IMPORTANT / BACKGROUND

accidents . they happened to everyone . walker kwon grew up knowing that he was just that . an accident . born to parents who weren't ready for the role . the few memories from before landing in the home of the miller's still to this day have him waking in a cold sweat , as fragmented as they are. the sound of glass breaking causes him to shrink in on himself . yelling and fighting are often the cause of an anxiety attack that can only be calmed by the right voice singing the right tune .

walker couldn't remember the faces of the people that brought him into the world , only that they were not the same as the one's who had raised him . there was no resemblance between himself and the miller's . as a young boy it bothered him , he couldn't explain why he didn't have the same eyes as his mother or nose like his father . as a teenager it was a source of shame and kids were mean . now as a young adult he only wanted to make sure they never regretting their decision to raise him .

perhaps it was all of these factors that led to walker being the anxious child he was , always worried he could lose them all . his parents who weren't really his parents , his sibling who wasn't really his sibling at least not by blood -- but at the same time the person he loved most in the world . what if some day the people from his nightmares , his memories , came back for him ? what if someday the miller's decided they didn't want him either and sent him back ?

therapy started too late and was now working to not only help with childhood trauma but also get past all the walls he'd built for himself over the years . walker had a series of coping mechanisms he'd created on his own to make himself try and feel more secure . if he was perfect enough , always getting the top marks , involved in school sports , class president , never too loud , always polite , didn't show too much emotion , and never stepped out of line -- there would be no reason not to want him . maybe they could even love him .

HEADCANONS

carries a paper bag in his backpack at all times incase he hyperventilates. it's been known to happen at the worst times.

often found at the skatepark when he's not at college or work, throwing himself off the ramps on a small wooden board is one of the moments he feels carefree

stops to pet all the dogs

comes across as very uptight at first, rule follower and closed off, but will let you see glimpses of the real him the more you get to know him

wants everyone to like him

is annoyingly good at everything

if he is bad at something first try though he will never do it again

he can't cook so as if to prove the above point, he doesn't do it ever and would rather starve then attempt to make himself a meal or will walk an hour away to buy food

has a cat named lillian that he found abandoned on the way home from school one day and couldn't just leave behind... they had too much in common himself and the kitten

is taking business and art courses in college because he has a passion for drawing and is considering jobs in that field but wanted to please the miller's so went into the reliable choice of business

Smart as a whip, clever when she needs to be, and loves to be outdoors, soaking up sunshine. But she also can have a hard, callous edge to her when life gets hard.

WRITTEN BY: Katie (she/her), est.

BACKGROUND / BIO

TRIGGERING / SENSITIVE CONTENT: illness, child illness, death, child death, injury

Big sister, doctor, wife – and then what? It’s a question Olivia asks herself all the time. Born on June 23, 1988, Olivia Ann Hartman – or Livvy, to absolutely everyone who knows her – has always had a nurturing soul, whether it be towards animals or her little siblings. Although she was close to both her brother and sister, there was no denying that Olivia and Miranda were thick as thieves, whether that meant fighting over who was wearing what dress to the family party, or escaping the stresses of real life at the animal shelter, volunteering their time to pet puppies. And when she wasn’t spending time with little sis, Livvy had her nose in the books, always pulling straight-As and being a goal oriented student, which left little time for dating (outside of a handful of relationships), although she was a popular, well-liked student in high school.

By the time college years rolled around, Livvy knew exactly what she wanted to do. Go away. Although she loved Merrock and her life as the big sister, she also knew how much pressure that she felt in the role, from her parents, her teacher, and perhaps worst of all, herself. By escaping to the west coast, Olivia was able to enroll in the UCSF School of Medicine with the goal of becoming a pediatrician, wanting to hone in one her love of children and her easygoing nature with them to help them, most of all. It didn’t take long after arriving to San Francisco for Olivia to accidentally kind of sort of find herself in love. Oliver, a handsome, slightly older man with a mansion on the beach and three gorgeous children of his own, gave her a wonderful life, taking care of her and helping her with her schooling. In return, Olivia fell in love with his children, playing with them on the beach every afternoon, helping with school work, and trying to carve out a place in their lives as a not quite mother, but not quite friend. Everything was going well, with Olivia and Oliver talking about marriage and happily ever after until his youngest daughter fell sick, and was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Between treatments and appointments and long hospital stays, no matter how much Olivia tried to be there for the family while juggling her own schooling and future, things fell apart, and soon after the little one lost her battle, they separated.

