intro / aurora “rora” cole
rora is a just a really happy/genuine/friendly/energetic person
tbh i’m not even sure where she finds all of her energy most days??
maybe it’s all that tea she drinks
literally is drinking tea 24/7 and if she doesn’t have a mug with her you should probably be concerned
has literally the best memories from when all seven coles were alive and happy and living in england together
the day that her parents died was literally the worst
susan was hella determined to move back to england but it was rora who told her that she and the younger ones would move to america with her, instead
she knew that susan would abandon everything to be there for them and rora wouldn’t let her
(unfortunately she still kinda did (s/o to the breakup w/ greg) but at least she kept her job??)
rora doesn’t have too much down time anymore (working for david lennox will do that to you tbh) but she loves to read
she mostly reads the classics tbh but books like bridget jones are her guilty pleasure reads
also has a weakness for going shopping but she’s also pretty good w/ her money and tbh i think window shopping is half the fun
her siblings mean E V E R Y T H I N G to her
she’d literally drop everything to help them tbh
also she loves nothing better than just hanging w/ them and it’s really sad that they’ve all grown up and moved away and i think that she is v aggressive about them having weekly dinners
very happy that gigi has moved in with her
tbh i don’t think she likes living alone
they spend a lot of time talking about their bosses tbh
rora went to college and had plans of working for a publishing company
after she graduated she planned on getting a job @ decker publishing but she didn’t get the job
she did get several other job offers but they were all far away and ultimately she turned them down b/c being close to family is way more important to rora than her career tbh
and that’s how she ended up working for david lennox
literally everyone told her not to even bother applying but rora was determined to get a job and he couldn’t be that horrible (rora is def the sort of person to like/trust you until you give her reason not to).
and while things have definitely been ... interesting working for mr. lennox she doesn’t think that he’s nearly as bad as everyone thinks
he’s always very professional w/ her and she doesn’t have any complaints (altho it’s kinda awkward whenever she’s there when he’s w/ his family ...)
rora doesn’t have much romantic history to speak of -- the only guy she’s ever dated is jeremy anderson and they started dating soon after she got here from england
but then broke up when she went to college and when she came back he was dating someone else and she assumed he moved on (too bad rora still hasn’t)
and now it’s obvious that he’s into tess potter and ~cue sad puppy eyes rora~
but ultimately rora just wants him to be happy and she probably likes tess, too, and so she weirdly ships it???
rora makes the best cupcakes
she’s super ocd about some things and likes to be very organized (especially when it comes to papers/important documents and her clothes) but she’s not always as organized (especially at home) as she’d like b/c when she gets busy she tends to let things slide (altho she’ll fix it all on her day off).
she is always very organized and on top of things at work tho, even if somethings things at home go a little crazy
