The Hollow: a Pixie Hollow inspired roleplay

Hello pixies,

Is this still open to accepting new characters/players? And if yes, would you recommend I read all the IC posts, or could I play a new fairy (like new as in a babies first laugh and boom new pixie) ?

Word association Game!

Crime

What kind of RP mood are you in?

I really want to RP a character in a Historical/Nobility/Medieval/Renaissance/Fantasy setting with a group. Maybe something related to the ASOIAF. I'm personally not into table top style, or the DnD world. There was this RP from a decade ago on this sight that I loved the plot/idea of. Wish it could be brought back, but I'm not looking to GM.

► reputation

As the daughter of one of the wealthiest 1% families in the world, her reputation at school is something along the lines of chic popular socialite. Thankfully she is not the stereotypical snob, or vapidly vain rich girl that one would assume based on her status. At her core she an amiable, intuitive, wistful, daydreamer who knows how to mold herself to fit in with the crowd. Though she is considered popular, it has more to do with her families position in the world of the wealthy elite, rather then her actual self. She is an adept social chameleon.

Her father is thee Raoul Savoy; a Swiss-based French banker, billionaire businessman, and chairman of the Savoy Group. He is France's richest man, and the richest banker in the world. He runs the Savoy banking and investment empire, and is a household name to the elite of the world. Her step-mother is Shelby Dunlap; a Beverly Hills native, high society queen, and former BHHS alum class of 2000. She is on the boards of all major charities, and art organizations in the city. Suffice to say Soraya's family connections are a big deal.

► current dilemma

Outwardly her main problem is figuring out which university she wants to go to. She basically has her pick of the crop. Other "dilemmas" include choosing which designer she wants to higher to make her prom dress this year. Oh and attempting to lose her virginity before she graduates high school.

Internally she is struggling, and feels that she is trapped in a life she didn't sign up for, wearing a mask to fit into the mold of a Savoy. She has no idea what she wants to do with her life. She feels that she has no control in anything, and that scares her. She is adept at hiding her true feelings from others, so for her to open up completely and be her authentic venerable self...is difficult to say the least. She has spent so long wearing said mask, that she doesn't know how to take it off. She has all the privilege and wealth in the world, but has no aspirations or big dreams because everything can just be purchased with her black card. Graduating high school, becoming an official adult in this over hyped world is messing with her mind. Overall she feels lost, alone, and like she is drowning.

Ｑｕｅｓｔｉｏｎｎａｉｒｅ

Friends would describe me as _______.

This question is...something. I think they'd say I'm friendly, and nice. God, that sound boring. If I gave my friends a list of personality traits to pick from, they would probably circle things like: Considerate, liberal, sensitive...um I don't know...funny? Back in middle school all the girl in my dorm took that Myers–Briggs personality test thing. Apparently I'm an INFJ, though I don't totally understand what that means.

In my free time I like to _______.

I like to escape into the world of books. Poetry and music are also something dear to me. I enjoy taking photographs; its the only form of art I believe I have any talent in. I do draw but that's not something I really share with anyone. Once in a while I write short stories, they are usually based off some random maladaptive daydream I have during math class, or when I am trying to block out my moody thought process as I lay in bed a night. For sleep to come easy it typically requires medication or lots of wine. That's mainly what I do in my free time when alone, otherwise I am usually hanging out with friends. Socially I tend to go with the flow of whatever the crew deems to be the event of the day.

I would like to learn _______ in the next year.

hmmm...Maybe more about photography. I find the technical parts of it kind of boring, but I'm assuming that knowing would help me be able to photograph things to match the beauty of the world as I see it. Beside photography...I do want to learn how to be more positive...or maybe hopeful is the right word. You're not sharing my answer to this questionnaire with anyone I know right? I was assuming this was anonymous, which is why I'm being abnormally candid.

This is how I define success and failure:

Success is being content and happy with yourself and choices...umm doing your best to reach your goals and dreams. I'd like to think failure is just something you're meant to learn from, but some failures can be extremely hard to reflect and bounce back from...

I'm inspired by _______.

