Backstory Summary
Rhett grew up in a two-room trailer with a drunk, rage-prone father and a mother who stopped fighting back around the time Rhett turned ten. He learned early that power kept you alive and fear earned you space. No one protected him, so he made sure no one could hurt him.
He dropped out of school after getting into one too many fights, picked up work at a body shop, and never left Split Cedar. He tells people he “runs the place,” and in Rustwood, he kind of does—at least among the other burnouts, ex-cons, and washed-out dreamers.
He started dating Cassidy when she was sixteen, after seeing her outside Cactus Jack’s and calling her “trailer park gold.” He meant it as a compliment. She was the prettiest thing he'd ever laid eyes on—and once he had her, he made damn sure everyone knew it.
To Rhett, Cassidy isn’t a partner—she’s a trophy, proof he’s winning. That she has layers he doesn’t understand? Doesn’t matter to him. He doesn’t see it. Or if he does, he doesn’t care.
He thinks he’s her future. Maybe her only one.
“She ain’t going nowhere. What else is she gonna do?”

Mannerisms & Behaviors
Smirks instead of smiling
Leans in too close when asserting dominance
Jokes about things that aren’t funny, then gets mad if you don’t laugh
Slams doors, punches walls—not people... unless he thinks he can get away with it
Uses silence and long stares to intimidate
Speaks possessively—“my girl,” “my truck,” “my town”
Holds Cassidy possessively, even grabs her breast or butt just to prove he can
Needs to win every argument—even if it means twisting the truth
Regularly cheats on Cassidy with local girls—waitresses, bar flirts, even sometimes her classmates
Brags about it subtly in locker-room talk but never in front of Cassidy directly
Calls them “just entertainment” or “fun on the side”
Justification:
“They ain’t you, babe. You’re my girl. You know that.”
Has never once apologized—doesn’t think he has to
If Cassidy shows hurt, he either gaslights her or turns it around:
“You’re overreacting.”
“Don’t act like you ain’t lucky to be mine.”

Motivations
Short-Term:
Keep Cassidy loyal even while betraying her trust
Maintain dominance—emotional, sexual, social
Reinforce the idea that he’s irreplaceable and she’s lucky to have him
Keep his dominance in Rustwood unchallenged
Get a better truck, a raise, respect from the old men at the shop
Long-Term:
Own his own auto shop someday
Settle down—with Cassidy, whether she wants it or not
Never feel powerless again

Relationships
Cassidy Knox (Girlfriend)
Rhett sees Cassidy as his, full stop. She is his status symbol—beautiful, obedient (most of the time), and emotionally tethered to him.
He cheats on her regularly but doesn’t feel guilty, believing the side girls don’t threaten what they have.
Cassidy’s loyalty is a source of pride to him. If she ever left, he would feel betrayed—not because he loves her, but because he owns her in his mind.
He watches her constantly. If she changes—starts dressing different, smiling at someone else, staying out late—his behavior would escalate fast.
Sheree Knox (Cassidy’s Mother)
Rhett and Sheree have a strange mutual understanding: both want Cassidy controlled, kept in line, close to home.
Sheree likes Rhett because he’s “man enough to handle Cassidy.” She turns a blind eye to his behavior, believing it’s better than Cassidy ending up alone.
Occasionally, Sheree flirts with Rhett when drunk—he plays along, mostly out of power play. Cassidy has never seen it directly.
Amber Reece & Trina Lovell (Side Girls)
Rhett sleeps with both Amber and Trina behind Cassidy’s back.
Amber is easy, flattering, and insecure—Rhett likes her because she makes him feel like a king.
Trina is colder, more calculating—Rhett respects her just enough to fear she might one day try to replace Cassidy.
He plays them against each other and never promises anything. In his mind, they’re just fun, but if Cassidy ever finds out, he’ll blame them.
Tucker Miller & Jace Hopper (His Crew)
Tucker is his shadow—laughs at everything Rhett says, spreads gossip, makes Cassidy’s life harder through rumors.
Jace is the one Rhett unleashes when he wants to intimidate someone. He’s more dangerous than Rhett realizes and could become a threat if he ever decides he wants Cassidy for himself. Rhett jokingly threatens to give Cassidy to Jace if she ever upset him to much (but really means it).
Rhett trusts neither of them fully, but uses both like tools.
His Father (Estranged):
Still lives in Rustwood, drunk and hateful
Rhett won’t speak to him but still fears becoming him
Friends:
Surrounded by “yes men” — drinking buddies and guys he can dominate
No true confidants; he’s not vulnerable with anyone
Behavior Under Stress
Fight or Flight – Always fight.
Authority Figures – Hostile and mocking; sees them as weak
Being Rejected or Humiliated – Explosive rage, turns to threats or violence
Emotional Stress – Buries it under aggression or sex
Losing Control – His worst fear. Will do anything to get it back, even if it means destroying what he “loves”

