trauma !! --- aaliyah - was ripped away from her siblings and one of her closest adult mentors, lindsay, at a pretty young age and was forced to go to a boarding school in a pretty underprivileged and dangerous town, a direct contrast from her sheltered life before. her mother always guilt tripped her and used aaliyah's adhd against her. she also had a few toxic exes from her boarding school, one of which tried to stab her. -- rudy - it stems from her ex. she had a friend named mia that she knew since childhood who eventually grew up to become a manipulative and really awful person. rudy was together with her for a little bit but then mia cheated on her and dumped her. then after a while rudy started dating this girl named serenity, absolute sweetheart. serenity had to break things off cause mia threatened her, but she told rudy why she was breaking things off before doing so. then serenity disappeared and nobody knows why but rudy thinks mia did something to her and she just totally blames herself for it -- vector - when vector was really little, and his parents adopted albion, he was jealous of the attention he was getting, so he constantly beat up and abuse albi, til one day albi accidentally knocked down a mirror and vector pushed him out the way, leaving a scar on his cheek and a few other places due to the broken glass. never again did he mistreat his bro and he vowed to protect him. -- bonnie - used to be a quiet good girl til a bunch of kids at sheir British boarding school started bullying shem for being shy and smart and stuff. so shey turned bad. after sheir parents divorced, sheir dad left shem, and sheir mom forcing shem to be something they are not. shey grew bitter and cold, finding it hard to let people in. (one day shey tried drowning shemself to ease the pain, thats why shey have aquaphobia. hense what happened on the beach with sandy) -- eclispe - her parents often compared her to her siblings and neglected her. When she came out it made things worse.. she mostly spent time with duncan because he was the only one she trusted. Alejandro often abused her physically and mentally, while her mom just commented her and bullied her. Her parents always favored the other siblings and sometimes acted like she didn't matter. They don't celebrate her birthday and that's the least worse they do to her. Some of this abuse gave eclispe nono ded thoughts at young ages, causing herself SH and stuff. She always wanted to make her parents proud but something little like wearing 'boys' clothing would make alejandro beat her and stuff. She spent most of hertime with duncan, always dreading going home. She never really liked her siblings bc she was always compared to them. -- wolfie - was pretty much constantly under pressure from courtney's high expectations, especially academically. however because of his adhd he had a really hard time learning in school so yk. that led to a good amount of degradation from courtney. it was technically from a place of love but she wasn't super careful about it so yk that led to self image issues and self destructive tendencies. oh and his ex gf's dad shot him one time but that's a different story -- raven - Raven always considered herself lucky to have such amazing parents, which has never changed. Even when she found out that she had DID like her father, they still loved and cared for her. But things began to change when she first started middle school. People avoided her or didn't talk to her, sometimes not even noticing that she is there. Raven never made friends in middle school and she didn't understand why until she heard people talking about her one day. Rumors had gone around about Raven being labeled as psychotic, a freak, and worse things. They were too scared to tell her mom or dad, so she acted like she had friends. In her mind, the only people who knew she existed were her parents but it still hurt her., especially since having DID made communicating much worse. Raven grew to act as if she were "normal" so others would talk to her or be friends with them. A few times she had many thoughts of 'slip-and-slide' since nobody seemed to care. -- to be revelaed? - evelyn - cordelia