Things like poetry, art, and historical mythology tend to inspire me; to do what I have no idea, but they defiantly open my mind. I like sunsets, the sound of the waves on the beach, butterflies, and watching plants swaying in the breeze. Basically beautiful things that can invoke serene emotions.

These songs are the soundtrack to my life:

There are thousands of songs I love that resonate with me. But here are the top twelve from my Spotify 'On Repeat' playlist. According to my little sister my taste in music is "Pro-woe", but I have a thing for lyrics that make me feel...known.
-Honest - Song House & Kyndal Inskeep
-Dream State - Son Lux
-Lion's Den - Grace VanderWaal
-Broken - Jonah Kagen
-Ceilings - Lizzie McAlpine
-Runaway to Mars - TALK
-Happy People - Donna Missal
-What Was I Made For - Billie Eilish
-Upside - MOTHICA
-Hypnotic - Zella Day
-Daylight - David Kushner
-Constellations - The Oh Hellos

My fondest memory as a child was _______.

Its not anything exciting, but one night back before my grandma died...when I was really little, maybe four years old. I hadn't seen my mom in weeks... It was really late at night. I was meant to be sleeping. Anyway she knocked on my bedroom window, and climbed in. I was so happy to see her, and she was all smiles. We laid in my bed and she started telling me stories about her adventures in the city. Awhile later we were falling asleep, and I remember seeing my grandma in her fuzzy blue robe. She was leaning in the doorway smiling at us...anyway its more of a melancholy memory now, but I still love it.

If I could tell my younger self something, I would say:

I don't know what exactly I would say, but I would hand her a list of people she should make sure get arrested...or offed.

The things that make me smile are _______.

In general my favorite things usually make me smile. Tasty food, funny movies, the smell of lavender and gardenias. Animals are a big one. They always make me smile.

My whole life story in one sentence:

You'd have to give me like a week to come up with a sentence that sums up my life. Does anyone have a solid answer to this?

► extra information

She speaks fluent English, French, and Swiss German. Only when she inebriated does her French accent come out to shine, otherwise she speaks with a regular American accent.

She knows how to play cello, and piano.

History - TW: abuse/neglect/death/drugs

She was born in Bergerac France, and was primarily raised by her maternal grandmother until the age of five, when she suddenly died from a severe stroke. After two weeks in foster care, the social workers were finally able to contact Soraya's biological mother Vivienne Dabney, who had been in Paris pursuing a rising modeling career.

So at five years old, little Soraya began living full time with her mother in the modeling agencies sponsored flat in Paris; along with several other runway model roommates. It quickly became an issue as Vivienne didn't have the time or skills to care for her daughter. She loved her, but caring for a child was not something she was interested in. All Vivienne wanted was to be a famous model, and she would do whatever she needed to reach her dream. In order to succeed she didn't worry about dating men of questionable reputation. The sex, drugs, drinking, and parties that seemed to be happening at all hours was also a problem. It was not at all a safe place for a little kid.

Once Vivienne's agency found out that a five year old was living in their flat, they gave Vivi a week to move out or be dropped from the agency. Scrambling she packed up her and Soraya's things to move into her new nightclub hopping boyfriend's place. Jean was not a good guy, but Vivienne had no other options. She decided obtaining some child support or black mailing one of the wealthy married men she had slept with was the way to go. The side job as a cocktail waitress was not going to cut it, and Jean was a violent drunk.

After many letters, emails, threats, and later a court ordered DNA test, she was able to obtain a huge amount of money. Of course the fact that thee Raoul Savoy was her babies daddy had to be kept unwraps from the public as per the legal agreement they came to. A monthly 5 grand was wired to Vivi; meant for the care of Soraya and keeping everything hush hush. Raoul at that time was newly married to his second wife, and a random illegitimate daughter popping up in France was not something he planned to share with the family.

With the new income, Vivienne quickly moved out of Jean's place, though that was not the last she would see of him. Toxic men seemed to be something Vivi collected. She became the it girl in among Paris nightlife, and most of the Nouveau riche in the city. She partied like a rockstar, buying anything she wanted, and basically lived it up as the newest popular model. If Soraya wasn't in school, she was toted around by her mother to parties and runway shows like a little dress up doll. She was being raised among the drama and chaos of the Parisian fashion world, with no rules to speak of.

