about

april selesky is a really open and outgoing type of person. loves to pick everything that peaks her interest even in the slightest bit as a hobby and holds onto all of those things with a healthy routine. no matter what she does and where she is, she's still able to relax and clear her mind just fine; the main exception might be her job at berkton zoo sometimes, but it's mostly due to the customer service incidents that might feel even cruel at times. she likes to solve all of the conflicts and misunderstandings with a calm conversation, but if there's no space for that and fight responses kick in - then she fires back with the same attitude, even though it drains her mood and energy a whole lot for the rest of the day and night. she's known as that one employee always seen in butterfly enclosure room that has a really charming and kind attitude not only towards children, generally all the visitors but also to the most delicate and vulnerable animals [that she loves to take care of daily]. she's a so-called "golden child" along with her co-worker, dante nex, if it comes to strict fighting for animal rights. even though the zoo on it's own is not an ethical environment in the first place, she still wants to make the animals' lifes in there more comfortable and bearable, as much as it's just possible.

she comes from a wealthy selesky family and she was born in berkton. used to live with her parents and older brother in S2 specifically. she never had too much friends but she indeed had a circle of very few but the closest people that she got to know even back in kindergarten or at the start of elementary school. she had a kick to always help out in house chores and by that she always wanted to help her family out in cooking the most, to the point it was her most favourite thing to do everyday. the fatal change of pace in her life came on 15th august 2012, where she was hanging out with dante and some other friends for the first half of the day, and then came back to her house only to witness all of it being covered in flames. she got to know the cause of this accident immediately from people that needed to take care of her right away at that very moment: the cause was a gas leak explosion from the gas kitchen stove that they had. thankfully people took care of her wellbeing really seriously and she ended up being quickly put in forrey family. since they live in new yxrk, it immediately meant that april needs to move out from her hometown. everything happenned so fast and it led to april's mental health crashing down all at once, but her new family not only let her let all the grief out as much as she needs while giving her full support and new family warmth, but she also immediately got proffessional help as well. her healing process was and still is extremely painful but large in improvement throughout entire 9 years so far. she always went along with it, because she knew it's all for her good to at least try and function on her own all over again.

her living in forrey family turned into the same model and connections that she had and felt in selesky family. she remained as helpful in house stuff as she always was since being a tiny child. april moved out not so long ago back to berkton because she felt like she's finally ready to try and live on her own, along with having a deep-rooted need to come back there for her own good. she keeps up the contact with her foster family really regularly, but at the same time she visits her biological family's graves, once per week at the very least.

she still has many moments of weakness and grief, the survivor's guilt often becomes unbearable at the most unexpected moments, but she wants to keep on moving on and she lets herself let it out whenever she feels like its really needed.
