1 : officially she was homeschooled, but in reality she didn’t get an education at all because her parents straight up couldn’t be bothered. this led to her being completely illiterate, and only able to do very basic maths
2 : she got recruited into a drug gang when she was a kid, and wasn’t able to get out again until she moved to Mallorca in her late teens (exact ages TK)

1 : her bio dad was in & out of prison when she was a kid, so she doesn't really know him. her stepdad, Elis Jones, officially adopted her when she was a teenager

faceclaim: Kiernan Shipka
1 : she was born to billionaire parents, and spent her early years being given everything she could ever want (and so much more besides). this made her into, quite honestly, a spoiled brat. everything had to be exactly the way she wanted it, when she wanted it, and woe betide if it wasn’t. if she wasn’t allowed something she wanted, she would throw the most almighty tantrums, which tended to end up in some form of property damage. this meant that she was almost always given her way, by her parents and by their staff (on her parents’ orders)
2 : about a month before her sixth birthday, her parents both died in a plane crash. Annie was left in the care of her aunt, Lola Rivier, who had absolutely no experience with kids. Lola treated Annie like an adult, expecting her to behave in an elegant, civilised fashion, like an heir to so many billions should behave. Annie soon learned that now, even the servants wouldn’t respond to her screaming and crying and breaking things — in fact, it usually ended up in a punishment of some kind. this, plus the fact that she was essentially having to raise herself, meant Annie matured and lost her spoiled nature. she remembered what she used to be like, realised what a nightmare she’d been, and made sure to develop herself into a kind and selfless person
3 : the Rivier name can be found attached to a lot of mainstream companies and things, including restaurants, clothing lines, cars — basically, if you can buy it, it’s more than likely that the Rivier name is attached to it in some way, be it through direct ownership, investments in the company, or something else like that
4 : on her eighteenth birthday, Annie inherited everything that had once belonged to her parents, and was named the head of the Rivier family & companies. she’ll almost never willingly tell people about this though, not even her closest friends, because she wants people to like her for her rather than for her money or status. if anyone makes the connection between her last name and the companies of the same name, she’ll just laugh it off as a coincidence and make some jokes about how she wishes she had that kind of money

1 : they're autistic, with situational mutism
2 : they were raised by abusive parents, who took every opportunity to put them down and make them feel like there was something wrong with them. they often found themself turning to their aunt & uncle for support, and over time, Ruth & Lucas became more like parents to them than their actual parents
3 : as their autistic traits became more and more apparent, their aunt & uncle pushed their parents to try and get them a diagnosis. but their parents refused, saying that Ash didn't need an excuse for their disobedience and brokenness — they needed to be fixed. after this, Ruth & Lucas took matters into their own hands as much as they could, and got Ash a trained autism service dog called Magma
