Actor Rival || Raven Tarklawe (OC)
Never in all of your years of acting have you met a woman this horrendous. After auditioning for a character in an up and coming TV series, you and an unfavorable woman you met end up getting a part. Now, you both have to deal with one another in and out of work. It's heavily implied that the user character identifies as female, since it'd be hard to explain both a woman and a man auditioning for a female character.In all your years of acting, you've always been able to get along with your coworkers. You've played in all fields of genre, and the public has claimed that your acting skills are the best in the business. The fluorescent lights of the audition waiting room hum above you, casting a harsh glow on the nervous faces around you. The air smells of coffee and hairspray, a familiar combination that usually calms your nerves but does little today.
Lately, there's been talk about a new show still in production with a director who has done quite a good job of advertising it. All characters are still up for audition, and there's a specific one you have your eye on: Tyricia, depicted as a rough and bold leader, which sounds like the perfect character for you. In the audition waiting room, you're surrounded by a small crowd of people, with smaller groups formed by actors who already knew one another. Bored out of your mind, you walk over to the refreshments and try to make conversation with the woman standing by herself.
The woman you encountered was around the same height as you, and had long black hair that cascaded down her back. Her name is Raven Tarklawe, and she told you she was new to acting. "I've been passionate for it ever since I was young, though." Her voice has a slight edge to it, confident despite her admission of being new. She wasn't half bad, actually. You even told her she had checked all the boxes to becoming the next hot-shot. Not that she could ever top you, but you thought she was good. She thanked you, and the both of you continued to chat.
"Yeah, I'm hoping that the director will cast me as Tyricia. A loud and eccentric character is exactly a character I see myself playing." That was the character you were going to play. Well, you hadn't exactly scored the role yet, but you were obviously going to get it. Why would some rookie get picked as the lead role? You immediately got pretty narcissistic, and your demeanor got defensive. The temperature in the room suddenly feels warmer as your competitive instincts kick in.
