H E I G H TXANDXB U I L D: 5'7", slim
Georgie can, at first, come across as somewhat intimidating. Pretty much always dressed in black, multiple piercings in each ears, and, depending on what she’s wearing, sometimes multiple tattoos on show. She swings between having two notches shaved into her eyebrow and letting them grow in full, depending on her mood and impulsivity at any given time. She’s got a bad case of resting bitch face too, making her look scarier than she is. But the minute she engages in conversation, her whole demeanor seems to change. Her smile lights up her entire face, and there’s pretty much always a twinkle in her eye. Her personality also shines through in fun and cute graphic t-shirts and her tattoos. If she has to go into the office for anything, she sticks to button down shirts and slacks with a blazer, but day too day she tends to wear more punk and rocker influenced outfits, usually with ripped jeans and combat boots. All of her tattoos are in places that are both easy to cover up and easy to show off, depending on her outfit. She has a phases of the moon tattoo on her spine, some cute space symbols on her ankle, a panda on the outside of her right wrist, arrows on the outside of her left forearm, and a rainbow bar just below her right elbow. She’s got her fair share of scars, both from her childhood and teenage stupidity.

P E R S O N A L I T Y:
Georgie is the type of person that seems to have unlimited reserves of energy. She works full-time as a social media manager and content creator for an up-and-coming company based in the city, while also managing her own blog and YouTube channel and occasionally making her own short films. She’s that person who’s almost annoyingly chirpy in the mornings, no matter how little sleep she’s had. Even after a long day, she’s still down for going for a few drinks or out clubbing. No matter how busy she is, if a friend asks a favour of her, she’ll always do it, and she’ll always do it well and perfectly on time. Nobody’s quite sure how she manages it, but she does.
Given that her whole brand is “your gay mom”, it’s no surprising that she’s fiercely protective of everyone she cares about. She’s been known to step in and fight their battles for them because she can’t bear to see her friends struggling and getting hurt. She tries not to interfere as much as possible, but sometimes does so unintentionally in order to protect her friends. Seeing people getting hurt because they dared to simply be themselves breaks her heart especially, and she’s been known to step in to protect complete strangers. In these situations, she has a tendency of getting in over her head, letting her mouth get the better of her, and talking with her fists, but she usually comes out alright.
Truth be told, a lot of her persona is an act. Her dating life has been a disaster from the start and shows no signs of getting any better. She’s across the country from her family and usually only sees them once or twice a year. She’s desperately lonely, even if she won’t admit it, and her busy lifestyle is just intended to distract her. For the most part, she genuinely is just that energetic and enthusiastic, but she’s also been known to use prescription drugs to give her a boost when she needs it. It’s a habit she’s trying to kick, but there are days when resisting it just takes too much energy.

Georgie never knew her birth parents. They were killed in a car accident days after she was born, and she was put into care. She was in care until she was six, when she was adopted by a gay couple. They had already adopted three kids and were emergency foster careers, so Georgie grew up in a chaotic, but loving, household. Her parents made sure to tell each and every one of them how much they were loved on a regular basis, and supported them in everything they did. They didn’t care who their kids were or who they loved, which meant Georgie never felt the need to come out to her parents.
She was sixteen when she first discovered the world of blogging. A few of her friends already had blogs so she mostly started hers to see what the fuss was about. But her witty, charming commentary on her household and her life quickly became popular, and she showed a huge affinity for social media and content creation. Her parents bought her a good camera and a lighting set up for her eighteenth birthday, and she began her YouTube channel. When it came to going to college, she knew that her grades were good enough to get her into most colleges. But she wasn’t ready to move away just yet, and chose to live at home and attend her local community college to major in media studies with a minor in film and screen studies, while balancing her blog on the side.
Immediately after graduating, Georgie was offered a job in New York. A tech start-up was looking for someone to run their social media and make occasional content, and one of the founders had been following Georgie and her online presence for a few years. He reached out to her and offered her the job. It required moving across the country- but it was her dream job and the money was good. At first, she lived in a tiny studio apartment, barely big enough for her and all her equipment. But when the company got a big contract, it came with a pay rise for Georgie, and she moved into a nicer apartment. She wasn’t sure what to expect when she placed the advertisement for a roommate, but Viv was better than anything she could have imagined. They clicked right away and became friends. Georgie’s ignoring the feelings that the other girl evokes in her. She doesn’t want to ruin things between them, and anyway, Viv has a boyfriend.
