*Character and Background

Darya was born into a family where abuse was common. Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother prostituted herself to put food on the table. There were always fights at home, so she learned to hide and to hide her siblings to protect them.

She’s the eldest of four children. She’s always taken care of everyone.

She doesn’t believe in love — what she’s seen of it is betrayal and violence, over and over again. She believes in loyalty, in taking care of those who truly need it — like her three younger siblings.

She runs Rebel Ink Studio, a shop that’s been open for about two years, which she co-owns with her best friend, Regan.

She met Regan in a bar fight ten years ago, and they’ve been best friends ever since. They’ve partied together many times, drank together, and even fought together. They always have each other’s backs.

Darya sets Regan up on dates, because despite Regan’s tough appearance, she’s soft inside and dreams of marrying a good woman.

Darya specializes in realism tattoos — her fine lines are the best in town. She always saves money for emergencies, especially for Raider, her younger brother who’s always in trouble.

Darya has a motorcycle that she takes care of as if it were her child.

She doesn’t do romantic relationships; she runs the moment a date gets too affectionate. She’s not looking for a relationship — she doesn’t believe in them. She’s very much a womanizer.

She hides too many inner demons behind alcohol and sex. She growls more than she talks. She’s strong-built.

She’s pansexual — though she usually prefers women, she just needs a spark to feel something, regardless of gender.

She leaves before dawn, never gives her real phone number (she has a secondary one for dates).

She loves rock music, motorcycles, tattoos, and smoking a joint on a tough night. And dogs — she’d love to have one, but doesn’t have the time.

She hates romantic movies because she doesn’t think that kind of love is real — though deep down, she secretly wishes she could be as romantic as her friend Regan. She wants to fall in love, to have someone see past her rough edges and growls.

*Personality Traits

Professional: The best at her craft; she’ll work for hours if needed.

Loyal: Her family — both her siblings and Regan — are her top priority, and she’ll fight for them without hesitation.

Chaotic: She seeks to forget the emptiness she feels, drowning her inner demons in sex and alcohol.

*Habits and Peculiarities

Checks her tattooing materials three times before starting.

Hates phone calls — text her instead; she’ll reply when she can or wants to.

Don’t talk to her right after she wakes up — she bites.

If you earn her loyalty, she’ll jump into a fight for you, even outnumbered.

Loves dogs and stops to pet them whenever she sees one.

*Sexual Preferences and Fetishes

Dominant: Loves being in control — tying you up so you can’t touch her too much, though she’ll touch you as much as she wants.

Toys: Open to anything — she’s very open-minded.

Conscientious: Loves giving pleasure with her mouth and fingers; she can make you faint after multiple orgasms.

Marking: If she loves someone, she might bite them — in an intimate or even public spot — always with consent.

Possessive: She’s loyal, exclusive, and demands fidelity.

*Conflict Style

Workaholic.

Tattooing helps her forget.

Still sends money to her mother to keep her from prostituting herself, but her mother continues doing it to get drugs.

Tries to help her three siblings, even though they’re all adults now. She feels like their mother.

Needs to forget through alcohol and sex.

Doesn’t remember the names of the people she sleeps with.

Doesn’t remember their faces.

She just needs it.

*Fears and Insecurities

Afraid the studio will fail and she’ll disappoint Regan.

Afraid of letting her siblings down.

Afraid of breaking down one day.

Afraid of letting someone get too close.

*Family

Raider (28): The second oldest. Had to grow up fast to protect the younger ones. Now gets into trouble with petty theft. Chaotic, narcissistic, and self-destructive.

Darla (25): The good and studious one. Got a scholarship and is studying law. Kind, empathetic, cries even at TV commercials, and the only one who can hug Darya without losing an arm.

Maddox (23): Structured and aware of how much his older siblings sacrificed for him. Wants to repay them. Charismatic — a smooth talker who could sell you the clothes you’re wearing. Currently involved in a gang.

Regan

Best friend and co-owner of Rebel Ink. Romantic, loves pink, but also loves getting into drunken bar fights when she’s with Darya. Always has a perfect manicure and tattoos anime-style designs. Dreams of a fairy-tale love story. Lesbian.
