i would like ANYTHING, a fling/an ex, a close friend, an enemy, an adopted relative, neighbor, whatever. and this is my long c/p, so:
dylan's a 25 year old sort of orphan, in that she probably has a father out there somewhere, but he split long before she was born so he might as well be dead. i'm still working out the details on this next part, but she grew up either in a combination of foster care with an adopted family, fully in the foster system until she aged out OR she got adopted very young because babies are cute and a hot adoption commodity. but regardless, she's a little all over the place in the most lovable way. she was a nightmare in school (was ALWAYS the kid causing trouble, but would sweet talk her way out of getting too bad of a punishment), and managed to skate by just shy of flunking and then would pull a miracle out of her ass to pass. she is the type of person that is good at everything, but never sticks with anything long enough for it to matter, so she's had about 1,800 odd jobs, and is DEFINITELY the person that would kill at jeopardy because her brain is just a sponge for random, seemingly useless information. she is a total sweetheart who also has a hulk side when she's hungry or someone makes her angry (usually by fucking with someone she cares about), and while she's got a huge heart it takes her a while to truly let people in past the surface. unless you're a romantic prospect, in which case she falls fast and hard, and it usually blows up in her face. she's the epitome of this tiktok, which is actually perfect for her private investigator gig, because she's able to blend in or stand out when needed, and i haven't quite worked out how she ended up in cali or how she fell into being an investigator, but that's her in a very long nutshell
