She’s got the wish for big city life from her father- a man who loves music, drinking, partying, and the high of night life. Her mom was a witch. In practice anyway. Selma was a woman who believed that everybody got where they needed to be. She filled Virginia’s tour bus bound life a child with pockets of quiet. Virginia’s an overconfident person. She’s impulsive. She’s reckless. But she’s also got a deeply wounded but huge heart. Trust is something she gives too easily, and she gets her shit rocked every time it’s broken. She seems to have object permanence issues- with things, and people. It’s probably a coping mechanism. Ultimately she wants a big city life, but she wants a slice of calm at the top of the world. A place she can hang dried oranges across doorways and listen to Fleetwood Mac. She never used to be an angry person- and then her uncle kicked her out. Now she’s quick to irritation, and eventually anger. Virginia’s also absolutely the person to put herself on the line to protect something she loves. She’s done it before, she will do it again. Secretly, she’s looking for the cause to hang her hat on- something to write about- something that means something.

Grew up in a tour bus with numetal artists and her mom. Car accident trauma. Problems with her uncle and living arrangements. Wants to be a famous singer one day. [/hider] [indent] Virginia Selma Davis was born to Selma and William “Earl” Davis- they were in their mid-twenties when they accidentally got pregnant with her. Earl was in a NuMetal/Alt adjacent band- they never really made it big, but they had one local hit that led them to tour the country pretty much until he died. He was from Pines Holler, and he [i]loved[/i] it there. Virginia was born on a tour bus- as neither of them had insurance as traveling musicians. So they took their chances on the bus. Luckily- she was perfectly healthy. Til the day she died, her mom claimed she felt Saint Brigid with her that night. Selma was a witch of the christian variety- believed all the sorts of thing a pagan today might, but worshiped a Christian. It’s probably why people left her alone- she was in church every Sunday no matter where they were. That’s why Viriginia became so comfortable with strangers, arguably too comfortable with people. During their fourth tour, the band started to fade into obscurity- so they had to add songs to the set list that were more cover types. That’s what kept people coming to shows. They got a bump in popularity for playing a rendition of ‘One Step Closer’ by Linkin Park. Her dad brought her out on stage almost every night during that tour to scream the ‘shut up’ section. People loved it of course- who doesn’t love an angry elementary schooler at a metal show. Earl made sure she always wore ear protection. It was the first night she fell in love with performing- and although she had a soft spot for her mom’s softer stuff- something about screaming your lungs out on stage broke apart every terrible thing that ever happened to her and freed her from it. Like when her parents died. [hider=tw parental death, car accident description] They’d been in the car road tripping to stay with Earl’s brother Dylan. The band was done, they could feel it in the air. Max, the guitarist, had decided that they weren’t going to be able to support themselves on the project anymore. So as the youngest, he bowed out and went to school to become an accountant. Earl picked up the guitar for a while and they did a tour like that. But it took a toll on his body to have to sing, play, and be a frontman at the same time. It was around this time that Tiffany, the bassist, passed the event horizon with her addiction. Hal, her husband and the drummer, took that as their exit stage left. Tiffany and Hal are still together, Hal works at a gas station a few towns over. Sometimes Virginia runs into Tiffany at shows- but she refuses to interact. Lately Tiffany’s been getting worse. Hal sometimes visits Virginia, but Tiffany stopped coming a long time ago. When the band closed up, Earl decided they were headed home to Pines Holler. He planned to scrape some cash together for a solo album or to spend some time networking in L.A. Which meant leaving his girls behind. As Virginia was almost 10, her mom wanted her to have a bit more steady of a school life. Virginia hated that plan. She wanted to follow her dad to L.A. and to become a star too. They were fighting when it happened. Selma calmly explained to her why it was important that she had steady time in one place for school. Earl didn’t help with this- he nearly sounded like a copy of the little girl in the backseat. Reasons why keeping them together was more important. Instances that gave Virginia more life experience than a school of elementary schoolers could ever give her. Earl was driving. He didn’t even mess up that badly, as his voice rose, he was a little less careful with the wheel. It was 3a, he drifted into the lane of a sixteen wheel cross-country hauler. Not expecting such a small car to be so reckless on the road at that time, the driver wasn’t paying attention. The car slipped right under the wheels. Virginia doesn’t go to church every Sunday- but she knows some kind of god was with her in the car that night. The top of the car was sawed clean off. Being half her parents height, she was knocked beneath curled and fragmented steel. She doesn’t remember being pulled out of the car- but she does remember the smell of fuel, fire, and copper. Sometimes she wakes up in fragmented versions of the accident, and she doesn’t drive because of it. [/hider] TLDR: car accident during argument about staying in pines for school while Earl heads to LA. Semi x car accident kills her parents. She woke up to just one real relative left. Selma never really mentioned her family to Dylan or anyone, really. So Dylan Davis, her father’s brother, was the person sitting beside her hospital bed when she woke up. Dylan was the younger, more practical brother. He hated who his brother had become. They’d been thick as thieves, irish twins, until he’d run off to join a band in the next town over. He resented his brother for leaving him behind to manage their mother’s mental illness. Virginia was six when her father got the call about her grandma dying. She never knew what happened to her grandfather- she got the impression nothing good. Dylan would never cry in front of her, but in his room alone at night, she could hear the muffled drawing sobs of a man in agony. Virginia was outspoken in school, she barely made it through senior year. She never applied for school because she already knew what she wanted. She wanted to play in a band. Over the course of her teen years, Virginia had been in at least seven bands that played a show. The last two were very serious. That’s where she met Lee, her and Rowan’s roadie. At first, Lee tried to corral her into a job, a place to stay, something. But eventually, he gave up. On really cold nights, he’ll check her normal crash spot outdoors to make sure she doesn’t freeze to death under an overpass. The rule is that she doesn’t talk to Sandy. Which is a very doable deal for her. Rowan’s one of the only people that she ever felt took music as seriously as her, so she was sure he was the right person to start her next project with. So far, she’s been right. When she turned 21, Dylan Davis served her with eviction papers. After a few attempts to get her to pay him rent, or for food he decided that she needed to take a hike. Virginia was so angry with him, they did not speak for three years. Now- they’ve got an arrangement where she can stay in her old room for $100 a week, and eat his food for $75 extra. If she pays $400 upfront she can stay and eat for a whole month. Virginia hardly makes either happen. But lately she’s gotten into the habit of saving money for the colder months. Just in case.
