TW: ADOPTION, TW: INFERTILITY ISSUES
Sophie Elizabeth Campbell was born on April 22nd back in 1980 and was raised in Atlanta, Georgia. Life wasn't always sunshine and rainbows for her as Sophie was placed on the front steps of a fire station, she was left at the local hospital and eventually placed with CPS. Growing up, she was the shy kid who got moved from house to house and when she was actually and finally adopted at age 8 it gave her some peace.
Charlotte & Nicholas Campbell were born and raised here in Atlanta and have met each other during their freshman year of high school. He was the start basketball player, she was the star cheerleader. You could say their life was kind of like a romcom, they met and fell in love and became best friends. After dating for a while and graduating from college together, they decide to get married. He was a firefighter and she was an English teacher. After a year of marriage, the two had trouble getting pregnant for quite some time and they finally decided on adoption. They found Sophie when she was 8, and decided to foster her, and then eventually adopted her.
She grew up loving horses, baking and reading. Sophie was a straight A student and became a cheerlead just like Charlotte was and she had loved being apart of their family and loved being their daughter. When Sophie was 10, they graced and blessed her with a baby brother, and she couldn't of been happier and more excited to become a big sister. He was her best friend and the two looked out for one another.
As Sophie grew older, she had a great group of friends, got straight A’s in school and was at the top of her class. She was apart of the volleyball and cheerleading team in high school while she wrote for the school newspaper. She ended up going to Yale University to study English, and business. Sticking to the business side of things, she met and fell in love with her ex fiancé during her junior year in one of her business classes. The two were set to be married but ended it when Sophie had a pregnancy scare as she wasn't ready.
Getting a fresh start, Sophie decided to move to Mount Rose 6 years ago and has been calling it home ever since. Not really knowing what to do in life, after wedding dress shopping Sophie decided to become a wedding planner and that’s exactly what she did. Along side that, she decided to open up her own bridal store and sell wedding gowns naming it Sophies Bridal Shop.

BIO
Tommy was born and raised in Mount Rose, his mother worked at Daisy and his father owned Butchery On Main - it wasn’t a great wage but it was an honest wage. Tommy was the eldest of three (a younger brother and a younger sister) and they were raised to be very hands on in life, taught many handy life skills and were taught its better to be street smart than book smart
His childhood was great - playing out in the snow, heading to the ski resort whenever he could, but his mother began to get sick during his early years of high school. Her health declined rather rapidly and she passed away when Tommy was 16. His father was broken beyond repair, he could hardly get himself out of bed and had started to turn towards drinking to deal with his loss. Tommy, being the eldest, had to step up and look after his siblings and the house, and the family business too. His father had taught him young all the skills needed to take over the butchers because it was a Graves family tradition and so Tommy quite often found himself skipping school to keep money coming in to care for his family
He didn’t go to college (because he only just made it through high school) and he late teens/early 20s were tough because he had to watch his father’s alcoholism gradually become worse and despite how hard Tommy tried, the man just didn’t want saving. But this sort of left Tommy kinda messed up and broken inside because he never really had the chance to grieve himself?? So he kept all that sadness and hurt inside while he had to step up and look after everyone
Gradually, his father saw the light on the other side and sought out help and escaped his alcoholism. He took his job back at the butchers and Tommy could finally breathe but he realised he needed a change of scenery and needed something new so in his early 30s, he moved away from Mount Rose to San Francisco to reunite with some old high school friends
His new life in San Francisco was going pretty well until one night the police busted in to his apartment and both Tommy and his flatmate were arrested. Tommy spent the night in a cell however they had nothing to charge him with as all the charges related to his flatmate (possession of drugs) and Tommy was allowed to walk free the next morning
This exact morning was on the day that would change the entire course of his future - he met his future wife. Cordelia Rothschild was everything Tommy never knew he needed and they fell in love almost instantly. It was definitely a case of opposites attract and their love for one another was just pure intense passion and fire, it was incredible. They married and decided to move to Mount Rose because that was where his family was
Married life was great and wonderful until they started to realise that not only do opposites attract, but they also clash. They argued almost constantly and life got pretty miserable for Tommy for a while, until he decided to flee back to San Francisco to escape his failing marriage
Fleeing wasn’t the long term plan, but days turned to weeks, weeks to months, until eventually years... Three years later Tommy got a call from his father saying he was planning to retire and needed him home to run the family business and Tommy knew he couldn’t hide any longer

Born and raised Mount Rose native.
She’s an only child born to two loving parents and was a surprise baby since the doctors did not believe her mother could bare children. Her dad was a family practitioner so he is well known around the town for that. But he also had a need for adventure so skiing, snowboarding, waterskiing, and basically any adventure sport Mount Rose had to offer he’d be seen taking part. But that was also how he lost became wheel chair bound due to a skiing accident when Bonnie was 13.
Bonnie, unlike her father, did not much care for the adventurous side of life, but preferred to sit by the fire with her brand new boots and ski jacket. She’d always had a keen sense of fashion and eye for the finer things in life. So she’d let others do their adventuring.
Bonnie finished up college and headed back to Mount Rose as her mother’s own health began to fail. She has alzheimer’s and for the last 3 years has been fading fast. It’s rare for her mother to even recognize Bonnie these days.
Bonnie studied dance in school but now that she was taking care of her parents in Mount Rose, her artistic side had to be channeled in a new way. She’d always enjoyed baking and so applied for a job at Sweetie Pie’s. Cake decorating is by far her favorite part of the job.
Bonnie spends most of her time with friends, working and taking care of her parents, though they’ve recently moved into a home in Mount Rose which has taken a lot of pressure off of her. Still, she feels guilty about living her life sometimes. Because of this, her major outlet is shopping. She’s a complete shopaholic with some major mounting credit card debt.
