daughter and will only take them out to swap them for something more extravagant for a special occasion.
— evie always has a fresh vase of flowers in her kitchen. they’re usually her favourite red roses, but buys them to match the seasons (orange for autumn, white for winter, etc.). she finds they bring a smile to her face and loves smelling them as she walks past.
— evie has a secret letterboxd account and loves to read the reviews of her films and the funny comments that go with them when she’s feeling down. it’s also a reminder about how truly passionate she feels about movies and about her fans.
