❝ THE WORLD DOESN'T OWE YOU ANYTHING, AND NEITHER DO I. ❞ cruel words with which to raise a child, but for a young diana ingram, a HARSH TRUTH eventually becomes a MANTRA ; a code of conduct to LIVE BY. she doesn't come from MONEY ; her childhood home is not a STABLE one. it's not LOVING. she is not BORN diana felisa, but do not make the MISTAKE of trying to discover who she USED to be. that person — the person she WAS has not been BURIED in the past ; no, more than that, diana has LOCKED that person away neatly inside of a box and swallowed the key ! the diana that you see TODAY is born at the tender age of fifteen. there are no PARENTS to bring her into this world ; they cling instead to the GHOST of a child that is no more. everything diana wants, everything she NEEDS, she must earn for herself.
the climb to the top is STEEP when you're starting at the BOTTOM ; the shadows of a CONCRETE JUNGLE are enough to swallow the WEAK whole. but diana ingram is made of polished steel, she's STRONG. solid heels dig into asphalt and propel her forward, UPWARD ! ( she wants out of poverty, craves stability ! ) it helps that she's got a QUICK WIT and an INHERENT & INSATIABLE drive to succeed. and although she'll say she's done it alone, it was not entirely without HELP ; she's smart about it, makes connections with the right teachers & counselors to help MOLD her into the perfect candidate for an IVY LEAGUE future. she learns quickly that she's got a GIFT with words ; well-spoken, articulate, and COMMANDING when she speaks, networking comes easily. she can paint ANY image of herself to suit ANY need.
it comes as NO SURPRISE to a young & eager diana when she receives an acceptance letter from COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY ; she's graduated at the TOP of her class with an assortment of hefty scholarships & grants collected over the years from countless essays & extracurriculars. years of higher education are spent amassing all of the knowledge & experience she can land perfectly polished fingers on ; summers are spent in the CITY where diana seeks internship opportunities wherever she can. when she graduates, hard work presents REWARD in the form of a MASTER'S DEGREE in public administration. ( there is NO ONE in the audience to bear witness to the fruits of her labor as she walks across the stage, but diana ingram still holds her head HIGH ! )
the payoff for years of STRUGGLE & SACRIFICE arrives in her mid - twenties ; where her journey begins as a CLIMB, diana is suddenly CATAPULTED into the success she's longed for. or, the start of it, at very least ! she returns to the city from ithaca with OPTIONS ― before she's even laid a hand on her degree, she's built a GLITTERING reputation for herself. the choice of reputable, RESPECTED PR firms in the city is hers, and she'll spend the rest of her twenties building a CLIENTELE for herself that comes to boast some of the most important public figures in new york. somewhere in the whirlwind of it all, diana falls in LOVE with more than just her career ; it's new & compelling, REFRESHING, and in the midst of it all, she gets ENGAGED.
but nobody's story is ALL happy endings ! and diana has never been lucky, certainly not by her own consideration ; anything she's been BLESSED with has been by her own hand, her own work. and maybe that's her TRAGIC FLAW when it all boils down ― she's just always got to work, doesn't she ? for all that her aura to the public is one of warmth & calm, she's always got to be DOING something. doing MORE. striving to be BETTER ! as much as she tries to convince herself otherwise, diana doesn't have TIME for LOVE. when she ends up ALONE, a ring tucked deep in the drawer of her vanity to be forgotten, she reminds herself it's for the BEST. after all, how could she feel any sort of heartbreak over the promise of more time for herself ?
so she gets a cat and a couple of bottles of merlot to convince herself she's NOT LONELY because that feels like the right thing to do, but the truth of the matter ? the SOLITUDE drives her. it INSPIRES her. seeking more change, more experience, she leaves her PR agency to fill a full-time role putting out any potentially disastrous MEDIA FIRES at anunnaki pharmaceuticals before they've even got a chance to SPARK. and she's GOOD at it, too ! she's got a way with diversion, a gift for sweeping things under the rug and somehow spinning into GOLD what she can't hide away. it's a dangerous gift, particularly at the hands of a corporation like ANUNNAKI, but diana's come too far now to place much stock in MORALITY. at the end of the day, she's got to look out for number one : DIANA FELISA INGRAM.