A bit lost in the world, Olivia took a small break from school (no longer sure if she wanted to work with children full-time), living off of savings in a tiny condo with some friends that she had made. It was on a hike in the hills, after falling and breaking a leg, that a sort of ‘miracle’ happened. If a miracle could consist of someone needing physical therapy and realizing it was a career path they could take themselves. Studying her ass off, Livvy was lucky enough to receive a call right after graduation from White Heron Wellness, back in Merrock (no doubt helped along by her parents), offering her a position in the clinic. She packed her bags, hopped on a plane, and returned home for the first time in a decade. Once settled into her new life in Merrock, as much as she tried to keep her focus on nothing but work and growing her career, she couldn’t help to be charmed – in an angry way, at first – by a former classmate, a fellow physical therapist at the clinic. Who she hated… until she didn’t. The two had a secret thing for a while, before it became not such a secret in 2017, and culminated in a beautiful wedding in 2019. Happily married for a little while, things seemed perfect until they weren’t, and the two ended up filing for divorce. Sometimes no amount of love that two people have for one another can shake the pasts that they hold on to and their own hang-ups.

After a trip to the west coast to visit friends and reconnect with herself and some turbulent ups and downs and will they, won't theys with her ex, Livvy has finally found herself moving on with her life, picking up volunteering at the local therapeutic riding program with hopes of becoming an instructor herself, and most importantly: getting out to make herself happy again.

Pudelpointer Overview & 7 Things You Should Know!

A brief examination of Pudelpointer

The Pudelpointer originated in Germany. It can hunt in a variety of ways. It is a popular breed that is known for being intelligent, loyal, and a good hunter. The Pudelpointer is popular among hunters and outdoor enthusiasts because it can be used in a variety of hunting situations.

History

Where the breed originated:

In the late 1800s, Poodles and Pointers were bred together to create the Pudelpointer breed. The goal was to create a versatile hunting dog with Pointer-like hunting instincts and stamina and Poodle-like intelligence and ability to pull things out of water. The breed was created by a German breeder named Baron von Zedlitz and Neukirch. Hegewald, a well-known German hunter, continued the breeding program.

The Pudelpointer differs from other Poodle breeds in the following ways:

The Pudelpointer differs from other types of Poodles in that it was designed to be a good hunter. Other types of Poodles may excel at obedience, agility, or therapy work, but the Pudelpointer is primarily bred for its hunting ability. It is intelligent and trainable like a Poodle, but it is also quick and smells like a Pointer.

Characteristics

External appearance:

The Pudelpointer is a strong and muscular dog about the size of a Labrador Retriever. It has a distinctively shaped head and an appropriately sized body. The breed's thick, water-resistant double coat protects it in all weather conditions. A coat can be various shades of liver, black, or brown.

Character traits:

People describe the Pudelpointer as intelligent, easy to train, and hardworking. They want to do what you want, and it's in their nature to hunt. They are also very adaptable, and can easily transition from wild hunting to being a loving pet. Pudelpointers are typically family-oriented, loving, and gentle.

Temperament:

Pudelpointers have a well-balanced personality. They are both aware and unconcerned. They are known for their stability and calm, making them ideal for homes with children and families. They are usually friendly and social if you teach them how to be.

Size:

Pudelpointers are medium-sized dogs. The majority of males stand between 23 and 26 inches tall at the shoulders, while the majority of females stand between 21 and 24 inches.

Weigh:

A Pudelpointer weighs between 44 and 66 pounds on average, but this can vary depending on the dog and its gender.

