GABRIELA GÓMEZ. 25. CIS WOMAN. SHE/HER is here! They’ve lived in Cascade for THEIR ENTIRE LIFE and currently reside in OLD CASCADE ( CHINATOWN ). GABBY is a DANCER AT SIRENS and frequently hears that they look a lot like RACHEL ZEGLER. Funny, huh? If ever caught by Letterboxd, they’d say JENNIFER'S BODY is in their Top 4 and the theme song to their life’s soundtrack would be PUSSY TALK by CITY GIRLS.
about the girl 💋
gabby was born in cascade and raised by a single mother in a mercury flats apartment. sheila tried her best, or so she likes to say, but that doesn't mean that her best was necessarily enough. she was more of a cool older sister figure to them than she ever was a mother, but she was all gabby and her sibling had and so she loved her anyway — her great many faults and all.
sheila job hopped often, got her revolving door of boyfriends to cough up some cash or pay one of her bills, sold her remaining benefits, and shoplifted when all else failed to provide. one thing about her was that she was always going to get that $$$ one way or another. did it make her a topic of discussion among cascade's most infamous gossipmongers? yeah, but it also meant that her babies could have shit like shoes that actually fit, so she paid them no mind. the ones who got it, got it. the ones who didn't? fuck 'em!
when it came to school, gabby actually proved to be pretty decent at it — more than decent actually — but sheila didn't exactly know how to support that and so she kinda just... didn't. :( she had always pushed gabby to look for ways to climb socially, to always go for those with fatter pockets and cozy up to them, but it never occurred to her that maybe gabby herself could be the one with fat pockets one day. unfortunately... that lack of support in conjunction with her already being a bit of a troublemaker in class meant that she never dared dream for much. lowkey... if her own mother didn't believe in her, the woman who's supposed to know her best, then why should she?
it wasn't that much of a surprise then when she didn't go to a traditional college after graduating and instead began her journey to becoming a jill of many trades. she kept working at sunrise diner for a while, would thrift & gussy up & resell, generally do just about anything if it meant a quick buck, got her partners to treat her, and even got her cosmetology license after one of her opps threatened to call the health department on her for doing home appointments lmao. all the while, she was posting about her daily life on tiktok, doing things like grwm's, mini vlogs ( if you could even call them that ), cooking fails, and misc stuff like that.
really, she was just trying to put herself out there, trying to make her name mean something, and saving every penny and dime that she could. real hustler girl hours. what for? good question! gabby liked the beauty biz, and she was actually good at it, but... was it really her thing? and would it get her to where she wanted to be? she was having her doubts — doubts which had her revisiting an old dream of hers again.
see, when gabby was younger, there was one of her mom's boyfriends who was more involved than all the others. he paid her summer dance camp fees quite a few times, drove her to and from dance team meets sometimes, and was one of the few to really foster that passion of hers. if she were braver, maybe she would've gone to school for it. she wasn't, though, and so gabby found herself on google one night typing up "how to become a stripper in california" and the rest was history.
the thing is... gabby thrives off of attention. she likes the glitz and the glamour. she loves dancing. and quite frankly? she knows how to get people to part with their money. mami worked her ass off trying to shape her daughter into some kind of schmoozing queen and it worked! another bonus? her tiktok audience really likes and even prefers any content related to it.
nowadays, dancing at sirens and posting on her socials are her main focus. she fled the nest the moment she was making enough to sustain herself and rents a lil one bedroom apt in chinatown. despite what appearances might suggest, gabby is still saving, saving, saving. she knows this gig is only as viable for as long as her looks are and she wants to be prepared for whenever her next chapter comes.

headcanons ✨
has not worn a bra unless absolutely necessary in who knows how long
she's like that drunk girl in the club bathroom that becomes your instant temporary bestie and tells you you're so pretty and asks what lippie you're wearing but like all the time
will pretend to be stupid or a newb or bad at something if she thinks it'll get her smth but she's actually much smarter than she cares to let on ☝️
lowkey highkey views relationships as a source of anxiety because she didn't have good examples growing up and is so focused on getting everyone to like her that she then worries that they like the perpetual performance more than her for real + that everyone wants something and they prob want that something from her more than they do her ☹️ augh...
when the line between you and the performance blurs and you no longer know where it ends and you begin omggg 🤩 #yay #notthinkingaboutit
luvs nerds and geeks and dorks DOWN! please info dump on her and tell her everything you know 🫦
the idea of someone not liking her simply does not compute in her brain. she refuses to believe it or accept it and it will eat her up 5ever. WHY DON'T YOU LIKE ME WHAT DID I DO PLEASE GOD STOP THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE ME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <- her in her head probably.
you simply will nawt catch her slipping. sources are saying she's divalicious at all times #true...
sources are also saying she's been known to dig for gold but omgggggg who caresssssss like god forbid a woman do anything 🙄
highkey looks and acts very much like her mother in certain lights which is concerning but once again she is #notthinkingaboutit
your fave is problematic: has learned how to cry on demand and has weaponized her big brown doe eyes to use for evil purposes
connection ideas 💜
literally any and all connections pleek if you want it i'll give it to you muah 🫶 + feel free to assume a connection and i'll roll with it idc godmod me <3
will be sending this to the main one day but her older sibling would be so cool :3 they can be a full or half sibling, whatever works!
step siblings who aren't really step siblings but their parents dated for a time soooo same thing rly
FRIENDS!!!!!!! childhood friends, new or budding friends, ex friends, smth where gabby thinks y/m is her friend and y/m is like can someone please extract me from this situation already, someone she only runs into at bars/clubs when they're both shitfaced, friends who drifted apart, went on a date and realized they were better as friends, etc etc gimmeee
a homoerotic codependent same sex friendship that tbh was kinda an unspoken situationship that they just barely survived bc that's a canon event fr
sirens patrons 🫶 can be whatever :p
y'all met on an app and went on a date but lowkey she just went bc she wanted to eat at a certain restaurant or do xyz on someone else's dime and now it's kinda weird bc she ghosted u after.................. #sorry
friends with benefits or old flings or stuff of that nature bc a girl's got needs
neighbors :)
real exes......... but if gabby dated you it's prob bc she loved you fr so 💔💔💔 resulting relationship can go either way depending on what we plot
exes except y/m is one of the ppl who can #confirm the gold digger rumors lmao oopppssssss 😇
an almost something or unrequited crush.......... this would drive gabby clinically insane but das ok 😊 or maybe y/m had a crush on her........
a parental figure who actually gaf would have her acting unwise and probably make her come apart at the seams but she needs it tbh