WANTED CONNECTIONS.
THE MENTOR — just because diana ingram had to claw her way up to where she is now on her own does not mean she didn’t receive assistance from a few helping hands along the way. this muse met diana when she was young and eager to begin her ascent of the corporate ladder, and for whatever reason, decided to take her under their wing. whether this was via an apprenticeship, a first job, or just networking, this relationship formed the solid foundation for which diana could build her success. she owes them everything, and to this day, sends them flowers on the anniversary of their first meeting. ( 1/1 - marcia ramos )
THE DEVIL ON HER SHOULDER — anunnaki pharmaceuticals has been the perfect platform for diana to build a professional reputation ; the controversial corporation has allowed her ample opportunities to flex her mediative and diplomatic muscles and put herself at the forefront of the map when it comes to public relations management. she enjoys her job, but this muse has been whispering in her ear about the potential for something new, for growth. their offer is alluring, diana can’t lie ; more money, more power. more control. and while she’s always said she never owes anyone anything ( anyone except marcia, perhaps ) she feels an almost moral obligation to anunnaki. or perhaps it’s comfort ? all she knows, is she’s been thinking about this offer more and more as of late, and temptation is a fickle beast. is the devil she knows really better than the devil she doesn’t ? ( 1/1 - liena chen )
THE EX-FIANCE — yes, she was engaged and no, she’s not anymore. it was messy, alright ? the thing is, there’s nothing in this world diana is not willing to sacrifice in the name of her career and its continued success. nothing. if you ask her, she’s a perfect multi-tasker, and it’s absolutely possible to be both in love with your work and in love with someone else. maybe this muse had obligations of their own ( hiding criminal activity ? a similar passion for their career ? ) and that meant neither of them ever had time for each other, or maybe it was the fact that it felt like just diana wasn’t present in the relationship that brought things to an end. either way, as much as she hates to admit it to herself ( and she’d never admit it to anyone else ) she still loves them. she had no intention of ever breaking it off, after all. and yes, she still has the ring. you’re welcome to come get it from her, but she doesn’t do deliveries ( 0/1 / open to f/m/nb )
THE WORK FRIENDS — it’s literally a part of diana’s job description to be good at talking to people, so of course she’s going to have a few friends for some water cooler gossip in the office. maybe they go for drinks after they leave for the weekend to let off steam and talk some shit, or maybe your muse has signed up for one of her several video seminars on mindful speaking and the importance of public appearance — no, they’re not paid, but they are beneficial. and if you’ve got the patience to sit through one, congratulations, you are officially a part of her squad. that means monday morning pastries and friday morning starbucks waiting at your desk with love, matching stationery sets and customized skin care gifts to celebrate the smallest things, and weekly affirmation & goal-making sessions. ( 0/3 / open to employees of anunnaki pharmaceuticals )
THE WORK ENEMIES — along the same vein, there are certain people at anunnaki that diana just doesn’t agree with. maybe their social or professional decisions have made her life harder ; maybe they made a comment in the elevator on a bad morning that wasn’t even malicious but she can’t let it go ; maybe your muse is just perceptive enough to realize that diana is one of the most duplicitous people in the city, and she knows you know. no matter the cause, she’s always cordial and polite with them. rest assured, though, she is plotting their demise. ( 0/2 / open to employees of anunnaki pharmaceuticals + potentially previous employers, open to plotting )
LITERALLY ANYTHING ― friends / fwb / flings / exes / past clients / folks in need of her services . . . like when i tell you i am down for anything, just hit me up and we can plot !!
