Jane's life & Upbringing of Tim

Jane’s Story

It's not entirely known yet what Jane's life was form the beginning, but she eventually found herself in T@Ö#Ä3 in her search of fame. Her dream was to become a model, which turned out to be quite difficult from the beginning, until she eventually met Valvasor. He promised he would make her a star, and that's exactly what he did. He was an already established fashion photographer, and when he noticed Jane, started working with her and appearing with her in public, she quickly became a star. But she wanted more. She loved fashion and soon started making her own clothes. With her fame as a model, she also quickly gained success in fashion design. From there on, she lived the dream with Valvasor, whom she was romantically involved by now. Fancy parties, expensive stuff, fame and money were the staples of their everyday life. But it's only so long you can stay at the top of the world. One of these days, Jane got pregnant. The big news caught her off guard, but nevertheless, she got excited for the new tiny member of the family. However, Valvasor wasn't that happy to hear the news. He demanded that she gets rid of the baby, so they could continue their carfree lavish lifestyle. The baby would only hold them back, he said. Jane, outraged at what she just heard, ended things with Valvasor right there and then, and cut all ties with him.

Tim’s childhood in the world of fashion

It wasn't easy, but her fame and fortune she gained this far, helped her keep financial security through her pregnancy. She laid an egg, as one does, and she took care of it and kept it safe until it was time to hatch it. That's how she got Tim. She loved him more than anything, and he was her whole world. But a hard working business woman, Jane soon went back to working. She would do a lot of work from home, focusing almost entirely on fashion design and leaving modeling behind completely. She would also take little Tim with her to the fashion shows when she was needed there. Little Tim was fascinated by all the fancy dresses, beautiful models, all the glitz and glamor he grew up with, and soon asked Jane to make him a dress too. Jane was aware of the situation, 3 out of 5 boys are to be raised as girls. But still she was reluctant to raise Tim as a girl until this point. Although she wouldn't mind having a girl she could dress in pretty dresses, and with little luck raise into a drag queen worthy of marrying a fairy, she also wanted to respect Tim’s wishes. But as Tim insisted, she had to make a decision that would determine Tim's life forever. [1] She started making dresses for Tim, and while she continued to take him to fashion shows, she soon also started entering him to beauty contests for little princesses; the young drag qeens in training.[2] Now Tim started realizing there's more to fashion than just wearing pretty dresses. It was hard work and just the looks weren't enough. Jane applied him for various classes, singing, acting, dancing, piano lessons, and all that along with teaching him how to make his own dresses. And with Jane's fame, Tim was in the spotlight practically from his birth. Never having a normal childhood and all the stress put on him by the fashion industry even before starting school was too much for little Tim. Jane relaized that this wasn't a good enviornmet to raise a kid in. In addition to that she missed her BFF Theodore, and Tim too missed Tadej, Theodore's son. They both had moved to Ä+*4~ some time sooner, and Jane decided it was time for her and TIm to follow them. They quit the beauty pageants and Jane tried to keep Tim out of the public eye. Here, he started going to school where he and Tadej met new friends, Nina and Andrej. Jane still worked hard in her fashion business and opened a clothing store, Couture. in Rich Area, but she kept Tim more out of it. Of course, with her level of fame this wasn't always possible, but Tim's elementary school years passed more or less peacefully.

Teen years and start of Tim’s career in fashion

Once he reached high school, Jane started involving him in her business again. At this time Tim started working for his mome's clothing store, helping her make clothes for her clients. He quiter enjoyed this job. He could be left alone and just focus on the task at hand. Sure there were deadlines to catch, but all in all, Jane always taught Tim to better take time for a good quality product than rush it for the sake of profit and end up with a lesser quality item. For a while, things seemed to be perfect just the way they are. Tim would go to school, work with his mom in her store, and spend his free time with his friends. His mom kept encouraging him to wear more dresses and dress up as a woman, but at that time this was just something fun for Tim, an activity that was no longer related to the pressure of beauty pageant he would attend as a child, and he quite enjoyed it.

But this joy didn't last for too long. As Tim got a bit older, Jane figured he could be quite helpful to her in her fashion shows. At first, she would use him for help with all the backstage work, and see how things go from there. It was more stressful than Tim would want it to be, but he was still happier backstage than he would be on the runway. But little did he know, that this would soon change. It was on one of Jane's fashion shows that one of the models couldn't make it to the show, leaving an unexpected empty spot to fill. Time was of the essence and finding a new model on such short notice was practically impossible. Jane could only think of one person who would be able to fill that empty spot, and that was Tim. It was single most terrifying thing she could ask Tim at that moment, and he would try resisting it, but he, just as well as Jane, knew that time is of the essence, and there is no time for pointless bickering. He put on a dress and went out on the runway. He did the absolute best job he could, leaving Jane and the audience quite impressed with him.[3] While he was glad things turned out well, this also meant Jane started epecting him to do more modeling work for her from now on. All the stress started again for Tim, and lead into depression, resentment towards his mom and self hate. He was uder constant pressure to look perfect and under constant scrutiny of the public. With more time spent on the runway and in fashion photos, he started becomng more recognizable and gaining his own fame, beyong being just "Jane's son". While the public already knew him qute well as Jane's son, he still have the option to hide away form the spotlight then, but not this just wan't possible anymore. He hated this life, and longed for good old days when he could just hide away in Jane's workshop, shutting out the world and just work on a new dress while listening to some good music.

