CREW UPDATES: SERAPHINA DUPONT has been hired to work on Sapphire Falls. They look a lot like EMILY BLUNT and are 31 years old. They are known to be CHARMING and ENERGETIC but also can be SHORT and COLD. The Down & Dirty says they are into FOREPLAY and FRENCH KISSING but hate SCAT and WATERSPORTS. SERAPHINA also identifies as BISEXUAL. They are to report to the OTHER DEPT. as a STUNT PERFORMER.
❄ seraphina grew up in a wealthy family in the heart of england, london. wealthy meaning she got spoiled from time to time with anything she asked or even didn’t ask for.
❄ this didn’t came without a price though. her parents sold her out to an agent who got her on all sorts of commercials - and that’s how it started. her face became the moneymaker of the family. ever since she was three years old, she got thrown into the business unwillingly.
❄ she always faced family with a smile, even her own parents despite their quarrels that went on behind the curtains and the family portrait that showed happy family. how father knocked some sense into her now and then was something mother often enough pretended not to see. it was how they were raised - so she went through the same abuse whenever she disagreed to do a job, this only growing worse when she slowly but surely grew into a spoiled teenager.
❄ seraphina got sent to a private girls only high school and became one of the popular girls there, stepping into her mother’s footsteps as cheerleader - eventually head cheerleader. she threw big parties that most other families couldn’t affort, meaning they were much wealthier than others who sent their girl off to a private school.
❄ because this was a girl only school, she knew from a young age she wasn’t just into boys, but girls as well. with girls surrounding her most part of the day, boys soon weren’t even a subject anymore. truth was, most of her classmates were submissive enough to follow her lead whenever it came to subjects, or even experiences parents didn’t get to know about. at the age of sixteen she pretty sure knew well enough she had no interest in boys at all. but she never came out to her parents, knowing with their traditions they wanted her to marry a guy and have children. none of that was written in her future, not if it was up to her, but being thrown out by coming out wasn’t either so she stayed quiet instead.
❄ as soon as she turned eighteen, she got sent off to do multiple jobs outside france. american model companies wanted her and so she got to see more of the world, than just the eiffeltower every single day.
❄ the first time she had set foot in new york, she knew the city was gonna be her future residence. and no one was gonna stop her, not even her parents. over the years she made sure to convince her parents enough to make her move, on one condition: she wouldn’t stop being a model.
❄ this promise she had made with regret, knowing her parents didn’t know what horribleness went on in the industry. she had to cut out on food to stay skinny, had a poisonous coach who made sure she barely ate anything - just for the sake of the job. but when she found herself passing out over skipping meals during photoshoots, she couldn’t do it anymore. she fired the coach and broke down in her apartment that same night, drowning herself in alcohol.
❄ the morning after she quit her job, not caring one single bit about being a model any longer. she wanted to gain weight, not by fat but with muscle. she wanted to become stronger; so she signed herself up at the nearest gym and paid for a personal trainer to help her out.
❄ because she had to have a work visa to be able to stay in new york, she applied to a diner close to her apartment to help them out with dishes. that way she could pick up heavier trainings at the same gym and gain muscle. the only thing that kept her sane was the gym at that point, where she met other women who she saw as her inspiration to take it up a notch every single day and come back.
❄ when she had turned twenty-three, she had met a precious woman who had completely turned her world upside down. she hadn’t been like other women she had ever met in her life and it intrigued her. made her forget about the shitty world every time they decided to do something together. never was it labelled, or did they make it clear what they were; but sera surely knew it was more than just being friends. being around her made her heart beat a bit faster; and thicken her english accent now and then by accident.
❄ but the happiness didn’t last long; only a few months it had been before faith had taken away said happiness again from her and she was left alone. in new york, the city of dreams, or so people said. for a long time she felt useless in the city; not achieving any dream she had ever had. because the truth was, her parents had always decided everything for her, and she was at a loss. loss that soon turned into hope when one day an opportunity got thrown her way at the gym, when the job offer of becoming a stunt double became available. she’d be trained even more fiercer, get taught everything what there was to know about being a stunt performer; it was a job opportunity she couldn’t say no to. with a cheerful cry she had said yes.
❄ she gave up her job at the diner, trained almost night and day and visited sets; met famous actresses she had only ever dreamed of ever seeing in real life instead of a big cinema screen.
❄ ever since the job offer, she’s felt really comfortable and happy with her occupation and couldn’t be any happier. she still gets recognized now and then for being a model in the old days, but her happiness is with getting to kick ass, live a dangerous life and facing the risk of getting terribly hurt everyday with a big smile on her face, knowing she won’t ever be filmed again; have to face her parents ever again and can live her gay life in the city where dreams become reality.
