growing up with the last name “mcalister”, eara knew a lot was expected of her. she was always proactive in trying to figure out the best way to make the world a better place. whether that be trick or treating for unicef or helping the local food bank, or volunteering at the animal shelter. she always had this overwhelmingly generous spirit but also the guilt that went along with it because she felt she had so much when others had so little. as adolescence dawned this guilt quickly turned into anger and she found herself angry at the world and the inaction of governments to create positive change. especially, when she was trapped in a town like wellshade. when she turned eighteen she deferred her acceptance into sarah lawrence and joined the peace corps for a year. when she came back, she was more motivated than ever to become an activist. she did her degree in social work from sarah lawrence and then joined unhcr as a caseworker. she was adamant on distancing herself from the mcalister name. when she realized people responded to her name and her family’s name she decided to use it to her advantage. with her mother being a lawyer with the UN, it gave her the perfect platform to sort of use her connections in a positive way. three years ago, she surprised everyone by marrying her boyfriend of three months. it was a wedding of convenience because eara just wanted to get married as it was a part of her “five year plan”. there were problems in the marriage for awhile with eara constantly travelling for her work. a month ago, he passed away in a car accident and since, eara has returned to wellshade to grieve, but here’s the real awful part of her story. her husband’s brother is her assistant and she has been sleeping with him for the last six months so the guilt has been overwhelming
her assistant/lover ( I’ll have a request up later on but if someone’s interested hit me up ), friends, fellow activists/lobbyists, enemies, just all the things.
tiny ginger out saving the world but really bad at normal things like emotions and dealing with life.
