LAST ONE.

Name: Mia Gallagher
Age: Twenty-five
Family most closely affiliated with: Gallagher
Three Fast Facts:
• Mia has always been the ‘eccentric’ child. Nannies and teachers and family friends would describe her as ‘colorful’ and ‘energetic,’ rambunctious since an early age and constantly looking for something to get into, figuratively (countless adventures) or literally (head stuck in a doggy door.) Nonetheless she was the apple of her father’s eye and she took full advantage, clinging to the coveted title of ‘daddy’s girl’ well past the age most would deem proper, the driving force behind most of her conscious efforts to ultimately ‘please daddy.’ At one point there were some rumors going around that the relationship between them seemed a little inappropriate, all on Mia’s end, but it was never anything worth prompting an investigation. As Mia matured and hit puberty, she grew out of her obsession with her father and promptly grew into an obsession with her own twin, Matt. Matt who was going through his own shit but always had time for her, Matt who never brushed off her attentions in favor of work or their mother, Matt who would leave a bangin’ house party or the steamy interior of his car and an annoyed girlfriend/ho on the side to rescue Mia from her own demons.
• After one too many youthful misadventures (stealing a motorcycle and driving it into a lake), Mia was quietly hospitalized in a psychiatric institute, her parents concerned for what they perceived to be escalating unhealthy behavior. A month later, and she was released back into their custody with the diagnosis of ‘bipolar I disorder’ and a few scripts for mood stabilizing medications. Under their roof, she was regularly medicated and monitored, and her personality shifted back into flavors of normal, muted and boring and average. The daughter of a wealthy family, her illness was immediately fodder for the media though lawyers were brought in and gag orders distributed and some not so subtle threats made until a few apologies were printed and otherwise stories of Mia Gallagher vanished from the tabloids completely. Her life would’ve gone on from there, another cookie cutter rich girl going to school, getting married, popping out a few children and wasting away her remaining days shopping and banging the pool boy but for the fact that Mia was (stupidly) permitted to attend school far from home, at Dartmouth.
• Dartmouth wasn’t so much a random choice as an excuse to follow after serial bad influences, Prescott Sinclaire and Angelo Moretti. Her brother having matured in ways that made him less fun to be around, Mia refocused her attentions once more to Prescott, who never disappointed in his passion for hedonistic pursuits. She toughed it out at university for two years, majoring in English, until the two boys graduated and her motivation for sticking with it abruptly fizzled out and not only did she lose her desire for a degree and not totally humiliating her family, but suddenly her medication didn’t seem so necessary. She flitted around the country for months after that, partying, getting high, having meaningless sex until eventually landing herself in jail for possession and Matt, beloved Matt had to bail her ass out. Back home she went, unwillingly, back on her meds and things were normal again for a while. She found a new purpose in modeling, got scouted by an agency and seemed to have a knack for runway and editorial work, until of course she reunited with her favorite twosome and things have begun to spiral out of control again, bit by bit.
