( zoe kravitz, nonbinary, they/she, aquarius, 29 ) i spotted willow russell at the beach today. don’t you know them? they live down by the rocks and usually hang out with the skaters & families clique. from what i’ve heard, they can be destructive, but they’re also passionate. i always think of them when i hear cherry bomb - the runaways and tend to associate them with scarlet red lips, 70s band tees, & the bitterness of black coffee .

𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞.
born in the supposed “ rough side of town ” , willow was born into a somewhat nuclear family , two present parents , a younger sister , and all the love that a child could ask for .
her parents kristen and isaiah were your typical sunhollow couple , high school sweethearts , and madly in love . isaiah being the laid back stoner type and kristen being your stereotypical type a suburban mom .
isaiah was the more laid back of the pair , being the sole owner of the rocks skate park ( where he acted as a father figure for anyone who set foot on the ramps ) , and coming from a less than glamorous childhood himself , believed in giving your children space to grow and adapt into their own person .
their mother kristen , on the other hand the first to bring over fresh baked goods and homemade casseroles to the new neighbors , heavily involved in the pta , and the most visible parents at any school function geared towards their kids .
it was almost stifling how much the kristen was involved in their children’s lives , always on top of their grades , their extracurricular involvement , essentially any aspect of their children’s lives that she could control they took the liberty in doing so .
though that’s not to say that she wasn’t concerned with how her children felt , more so that she was convinced their way was the right way .
the russells balanced each other out perfectly , and it continued to be that way for as long as willow could remember it .
a rather well behaved child , willow tried their absolute best to fly under their mother’s radar , which is extremely difficult when you’re the eldest daughter of only two . so willow subsequently felt a lot of the pressure of her mother from a young age .
due to her mother’s overbearing nature willow naturally gravitated towards being a daddy’s girl . spending any and all free time she could with him and from the minute she was old enough to walk he taught her how to skate , something that became a bonding experience for both of them , as she got better and better , their bond grew stronger and stronger .
rain or shine , there wasn’t a single day that willow didn’t spend with her father . everyone in the rocks joked that she was a derivative of him , a spitting image if anyone had ever seen one .
and as willow grew up things became no different .
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐞.
high school came around and willow got two extremely different notions from their parents . their mother wanted her to buckle down and focus on choosing a sensible career , while their father wanted her to follow their passions in the same vein that he did ( his being a now infamous band , at least to willow )
willow tried their best to maintain a balance of both extracurriculars that appeased their mother , and free time spent with their father at the skate park , helping him out with general upkeep and sharpening their skills whenever possible .
during one of daily trips to the ramps , she happened to notice someone she’d never seen before , call it love at first sight , or just teenage hormones , but suddenly willow had a new goal in mind .
it didn’t take long before they also caught his attention , if for no other reason than that they were measurably a hundred times better than he was on the ramps , and soon enough a relationship formed .
for once willow didn’t care much about their mother’s pedantic tendencies or their father’s disapproval of the boy that she’d chose , they were in love , and no one could tell them otherwise .
ABUSE TW this was until their boyfriend proved to be more controlling than thier mother . she could hardly go to the ramps , all her free time was spent with him rather than her father , and if they ever dared challenge him things go physical .
they were all apperances in public , and to their parents , holding hands in the hallways and him slipping them handwritten love letters , but things only continued to escalate as their relationship continue further .
ASSAULT & ABUSE TW the final straw was when he threatened them with a knife to their throat due to them choosing to spend time with their father instead of sit in on his band practice without alerting him . it was then they realized they never wanted to fear someone like that again .
finally gathering the courage to share with their father what was happening behind the scenes , they successfully managed to break things off , and although they had escaped their situation , that relationship had lasting impacts on how they viewed love .
they clung to security after this , constantly attached to the hip of their father , worried about what the return of their ex lover might look like . thankfully this fear never came to fruition , though it still hauntingly lingers to this day .
they successfully graduated high school , and with heavy influence from their mother enrolled in sunhollow for a degree in journalism . and the minute they stepped foot on the sunhollow campus and swore not to fall in love , that’s exactly what they did .
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐡.
he was nothing like her last boyfriend all sweet words and gentle hands that knew exactly the spots to kiss to make her feel whole again .
the whiplash that came from going to a super toxic relationship to one where he was extremely loving and gentle was something that willow had to slowly become accustomed to .
she spent her days with him in the library , hushed giggles and hand holding , and her nights commuting back to the rocks to help out her family with her job that she got at victoria’s .
though journalism wasn’t exactly her main passion , there were plenty of opportunities to get involved with things that were . enter the band her and her boyfriend
they were nothing to write home about , they were good in a local dive bars , but they definitely weren’t going to be selling out stadiums any time soon , and honestly they preferred it that way .
this was her college experience , playing shows at victoria’s , splitting time between her boyfriend and her family , and working her way towards completing her bachelor’s degree .
she even saved up enough money with her boyfriend to afford a moderately sized condo in the rocks close to her childhood home . this condo would also become the place where he ended up proposing the idea of getting eloped . he was convinced they didn’t need a ceremony only each other .
the day she walked the stage with her husband was one of the proudest moments of her life , but soon enough it would devolve into the worst .
FIRE TW clamors of a house fire in the rocks , prompting an early departure from both willow and her husband who drove home to see willow’s childhood home in flames .
DEATH TW by the time that help had arrived , it was too late , both her parents had been consumed by the flames , childhood memories had been destroyed , and willow yet again felt broken .
the only family that remained was her , her sister , and her husband . and willow took every opportunity to step up to the plate and provide her sister whatever she could within her means .
willow decided to put her journalism degree to work to honor her parents and wrote for the local newspaper , bringing light to social issues at the rocks , and local news going on within the community from any side of town . but she also had the job of maintaining the skate park her father left for her , and part - time shifts at victoria’s , a job that gave her some semblance of normalcy .
four years seemed to pass willow by without seemingly anything interesting happening , life seemed to finally calm down .
PREGNANCY TW but soon enough after weeks of getting sick after rehearsal ( her college bad reuniting to play victoria’s on sunday nights ) , and waking up nauseated , willow realized she might have idea of what was going on . three pregnancy tests later she was staring down at a pink plus sign with tears in her eyes .
they were more than happy to finally settle down and seriously consider having a family , something that willow had always craved .
and the minute that life got better again it go exponentially worse .
PREGNANCY TW about a month before her twenty - fifth birthday , willow gave birth to twin girls which she named iris and imani , and the second time she ever held them in her arms she received life altering news .
ASSAULT & DEATH TW while on his way to the hospital , her husband was mugged , an assault which ultimately lead to his death .
once again willow was left to pick up the pieces of losing someone important to her , and as it stood she had four people who needed her , the most important two being the infants bundled in her arms in that moment .
𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧.
that was four years ago now and iris and imani have been their main priority ever since .
DEATH MENTION since the passing of her husband , she realized that couldn’t keep living her life for other people , and so she quit her job at the paper , picked up more shifts at victoria’s ( even worked her way up to being a manager ) , and took over her dad’s place at the skate park .
similar to her dad , anyone who steps foot on the ramps is by proxy her child , and that’s no joke , she will never forget a face and she will get to know everything about you , she believes in taking care of the people who keep her dad’s legacy alive .
the best way that i can describe her personality is abrasive , extremely rough around the edges , and she is not one to let people in easily anymore . unless of course she considers you family , then she is by your side until the end of time .