Soraya was seven when her mother started dating a photographer named Arnaud, he had a predilection for taking rather erotic and controversial photos, but was considered an artist within the photography world. Soraya became his new muse, and Vivi was all for it. She loved the idea of Soraya becoming a model too, as everyone had told her multiple times that her little girl was beautiful, and looked like a mini copy of herself. This was about the time that things began spiraling for Vivi.

Vivienne was still trying to make it even bigger. She wanted to be a world famous model, a household name, an unforgettable star. Being only popular in France was not going to cut it anymore. Unfortunately her new drug habit was not kind to her. The frequent bloody noses, dark circles under her eyes, emotional outbursts, needle marks between her toes, and being strung out during modeling jobs was costing her more and more. Fainting in the middle of a runway show was the last straw, and her agency dropped her.

Arnaud moved in after convincing Vivienne to enter rehab, and that he would take manage the house and Soraya while she did her best to get better. Being under Arnaud care while her mother was gone, was worse then the dramatic life with her mother. He decided she was old enough to fend for herself when he wasn't home. There would be days at a time she was left alone by herself. It was obvious neglect at this point, but now eight years old she did her best to manage. Arnaud photographs of Soraya also began to overstep the line of acceptability, as there was no reasonable adult around to speak up. This went on for the next four months until her mother came home from rehab.

Vivienne was clean, and looked so much better. But jumping back into real life was a slap in the face...or more like being hit by a bus. She was trying her best, taking her medications, going to weekly therapy sessions, and staying away from her friends who were still living the party life. Soraya was just happy to have her mom home; and sober mom spent a lot more time with her. Most of the summer was spent tagging along with her mom, as she attempted to get a new modeling agency to hire her. In between tryouts, headshots, and small gigs they would go for things like ice cream, take strolls around the city, and explore the library. It was so much more peaceful now then it had been over the last three years for Soraya. She loved her mom, and she really wish things would keep changing for the better.

Arnaud stuck around during this whole trying time. At first he supported Vivienne, but as time went on he became bored and fed up playing the good guy, especially after Vivi said he couldn't photograph Soraya anymore. The brake up was brutal, and unfortunately by the end of the summer things started going down hill again. Vivi spent most days emotionlessly watching television or laying in bed; she stopped going to therapy, and seemed to have given up trying to get her modeling career back.

School started up again, and Soraya worried about leaving her mom home alone. Vivi wouldn't even eat or drink anything unless she reminded her to. It took over two months for her mother to come out of her deep depression. And during that time Soraya became the caretaker at home. By the end of autumn Vivienne was back trying to get herself modeling jobs. After reaching out to some of her old friends, she finally got booked by a famous haute contour designer. She was going to be the main model of a vouge fashion spread.

New years came and went. Soraya turned nine years old in at the beginning of March. Vivienne was booking jobs left and right. She started hanging out with her old friends, though she endeavored to stay away from the drugs. The more parties she went to, the harder it became. During an after party at the hottest night club in the city, she made the choice to shoot up. She told her self just this once...Vivienne died of a drug overdoes that night. Soraya was taken into foster care the next morning. A few days later she was on a private plane to Geneva Switzerland, now in the custody of her biological father who she had never even met or spoken to in her whole life.

Raoul's current wife at the time was none to happy with the surprise daughter moving in. There was already problems within the marriage, and Soraya's arrival became the final straw. He and wife number two divorced about a six months later. Raoul made no effort to get to know his young daughter, but he spared no expense getting her the best nannies, tutors, and therapist available. After she was doing academically well with her tutors, he quickly got her enrolled at Collège du Léman Sàrl, as a boarding student. She didn't hope for to much from him, the only male figures in her life thus far had been Vivienne's half a dozen or so toxic boyfriends, and a revolving door of flings. But a kid could hope.

