At the age of 18, Ashley Kendall left home to attend college abroad, leaving behind her parents and a younger sister named Dana. Dana took her departure harder than expected, feeling a sense of betrayal as Ashley left her behind. She was angry at first, then bitter, but after the first couple of years, that bitterness faded away. As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder. That was probably be best way to explain what happened with Dana. As she grew older, she started to romanticize her time with her older sister, putting her on a pedestal in her mind, and eventually even fantasizing about her -- often in ways she knew she shouldn't. Then, all of a sudden... Ashley was back! College was done, and she was back home, and Dana... wasn't sure how to feel about it. Sure, she was happy that Ashley was back, but Dana was all grown up now, and Ashley had [i]clearly[/i] noticed. Dana could catch her giving her looks out of the corner of her eye, looks that Dana recognized. Guys at school gave her the same looks. The fact that her sister was looking at her the same way was shocking at first, but... maybe not entirely unpleasant. Maybe it was something Dana was even willing to encourage. [hider=Ashley Kendall] [hider=Picture][img]https://i.imgur.com/D1RJOLP.png[/img][/hider] [b]Name:[/b] Ashley Dianne Kendall [b]Age:[/b] 22 [b]Occupation:[/b] Unemployed (Bachelor's in Computer Science) [b]Personality:[/b] Ashley Kendall is the kind of person who listens more than she speaks, her reserved demeanor revealing a thoughtful and observant nature. While she might sometimes find herself swayed by the opinions of those around her, her solid grasp of right and wrong always guides her back to her true path. Ashley's not one to chase the spotlight, but her genuine kindness and well-intentioned heart make her a trustworthy and loyal friend. Her college years were marked by studious dedication, where she was more likely to be found with her nose in a book than at a party. Still, she's never lost her athletic spirit from when she played Volleyball in high school, and she's more than happy to go out and do something active when responsibilities aren't getting in the way. [b]Background:[/b] Born and raised in a small town that prides itself on community and tradition, Ashley Kendall grew up surrounded by a community that often didn't appreciate things that were different. Unfortunately for Ashley, she'd been [i]born[/i] different -- or at least, she certainly thought she had been. Her feelings of being an outsider among her peers led to her being more reserved as she grew up, especially as she went through her teenage years. During her high school years, Ashley threw herself into studying. She didn't make a lot of friends at first, but after her first year she joined the volleyball team, and finally hit her stride. Ashley's athletic prowess made her a key player on her high school team, and she found joy and camaraderie on the court. Off the court, she was still known for her reserved and thoughtful nature, a girl more likely to be found diligently doing her homework in her quiet bedroom than going out to hang out with her volleyball friends -- but at least she [i]did[/i] have friends to hang out with sometimes. Upon graduation, Ashley made a surprising decision: she was going to attend college abroad. Somewhere in another country. Leaving her family and everything she knew behind, she embarked on a journey in a foreign land. This choice was not without its challenges, including an illness during her third year that forced her to retake some courses, but it was an experience that shaped her in ways she could never have anticipated. Her college years were filled with new sights, sounds, and experiences. Ashley immersed herself in a different culture, learning to navigate new customs, foods, and languages. Though she made a few casual friends, her primary focus remained on her studies. The absence of wild parties or reckless behavior in her college life made it a little difficult to make any lasting relationships while she was away, which made it very easy to return home after she was done. Returning home after four years, Ashley brings with her a newfound maturity and a broader perspective on the world. The time abroad has left its mark on her, giving her an elegance and a worldly wisdom that wasn't there before. Yet, at her core, she's still the same Ashley; just slightly better rounded and more willing to put herself out there and take what she wants. [b]Futanari?:[/b] Ashley's physical sex does not conform to the commonly accepted binary. She's not trans, and she's not intersex -- at least not in the way one usually thinks about it. Ashley was born with a fully functioning set of male genitals, but ended up growing up and maturing in ways standard for most women. The whole ordeal has left her a little shy about sex in general. Nudity is a major taboo for her, and she struggles to make any sort of romantic relationships. So what word really encompasses her situation? I don't know. Futanari seemed like a relatively innocuous term though, so that's what I decided to go with. [/hider] [hr] And that's what I've got! I'm happy to answer any questions or make alterations to the plot or maybe to Ashley herself if you want to talk about it. I'm mostly looking for slice-of-life romance with taboo themes. We could work a more concrete plot into things somewhere as well, or maybe several plotlines, I'm happy to brainstorm with anyone who's interested. That said, a few things I wanted to bring up early: I only RP through PMs, or through Discord/Google Docs. I like to keep my RP private under most circumstances, especially when the subject matter is a little iffy or includes smut like this RP would. Basic grammar like capitalization and punctuation is important, but I wont get on your case for a few typos. Post length isn't a huge issue. I'm not going to count sentences or individual lines of text -- I just ask that you put forward the effort, and give me a decent amount to work with. One liners aren't going to do anything for me, but I don't expect a novel either. Finally: Don't be afraid to push the story forward. I have a bad habit of wanting to write every little detail and then give my partner a chance to respond to any actions. That isn't always necessary, and if you feel like a scene is dragging on, feel free to mention it or push the narrative forward~ We're here to write together, don't let me hold up the story by getting fixated on the minutiae.