Lifespan:

A Pudelpointer lives between 12 and 14 years on average. They can live even longer if they are well cared for, eat well, and visit the vet on a regular basis.

People education and training

Early education and socialization are critical:

Pudelpointers must be socialized and trained from an early age. When you start training and socializing them when they are young, you can help shape their behavior, set limits for them, and teach them how to behave in social situations. It is critical to expose them to a variety of environments, people, animals, and experiences so that they grow into well-rounded and well-behaved dogs.

The following training methods were proposed:

Pudelpointers respond well to training methods that use positive reinforcement, such as rewarding good behavior with treats, praise, or playtime. They are simple to train because they are intelligent and eager to please. The most effective way to train someone is to be consistent, patient, and to give firm but kind instructions.

How to handle some of the most common behavioral issues:

Even though Pudelpointers are generally good dogs, if they are not properly trained and socialized, they can cause problems. Fear of being alone, excessive barking, and digging are all common behavioral issues. To address these issues, you must provide them with regular exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement training methods. If the problems persist, consulting with a professional dog trainer or behaviorist may be beneficial.

Taking care of business

Common diseases and how to recognize them:

Pudelpointers, like all dog breeds, can have health issues. Hip dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy (PRA), and ear infections are among the most common health issues in this breed.

Nails should be cut on a regular basis, ears should be cleaned, and teeth should be cared for.

Having children and reproducing:

Pudelpointer breeders should be able to be trusted and care for their dogs. They are concerned about the breed's health and well-being, conduct health checks on the parents, and breed ethically. It is critical to conduct research and select a breeder who is dedicated to producing healthy, friendly Pudelpointers.

Reputable breeders can tell you about the parents' health, perform health tests, and assist you in caring for your puppy for the rest of its life. Good breeders can be found through online directories, breed-specific clubs or associations, or recommendations from people you trust.

Staring at the sun health benefits

#Staring at the sun health benefits skin#

Improve your health by visiting the ocean on a regular basis. Sand is a natural exfoliant and rubs away dead skin, letting your pores breathe.

#Staring at the sun health benefits skin#

Sea salt is packed with healthy skin-friendly minerals like magnesium, calcium and potassium, which is why clean sea water is beneficial to various skin conditions. Swimming in salt water helps cleanse our pores deeply and revives our skin. “Once they reach our bloodstream, negative ions are believed to produce biochemical reactions that increase levels of the mood chemical serotonin, helping to alleviate depression, relieve stress, and boost our daytime energy” according to WebMD. Abundant in nature, especially around waterfalls and the ocean, and in forests, negative ions are oxygen atoms with negatively-charged electrons. Visiting the ocean allows us to breathe in clean, pure, salty sea air, which is filled with beneficial negative ions. Being by the ocean inspires you to get moving and be outdoors. Salt water produces the hormones serotonin and melatonin, which reduce stress levels, put you in a happy mood, and give you good night’s sleep. Being by the ocean encourages you to go for a walk along the sand, or maybe even a jog, take a swim, or try surfing, boogie boarding, or stand-up paddling.īeaches have been shown to have a calming effect on people.

8/12/20: cognitive therapy

If Physical Therapies deal (basically) with one major problem, cognitive therapy deals with a nest of interlacing issues. Certainly short term memory, working memory, more complex processing. Likely some spatial perception/orientation issues too. Not to mention believing our house is actually our house --- an issue that can arise when we come back to it from outside. I know that I can’t fully trust my memory now; if I’ve told a story or described something that happened a long time ago in one way more than once, it’s hazy enough anyway that what happened and what I tell people happened is no longer very clearly distinguished in my mind. So I can only very, very vaguely imagine what making sense of the world and her life seems like to Cindy.

When I say complex processing, a task doesn’t have to be too intricate to cause problems --- say trying to add three single digit numbers instead of two. And, as her neuropsych mentor reminds me, she doesn’t have the mental scaffolding most of us use to problem solve. Switch some little thing to understand or do and it might be a whole new ballgame for her without the internal networking to adjust easily.

