▸after years of being called "raegan" by her mother - against her will - she refuses to answer to her full name. she has, and will, ignore someone that forgets that tidbit. it may seem petty but she doesn't care.
▸rae spent her high school years being meticulously groomed by her mother to be a trophy wife, albeit an intelligent one. she took ap classes, was the captain of the volleyball team, and, recreationally, a competitive gymnast. these days, she rarely participates in either but occasionally gets nostalgic and puts on some spandex. this was all because her mother didn't want her "making the same mistakes" that she did aka getting pregnant at a young age and therefore being saddled with something that she would see as an obligation forever. she was frequently forced to attend snooty country club brunches where she was felt up by whatever future frat boy her mother was trying to pair her up with that week while she made futile attempts to escape.
▸left home at eighteen in a fairly dramatic fashion and stayed with a friend until she moved to portland for college. she has never regretted her decision to leave home so quickly - or in such a way - as it fueled her to be succeed.
▸is completely unashamed to show her inner nerd. she loves to watch history shows, frequents comic book shops, and aspires to cosplay at SDCC. she also dreams of taking a roadtrip to visit civil war battlefields one day.
▸after witnessing the dysfunctional relationship between her parents and the level of hell also known as her mother and stepfather's marriage, rae is extremely gun-shy about relationships. she quickly developed a "love 'em and leave 'em" philosophy after high school but is working on trying to correct her outlook.
▸rae is a trilinguist, speaking fluent english, spanish, and french. she rarely uses the french these days but has used it to insult people that annoy her without them noticing.
▸has an extremely strained relationship with her mother and rarely speaks to her. when the two do speak, nothing good comes of it. typically, rae will either exit the conversation angry or in a pit of self-loathing and remain that way for a few hours, minimum. at this point, she has given up on their relationship ever being somewhat civil and has mostly renounced that side of her family. for the past few years, she has considered her father's longtime girlfriend, lena, to be the only mother figure that she needs.
▸growing up with no biological siblings of her own, she does tend to gravitate towards being spoiled, at least when it comes to her father. that's not to say that she hasn't worked hard for what she has, she just enjoys attention and can come off as a little needy towards her friends.
▸wants a whole slew of tattoos but has always been too afraid of needles to go through with her plans. she currently only has one extremely small tattoo (x) that only exists because she was drunk when her butt hit the chair. update: took the plunge on her 27th birthday and got inked with arwen's evenstar pendant from lotr.
▸drives a 2014 chevy impala that she considers to be her baby. it was the first car that she bought that wasn't used and she does have a set of car rules to make sure that no one fucks it up.
