she's maternal cousins with spiderwebs, their moms had them about a month apart and were super close. and they were supposed to have grown up together but after charlie's mom passed and they moved to dc, arwen and her family moved to seattle where she's the only child of an affluent family (how they have their money is tbd). she moved to the bay area to attend uc berkeley to get a degree in genetics and plant biology and is currently in her third year of earning her phd plant biology. right now she volunteers in the nursery at the sf botanical gardens. arwen's a bit of a social butterfly, but at times she can also be a little vain and lazy. she has a taste for the finer things in life which ties in a lot with the vanity aspect of her but generally she's curious by nature and tenacious when it comes to achieving her goals by any means. think blair waldorf meets cheryl blossom?? and also her dad was extremely abusive towards her mom in childhood/teen years, which caused an altercation in her junior year that was really bad and even though her dad had started walking away, she might have accidentally on purpose pushed him down some stairs. aka she's nice but also extremely batshit crazy when it comes down to it.