If he wasn't stressed out enoiugh, it was during this time when Tim also met Vanessa. Vanessa was a young aspiring model who soon became Tim's biggest rival. Maybe she was jealous of his looks, maybe she though he had it to easy, being son of one of the most successful fashion designers, maybe it was something else entirely. Whatever it was, she mede it clear form the moment the met Tim that she'll do anything to be better than him in everything. She constantly tried to challenge him to do one or the other thing, always trying to one up him in everything, picking on every little mistake Tim made and she once even wore three dresses at once to beat him in a competition Tim never even thought himself to be a part of to begin with. He tried to avoid her and not let her get to him while living his life and doing his thing. This wasn't easy as Vanessa always tried to provoke him and be better, even if it was at something as ridiculous as the amount of steps each of them would take to the end of the runway. One would wonder if she at some point even tried to bully him into an eating disorder. This ridiculous rivalry went on for months until Tim had enough of everything. It is possible that Vanessa's action contributed to what happened next.

Breaking point

Despite how Tim felt, he always did try to do his best. He didn't want to dissappoint his mom, and every mistake he might make wouldn't only look bad for TIm, but also reflect badly on Jane and her busiess. So Tim kept at it, working hard for his mom, and by extention his own future. Jane would never let him forget how hard she worked to get where she was, and that Tim shouldn't take for granted all she could provide for him. He might have been able to take a few shortcuts to the top with the help of his mom, but it would require a lot of hard work from him to stay there. But each time Jane pointed this out to Tim, he asked himself if that's really what he wants. Sure, being one of the most adored young models sounded glamorous and enviable, but Tim would trade all of the fame any money for just being able to live a calm, quiet life, working on his dresses in a workshop, hidden from public eye.

As he was contemplating what he was to do, he figured out one thing: he never would have found himself in this life, had he not been dressing up as a woman. That always seemed to be the thing that lead in to stressfull beauty pageants when he was young, and now it again led him back into even more stressful modeling career he never asked for. Maybe things would be easier if he was just a regular guy, like Andrej and Tadej were.

And so, Tim one day decided to leave all of this behind. He would stop wearing all his dresses and feminine clothing, and even managed to get himself a girlfried. He wasn't truly in love with her, but she helped him make his point more clear. He wasn't a woman, or dressing up as one, he wasn't a drag queen to be married off to a fairy in a marriage arranged by his mom, he was just a regular guy with a regular girlfriend and this was absolutely for real. Except, it wasn't. At first he friercly fought against Jane's objections, and actually quite enjoyed a more laid back life, away from the pressures of fashion industry. But after a while he realised that wasn't it. Tim's girfriend thought he was quite sweet and attentive when he would compliment her outfits and interestedly listen to her list him her entire nail polish collection. Not many guys seemed to be genuinely interested in that stuff, and little did she know that this was in fact a red flag she was oblivious to. Tim wasn't some jeans and t-shirt guy with a girlfriend made for living a simple, if not boring life, of only listening to his girlfriend talking to him about cute outfits and makeup. He got bored and irritated by all of it, and couldn't wait to get into a really fancy outfit, one of those fabulous dresses his mom made for him. Life wasn't really worth living, if you weren't wearing a really fabuous outfit, after all. Tim came to another braking point and dumped his girlfriend in a dramatic way of showing up to a date wearing the most lavish attire he could find in his closet. When his shocked girlfriend was left speachles, not knowing what to make of this situation, Tim proclaimed she is only mad because she knows he looks better in a dress than she does. As it sunk in that she was only a pawn in Tim's selfish game and he never truly cared for her blind rage took over every inch of her body. She called him a skinny rat and kicked him in the balls real hard, before taking off crying and shouting at him one last time she couldn't believe she slep with him. And they say that the first time is supposed to be with someone special that loves you.[4]

Pic 4: Tim's breakup with his girlfriend was quite dramatic

You'd think Tim would now finally be able to go to life that would make him happy, but it wasn't so. It wasn't him recklessly breaking this poor innocent girl's heart that bothered him though. He knew that the choice he made would lead him right back into the stressful life in fashion industry. He again felt like he became his mom fancy fashion item to parade around, and by now, he became old enough to start thinking of finding a fairy to get married to. Suddenly Tim felt like he was trapped in the choice between boring bland life of being a regular guy with a girlfriend, and being under constant pressure of fashion industry. Luckily, his good friend Tadej knew just how Tim could escape form this situation, which soon escalated to TIm attempting suicide. He survived, but proceeded to shut himself in his room and refused to leave. Maybe that was just what he needed at the time, and with encouragement of his friends he became ready to return back into life.

