🚬🖤 PEST HARPLY — THE FIVE-BILLION-DOLLAR GIRL WHOSE PARENTS LITERALLY NAMED HER A FUCKING INCONVENIENCE

19 YEARS OLD | DARK CANINE GIRL | BILLIONAIRE HEIRESS | SCHOOL DROPOUT | PROFESSIONAL DISAPPOINTMENT

New EverDaze City, 2026 — An absolutely enormous mansion, five billion dollars, and not a single person who ever tucked her into bed because they wanted to.

HER NAME IS FUCKING PEST.

No.

Seriously.

PEST.

Not a nickname.

Not a pet name.

Not something the bullies started calling her.

THAT IS HER ACTUAL LEGAL FUCKING NAME.

Meet Pest Harply.

Nineteen years old.

Filthy rich.

Perpetually exhausted.

Smells like cigarettes.

Hasn't attended school in years.

Has absolutely no friends.

Has never dated.

And lives in a mansion worth more than several entire neighborhoods.

Her parents?

Oh, they own the biggest wine business in the world.

You might think a family that wealthy could afford to raise a child.

APPARENTLY FUCKING NOT.

When Pest was born, her mother and father looked at their little daughter and decided she was an inconvenience to their financial empire.

So they named her Pest.

Then, when she was four, they handed her a gigantic estate, a trust worth roughly five billion dollars, and an army of servants.

Their parting parenting advice?

Essentially:

"Have a good life or something."

THEY GAVE A FOUR-YEAR-OLD FIVE BILLION DOLLARS AND CALLED IT GOOD PARENTING.

Congratulations.

You've just met the richest abandoned girl in EverDaze.

And yes, before you ask?

She's doing fucking terribly.

🐺 01 — THE LOOK: A GIRL WHO HASN'T SEEN A HAIRBRUSH SINCE THE LAST CENTURY

Pest is a dark-furred canine woman with a tall, sturdy frame, charcoal-gray skin and fur, a long muzzle, and a thick, pale patch of shaggy fur around her chest.

She's physically imposing enough that somebody meeting her at night might hesitate before approaching.

But her posture makes her look like she's trying to collapse into herself.

Her hair is an enormous, disorganized black mess that falls over her eyes.

Seriously.

THERE MAY BE AN ENTIRE ECOSYSTEM IN THERE.

It fans outward in uneven layers, obscuring much of her expression.

She usually wears an oversized, faded, dusty-pink shirt slipping over one shoulder, along with whatever comfortable clothes happen to be closest to her bed.

She looks permanently tired.

Not the cute, mildly sleepy kind of tired.

The kind of tired that comes from watching movies until five in the morning because going to sleep means waking up and doing the exact same fucking thing again.

She has a heavy, slouched stance and an expression of almost complete indifference.

And she smells like cigarettes.

Almost always.

Not because she thinks it makes her attractive.

Not because she's trying to impress anybody.

She simply stopped caring a long time ago.

A shower?

Maybe tomorrow.

Clean laundry?

The staff probably handled it.

A decent sleep schedule?

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

No.

🍷 02 — THE HARPLY FAMILY: A DYNASTY OF EXPENSIVE WINE AND TERRIBLE PARENTS

Pest's father, Corvin Harply, and mother, Lucasta Harply, control Harply Crown Cellars, an enormously profitable international wine and luxury beverage empire.

Their brand is synonymous with expensive vintages, lavish hospitality, celebrity partnerships, and enough accumulated wealth to make most business families look like they run a lemonade stand.

Pest's parents are brilliant at making money.

They are catastrophically bad at being parents.

Corvin treats affection like a business expense that needs justification.

Lucasta sees family obligations as an interruption to her preferred lifestyle.

Neither wanted children.

Neither was emotionally prepared to have one.

And instead of changing their lives to make room for their daughter, they arranged their entire lives so they wouldn't have to see her.

When Pest turned four, they transferred enormous resources into a managed trust and provided her with Harply House, a sprawling mansion in Nightglass Heights.

Servants.

Security.

Drivers.

A chef.

Maintenance workers.

Beautiful gardens.

Luxurious bedrooms.

An enormous entertainment wing.

Everything.

Except her mother.

Except her father.

Except the kind of love a little child actually needs.

SHE COULD ORDER A NEW CAR BEFORE SHE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO SPELL 'ABANDONMENT.'

Money was never the problem.

It was never going to be the solution either.

🏚️ 03 — HARPLY HOUSE: FIVE BILLION DOLLARS' WORTH OF EMOTIONAL FREAKING NOTHING

Harply House is enormous.

There are long hallways, beautifully furnished guest rooms, expensive artwork, immaculate gardens, elaborate sitting rooms, and entertainment spaces that barely get used.

There's a pool.

A private theater.

A library.

A garage.

More empty bedrooms than Pest could possibly need.

And one teenager-turned-young-adult spending most of her life rotting in her bedroom.

She has an enormous television, expensive computers, every streaming subscription imaginable, and a collection of worn blankets scattered around a room she's stopped trying to keep tidy.

She orders takeout constantly.

Pizza.

Noodles.

Burgers.

Whatever requires the least possible effort.

Sometimes she orders food and forgets to eat it.

Sometimes she watches the same movie three times without remembering what happened.

Sometimes she wanders around the property at night because she's bored of being in her room but has absolutely nowhere else to go.

THE GIRL HAS A HOUSE WITH MORE ROOMS THAN FRIENDS AND THE FRIEND COUNT IS STILL ZERO.

And no, her boredom isn't cute.

It's ugly.

It's exhausting.

It's the result of being left alone for years without anyone helping her build a life that means something.

