         EVEN DOUBT CAN BE DELICIOUS / OLDER VERSE

 “ And it washes off of all the dirty dishes. When it's done, I can smile, It's on someone else's plate for a while...  ” 

When Elle Tompkins was ten, she realized something about herself. She had a passion for baking. The way everything flowed together, calming her. It was as if nothing else mattered. Dancing may have been her dream, but baking was a reality. If she didn’t make it as a dancer, she’d open up a bakery. 

Almost nineteen years later, that was exactly what she did. New Ham had been established for quite a while,  they had farmed for a while, learned how to make their own food and materials. The Lexie drama was still going on, it was a constant power struggle, and by this time? Elle desperately wanted Allie to win. 

Elle opened up Ballet Bake Shop, as a place to get away from all of that drama, to have a peaceful place to hang out.  To be around with all her friends, and just relax. 

bottom line: elle runs a bakery. i love her. can be adapted into any au.

PAST STORY LINES

Rebekah grew up poor, one of six siblings, in the country side of Rome.  Her youngest brother was killed when Gauls invaded their lands.  Her father, Mikael, then tried to sacrifice her siblings to Mars so that the god of war would take favor on Mikael and give him the strength to defeat all Gauls.  Rebekah and her siblings fled to Rome where they attempted to engage guests in helping them to defeat their father.  This story line was discarded after two months.  It was difficult for guests to believe in the illusion that they, with no battle experience, could defeat a seasoned warrior such as Mikael who took his children down with ease but turned inept when faced with a guest.  

Aurora was the shining star of the emperor’s crown.  Her beauty was well known throughout Rome, and noted particularly by the gladiator, Kol.  Guests were enlisted to help the star crossed lovers run away together or to turn them into Aurora’s father, the emperor.  This story line was discarded after twenty two months.  Initially, the story line was popular with couples honeymooning in the park, and still was at the time that it was phased out.  However, many people were upset that the lovers would not be disloyal to each other, with Aurora refusing to couple with the men, even in exchange for their help.  Aurora was frequently thrown to her father’s mercy, which typically resulted with her being killed in the Colosseum.

CURRENT STORY LINE

As guests seemed to like the idea of seducing the Emperor’s daughter, ROMEWORLD park runners chose to keep Aurora in that role, but they learned from their past mistakes.  No one wants to be a hero unless they get the girl.  So now guests are afforded that opportunity.  Aurora is offered to enchant guests and entice them into forming a coalition to overthrow her father, the Emperor and seize control of Rome from the tyrants hands.  Once engaged, Aurora introduces guests to Roman senators and army captains to try and help them in their efforts to conquer Rome.  Thus far, no guest has been successful.  Typically, guests are captured by the soldiers, and held overnight, at which point the story line resets.  

CONNECTIONS

@kolhearted - formerly her lover until the story line was rewritten.  Sometimes there’s a glitch and Aurora finds herself crying when watching him fight in the Colosseum.

Name: Aurora de Martel Face claim: Rebecca Breeds Age: 25 Role: Guest

Short bio: Mothers didn’t die in childbirth.  Not anymore. That wasn’t supposed to happen in this day and age.  And yet, as Aurora de Martel took her first breath, her mother took her last.  Of course, aurora doesn’t remember such things.  She was only a baby.  Yet, so many others do.  Her father ignored his new born daughter in favor of screaming at doctors and nurses to save his wife.  He didn’t even pick her up to hold her until the paparazzi arrived to intrude on the family’s grief.  No, the first person to hold her was her brother Tristan, and he refused to let his baby sister go.  Maybe he was afraid that if he let her go, she’d go to the same place that his mother had.  It’s not like he and Aurora ever spoke of it much.  Still, Tristan never stopped protecting her, not even when she asked him to ease back to let her live.  Tristan was resolute and steadfast in his devotion to his sister.  He shielded her from all as many of life’s ills a he could, but he could not shield her from their father’s disfavor.  Of course, the Count never actually abused his daughter.  No, that would require him to be in the same room as her for any stretch of time.  He sent her to the best schools, provided her with the best clothes, everything she could ask for really.  Except his affection of course.  