She was surprised to find that she had two older brothers. The idea of having loving siblings was quickly smashed when Gervais made his negative opinion on Soraya's arrival well known. The few times Bernard came home from university on the weekends he attempted to be a big brother figure. The 12 year age gap didn't make is easy, she appreciated his friendliness none the less.

She would spend the next four years at boarding school. It was the most care and structure she had ever gotten in her life, and she thrived. She made friends, and excelled academically. She learned to play cello, and piano. She participated in swimming, gymnastics, skiing, and ballet. It became her happy place. The majority of her summer brakes were spent at the school's summer program, and a few weeks at one of the families summer estates, on the beach in southern Italy.

Soraya was in the middle of 7th grade when her father announced his engagement to Shelby. She had met her for the first time that previous summer, when the family all gathered together at a resort for a two week vacation in the Bahamas. Shelby was overall a good person, who genuinely wanted to get to know Soraya. Most of the vacation was spent together, swimming, sailing, and relaxing at the spa. Anyway she never thought Shelby and her father would get married. The wedding was held about a year later. It took place in California. She met her new step-sister Lola, and they were fast friends. She liked the role of being a big sister.

It was soon decided that Soraya would be going to high school at Shelby's alma mater BHHS. Moving to California and living as a family with her father, Shelby, and Lola was bizarre. Leaving her precious boarding school really changed things, and America was something else.

When she started as a freshman at BHHS, Soraya was a innocent fish out of water, whose knowledge of Beverly Hills social norms, and public American high school was nil. She was behind on pop culture, and the who's who of the California society pages, but that quickly ceased to be an issue with the help of her step-mother, and the Savoy name. She had so much free time on her hands, she had no idea what to do with herself.

Raoul playing at family, didn't last long. Soraya was half way though freshman year when he flew back to Europe. He spent less and less time in California. Shelby didn't seem to mind. He was bank rolling her life, and was happy enough with that.

A monthly 5 grand was wired to Vivi; meant for the care of Soraya and keeping everything hush hush. Raoul at that time was newly married to his second wife, and a random illegitimate daughter popping up in France was not something he planned to share with the family.

With the new income, Vivienne quickly moved out of Jean's place, though that was not the last she would see of him. Toxic men seemed to be something Vivi collected. She became the it girl in among Paris nightlife, and most of the Nouveau riche in the city. She partied like a rockstar, buying anything she wanted, and basically lived it up as the newest popular model. If Soraya wasn't in school, she was toted around by her mother to parties and runway shows like a little dress up doll. She was being raised among the drama and chaos of the Parisian fashion world, with no rules to speak of.

Soraya was seven when her mother started dating a photographer named Arnaud, he had a predilection for taking rather erotic and controversial photos, but was considered an artist within the photography world. Soraya became his new muse, and Vivi was all for it. She loved the idea of Soraya becoming a model too, as everyone had told her multiple times that her little girl was beautiful, and looked like a mini copy of herself. This was about the time that things began spiraling for Vivi.

Vivienne was still trying to make it even bigger. She wanted to be a world famous model, a household name, an unforgettable star. Being only popular in France was not going to cut it anymore. Unfortunately her new drug habit was not kind to her. The frequent bloody noses, dark circles under her eyes, emotional outbursts, needle marks between her toes, and being strung out during modeling jobs was costing her more and more. Fainting in the middle of a runway show was the last straw, and her agency dropped her.

Arnaud moved in after convincing Vivienne to enter rehab, and that he would take manage the house and Soraya while she did her best to get better. Being under Arnaud care while her mother was gone, was worse then the dramatic life with her mother. He decided she was old enough to fend for herself when he wasn't home. There would be days at a time she was left alone by herself. It was obvious neglect at this point, but now eight years old she did her best to manage. Arnaud photographs of Soraya also began to overstep the line of acceptability, as there was no reasonable adult around to speak up. This went on for the next four months until her mother came home from rehab.