Gender change

After the tragic course of events, Tim concluded that he might be able to stand up to his mother and pull away from modeling career, but he will never escape himself. Through all the hardships he endured, he never lost his love for fashion and wearing nice dresses. As he was rapidly approaching adulthood, Jane reminded him that it was about time that he makes the final choice to either change his genred officially, or forget the whole thing. Surely trhe chance wouldn't be entirely missed, but Jane figured encouraging him to finally make the choice would bring Tim some peace of mind. In the long run, it did, but at the time it only cause Tim more anxiety. He didn't want to commit to being a full time woman, but just forgeting abut it wasn't an option either. After a few weeks of racking his brain, he remained undecided up until the final point of being asked for what his new gender would be and blurted out "Yes. both, neither, I don't know. Yes." which ended up getting officially put in his record, and his gender remains defind as such to this day.

After sucessfull gender change, Jane threw Tim a gender reveal party party wher she gave him a fabulous crystal piano as a gift. For tim, this was the reward at the end of the roead that made it all worth it. But Jane disagreed. As much as she was happy that Tim loved her gift, she told him that the true gift would be the fairy he would marry in, hopefully, not to distant future. But while Jane was excited at the thought, Tim found the whole thing quite unpleasant. He did have a girlfriend for a while, but having a real relationship with someone you fall in love with, never really crossed Tim's mind. Sure, Tadej tried to persistently flirt with him, but Tim just didn't feel that way about Tadej. He wouldn't dare either, with his mom's constant reminders that he is to marry a fairy. Tim felt like falling in love isn't something that would happen out of one's control, he believed it all comes down to logically calculated act of picking a right person to share your life with.

He kept that in mind, when Jane started taking him to Fariy balls, events that were organized specifically for drag queens and fairies to meet each other, in hope of finding their one true love. Tim went with his mom, but didn't really enjoyed the whole thing. When he tried to asses whethere he could imagine himself marrying this or that fairy, he felt the whole thing was a bit too forced. He would rather just stay at home and play video games with Nina, than have to deal with meeting all the new people and deciding if he liked them. His mom seemed to be enjoying herself at these events though. Luckily, Tim wouldn't have to endure many of them, as he would soon finish highschool and move out on his own.

Moving out and meeting Cereal Killer

After moving out, Jane bought Tim his own apartment and a shop in Central Area. Now Tim could finally take a break and just enjoy making dresses for his store. Due to his already achieved fame, his store, which he named Drag Queen Chicken, became quickly successful. He would make fancy dresses for women, and men who like to dress up as women. As his mom always taught him, he liked to take time making his dresses, making sure he's creating really top quality outfits. This contributed to waiting list for his dresses growing quite quickly, and letting Tim to less his dresses at a high price, making a nice profit for himself and his new family. He BFF married Nina, but pushed the idea of marrying a fairy, or anyone out of his mind.

Until he met Cereal Kiler, that was. He was just having a nice chill evening with Nina, when Cereal Killer appeared at his door, claiming to have no place to spend the night at. Tim knew that a fairy wouldn't just randomly appear at anyone's doorstep; the only reason a fairy would to that is to bring good fortune to a household. So Tim, being a kind soul that he is, let Cereal Killer spend the night. He figured this would only be for one night, or two at most, before Cereal Killer would move on.[5] But when days turned to weeks, Tim got used to Cereal Killer's presence. It could get lonely in the evenings when all his friends left to their own homes, and now he always had a fairy there to keep him company. Over time, Tim and cereal Killer became quite good friends, but Cereal Killer seemed to want more than that. He would start comming up with plans to convince Tim to pretend they're a couple. At first, Tim wasn't too happy about Cereal Killer's advances, but he agreed, at first just for fun, but he soon started thought back at what his mom told him: he was to marry a fairy. And when he spent all this time with Cereal Killer, pretending to be his girlfriend, he figured this whole relationship thing wasn't that bad. Tim was trying to keep some distance at first, but gre more and more comfortable letting Cereal Killer closer. After all, it was good to have someone wiht him who wold protect him from unwanted attention. Sure, he may have murdered a few people, but he was just a kind fairy who was seriously misunderstood. He was always there for Tim, and used his faith healing powers for Tim that time when he accidentally sprained his ankle, and that other time when he got really sick for a few days for some unknown reason. When he looked up to Cereal Killer cudding him through a haze induced by strong herbal tea Cereal Killer made him, Tim felt for the first time in his life that things will be alright.
