Ana had a relatively normal middle class childhood, her father being a police officer and her mother being a teacher at an elementary school. She grew up athletic and had a love for gymnastics that eventually coincided with cheerleading. Ana received a cheerleading scholarship from the University of Washington, but dropped out after one year. A noted occurrence while growing up was the age in which Ana's body sexually matured. Growing up awkward, she felt more so when at the age of thirteen the main subject floating around her grade was her breasts. Much of her adolescence was spent having boys gawking at her and girls whispering names at her. Ana lost her virginity at fifteen and remained in a relationship with the boy she lost it to for the majority of high school. Though after this relationship ended on sour terms, her partner proceeded to plaster her private nudes all over the school with the help of his friends. This eventually lead to Ana dropping out of university and buying a ticket to Thailand. Phuket, Thailand. ages 19-24 Ana began traveling at age nineteen. Beginning with Australia and making her way through surrounding areas, before landing in Thailand and eventually Phuket. Falling in love with the easiness of the beach and the kind hearts of Thais, Ana quickly planted herself. Spending her days lying on the sand or adventuring with friends, she found a job at a popular bar in the area and proceeded to become a favourite of both locals and tourists. Though with no desire to leave her dream life and face the reality of life, Ana was pushed to leave in late 2016 due to a family emergency. NYC, NY. ages 24 After a family emergency involving her brother going to rehab, Ana moves to New York to stay with a friend. Currently, she is working as a bartender at 1Oak. _________________________________________________ _________________________________________________ Sent to: [e-mail] From: [e-mail] Cormac, It's difficult for me to express how I feel, because I still very much love you. I remember reading a quote that said once you love something, you will always love apart of it. I guess that reigns very true as after all you've done I still want to forgive you and let you in. But this will never happen because I will never trust you. And the parts that I love about you, are parts that no longer exist. You were the person who would drop anything to help a stranger in need, who would rather spend their Saturday night watching 80's movies than playing beer pong at a party, you were the type that wouldn't hover in the mirror before they went out. You were never vain, or cruel, or materialistic. There are two types of people: those who lift others up and those who tear others down. You have both lifted me and torn me down. The latter can't be forgiven. I have never cried as much as I have this past week. My heart has never physically hurt this much. But I'm certain that this experience will only make me stronger. I can push and call you a horrible person, but I'm sure with my absence you know the pain you have caused. And I'm also sure that you understand why this will be the last time I speak to you. I hope that you can find your way back to yourself and that you notice that some things are forever, but popularity and fame are short lived. I wish no bad feelings, but only the best. - Ana _________________________________________________ Ana as described by her older brother Ana is beautiful in a way that is not physical. As quiet and shy as she is, she is magnetic when she walks into a room. Soft-spoken, generous, and intelligent when she addresses others, she brings out good qualities in others that you may not have seen. Elegant, though she's lived the past five years in a bikini she still manages to appear modest as ever. I think I'm making her seem saintly. Like everyone, she can be selfish. She'll never fully commit to an idea or event, she's flaky as fuck. Always one foot out the door, Ana has. She's afraid, but she won't admit it. Brave in many ways, but most of her decisions are guarded by fear. Ana's distant, she keeps herself far from harm's way in both a mental and physical sense. Why else do you think she's lived so far from her family? But on another positive, she's loyal. When things happen, she's on a flight back to home. If you need to talk and it's the middle of the night for her, she'll pick up. She's not always there but she is when she needs to be.
