leila george . cis woman . she/her . well would you look at that , if it isnโt AGLAIA O'ROURKE wandering around glenview ! the THIRTY-THREE year old has been in town now for ONE WEEK. from what i remember , theyโre known for being a little bit CYNICAL, but donโt let that sway yeโ , theyโre also fairly CLEVER too ! must be why theyโre known as THE MASTERMIND . in fact , theyโre known to remind people of R.J. MACREADY from THE THING. as far as i know , they knew poor katie balmayne , in fact i hear that they were A SUMMER FLING way back when. i wonder how theyโre coping seeing all these familiar faces again โฆ

TRIGGER WARNING โ child abuse ( mental and physical ), mentions of drug usage and alcoholism, mentions of knives, familial death ( brother )
aglaia o'rourke was born in glenview, ireland, to a rather large family. aggie had three older brothers, all of which ( aside from one ) exuded the same nonchalant, neglectful behavior that her parents did.ย the family lived in poverty with both parents struggling to hold down a job due to alcoholism.ย
aggie was able to compartmentalize both the physical and emotional abuse that she did receive. aglaia and the brother born a year before her, silas, grew very close. around the time aggie turned 16, she and her brother attended a house party together. it was here that her brother got into a serious fight and ended up being repeatedly stabbed in front of aggie.ย
this trauma was only really felt by aglaia; her family did not seem phased by the occurrence, shedding very little tears at silasโs death. this event tanked aglaiaโs mental stability, and she ended up moving in with a friend to finish secondary school.ย
in 1987, the year aglaia finished secondary school, she left glenview to explore ireland on her own. venturing from town to town, aglaia resorted to robbing petrol stations with misguided souls she met along the way, earning enough to skate by as she couch surfed with strangers. fearless and intelligent, aggie treated her robberies the same way she did chess: something to win at.
at the age of 22, aglaia returned to glenview, a couple years after katieโs disappearance and death. the news had only just reached aggie, and she felt nostalgic enough to return to the town she was born in.ย
upon arrival, aggie met an old childhood acquaintance that fascinated her. it wasnโt long that the two resided in glenview, making off to commit a string of robberies in dublin. the year and a half they spent doing this was the best year of aglaiaโs life, who reveled in the thrill that their adventures offered.ย
the duo got sloppy and even committed low-security bank heists, and this ended up backfiring on them. aglaia was apprehended by the gardai as her partner made away with their money; she was sentenced to three years in a low security prison.ย
aglaia spent much of her time alone in her own company, reflecting on her life and decisions. her stint in prison steeled her and only motivated her criminal interests further. she dreamed of leading her own heist team one day, possibly on the coast of the united states.ย
upon release, aggie was somewhat of a new person; she had grown to be more reclusive, and fell face first into the throes of alcoholism. attempting a life on the up and up, aglaia spent the next six years of her life as a bartender.ย
despite becoming a contributing member of society, she felt as though she was in a haze living such a repetitive, boring life. aggie was suspicious of others and spent most of her free time drinking, reading, or playing chess with willing strangers.ย
it wasnโt until an invitation to a wedding in glenview came along that aggie felt a splinter of hope for some excitement. returning to glenview once again has been somewhat of a trip for the stone cold, intelligent alcoholic, but she hopes to find some purpose there.
aglaia is based off of mac from the thing. while their occupations and backstories donโt really align, their mannerisms and behaviors are very similarย ! check out her about page to learn more about her personality; itโs linked above.
