Background

Aryn is the youngest child of Geoffrey and Elizabeth Wakefield. Her great-grandfather, Charles Wakefield, founded Wakefield Publishing in 1795, and the reins have been passed down through the years, from her great-grandfather to her grandfather, and finally her father. Surrounded by books all her life, Aryn grew to love reading and would often be found curled up in her window seat with a book. Her favorites were fairy tales and books on the world and travel. She never wanted for anything as a child - except her parents' approval.

Aryn graduated from one of the top prep schools in New York and attended the Harvard School of Business as an Accounting and Management major to please her family. It was expected that she would assume a role in Wakefield Publishing as her brother and sister had before her, but Aryn's studies bored her in ways that no books ever had, and she dropped out after the first semester of her second year. Though she loved reading, she wanted no parts of the business side of it. She took an online course and indulged her desire to travel, interviewing for a flight attendant position with several major carriers. Her parents, furious, threatened to disown her if she pursued it as a career, and made good on the threat when she wouldn't back down. She took a job with a major carrier in Los Angeles and has not had any contact with them since - until her brother's wedding, where she overheard a conversation between them and her brother, in which it was revealed that it was easy for her parents to cut her out of their lives because they'd never actually wanted a third child, anyway.

Aryn still maintains contact with her siblings, though since she moved back to New York, she's only been in contact with her brother. Their relationship is great. He still calls her Goldilocks, after her favorite bedtime story. And they talk on the phone at least once a week. But things are strained between Aryn and her sister, and they don't really speak much. Serena was the first girl and was always the favored daughter. Aryn still harbors resentment for the fact that she was never able to gain her parents' approval no matter what she did or how hard she worked, but Serena got it without ever having to work for it. She just had to be born.

Aryn still struggles with being cut out of her parents' lives so easily. She pretends she's fine, and she usually is, but there are days when she's as far from fine as she can get, though recently they're occurring less frequently. When they do happen, though, those days usually involve a bar and a bottle of Cuervo - drinking buddy optional, but preferred. She tries not to judge a book by its cover, but she can be an utter judgmental bitch when she wants to be, and she tries to substitute her need for her parents' approval with the approval of people she's friends with, or thinks she could be. If she likes you, then your opinion matters to her, whether she's known you for years or a few hours.

She has a sharp tongue and can be bitingly sarcastic when she's feeling defensive. She's honest with people and expects the same in return, and it's usually best to give her a wide berth and time to cool down when she's pissed at you. If you push her too far, she'll push back. (Usually only with words, though she did take a couple karate lessons on a vacation to Japan. She liked it so much she enrolled when she got back to LA. Her schedule didn't leave her time to attend regularly, but she learned enough to get her green belt, and she'd use it if she felt physically threatened. :P) After the storm passes, she'll talk things out and probably forgive you for whatever it was that set her off.

The Muse

Aryn is an original character and not associated with any canon in any fandom. She is available for roleplay with pretty much anyone, and is open to playing a variety of timelines and storylines with a variety of RP partners at any given time. Her mun will RP almost anything, but she will not RP sex with any characters who are minors or muns who are minors, so please do not go there in an RP if you or your character are not a legal adult.

Canon: New York Aryn's current canon is that she moved back to NY from LA a little over a year ago. All the details of the way she's met the people she's met through

sixwordstories and

muse_dialogue,

makeyourlist, etc remain the same. She's romantically involved with Remy LeBeau (

acesupyersleeve) and they're expecting a baby girl in November.

tenebrae_nostro: Aryn's backstory remains the same. Still dropped out of Harvard to be a flight attendant, still disowned by her parents, still struggling with it. Only things that are different are that she doesn't move back to New York, and anyone she met in any other communities, she does not know in Tenebrae Nostro. The wedding thing with her brother may or may not still happen. Haven't decided yet. She's currently single in this 'verse.

AU: Los Angeles: (formerly named Ryan 'verse [with

nevercry_wolfe, AU]) She and Ryan Wolfe met on the T when she was a freshman at Harvard and he a senior at Boston University. He graduated and moved to Miami. Her backstory from there on is the same as the other verses: still dropped out, still a flight attendant, still disowned. They saw each other again when one of her flights took her to Miami, but they've decided to remain friends and leave it at that. She's currently single in this 'verse. (Currently inactive)

Tempus Incognitum: (credit to muns of

builfromscraps and

americas_cap for starting this crack AU 'verse, loosely based on Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602.) Aryn is the third and last child born to Lord Geoffrey and Lady Elizabeth Wakefield of Yorkshire. Considerably younger than her brother and sister, she was frequently left in the care of servants while Lord and Lady Wakefield and their two older children socialized with the others in their circle. The nurturing and attention Aryn received from the servants made up for the absence of the Lord and Lady, who had no time for a third child they'd never wanted. Especially one as headstrong as Aryn. She grew from a stubborn child into a stubborn and defiant young woman, often finding herself the subject of disdain for her refusal to submit and accept her place as a woman in society without complaint.

The Wakefields have no fortune to speak of, only the inherited lordship and the waning prestige that comes with the title. When Remy's [

acesupyersleeve] gambling hall opens, Lord Geoffrey sees it as an opportunity to make back the family fortune and reclaim the former glory of the Wakefield name in Yorkshire. But luck is against him and he loses what little money the family does have, ultimately borrowing against the lands they hold to try and recoup his losses. His plan fails and he comes out owing Remy a hefty sum. With no other way to settle his debt, and unable to marry her off because of her defiance in accepting her place as a woman in society, Lord Wakefield offers Aryn as payment and, with the support of his wife and other children, tells everyone that she ran off with a common thief and has been disowned for disgracing the Wakefield name by her actions.

With no money or property of her own, and nowhere else to go now that her family had disowned her, she goes to work for Remy at the gambling hall, where she serves food and drinks and continues to resist his advances and those of his patrons. Until one evening when one particular patron won't take no for an answer and is thrown out of the establishment by Remy himself. The man returns in full military uniform with several of his men and arrests everyone at the hall except for the rogue and his woman, who escape out a secret exit and flee to the waterfront where they sneak aboard a ship bound for an unknown destination. (Currently inactive)

(Other 'verses may be added, though it's not likely right now. More details may be added for her current verses as they are ironed out.)
