i just saw daphne fitz at the florence. don’t you think she looks like fola evans akingbola? anyway, she’s a twenty nine year old photographer, and she moved away, but came back three months ago to live with her parents for financial reasons. she did graduate in 2007.
Hi! I’m Dove, and this is Daphne, and I’m just in general super excited about this group. Here’s a lil short breakdown of Daphne’s life in bullets -
She was put into foster care when she was very young, and when she was five, the Fitz’s, who were her foster parents, adopted her. Her family was very loving and supportive, but growing up there was nothing Daphne wanted more than to get the hell out of Padstow.
She was a good student, and worked very hard in school, but she wasn’t necessarily the “teacher’s pet” type. Daphne was more of the student who argued with the teacher, and got her fair share of detentions. She didn’t like school, but she did like learning, and she knew that she needed to get good grades and study if she wanted to get out of town.
After high school, she moved to Juneau, Alaska to major in marine biology at the University of Alaska. During college, she started getting into photography, specifically wildlife and nature photography. After graduation, she got a research job but quit to do freelance photography. She’s traveled all over the country and outside of it as well for her work.
Six months ago, she had her last job, and spent three months looking for more work before she ended up moving back to Padstow to live with her parents. She’s been doing some photography, but nothing she really enjoys, and not enough to get her own place.
Some potential connection ideas : Friends from high school, someone she had a kind of competitive relationship with (trying to be top of the class, that kind of thing), exes (I think Daphne probably only had one or two relationships in high school, maybe someone she broke up with before she left for college and didn’t really contact after that), childhood friends, someone she had an antagonistic relationship with in school, and I’m definitely open to other ideas!
i just saw stephanie 'stevie' byrd at clearview park. don’t you think they look like brie larson? anyway, she is a twenty-eight year old personal trainer/yoga instructor and she is still here because her original plan to become an olympic athlete fell through. they did graduate in 2007.
hello, i’m duckie (21, she/her) and i’m v excited for this!!! more info about my baby stevie under the cut. please HMU to plot or LIKE THIS and i’ll come to you!
tw: car accident, death, injury
ok so....back in high school stevie was your classic star athlete. she ran track and let me tell u....she was hella good. state champ, broke records, the whole deal. she had scholarships lined up college & had started training for the olympics when she was just a little youngin
she’s always been a smart kid, though. she bumped up a grade when she was younger. smart, athletic, cute, the whole package right?? except....she’s always been AWKWARD as HELL
so...she was kind of a hermit??? she didn’t have a really big social life because her parents and her coaches rly had her focused on training
she never went to parties. didn’t drink, didn’t do drugs, her whole life was track basically and even though she rly liked running she was??? p miserable. she just wanted a NORMAL life but everything was dedicated to track u know
senior year, her and some friends got into a severe car accident that ended her running career. two broken legs left stevie out of the track game and took away her scholarships and survivor’s guilt after the death of one of her friends kept her from getting back out there and trying again after she had healed
she almost had to take senior year off and start over again but she pushed through and graduated on time (early, technically) even though she missed prom bc she was in the hospital
she rly was down in the dumps after the accident and all. physio was HARD. she was angry and frustrated and wanted to give up but again....bein the determined soul she is, she pushed thru. even though she vowed to never run track again, she missed working out. she missed runners high and feeling the wind in her hair.
even though her physio was hard, it felt GOOD when she finally started to get through it. it was such a relief to go back to being active again and doing what she loved most. yoga became a part of her physio as well and she fell in loveee
she tries her best to keep a positive mind and going to the gym and doing yoga rly help her clear her head of negative thoughts. it’s been her solace and....rly saved her life.
she works as a personal trainer & opened her own yoga studio a few years ago
after graduation and after coming out of her slump, she’s gotten less awkward and better at talking to people but she’s still....a little shy and very easily flustered lmaoooo. she likes her alone time, still isn’t really big on partying or drinking THAT much bc ya girl on a health kick, but she likes to dance and stuff so she’s still gna go out to the bar u know?
more or less just a chill gal. she’s got a semi-boppin fitness instagram & she gets really uncomfortable when people bring up her failed olympic dreams so pls don’t talk abt them LMAO.
