BACKGROUND tw parental death, neglect mentions
oldest of the new generation of liaos and is just as bad as the rest <33
when her mom died, fawn was barely old enough to brush her own teeth much less raise her little siblings but alas… that’s what she had to do
their father, of course, was all but useless, fawn can’t remember a time when he actually did the things dads should do
she tried to help keep things together at home and it made her angry and it made her strong in a way she shouldn’t have had to be, so naturally, she needed someone to blame — that person was june
she tried at first, she swears, but it became easier just to let her frustration and anger reflect in the way she treated her youngest sibling
she was smart and good at school, but not in the “pleasure to have in class” and way, more in the constantly trying to prove the teacher’s point is wrong sort of way that teachers don’t tend to like
she graduated high school middle of the road, she skipped class a lot and had to take care of things at home
as soon as she graduated, she moved out of her dad’s trailer and rented a house
the house is tiny and a lot of shit is broken but she still lives there, it’s home
she didn’t have money to go to college and she didn’t have the desire either, so she just kept doing what she does best: scamming
since middle school, she would run little grifts, making false returns at stores and tricking adults into giving her money because she was “a few cents short” as well as planting hairs and bugs in meals at restaurants to get a free meal
when she got older, the scams got more elaborate and she became a constant guest at the local hospital running car and bike accident insurance fraud scams— if she had had the time and money, she would have been a theater kid (derogatory), because baby is an ACTRESS
now fawn works at sisters of the moon, which just happens to be another one of her scams bc… she’s not psychic and doesn’t have any magical “gifts,” she’s just really, really good at fooling people
she was married, briefly, in her early twenties (potential wc…) but her wife left her after a few years bc… she’s kind of an asshole and also has never healthily expressed an emotion in her life
PERSONALITY & FUN FACTS
very angry, but good at hiding it most of the time, has a punching bag in her basement w pictures of her various enemies taped to it
always lying, not just at work, she loves to lie just for fun <33 and about everything <333
never talks about her mom unless it’s to guilt someone into doing something for her
doesn’t believe in “guilty” pleasures, just pleasure
scarily confident, a bit of a narcissist
has a twitter where she shit posts and live tweets tv shows she illegally streams bc she doesn’t have cable or a single streaming service
very charismatic and charming when she wants to be
definitely sleeps around a lot and always has
she has a skewed view of intimacy and sex makes her feel like maybe she’s kinda normal
has a cat named ritten (rotten kitten) that she loves more than she’s loved any person including her ex-wife
despite her known life of scamming and fraud, has only had a few brushes with the law, prides herself on this fact
maternal in a tough love way, has a soft spot for Some (not june)
again, zero emotional intelligence to be found
trying to quit smoking, it’s not going well