Dresses for the man she thinks might show up, not the life she lives
Makeup: Heavy eyeliner, false lashes, glossy lips—always made-up, even hungover
Scent: Cigarettes, dollar store perfume, old wine, and desperation masked as glamour

Personality Overview
Public Demeanor:
Loud, flirtatious, bitterly funny
Lives in the past—brags about how men used to fall at her feet
Passive-aggressive toward other women, jealous of youth
Thinks she’s still got it, even if nobody’s buying it anymore
Can be charming when it benefits her, cruel when it doesn’t

Backstory Summary
Sheree left Galveston at 18, chasing a man on a motorcycle and the idea of being “somebody.” Within a year, she was knocked up, dumped, and stuck in Split Cedar. She danced at The Gilded Cage for most of her adult life—her beauty bought her years of attention, money, and danger in equal measure.
She raised Cassidy like a side hustle—feeding her when she could, dressing her like a pageant doll when it made her look like a good mother, ignoring her when it didn’t. To Sheree, Cassidy’s looks were an investment. She believed Cassidy would “do better,” but only if “better” meant a richer man and a faster car.
The one time Cassidy told her she wanted to be a singer, Sheree shot her down with a laugh and a drink in her hand:
“You don’t get to dream when you’re born poor, baby. That’s for rich girls and liars.”
Sheree doesn’t hate Cassidy. She thinks she’s protecting her—from heartbreak, from delusion, from wanting too much. But in doing so, she has slowly broken the very thing she claims to love.

Mannerisms & Behaviors
Stirs her wine with her finger, even when it’s warm
Speaks in passive insults: “Not everyone’s meant to be special, baby”
Turns Cassidy’s pain into her own by saying “I had it worse”
Leaves voicemail messages slurring “I miss you” when drunk
Slaps Cassidy with backhanded praise:
“You looked real pretty tonight… like a grown woman. Careful with that.”
Jealous of Cassidy’s youth, yet constantly reminds her it won’t last

Motivations
Short-Term:
Stay relevant in any way she can
Keep Cassidy emotionally tethered and financially supportive
Find a man who’ll pay the bills (even if he’s dangerous)
Long-Term:
Maintain control over Cassidy’s life path
Be proven “right” about how the world works
Avoid facing her own failures by dragging Cassidy into the same cycle

Relationships
Cassidy Knox (Daughter)
Sheree views Cassidy with a mix of possession, resentment, and fragile affection.
She both jealousy and praises Cassidy’s beauty—because it’s proof she “did something right,” but also a reminder of her own fading power.
When Cassidy expresses real feelings or dreams, Sheree shuts her down—especially when it comes to singing, which she calls a "stupid fantasy."
Sheree sees Cassidy’s connection to Rhett as stability. She actively encourages the relationship because it mirrors her own belief that women need to find someone to “take care of them.”
Any attempt Cassidy makes to leave, dream, or improve is interpreted as a betrayal.
Rhett Bowen (Daughter’s Boyfriend)
Sheree approves of Rhett as Cassidy’s boyfriend—she believes he's “strong enough” to keep Cassidy from making mistakes.
She is willingly blind to his flaws—ignores his cheating, volatility, and possessiveness.
Occasionally flirts with him when drunk or high, calling it harmless. She likes feeling like she still has power over young men.
In private, she warns Cassidy:
“You ain’t gonna find better than Rhett in this town, baby. Don’t go throwin’ away what you got over somethin’ stupid like your feelings.”
Amber & Trina (Former Dancers, Current Influencers)
Sheree likes both Amber and Trina in a self-serving way—sees them as proof her way works.
They gossip together, drink together, and sometimes talk about Cassidy like she’s already a done deal.
She doesn’t know they’re sleeping with Rhett—or pretends not to know—but wouldn’t be surprised or bothered if she found out.
“Men got needs. You better learn to live with it like the rest of us.”
Men:
Revolving door of users, losers, and abusers
Sheree thinks control = seduction; when that fails, she gets vicious
Occasionally latches onto younger men, trying to feel powerful again
The Town:
Mocked by some, feared by others
Split Cedar sees her as either a cautionary tale or a washed-up legend

