[indent]A spunky, energetic woman with a deep love for art, entertainment, animals, and people.[/indent]
[sub][h3][color=2E8B57]brief history[/color][/h3][/sub]
[indent]Tish was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. She grew up in the same school district where she met her life-long best friend, Tate. The pair became fast friends and even wound up having a middle-school crush on the same girl. Tate didn’t know that at the time, though. Tish was closeted until she was fourteen and Tate was one of the first people that she came out to. This was also the age when she decided to stop giving a shit about what people thought about her: she started wearing whatever she wanted, picked up some bad habits, dyed her hair black, and openly dated girls. 

Patricia’s father, Frank Webber, was and is a hot-blooded American and her mother, Regina, was an immigrant from Brighton. Her grandparents still live in the UK, Tish has only met them a few times, back when she was very young. Frank is a business professor at Boston University, and he raised Tish as a loving single father when breast cancer took his wife. Tish has some distant family in other states, and countries, but she is only really close to her dad. 

Tish was eight years old when her mom died, which she took hard at the time, but this was just a passing cloud over the vibrant sun that has been burning within Tish since birth. Her father was her rock back then and still is, so Tish can continue to let her light shine. Frank supported her decision to go to art school, even when he wasn’t confident that one could make a living off of a hobby. Once she has graduated and really showed her ambition to excel, Frank helped her start her own business. Tish is happily upper middle class, it’s the only thing she’s ever known. She lives in a small downtown apartment a few blocks away from her shop, Black Sunrise.

Black Sunrise is a cozy little tattoo shop owned and operated by Tish, with three artists, herself included. Tish opened Black Sunrise three years ago, shortly after finishing her year long, post-graduation internship at a larger shop on the other side of the city. Black Sunrise is more than Tish’s workplace, it is her church, and her sanctuary. She spends her days creating both art and meaningful connections with the residents of Boston, and her nights enjoying the nightlife that the city has to offer. This nightlife includes the strip club that her bestie owns, and that’s not [i]just[/i] because Tate owns it, either. A girl has needs to be met while she awaits meeting whatever soulmate exists for her out there.

[sup][i]I make it a point to get to know the people I put ink into. They will wear my work for life, and I'd like to make sure it means something to them. Kate's piece was a memorial, one close to her heart. She's a sweet doll of a person from what I can tell[/i].[/sup]

[sup][i]I should have known by the orange string that connected us that things wouldn't go well for us when she stepped in my shop. When I asked her what kind of tattoo she was interested in, she supplied a basic clip-art style dolphin for her lower back. I explained that I don't copy art, and that I like to make sure a piece has meaning to a person before I permanently put it in their body - I would never want to be the source of someone's regret - but she didn't like this response. She left the shop in a huff and claimed that she'd be taking her business elsewhere, that's... unfortunate for her, I think[/i].[/sup]

[indent]A recent college graduate who hopes to exotically dance her way to the west coast to become a famous A-lister actress.[/indent]
[sub][h3][color=72353D]brief history[/color][/h3][/sub]
[indent]The Soda family moved to United States from Fuchu, Japan when Zoey was still growing inside of her mother. Haruo Soda, Zoey’s father, worked as a polymer chemist for the plastics division of Bayer — now Covestro — and was relocated to a plant in central Massachusetts. The Soda’s were more than happy to move to America and raise their first and only daughter in this country, so that she might live out her own version of The American Dream.

Zoey might have been raised in America, but she was raised Japanese. She learned her native language as well as English before entering kindergarten, and she grew up with a fondness and appreciation for Japanese culture, cuisine, and beliefs. Zoey excelled in school, as was expected by her parents, and when they allowed her to pick one extracurricular activity, she chose dance. Zoey never felt more alive than when she was on stage, with all eyes on her.

The young girl’s passion for dance started with ballet, but as she grew older, Zoey branched out into other styles. Styles that her parents didn’t always approve of, styles unbefitting for a ballet recital. As a teenager, Zoey’s body blossomed into that of a young woman, and Zoey embraced this. She rather enjoyed being watched and adored, and she decided that she wanted to make a career of it, as an actress. Hollywood needed more asian representation, especially females, so that little girls like she once was could see themselves represented in television and movies.

Zoey moved to the coast to attend college at Boston University, where she studied for a BFA in acting and a minor in dance. While attending university, Zoey met the first string in her life — a lovely fellow japanese-american student named Emily that was a couple years her senior, but nonetheless connected to her by a sage green thread. The girls bonded instantly over their shared love of bubble tea and sushi. Throughout their college years, they helped each other — Zoey teaching Emily to branch out, try new things, and grow in her social life, and Emily teaching Zoey to be more grounded, and to further get in touch with her roots.

Following her college graduation, Zoey chose to move in with her best friend, rather than move back home with her parents in central Massachusetts. Zoey immediately began job hunting, with the goal to save up enough money to eventually move to Hollywood. On this job search, Zoey met her second green string in the form of her now-employer, Tate Paxton. Tate has a certain eye for [i]talent[/i], and Zoey is nothing if not talented on the stage. Of course, this new stage involved far less clothing, and dancing that her parents [i]definitely[/i] wouldn’t approve of. But they didn’t need to know about Cherry Cola, Zoey’s stage persona. Cherry Cola — a purposeful pun on her own last name — was Zoey’s own dirty little secret, and a top earning name at IMPULSE. When Zoey isn’t raking in the big bucks at the adult nightclub, she spends her days working her second job as a waitress at Oishi Sushi, alongside her bestie that is studying as an apprentice there.

Zoey is well aware of the red string tied to her pinky finger, but she pays it very little mind. The green strings matter far more to her than any red string ever could. Love is messy, and could stand in the way of her dreams to see her name in lights one day. Lights that aren’t at a strip club, that is.[/indent]

[sup][i]Best friend, roomie, and platonic soulmate! It’s a bit of a secret, but I hope to convince her to move out to the west coast with me, because I don’t think I could ever leave her behind[/i].[/sup]

[sup][i]The best boss a girl could ask for. He gave me a chance, and now I’m making more than most recent college grads in Boston. The best part is how safe he keeps us girls, I know Tate will always have my back if a guy tries to get too handsy[/i].[/sup]

[sup][i]He's been my dance instructor for years. We get along well, but I think he might be a bit judgy that I chose the stripper route. I think he just needs to give it a try for himself, don't you?[/i][/sup]

[sup][i]We've got similar dreams, we both want to make it to the silver screen some day. It's a dog eat dog word to get there, we've just gotta figure out who's got the strongest bite[/i].[/sup]