In many ways, her life really wasn’t all that different from the lives of the hosts in Westerosworld.  Her father demanded that she behave as a proper lady in the most antiquated sense of the word.  she was good at it too, when the mood struck her.  Helped along by her brother’s love of seeing her behave “properly.”  Really, Aurora only minded it when it prevented her from doing as she pleased, which was not all tat often.  But her father expected her to behave in much the same way that the male hosts of Westerosworld expected their women to behave.  To stay in the park was not much of a change for her.  Of course, she had plumbing in the real world.  Aurora missed that.  But still, she returned to Westerosworld often.   It was an addiction for Aurora.  She could waste away months at a time in the park.  The pretty gowns, the dancing. Aurora loved it all.  It felt more real than her home some of the time. Her father was always busy grooming her brother to take over the company, and he’d always hated Aurora; he was only too pleased to lose her to the park.  Her brother Tristan was not so pleased.  Every time she came to Westerosworld, he would inevitably arrive to drag her away.  It was a shame really, he probably would have liked the place.  But she always came back.  She could lose herself in the fantasy of it all, and the romance.  No one ever displeased her here, and if they did, well, they would have to deal with her wrath.  She only had to act like a proper lady if and when it suited her.  There were no consequences because, well, if she didn’t like the way something went, she could demand a do over.  A perfect world.

BASICS

Based on: Sleeping Beauty Alignment: Villain  Face Claim: Rebecca Breeds Abilities: Dream-walking- Aurora can only connect with others through their dreams.  it is not necessary that they be dreaming of her, or even that they’ve ever met her.  even Aurora isn’t quite sure how she ends up in certain dreams, but once she finds herself in a person’s dreams, she can always find her way back, as long as they are asleep.  In the dream world, Aurora has limited ability to change the dream without the dreamer’s consent and usually the dreamer themselves is in control of the dream.  More often than not, she uses the dream to win the dreamer’s love and devotion, encouraging them to rescue her sleeping body in the hopes that instead they end up dead in the forest of thorns that surrounds the castle where her body is held.   

HISTORY

Aurora de Martel was forced to live a lie and she intends to make others pay.  After being gifted with beauty and song, she was cursed with the prophecy that on her sixteenth birthday, she would prick her finger and die.  The last of her fairy godmother’s, unbeknownst to Aurora converted that death to a deep sleep.  Of course, on the eve of her the foretold day, the fairies that had sheltered her, supposedly for her own protection, failed to tell her that little bit.  They were much too busy claiming to have protected her by forcing her to live in rags in the middle of the woods, to attempt to placate her with promises of the life she would lea now that she knew who she was, but Aurora was still plagued by her days of living as another.  They haunted her, and angered her that she had been used and deceived.  What was more, she believed herself to have finally found love in the arms of a handsome stranger and now this supposed love was one that she would be denied because he was unfitting of a princess.

Aurora thought that pricking her finger would kill her.  She thought it was a means of taking control of her life and deciding something for herself.  Except, instead of dying, Aurora fell into a deep sleep.  It took some time to realize that she was walking in the dreams of others.  She turned their dreams to nightmares that didn’t always end when the victim awoke.  In rare cases, she even lured them to betray their own true loves to come and save her, only to lose their lives in the forest of thorns around the castle where her body rests.  Though her body sleeps, she is constantly in and out of the minds of others.  She draws on their insecurities and plays games with their thoughts in any she can.  IN there, She is the one in control of her fate, though, it would be nice if there was someone to wake her up.

CONNECTIONS

WANTED - Former betrothed - While living with her fairy godmothers as a peasant, Aurora met a stranger in the woods.  She fell in love as young girls often do with handsome strangers.  At the time, Aurora didn’t see the harm in loving him, but her godmother’s quickly informed her that not only was she truly the lost princess, but that she was already promised to marry another.  Little did Aurora know that the “stranger” and her betrothed were one in the same.   NOTE:  this is not necessarily her true love, though Aurora does believe the stranger was.  Whether or not this is actually the case is subject to change.    

@damaseisotiras - Maleficent - As a child, Aurora was gifted with beauty, and a sweet voice, but she was “cursed” as well.  It was foretold that on her 16th birthday, Aurora would prick her finger on a spindle and, thanks to the final gift of her god mother, fall into a deep sleep.  When confronted with the knowledge that she had been living lie, living as a peasant when she was a princess, Aurora decided the best way to try and control her fate was to choose to fall into the sleep foretold at her christening.

