Phyllis [OC]

PHYLLIS MOORE!

I adopted this young lady from a now inactive user on Furry Amino named Prince Elliot T-T. She is probably the most emotionally damaged out of all my chars, be warned. Also regretfully some of the art I have of her I do not have the artist's credits. :(

!!TW: ADDICTION AND ABUSIVE BEHAVIORS/PAST!!

Her birthday is October 28th.

Her personality type is ESFP-T

Her likes include vodka, stimulants, anything that will distract her from reality, comfy clothes, fresh laundry, warm blankets, loud music, live performance, fall weather, sweets, meeting new people, her sister Pearl, praise, hugs, and being able to comfort others.

Her dislikes include judgmental people, vegetables, filth, people who try to tell her to get better, having to stay at home for long periods of time, cooking, bigots, unreliable friends, going to places like museums, aquariums, art galleries etc because they're "boring", and seeing her bank account is empty.

Phyllis is a extroverted, dancey-dancing party girl. She's a daredevil who, although she cares a lot about others, ends up being a very selfish person because of her addiction problems.

She grew up in a small, rural village called Haywood. Her father owned the towns grocery store, Moore's Grocery Store. Her childhood home was a large apartment above the grocery store. Her family consists of herself, her father Phillip, her mother Irene, and her older sister Pearl. Growing up Phyllis and Pearl both watched their father be an inattentive, glazed over, lost in the sauce man who never made time for his family because he was "too busy" attending to the grocery store. He seemed to enjoy the locals company more than his own family, for his own reasons I'm sure. Their mother Irene never left the house. Ever. When she was awake she would be drinking and if she wasn't drinking she was screaming at and abusing her kids. Or watching something stupid on their nice TV. Never cleaning, their house was always absolutely disgusting. The sink was always piled over onto the counters. The trash was always full with multiple bags sitting in the floor with nobody taking them out. The table and counters would always be covered in every object you could imagine cluttering a dirty kitchen.

The main memories Phyllis has of her mom is being berated, accused, and made to feel worthless as long as she could remember. The most peaceful memories she has of her mom would be coming home to her mom passed out on the couch, bottle in hand.

She doesn't have many memories of her father, but the ones she does have are positive. He would always ask her for help around the store, ask her to help take the local's groceries home with them, ask her to go run errands around town he was to busy to do and he always would give her a gift or make her feel appreciated in some way or another.

She always would be as helpful and supportive to everyone as possible. She would always make jokes, take things lightly, and keep a smile on her face. At night when everyone would be asleep she would often times leave the house to go to her special spot, the church roof, where the view points away from town and you can see the entire sky, the snowy pine forest mountains in the far distance, and the river running away from town. This is the one place where Phyllis would let go and stop pretending to be the happy girl everyone knows her as.

When Phyllis got older she decided to move away to the city (which I have yet to name lol) and roommate with her sister. When she moves away she gets swept into the nightclub scene, she starts drinking and taking pills to keep up the façade that she is without flaws. She met at one of these clubbing nights, 5 days into a stimulant-fueled manic episode, a woman named Calypso.

After some time Phyllis and Calypso started dating, and eventually they got their own apartment together. In this apartment Calypso realizes how bad Phyllis' addiction problems are and how deep rooted her issues and insecurities are from her childhood. Calypso's life hasn't been perfect either so she really wants to help her. She's faced her own demons. She tries to help her, she does everything she can to support her and talk her out of continuing that lifestyle. Begs her to go get help, to go to therapy, or rehab. Eventually Calypso can't take it anymore because it is taking such a toll on her and gives Phyllis an ultimatum. It's Calypso, or it's the drugs. This causes a HUGE fight between the two of them where Phyllis attacks Calypso.

If you want to know more you'll just have to just read my comic when I start it :D because i have already said far too much.
