Synopsis: The growing relationship between a young recluse seamstress and a butcher.

Content Ratings: TV-14 / Rated R
Genre: Romance, Drama, and Gore.
Time and Settings: This is an alternate universe where modern and 60s technology, entertainment, and laws are intertwined. The setting is some small town in the south.

The Seamstress:
The Seamstress is a shy and meek young woman who doesn't seem to know the outside world all that well, she was sheltered most of her life due to her mother not wanting her innocent daughter out there in the world, so every day her mother would tell her all the harsh things she experienced from beyond the yard of their little house.
The Seamstress has common sense and she is book smart, she knows when things get bad she needs to find a way out, and not try to resolve the issue, she can tell when something is going wrong, she needs to back away and not get involved.

The Seamstress makes most of her clothing and her shoes, her style is feminine largely dresses, skirts, and shorts due to the fact that she lives in the 60s and it was appropriate for women to be feminine. She wears pastels and muted colors with different prints. Her shoes are appropriate for the time wearing Mary Janes, Oxfords, or tennis shoes.

Actresses that I would like to see play the Seamstress are Anjelika Washington or Dominique Fishback

Songs that can match with the character personality: Didn't Cha Know by Erykah Badu, Laughing on the Outside, by Bernadette Carroll, Introverted by Elita, Pretty Girl by Clairo, and Falling for U (mxmtoon) by Peachy!
The Seamstress's fashion can be categorized into 3 aesthetics which are Cottagecore, Princesscore, and Fairy Academia.

The Butcher:
The Butcher is an easy-going young man, who thinks the best out of everything and all he wants is for everyone to be happy. He is not all that smart but it doesn't bother him. He knows his job and his looks make people scared of him but that doesn't stop him from being the nicest person in the whole town. He is a himbo.

There are no actors that I can think that can play the Butcher but I want the actor to be POC.

Songs that can match with the character personality: After The Storm by Kali Uchis feat Tyler, the Creator and Bootsy Collins, Rock With You by Michael Jackson, and American Idiot by Green Day.

The Butcher's fashion can be categorized into 3 aesthetics which are Goblincore, Cottagecore, and Adventurecore.

The Seamstress and The Butcher:
The relationship between these is a healthy and loving relationship, they were awkwardly shy around each other at first then they soon grew comfortable with each other after having a talk about how they want their relationship to go. They first met after the death of the Seamstress's mother, when the Seamstress left her house for the first time in 13 years to go and buy groceries.