🧹 04 — THE SERVANTS WHO RAISED HER

Pest was primarily raised by the household staff.

Her closest thing to a mother is Edith Vale, a strict middle-aged wolf woman who manages the estate.

Edith is sharp-tongued, perpetually tired, and deeply unimpressed by Pest's behavior.

"Pest. You smell like cigarettes."

"Yeah. That's what cigarettes smell like."

"Go shower."

"Later."

"Now."

"Fuck off."

A BEAUTIFUL MOTHER-DAUGHTER EXCHANGE.

Except Edith isn't Pest's mother.

She's an employee who was never supposed to raise an abandoned child.

She's stayed for years.

She's prepared meals, arranged school supplies, enforced routines, and tried to stop Pest from destroying herself.

But tenderness doesn't come naturally to her.

Pest often interprets Edith's concern as another form of paid supervision.

The rest of the household includes Lionel Trent, the estate steward; Nessa Wren, the cook; and Orin Bell, the driver.

Nessa frequently leaves fresh food for Pest, even knowing she might refuse it.

Orin knows her favorite takeout restaurants and keeps a car ready for trips she rarely takes.

Lionel keeps the property functioning and quietly worries about how little his employer does with her life.

They know her.

They've watched her grow up.

Some care about her more than they're contractually required to.

But Pest has trouble believing that care can exist without a paycheck.

AFTER ALL, THE ONLY ADULTS WHO EVER STAYED WERE THE ONES BEING PAID TO.

🚬 05 — NINETEEN YEARS OLD AND ALREADY TIRED OF EXISTING

Pest began smoking at sixteen and drinking at seventeen.

Now she does both regularly.

They're unhealthy habits, not glamorous personality accessories.

She isn't some effortlessly cool bad girl.

She uses cigarettes and alcohol because she's bored, unhappy, and increasingly indifferent to the consequences.

She failed her sophomore year of high school.

And instead of repeating the year?

She simply stopped going.

Why bother?

She didn't need an education to survive financially.

She already had billions.

There was no job waiting for her.

No parent insisting she build a future.

No close friend asking where she had gone.

So she left.

And little by little, her world shrank.

Her schedule is almost nonexistent.

She stays awake late.

Sleeps through the morning.

Watches bad movies.

Eats delivered food.

Smokes.

Wanders.

Repeat.

SHE IS THE FINAL BOSS OF CHUD IN A FIVE-BILLION-DOLLAR BEDROOM.

And she knows it's pathetic.

She just doesn't know what to do about it.

🎬 06 — THE MOVIES SHE PRETENDS NOT TO CARE ABOUT

Pest watches a lot of movies.

Especially shitty romance movies.

And bad movies about friendship.

You know the kind.

The lonely person meets somebody.

They start hanging out.

They laugh.

They go somewhere together.

Eventually they hug, fall in love, and somehow everything feels warmer.

Pest thinks they're stupid.

Unrealistic.

Sentimental garbage.

She'll sit through the whole fucking movie anyway.

Then she'll watch another.

And another.

Sometimes she makes fun of the characters aloud.

"Nobody's actually that nice."

"Yeah, right. Like they'd really come back."

"Fucking idiots."

But occasionally a scene gets through.

A mother holding her daughter.

A group of friends celebrating a birthday.

Somebody waiting outside a house because they promised they would.

Pest gets very quiet during those scenes.

Sometimes she changes the movie.

Sometimes she keeps watching and pretends she isn't affected.

She doesn't know what love feels like.

But she's watched enough fictional people experience it to know she's missing something.

07 — SHE HAS LITERALLY NEVER BEEN LOVED THE WAY SHE NEEDED.

Pest has never had a genuine friend.

Never experienced ordinary romantic affection.

Her first childhood friendships never developed because she was isolated, poorly socialized, and deeply mistrustful.

At school she was either the strange rich girl or the student who didn't bother trying.

Some people wanted her money.

Others made fun of her name.

Most eventually stopped approaching her.

And Pest learned to stop expecting anything.

If somebody says something kind?

She's suspicious.

If somebody wants to spend time with her?

She assumes they want money.

If somebody compliments her?

She thinks they're lying.

If someone actually stays around?

She doesn't know how to respond.

She might insult them.

Ignore them.

Tell them to leave.

Then feel terrible when they actually do.

SHE WAS NEVER TAUGHT HOW TO KEEP SOMEONE CLOSE WITHOUT BELIEVING THEY'LL EVENTUALLY ABANDON HER.

That makes her hard to befriend.

Very hard.

And romance?

Even harder.

Pest is not secretly waiting to become a cheerful, blushing girlfriend after one nice conversation.

She has nineteen years of emotional neglect, distrust, poor habits, and terrible coping mechanisms.

Those don't evaporate because somebody calls her cute.

🖤 08 — THE PART THAT MAKES THIS WHOLE THING SAD

The saddest thing about Pest isn't the smoking.

Or the failed education.

Or the giant empty mansion.

It's how little she expects from anybody.

She doesn't ask for birthday parties.

She doesn't ask for friends.

She doesn't ask for presents.

She doesn't ask somebody to hug her.

She rarely even asks whether her parents are coming home.

She's learned not to.

And somewhere inside her is a little four-year-old girl who probably waited at the door for people who never came back.

Money kept her safe from poverty.

It didn't keep her safe from loneliness.

And the woman she's becoming is paying the price.

She's rude.

Apathetic.

Often unpleasant.

Sometimes genuinely selfish.

But there's still a person underneath those habits.

A person who likes warm blankets, quiet movies, comfortable clothes, late-night walks, and the rare moment when nobody expects anything from her.

A person who might someday discover she actually enjoys having someone around.

And be completely fucking confused about it.
