wait a minute, is juliet lawrence still in town? i thought i saw a flash of a worn out notebook, suede shoes ruined by rain, the smell of melted chocolate! last i heard they were working as a journalist nearby. when it’s the (virgo)’s birthday on 9/12. i forget that they’re naive and celebrate that they’re empathetic. i hear liability by lorde every time i think of them. ⌠ greta onieogou. 25, bisexual, cis female, she/her. ⌡
A B O U T
✿ she’s the daughter of some government dude- directly working at the pentagon and all that very important stuff.
✿ she was always more on the quiet side, although she’s not exactly anti-social. she was just usually the observer type, rather than a participant in life.
✿ his father’s life was always full of secrets, but some she managed to crack just by eavesdropping on conversations and sneaking into his office, looking at his files, etc. she was always too smart, which was something her father took pride of. she grew up believing she would be an agent of the cia or something.
✿ during her life, she heard about a lot of things she shouldn’t have heard of, but never really spoke a word, knowing his father treated these matters as confidential. it was not until she was a bit older, that she started learning the difference between right and wrong, that she realized some of the things his father was involved were fucked up.
✿ there was always a battle inside her between loving or fearing her father, but one night it all became a little bit clearer. he arrived home with a box full of papers, settled by the fire and she vividly remembers the man sweating and cursing as he ripped paper after paper and threw it at the fire while she spied him from the stairs instead of being asleep. her mom walked back and forth in the living room, crying i told you so over and over again. juliet went back to her room when her father yelled back at her and pinned her against a wall. she got too scared, and to this day it’s a scene she can’t shake away.
✿ only a couple weeks later, another big thing happened that changed juliet’s life. as she arrived home from school, she was surprised by the presence of cop cars and an ambulance right outside, who wouldn’t let her go inside. it was then that they took her mother out of the house in a body bag. they didn’t have to tell her- she just knew.
all she had left was her father. he had never been nothing but loving for her, but the more time that passed, the more she found out, and the more she started suspecting that he had something to do with his mother’s death, despite it being ruled out as a suicide.
✿ she went off to college a couple years later, where the obvious choice was journalism. she had been made to do that, and with a new mission in life, to uncover and denounce all the wrong the government has done, she has been working her little ass off ever since.
✿ she still has a relationship with her father- and quite a tight one, except it’s very one sided. juliet doesn’t want to lose the support, because she’s no way ready to be fully independent, but she dreams of the day she can be.
✿ she’s currently working on the fires in centralia, because she doesn’t think it was something that happened. and after finding a file in her dad’s computer with the name of the town, she decided to come down to do some research.
✿ juliet is still very much a quiet type of girl. she likes to be around people, but she’s usually the one smiling in silence and laughing with her mouth covered. she’s very bashful around boys, and very easily manipulated. she’s always willing to see the best in people despite the wrongs she has experienced.