Vivienne was clean, and looked so much better. But jumping back into real life was a slap in the face...or more like being hit by a bus. She was trying her best, taking her medications, going to weekly therapy sessions, and staying away from her friends who were still living the party life. Soraya was just happy to have her mom home; and sober mom spent a lot more time with her. Most of the summer was spent tagging along with her mom, as she attempted to get a new modeling agency to hire her. In between tryouts, headshots, and small gigs they would go for things like ice cream, take strolls around the city, and explore the library. It was so much more peaceful now then it had been over the last three years for Soraya. She loved her mom, and she really wish things would keep changing for the better.

Arnaud stuck around during this whole trying time. At first he supported Vivienne, but as time went on he became bored and fed up playing the good guy, especially after Vivi said he couldn't photograph Soraya anymore. The brake up was brutal, and unfortunately by the end of the summer things started going down hill again. Vivi spent most days emotionlessly watching television or laying in bed; she stopped going to therapy, and seemed to have given up trying to get her modeling career back.

School started up again, and Soraya worried about leaving her mom home alone. Vivi wouldn't even eat or drink anything unless she reminded her to. It took over two months for her mother to come out of her deep depression. And during that time Soraya became the caretaker at home. By the end of autumn Vivienne was back trying to get herself modeling jobs. After reaching out to some of her old friends, she finally got booked by a famous haute contour designer. She was going to be the main model of a vouge fashion spread.

New years came and went. Soraya turned nine years old in at the beginning of March. Vivienne was booking jobs left and right. She started hanging out with her old friends, though she endeavored to stay away from the drugs. The more parties she went to, the harder it became. During an after party at the hottest night club in the city, she made the choice to shoot up. She told her self just this once...Vivienne died of a drug overdoes that night. Soraya was taken into foster care the next morning. A few days later she was on a private plane to Geneva Switzerland, now in the custody of her biological father who she had never even met or spoken to in her whole life.

Raoul's current wife at the time was none to happy with the surprise daughter moving in. There was already problems within the marriage, and Soraya's arrival became the final straw. He and wife number two divorced about a six months later. Raoul made no effort to get to know his young daughter, but he spared no expense getting her the best nannies, tutors, and therapist available. After she was doing academically well with her tutors, he quickly got her enrolled at Collège du Léman Sàrl, as a boarding student. She didn't hope for to much from him, the only male figures in her life thus far had been Vivienne's half a dozen or so toxic boyfriends, and a revolving door of flings. But a kid could hope.

She was surprised to find that she had two older brothers. The idea of having loving siblings was quickly smashed when Gervais made his negative opinion on Soraya's arrival well known. The few times Bernard came home from university on the weekends he attempted to be a big brother figure. The 12 year age gap didn't make is easy, she appreciated his friendliness none the less.

She would spend the next four years at boarding school. It was the most care and structure she had ever gotten in her life, and she thrived. She made friends, and excelled academically. She learned to play cello, and piano. She participated in swimming, gymnastics, skiing, and ballet. It became her happy place. The majority of her summer brakes were spent at the school's summer program, and a few weeks at one of the families summer estates, on the beach in southern Italy.

Soraya was in the middle of 7th grade when her father announced his engagement to Shelby. She had met her for the first time that previous summer, when the family all gathered together at a resort for a two week vacation in the Bahamas. Shelby was overall a good person, who genuinely wanted to get to know Soraya. Most of the vacation was spent together, swimming, sailing, and relaxing at the spa. Anyway she never thought Shelby and her father would get married. The wedding was held about a year later. It took place in California. She met her new step-sister Lola, and they were fast friends. She liked the role of being a big sister.

It was soon decided that Soraya would be going to high school at Shelby's alma mater BHHS. Moving to California and living as a family with her father, Shelby, and Lola was bizarre. Leaving her precious boarding school really changed things, and America was something else.

When she started as a freshman at BHHS, Soraya was a innocent fish out of water, whose knowledge of Beverly Hills social norms, and public American high school was nil. She was behind on pop culture, and the who's who of the California society pages, but that quickly ceased to be an issue with the help of her step-mother, and the Savoy name. She had so much free time on her hands, she had no idea what to do with herself.

Raoul playing at family, didn't last long. Soraya was half way though freshman year when he flew back to Europe. He spent less and less time in California. Shelby didn't seem to mind. He was bank rolling her life, and was happy enough with that.