If you are just interacting socially with her, this may seem hard to believe. Her social intelligence is still nicely calibrated, and all those who know something about brain injury and rehab are routinely astonished at how sophisticated and quick her verbal intelligence still is. (Yesterday: hearing 60′s song Incense and Peppermint on XM in the car, she sang along with: Incest and Pestilence...) A long, slow recovery with standard therapies + some home tinkering has brought us now to a relatively stable six month period. She shows a range of behavior and mental processing (perception, memory, reasoning + motivation, will and emotion) that can swing wildly, but now seems to have a top and bottom “normal” range. I wish she operated near the top of that range longer and more frequently. But I’m grateful that bottoms are more often parts than full days.

One cog therapy example. She has been working on a very concrete memory task: seeing if on demand she can produce the names of all three of our synagogue’s rabbis. Something she knew as well as her own name once. The newest one keeps slipping her mind. The rehab technique is for me to remind her of the names often for several days before asking her to produce them. She’s always better with cues than a big blank canvas. Recently, after asking her to name them, I asked how many were women. She couldn’t, without lots of reframing help, do it.

Her reading of her own writing can be off, and though she’s writing on a straighter line these days and with not such teeny-tiny cramped lettering, she still adds extra letters when writing and doesn’t always accurately see what she’s written. When reading the newspaper, she might repeat headlines (yes, Cindy, I’ve heard that one three times) or just fuse several stories together without realizing it. Just to let you know how remarkable her easy social discourse and lively wit really are!

If these were normal times, her cog therapist would like to have set up a perceptual/visual screening. I know from experience now that she has trouble picking up the forest through the trees, separating foreground from background, etc. She can focus on one detail and not see a whole, etc. It can take a while, especially outdoors, to direct her to pick up something I’m pointing out to her in a little distance. Luckily, the red tailed hawk just outside our backyard a couple weeks ago liked his perch enough to stay long enough for me to find a view that let her pick it out. Wow. What all this must feel like day in and day out. Maybe it’s lucky if she doesn’t remember it very cohesively. Over time, it’s led her to be less determined, more willing to just see something as too hard to capture. No wonder.

Cog therapy work usually is very specific. Another recent example, working with 3 items from a recipe. Say tuna salad. What do you want to put in it? Can you write those ingredients down. Read what you’ve written. Remember what you’ve written and why. How’s the spelling? Spacing? (my questions to assist in remote work). I showed her that list a week later: she had no idea what it was.

The next week something much harder she actually handled better (it’s the day, not the task that’s key I tell her therapist). A house for sale on our block. 1500 square feet. $700,000. Brick. How accurate not an issue. She has no sense of market value now anyway. Then a bunch of questions, but built into a natural conversation about this house. Also, tricky, this week some statements that might or might not be accurate. Çould she tell the difference? Yes.

How Cindy describe her attention and focus: “It slithers.”

Danielle (Morgan, our SLP/cognitive therapist) asked us both not too long ago if we thought Cindy’s personality had changed since her bleed. Cindy didn’t know. I said, surprisingly, luckily, maybe remarkably: not much.

Danielle reminds me that research and experience tells rehab specialists that progress comes from concrete, specific goal focus.I note, from my untutored but long term close observation, that mental stimulation is good for her in many ways, stagnation is bad. A rising tide lifts all ships.

One recent evening it was getting on toward her bedtime, and we were in the kitchen watching one PBS thing or another to get to 8 pm. C is reaching out towards the table --- for water? --- having pushed herself away. She could use her chair’s wheel rims to get closer quickly, but she reaches. Even after I’ve reminded her. Maybe the gesture has less to do with reaching the water than something I don’t understand and she can’t communicate.

I joke: You look like you’re wishing and hoping and … what’s the rest of that song line? Dusty Springfield, right? Of course Cindy knows.

She: planning?

I look it up. Ah. Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying. Planning and dreaming… so planning is in there somewhere. Yep, I say, that’s what it looks like you’re doing when reaching for the table. Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying. Planning and dreaming…

8/12/20: our 47th wedding anniversary.