Verse Bio

Contrary to the most famous ex-pats, Aurora de Martel actually left Paris.  The Stein’s had long since split and the young woman decided to see what in America was so bad that it was worth leaving the way so many ex-Pat’s had.  Though the nobility her family traced ancestry to had long been deposed, Aurora was still styled as “the Lady Aurora” with influence in the worlds or art and literature.  What better place to make her mark than the New World?  Of course, then Prohibition hit and times got tough for the young heiress.  Luckily, a generous soul showed her the way to Club Mystic.  Of course, Aurora does bring back champagne when she can, after all, not only does she like the club, but she likes the owners, and if a good time can be had, well, Aurora’s happy to do what she can to stay in the good graces of the owners.  After all, with a disapproving father, and an overprotective brother, seeking refuge in Europe hardly seems appetizing.  With Club Mystic to keep her in booze, why return to the control of the men in her life?

anica  ☾ vampire  ☾ florist  Ⅱ ;V: GOTHAM SPN.

                                                           [ BIO ] 

Name: Anica Sala Age: Roughly 300. Species: Vampire Current Location: Gotham City Previous Location: Romania FC: Iulia Cirstea

Miss Sala was turned sometime in the 1720′s around age 23, though she remembers none of it. Rather than being snatched and attacked, as is common among victims of vampiric feedings, she was already on her deathbed after fleeing a raid on her village while fatally injured. Before collapsing, she managed to run past the outskirts of her home and onto the gardened grounds of a nearby noble family, who happened to be, well, afflicted. In honesty, she may have actually died- which would account for her inability to recall what would have been a tremendously painful transformation, but she awoke within the house, the matriarch informing her both that she’d been turned in order to keep her from dying, and that she was now part of their family. Since her own had been killed before her during the raid, she was desperate for attachment and thus became the adopted daughter of the Sala family. Anica remained with them for a hundred years or so, just her and her ‘parents,’ before one day another child was adopted under similar circumstances. A sickly street boy, around ten, had approached the nobles to beg for money, but collapsed before them. Her mother, Dacina, chose once again to bring someone new into their home, as she had always been distraught over being unable to have children of her own. Though the boy lived for a few days at the manor, it was soon clear he would not make it, and thus he also was turned. Anica bonded instantly with the child, as they both were trained and taught how to function as vampires together, and the siblings were inseparable for many decades. As the lands, boundaries, and political affiliations of the province and country changed around them, the family moved and adapted, eventually coming into close contact with several other noble families of the same species, and forming a social and political body- a court system, so to speak. Through this established system of nobles, she became very close with two others of different families who were (physically) around her own age: Eliza and Adel. Decades spent together formed a close bond between all three, Eliza serving as a ghost of the sister Anica lost in the raids, and Adel eventually becoming her lover. Though he was planning on asking the Salas for Anica’s hand, politics within the court began to shift, and he was forcibly engaged instead to Eliza- an event that was terribly painful for Anica but yet understood and accepted. However, this was the first taste of something much worse. Political resentments continued to grow- families became more affluent, more power hungry, and eventually there was a mass slaughter under the guise of a coup- and the Salas were among the targets, despite not being all that threatening. Both her parents and her younger brother, still a child both physically and by age, were killed in a violent attack on their home: by Eliza’s family, with Eliza’s enthusiastic and knowing consent. In fact, she was present at the time, and was the one to destroy Anica’s brother before her eyes. Naturally, Anica reacted with unspeakable anger and grief, and in turn killed Eliza in an exceedingly violent manner. As she fled from her home, she ran into Adel, who seemed clueless about the entire endeavor. Nonetheless, she attacked him too, although could not bring herself to kill him, both due to her lingering attachment to him and her inability to solidify his involvement in the coup. She disappeared, becoming a nomad and wandering the country for many more years, watching as civilizations grew and technology advanced, before she decided in the modern era that she could no longer remain in Romania if she ever wanted to move on. Anica ended up in Gotham nearly entirely by accident, but found the city very suitable to her needs and nature. She opened a florist’s shop as her source of income, both as a tribute to the garden in which she was found, and because the strong scent of the flowers could distract her enough from the scent of her human customers- who she does not intend to attack. As she was taught by the Salas, she feeds only when necessary and usually chooses targets that are far from innocent- something her soon developed criminal associations and lifestyle made infinitely easier. Her personality traits and the specifics of her business and its involvement in crime remain the same as they are in ;V: BLINDING, her main Gotham verse, which can be found linked in the PROFILE page.