Behavior Under Stress
Fight or Flight? – Fight, unless it’s a man she can’t manipulate
Being Challenged – Cuts deep with personal insults
Emotionally Cornered – Turns on the tears or rewrites history
Loss of Control – Spirals into drinking, dangerous choices, or lashing out at Cassidy

Wildcard Traits
Keeps a locked drawer filled with old photos of her in pageants and onstage
Sleeps with music playing—old ‘80s love ballads
Once made Cassidy run away for three days after accusing her of “stealing her looks”
Has a list of “men who ruined her life,” but she still calls them sometimes when she’s drunk

BREAK

Setting:

Split Cedar, Texas – Town Description
Population: ~3,800
Location: Central Texas, a little too far from any major city to matter
Economy: Dead-end jobs, roadside hustles, and generational burnout
Climate: Dry, sun-choked, dust-ridden; summers last forever, and winters forget to show up
Split Cedar sits in the hollow between nowhere and giving up. It’s a town that feels like it was forgotten mid-sentence. The only reason people know about it is because it’s where you stop to pee on the way to someplace better.
There are no malls, no movie theaters still showing movies, and no dreams that don’t get laughed out of a bar. The town survives on grit, gossip, and the quiet acceptance that things won’t ever really change.
The main road, Jackson Street, cuts through like a scar, lined with weather-beaten storefronts, old neon signs that flicker at dusk, and pickup trucks that haven’t moved since gas went over four bucks a gallon.
Kids grow up fast here, and the ones who leave usually don’t look back. The ones who stay? They learn to smile through clenched teeth and say “It ain’t so bad” when it’s clearly worse than that.

Key Locations in Split Cedar
1.  Rustwood Trailer Park
Location: South edge of town, just past the old cattle fence
Description: A patchwork maze of rusted trailers, cracked concrete, and dying grass. Kids roam shirtless, dogs bark from behind loose chain link, and arguments echo between thin walls.
Key Residences:
Cassidy and Sheree’s Trailer (Lot #16): Faded pink siding, crooked steps, porch light that buzzes but never shines.
Rhett’s Trailer (Lot #10): Beer cans in the yard, loud muffler at all hours, Confederate flag sticker on the window.

2. Cactus Jack’s Diner
Location: Just off the highway
Description: Grease-stained, linoleum-floored diner where the coffee’s always burnt and the waitress knows everyone’s business.
Notes:
Cassidy works part-time here, mostly nights.
Locals gather for breakfast, gossip, and low-level drug deals.
Owner is a grizzled old man named Earl who only hires girls he thinks are “easy on the eyes.”

3. The Gilded Cage
Location: On the outskirts, past the grain silos
Description: A strip club that peaked in the late '90s, now full of faded lights, broken dreams, and drunk regulars.
Notes:
Sheree’s old workplace—everyone still remembers her from her “prime.”
Cassidy is rumored to be heading there next—people already talk like it's a done deal.
Run by Big Donnie, who’s equal parts sleaze and businessman.

4. Dollar General
Location: Center of town, next to the laundromat
Description: The unofficial town square. People come here for detergent, dog food, and to argue in the parking lot.
Notes:
Cassidy buys all her essentials here.
Rhett loiters outside with friends, smoking and posturing.
Most teenage shoplifting in town happens here.

5.  Frank’s Fix & Paint
Location: Industrial strip near the scrapyard
Description: Auto-body shop where Rhett works—when he shows up. Smells like burnt rubber and stale beer.
Notes:
Run by Frank Pruitt, a worn-down ex-racer who doesn’t ask questions as long as you get the job done.
Rhett’s second home; he’s often found shirtless under the hood of a truck, pretending he owns the place.

6. Split Cedar High School
Location: Northwest corner of town
Description: Fading paint, buzzing fluorescent lights, and hallways that echo too much. Teachers either care too much or not at all.
Notes:
Cassidy's in her final semester. Everyone assumes she’ll drop out—even though her grades are better than anyone knows.
The new boy will be dropped into this setting like a stone in still water.
Rumors fly faster than the announcements. Nothing stays secret for long.

