Ryan Turner

Ryan Elizabeth Turner (born May 21) is a protagonist of It's Probably Fine. She is an Australian-born citizen of the United States, born to Elizabeth and Thomas Turner.

Ryan has a great amount of knowledge about animals, and she loves reciting animal trivia.

After moving to Los Angeles, Ryan became a prominent member of the biker gang The Beast in the Hills.

## Early Life

Thomas Turner and Elizabeth Broadmoor met doing community missions work through a Catholic church project. Elizabeth's church in Australia and Thomas's church in New Zealand were sister churches, and joined together for a week of community outreach. This undertaking included renovating Thomas's church, hosting a barbecue, a car wash, feeding the homeless, and proselytizing door-to-door. The pair met via this outreach project and began dating long-distance until Thomas moved to Australia and married Elizabeth. A year into their married, the couple had Donovan Turner, then Ryan Turner three years later.

Ryan grew up on her family's farm outside of Perth, Western Australia. She and Donovan got on very well, and rarely fought. As media was hard to come by on the farm, the children spent the majority of their time outdoors, using their imaginations. They were raised Catholic, but the distance from town made the drive to church a chore, and, as time went on, the family attended less and less, leaving the children inadvertently distance from the faith.

Ryan attended school, rarely seeing her brother on campus when they attended at the same places. Taking after her mother's athleticism, Ryan undertook many sports and active hobbies. As a result, she was well-liked and very accomplished in sports, holding several school records. Not known to spend money on much else, the family poured their farm revenue into the children's' hobbies. Ryan most enjoyed diving, rock-climbing, and yoga (which her mother taught).

Ryan began an unpaid internship at a local zoo at age fourteen, jump-starting her love of animals. She started collecting magazines and books about animals, and she would retain much of the information therein. She was a good student, encouraged by her parents to do her best in all things.

When Ryan was sixteen, her brother decided to travel the world.

Thomas, an accountant, was offered a position in Los Angeles. After much consideration over leaving home and how it might affect Ryan and potentially Donovan when he returned, the family decided Thomas should take the offer.

## Los Angeles

The Turners moved into a decent home in Los Angeles, given a small sum by Thomas's company.

Having graduated from her high school in Australia, Ryan wanted to attend UCLA immediately upon her arrival in Los Angeles. This was with the idea that new friends and keeping busy with school would distract Ryan from the culture shock of leaving her rural life.

Ryan made fast friends at university. One of them told Ryan about a bar where the bouncer will let them in, despite being under the legal drinking age in the U.S. Ryan agreed, wanting to fit in, and was taken to The 8 Ball, a dive bar in the mountains outside of the city.

Here, she met Clay Bentley, a member of The Beast in the Hills, a local biker gang. He had been tasked with recruiting a new member, to prove his usefulness, after an unsuccessful career with the gang so far. Ryan was interviewed by the gang's leader Gage. When asked the angriest she had ever been, she revealed that she had been molested by a classmate in high school, just two years prior. She wanted to kill him, she confessed, but he turned up drowned soon after, which she assumed was the result of his guilt.

Ryan quickly moves up the ranks in the gang, surpassing Clay and long-time member Andrew Baxter. As she seeks approval from the gang's leader, Ryan grows distance from her new friends, her schooling, and even her parents. Ryan grows increasingly brazen and corrupt with power, pushing the boundaries of her morality, even up to a point where she proves she's comfortable with taking a life.

She is tasked with testing Andrew's loyalty, which ends with learning of Andrew's attempt to leave the gang, a forbidden undertaking. Punishment for abandoning the gang is death, and Ryan aims to punish Andrew. Believing death isn't a good enough punishment for someone who has betrayed their family, Ryan kidnaps Andrew's girlfriend Veronica and attempts to kill her before escaping.

Over time, Ryan punishes her appointed crew more and more fiercely, resulting in their murder at her hands or them fleeing the state. She realizes her group is reduced down to only her and Clay. Knowing the gang leader would not approve, Ryan has a breakdown, during which her brother Donovan returns home.

Unable to face her parents with the realization of what she's become, she confesses her sins to her brother. He comforts her and asks to take her somewhere private to catch up, without Clay. Once alone with Ryan, Donovan reveals he's joined a gang while abroad, and they have been tasked with gaining footing in Los Angeles. He intends to use to accomplish this, but she refuses, saying she has betrayed her real family as well as her new family enough already. He insists that he, too, is her family, and she would be ruining him if she didn't help. She refuses, and Donovan uses her as collateral for information from Clay.

Clay must decide whether he will betray Ryan and give Donovan everything he knows about how The Beast in the Hills operate, or be true to Ryan and reveal nothing, resulting in Ryan's death at Donovan's hands.

## Physical Appearance

Ryan has a rectangular body shape, with no prominent curves. She is muscular. She is flat-chested as a result of strenuous activity as a child, including many sports.

Ryan's hair is short, blonde, and styled into a faux hawk. She has tan skin and green eyes. Her nose is broad.

Sharing a love of classic rock with her father, Ryan is known to wear band tees that Thomas picks up for her at concerts. She likes most things with "badass" designs like wolves, skulls, big cats, or thorny roses. Ryan is fond of jeans. She often wears a black leather vest with The Beast in the Hills logo on it once she becomes a member. She takes on a more traditionally male look but will wear dresses on occasion. She wears boxer briefs as underwear and trunks for swimming.

## Personality and Traits

Ryan is outgoing, kind, and cheerful.

The antithesis of Veronica, Ryan is an extremely kind person who is morally corrupted, as opposed to a cruel person who is morally good.

Growing up with the support and love of her parents, as well as constant companionship in sports and clubs, set Ryan up for a socially-successful future. Ever-popular and beloved by all back home, she would do anything for the approval of new friends and the leader of The Beast in the Hills. Family is paramount to Ryan, including her real family and the family she has chosen.