STATS

Name: Gwyneth “Gwen” Prescott

Age: Eighteen

Zodiac: Gemini

Grade: Senior

House: Seton

Cabin Room: Senior Cabin: Room 1

How long have they been at Broadripple: Four years

Where are they from originally: Massachusetts

Extracurricular: Student Council { President } & Buddy Club.

TRAITS

Positive Personality Traits: Resourceful, Ambitious, Persevering.

Negative Personality Traits: Snobby, Rude, Controlling.

ABOUT & PERSONALITY

Gwen is super strong-willed and very arrogant, it’s not easy to argue with her, not that she’s always right but she is relentless and pigheaded about pretty much everything.

She likes control, a bit too much, and the one thing she knows she can control the most is herself. Sometimes this leaks into her personal life, causing her to suffer through unnecessary physical exertion or the obsessive nature over something she would otherwise let slide easily. She struggles to find balance.

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault! She’s not had a direct experience with sexual assault, but someone in her family has been prosecuted and it’s given her a very big complex over not trusting boys at all. It’s a major reason why she’s very aggro towards them and distrusting.

A proud member of the Big Tiddy Committee lol.

She’s not popular per se, but Gwen is known by all, mostly because of her turbulent attitude and the fact that she doesn’t make it easy to ignore her. She’s very patriotic for BA, and often the most competitive in school events. She is also the president of the student council.

HEADCANONS

TRIGGER WARNING: Eating Disorders! Since her first summer before attending Broadripple, Gwen was clinically diagnosed with an eating disorder. Her parents spent a lot of time, care and money to get her healthy again and has been pretty good about it until her senior year. The stress of her personal life and exam times make it hard for her not to fall back into bad habits, and these are easily noticeable by close friends or observers.

She’s very opinionated on men and how terrible they are, but according to most, they don’t even think she’s had a proper boyfriend. If she has, they can’t really remember it if she ever dated someone at Broadripple.

Gwen is always seen wearing or owning blue accessories. Most notable are her blue hair ribbons and navy gym wear. She’s a big blue fan.

Her laptop holds a lot of social blackmail but is locked behind very tricky passwords.

LINKS

Her pinterest!

Her playlist!

Her character tag on my blog!

Her aesthetics!

Her socials!

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RETREAT

What do they think about The Retreat?

At first, Gwen was pretty excited and interested to see what the town had done with the campsite, as she’d not heard of it before and thought that odd as she likes to think she knows everything. Plus, as a House Captain and Student Council President, she thinks she’s HBIC basically and sees it as a great opportunity to pester staff and keep students in line.

Do they have any previous experience with camping or other outdoors?

Only a small compulsory camp at the end of her summer before attending Broadripple, which was more of a therapy retreat. She wont really talk about it or reference it though, as it was at a pretty bad time in her life.

What does their cabin bunk look like? How will they decorate their space?

Gwen keeps her living spaces extremely neat and organised. She’s very picky about her surroundings, she often likes to have trophies to display but this isn’t exactly the setting for it. So mostly, she’s likely to have brought some favorite books and textbooks to catch up on study. Just because she’s not at campus, doesn’t mean she doesn’t still need to pass with flying colors at the end of the year and she’s still goal-orientated that way. She sleeps with a special posture pillow, and an eye mask to block out the light. ( Also to not have to look at Damian if she doesn’t have to. ) Gwen’s always got her laptop hidden, same with her phone, as she doesn’t want anybody to happen across them while unlocked. They are likely in her fancy blue suitcase which is locked under her bunk, as she refuses to sleep on a top bunk.

Do they believe in the supernatural? To what degree?

Yes, but she pretends that she doesn’t. People used to play a lot of pranks on her in her freshman year because she wasn’t so feared, nor notorious back then. Senior boys were the worst.

Are they easily spooked?

Absolutely.

QUIZ RESULT:

you're the real danger: everyone talks about what they hear and see out in the woods but what about what's in the room with them? if everyone already thinks they're hearing things, it wouldn't be that hard to cover everything up