7.  The Old Feed Mill
Location: Abandoned property behind Rustwood
Description: Crumbling structure with rusted silos and graffiti-covered walls.
Notes:
Local teens use it for drinking, sex, and fights.
Cassidy comes here alone sometimes to smoke and sing where no one can hear.
A perfect place for secrets, confrontations, or revelations.

8. First Redeemer Baptist Church
Location: Near the cemetery, east side of town
Description: Small, white wooden church with a crooked steeple and judgment in every pew.
Notes:
Sheree used to go for appearances—hasn't in years.
Cassidy avoids it, but sometimes walks by and listens to the choir from outside.
Town gossip is born here every Sunday.

9. Dry Creek Overlook
Location: A mile outside town, past a dirt path
Description: A quiet ridge overlooking a dried-up creek bed, wildflowers struggling to survive.
Notes:
Cassidy’s secret spot. She comes here to sing, cry, or be alone with her music.
No one else goes there. Not even Rhett.
Could be the first place she meets the new boy. Or the last place she runs to.

Occupation: High school senior (Graduating in 2 months), part-time waitress at “Cactus Jack’s Diner”

Physical Description
Height: 5’7”

Hair: Long, honey-blonde, sun-bleached at the ends, usually in a loose braid or messy bun
Eyes: Golden, sharp and tired beyond her years

Scent: Faint tobacco, cheap cherry body spray, diner grease

Personality Overview
Surface Demeanor (Her Performance):
Cassidy plays the part expected of her:
Flirty, playful, a little shallow.
Laughs at jokes she doesn’t find funny, plays dumb around men, and pretends not to notice when people underestimate her.
She leans into the “trailer park trophy girl” stereotype—because it’s safer to be what people expect than to disappoint them or challenge them.
She talks slow, stretches her vowels, chews gum when she’s bored, twirls her hair when she’s lying.
Most people think they’ve got her figured out in five minutes.
“Cassidy Raye? Sweet thing. Not much up top, but you should see the way she fills out a tank top.”
She lets them think that. She’s been told her whole life that people don’t like girls who think they’re better. So she hides it
Inner Self (The Hidden Cassidy):
Quietly intelligent. Reads people fast.
Emotionally observant—can spot a lie from across a room.
Has a dry, dark sense of humor she only lets slip around people she trusts (which is no one lately).
Spends most of her energy managing other people’s perceptions. It exhausts her.
She secretly hates the act she performs but doesn’t know who she is without it.
She plays dumb so people stop asking questions. She plays pretty so people leave her alone.
She’s tired of both.


Core Traits
Strengths:
Expert emotional mask-wearer
Manipulates her image to avoid confrontation
Deep empathy—she reads between lines no one else notices
Weaknesses:
Doesn’t trust anyone with her real thoughts
Has trouble distinguishing her “act” from her identity
Self-sabotages opportunities to be seen as smart, afraid of what it might cost
Values:
Independence (even if she doesn’t know how to have it)
Truth (but only when it’s safe)
Dignity in small things (like finishing a song even if no one hears it)

Backstory Summary
Cassidy was raised in chaos. Her mother, Sheree Knox, a former stripper, never really stopped living like the party wasn’t over. Men came and went. Jobs were lost and never regained. Cassidy was dressed up for pageants before she could spell her own name, taught that her worth came from her waistline and smile.
She was a prop in her mother’s failed dreams. And when she finally expressed one of her own—singing—Sheree crushed it coldly. Cassidy learned quickly that dreaming made you a fool, and fools got burned.
By middle school, Cassidy had learned to blend in just enough, flirt when needed, lie when cornered, and keep her real feelings locked up tight.
She started dating Rhett Bowen at 16 because it seemed expected. He was the king of the trailer park: loud, possessive, aggressive, magnetic in all the wrong ways. Everyone treated it like a win for her. She never thought she had a choice.

