anavalanche the backstory !꒰ past ꒱ ava grew up in vancouver, canada, in a wealthy but rigid household. the youngest of two daughters in a family that owned a luxury hotel chain, her life was built around discipline, appearances, and obedience. from childhood, she was shuttled between private tutors, extracurriculars, and etiquette lessons, with little room for freedom or fun. her older sister was the family's golden child; ivy league educated, effortlessly polished, and the clear heir to their parents' approval.expected to follow the same path, she earned an international business degree at 21 and spent the next five years working in the family company. though she excelled professionally, she hated every moment: the boardrooms, the soulless networking, the constant comparisons to her sister. ava truly felt suffocated and disconnected from the life she truly wanted. the breaking point came at 26, during a heated argument over an arranged marriage that would also serve as a business merger. ava quit on the spot, locked herself in her room for two weeks, and finally booked a one-way flight to australia with a single suitcase and her personal savings.꒰ present ꒱ what was meant to be a short escape turned into a new life in adelaide. after months of rest and quiet, ava decided to pursue the passion she had always been denied; patisserie and baking arts. she enrolled at ellison academy last year and is now in her second semester, splitting her time between perfecting her pastry skills, playing on the tennis team, and just living the slow, quiet life she's always wanted.cut off from her family and keeping her whereabouts a secret, ava is determined to live on her own terms. on campus, she's known for her sharp tongue, polished style, and sometimes, a knack for stirring up drama. whether she's repping the bhakti yoga club or casually reshaping social dynamics, ava has fully embraced her second act and she has no plans of going back.
