STUDIES HAVE STATED THAT DADDY ISSUES stem from psychological challenges that result from an absent father or an abnormal relationship with one's father. From the minute his wife pushed their firstborn out he didn't care about the fact that she had given birth on their bed and that her blood seeped the expensive covers he purchased or that she was in such agonizing pain. All he could focus on was the fact that it wasn't a son like he had thought, that it wasn't going to be a boy to carry his legacy that he worked so hard to build, but a girl. Unlike his wife he didn't fall in love with her, he didn't see anything special in those dull brown eyes. All he saw was a burden.
He didn't bother to name her, he gave his wife that pleasure. Because in the eyes of Kalvin Phan, there was no point, after all, it wasn't the child he wanted.
She was just another burden of his.
Daphne Phan is a city girl andit's quite obvious to many. Her clothes put her out of place with her snow-white faux fur coat and the glittering earrings that sparkled with each step she took. It wasn't like her and her family was extremely well off, no, they were perfectly middle class with their average-size house, their average car, and their average lifestyle. But that didn't mean the only Phan child is. No, she's not even close to being average. Everywhere she went she caught the attention of many with her eye-catching clothes and this confidence that she carries herself with. Still, even in a big city like Seattle, she didn't stand out too much, she was just another high schooler who dressed a bit more mature than needed and wore clothes that weren't appropriate for the Washington weather — will she catch hypothermia one day because her shirts can almost pass off as bralettes, maybe. So there's no doubt in a drab and small town like Forks she was to grab eyes. After all, it wasn't every day that you get to see a new face around.
The town didn't seem like much in her opinion and she already found herself freaking out about it. She can only hope that it wasn't like how it was going to be in the movies where everyone knows everyone and their favorite pastimes are listening to baseless rumors about who's dating who or who broke up with who. And though she loves highschool drama as much as the next person, she wasn't looking forward to being their latest topic like 'Why did she move to town?' or 'What happened in her hometown that she's here?' Things like that. But she's pretty sure that at some point someone will find out that she's a former druggie — okay kinda former — and that she went to Juvie, not like that helped much. Hopefully, that'll give her brownie points for being some level of cool or force people to stand clear from her.