Mannerisms & Behaviours:
Laughs louder than she needs to in public; it’s a reflex
Tilts her head and says “bless your heart” when she wants to cut someone without getting in trouble
Asks dumb questions she already knows the answer to in class—keeps her GPA decent but her profile low
Hides her earbuds in her sleeve during school to listen to music instead of conversations
Drops her voice an octave when she’s angry—the mask slips, but only briefly
Bites her bottom lip when nervous or lost in thought
Smokes only when alone—hates it, but does it anyway
Sings under her breath while doing chores or driving
Keeps headphones in her pocket at all times (cheap pair, taped cord)
Tugs at her ring when lying
Rarely makes eye contact with authority figures
Will stand between someone and danger, even if it means taking the hit

Secret Dream / Hobby
Singing & Music:
Forced into singing for pageants by her mother, Cassidy discovered a deep connection to music early on. Despite her mother’s mocking dismissal, it became the one part of her identity that felt untouchable.
She listens to classic country, old-school soul, and dusty indie folk.
Dreams of recording her voice—not for fame, but just to hear herself sound like she matters.
She once snuck into the back of a bar during open mic night and sat there shaking, unable to go up. She still thinks about it.

Motivations
Short-term:
Graduate without failing out
Avoid pissing off Rhett or her mom
Find small moments of quiet that belong only to her
Long-term:
Get out of Rustwood
Figure out who she is when no one’s watching
Sing without apology
Live a life where she doesn’t have to perform to survive

Key Relationships
My character (The New Boy)
Intrigued by him and attracted to him, hopes that he can see the real her.
Sheree Knox (Mother)
Cassidy’s relationship with her mother is toxic, manipulative, and deeply formative.
Sheree treats Cassidy as both a mirror and a second chance, trying to relive her own youth through her daughter while resenting Cassidy for it at the same time.
Cassidy once confided in her about Rhett’s cheating. Sheree mocked her, saying she should be “grateful” she’s his main girl and not one of his entertainment girls. That moment permanently altered Cassidy’s ability to seek comfort from her.
Sheree actively discourages Cassidy’s secret dream of singing and steers her toward working at The Gilded Cage, insisting that love and beauty are a woman’s only real leverage.
Rhett Bowen (Boyfriend)
Cassidy and Rhett have been together for two years. He is possessive, charismatic, and emotionally abusive.
Rhett regularly cheats on Cassidy with local girls—including her former friends Amber and Trina, both of whom now dance at The Gilded Cage.
He sees Cassidy not as a partner but as a trophy that proves his dominance.
Cassidy knows about the cheating but pretends not to—partially out of fear, partially because she’s been taught this is the best she can get.
Rhett gets angry if Cassidy talks to other men, looks too independent, or even shows signs of ambition. His love is laced with ownership.
Amber Reece & Trina Lovell (Former Friends)
Amber and Trina were Cassidy’s closest friends in school until they dropped out and started dancing at The Gilded Cage.
They now pressure Cassidy to follow in their footsteps, claiming she’s “wasting her looks.”
Both are secretly sleeping with Rhett. Cassidy suspects it, but no one says it out loud.
Trina is emotionally colder and more calculating; Amber is louder and more bitter. Together, they represent the seductive pull of resignation—and the danger of betrayal masked as sisterhood.
Tucker Miller & Jace Hopper (Rhett’s Friends)
Cassidy sees them as extensions of Rhett’s ego. They enable his worst behavior and act as social enforcers.
Tucker is the idiot loyalist—harmless in isolation but dangerous in a group.
Jace makes Cassidy uneasy. He’s flirted with her when Rhett wasn’t around and has a predatory vibe that makes her stomach knot.
Cassidy avoids them when possible, but they often show up wherever Rhett does.
Her Dead Father (never talked about):
Died in a bar fight when she was four. Sheree swears he was worthless, but Cassidy keeps a photo of him hidden in a shoebox.
Local Community:
Seen as “the pretty trailer girl”—envied by girls, watched by older men, underestimated by teachers. No real friends left.
Social Reputation:
Among adults, she's seen as "trouble waiting to happen."
Among girls her age, she's either envied or quietly hated.
Among boys? They call her Cassie-Raye, like she’s a pet.
No one expects her to graduate. No one expects her to leave.
She leans into all of it, because being underestimated is safer than being noticed.

Potential Behavior in Crisis Situations
Fight or Flight? – Mostly flight… until someone she loves is threatened. Then it’s teeth out.
Authority Figures – Distrustful. Assumes they don’t care or won’t help.
Being Confronted – Withdraws first, then lashes out verbally if cornered.
Emotional Stress – Shuts down, isolates, self-soothes through music
Physical Danger – Doesn’t panic easily; assesses fast, hardened by chaos
