Tw: stalking and obsession of a celebrity, alcoholism, death of a sibling (can, grief
Vance Malcolm Hinton (28) is a friend of Marissa and Alain and a former nurse at Trinity General and has Makenzie although he doesn’t know her that well. He left the job for good when his older sister Delaney died of cancer. He found that working in a hospital after Delaney spent so much time in the hospital was too hard on him mentally, so he quit and now works as an online customer service agent. He is still friends with Marissa and Alain but he doesn’t see them that often. He spends much of his time at home and doesn’t really want to leave his house much at all, besides to attend grief therapy once a week with Nauja Trig and Ramona Redholme.
He started attending group therapy and sees Nauja in private sessions as well. He talks with Liza Townhill because he understands what it’s like to lose a sibling. Vance is genuinely having a very hard time, and has ended up falling in “love” with actor Talia Lee and believes he’s going to marry her. He has become a bit obsessed with her. He knows everything there is to find online about her, and even has a sneaking suspicion that she’s hiding something. He doesn’t know what, but he feels like something is going on with her that he is worried about. He believes he loves her, and truly believes she communicates with him through signals on her movies and posts on her Instagram. He has a blog where he often talks about actor lore with Talia Lee and Ophelie Mercer. He really wants to meet Talia Lee, and the obsession has been growing recently to the point where he has been trying to research her address so he can visit her in person, firmly believing that she will be happy to see him.
Growing up, Vance did not have an easy life. His parents were extremely neglectful of him and his sister, who he quickly learned to rely on as his support. When Delaney died, he felt like something had been ripped out of his chest and squashed on. He had always been a fan of Talia Lee, but it wasn’t until Delaney’s death that he actively turned to delusion and obsession in order to cope. Vance’s parents did not even reach out to him when Delaney died, and didn’t even go to her funeral. It was just him, her husband and kids, and some of their extended family.
Vance has been drinking a lot more recently. That is typically when he starts to do his obsessive stalking of Talia Lee. His friends, such as Marissa and Alain, and even Liza, are worried about his drinking and tell him he needs to get help. They do not know about his desire to find Catalina’s address, yet. Though he does plan to tell them pretty soon, thinking they will be supportive, when in reality they will probably be horrified. The only person who knows of his obsession with Talia Lee is Delaney’s husband, as he is someone who understands how happy and wonderful Delaney was, even during her dying breath. Vance doesn’t care that Delaney’s husband tells him this is very unhealthy and that he should get more help, as he believes he will have his help when he marries Talia Lee.

I’m sorry this only briefly mentioned the previous character but I had finally finished mine and realized that there was another one but o still kinda wanted to post it because I liked it, lol. Sorry. I also hope this is okay and accurate because I usually don’t mention other characters at all so I’m a little nervous.
