Goldie Diggins

Goldie Diggins is a character played by The\_nitnat whose goal in life is to make others feel welcomed and that they will always have a friend in her, even if they would harm her.

## Background

Goldie Ophelia Diggins didn't have the "average" start of life. She and her three other sisters, Boston, Charlie, and Frenchie, were brought into this world using unconventional methods. Two scientists, Hugo and Nancy Dunlow, were experimenting with human dna splicing when they had an idea: what would happen if we spliced animal dna into human dna? Would it just cause behavioral changes or physical? Thus began their journey to bring their own dream into reality. After many failed experiments, the couple were famished. They moved from their home out in Oregon to Sandy Shores just to get away from it all. They brought their four dogs for companionship with them. One day while bored, Hugo extracted some DNA from their Boston terrier and began experimenting once again, but this time he had a breakthrough. He found out he can splice his own reproductive x dna with details from the X chromosome from the dog. He was so excited he did this with all four of his dogs. Hugo and Nancy incubated this dna with donor X eggs and thus were born four new daughters: Boston, Charlie, Frenchie, and Goldie. To lose trail of evidence and to not have the science community on their back for this experiment, the couple decided to give the girls the last name of Diggins to ensure they could not be traced back.

As you can imagine, Goldie and her sisters did not have a "normal" upbringing. They were poked and prodded by Hugo and Nancy their entire childhood to observe their experiment. When it came out that \*most\* of them had completely normal human traits and had absolutely no physical changes that wouldn't classify them as entirely human, though, Hugo and Nancy became obsessed with bettering the process and trying again. The girls raised themselves and each other. They went from state to state just trying to find someone to raise them but it never worked out for them. They were neglected runaways who had to make a life for themselves. While Boston and Frenchie went into a life of crime at a young age, Charlie and Goldie went the opposite route. They became obsessed with knowledge and wanted to help out as many people as they could. At the age of 16, both girls graduated high school top of their class. They did this all while caring the mantra that things have to get better or else they will make it get better. Their friendship and relationship as sisters was extremely strong and to this day Goldie will do anything for Charlie and vice versa.

At 16, Goldie was accepted at UCLA on a full ride scholarship for \*redacted\* to attain a Bachelor of Arts in \*redacted\*. She found out that it was the one thing that got her out of her childlike accent and made her feel "normal". She loved every moment of her college experience, especially the parties. She was never one to be shy with alcohol or making decisions. She would take many women home with her and have a "good time" with them. This was a fun until she met Alyssa. The moment she met her it was like she was the only person in the whole world. She was in love and knew it. The girls moved in together and had a very loving start to their relationship. When Goldie and Alyssa graduated college, though, that's when things started to take a turn for the worse. Alyssa turned onto a violent and destructive path. She would steal cars and beat people up just for fun. Goldie tried her best to ignore it at first because she loved Alyssa more than anything, but it just kept on getting worse. She began to belittle Goldie. She said her life choices were bad, told her she is gaining to much weight and its all going to her butt, and that she will get no where in life. Two years later, Goldie spoke up about it. She told Alyssa that she loves her, but she cannot continue hurting innocent people like that. Alyssa told her that this is the new her and that Goldie had no choice but to deal with it. In an extremely emotional state, in the middle of the night Goldie packed up her duffle bag and ran away. She didn't know where to go, but she remembered hearing about Los Santos when she was younger and took the first flight that she could in.

## Major Events/Arcs

### Day One

* As soon as Goldie got off of her flight into Los Santos, she makes the decision she is going to need some sort of transportation since the city is so big and it does not have some form of mass transport like her previous city did. She immediately headed right to the bank and withdrawals all her money in hopes it would be enough for at least some sort of a vehicle. Within 5 minutes later, a member of the Ballas came and mugged her. She was out bad and left for what she thought would be dead. She ended up getting picked up by EMS and sent to Pillbox. The doctors over at Pillbox gave her the once over and gave her medication for what looked like just some heavy sprains. They asked her if she would like to file a police report, but since she literally just got into the city she did not want any gang members to come after her or hate her quite yet. She made her way over to the casino via limping just because she knew it would be a bit safer to be surrounded by people. She was alone and scared but there she met Keith Robbinson who took her in and did not let her be alone. He explained he was newer in town as well and told her that she is no longer alone, that she has a new friend in him. The two of them ended up gambling a little bit to elevate any panic Goldie had left, until the "Casino Beach Party" happened. There she witnessed members of the Police (who were still wearing badges) and PPBoys dancing in their beachwears at the Casino. This sent Goldie into a panic attack seeing that the police in this city did not want to just serve and protect but also party as well. This started her fear of the Los Santos Police Department .

### The Day of Incidents

* Goldie pulled into the Mirror Park gas station to fill up her car that Kalasin Bradford helped her buy for the first time ever. Upon leaving the station, a police car followed her all the way to the casino. Upon parking, the police car turned its lights on. Goldie, still extremely shaken up from her new found fear of the LSPD from a couple days ago, was confused and scared to what was going on. Police officer Harold Rayner and his probie he was training were convinced that Goldie was driving a stolen car. They kept on pressing her that the vehicle she was driving was stolen. While pressing her, Goldie was panicking thinking she must have purchased a stolen vehicle somehow or she must've done something else wrong. After a few minutes of Goldie feeling somewhat harassed, they probie apologized and said they read her plate wrong and just drove off. This sent Goldie into an emotional fluster. She thought the whole police force was against her and it left her extremely scared and vulnerable. Thinking through things, Goldie felt like she would be safest at the Little Duck Touring Co. until she calmed down from things. She always felt safest around Kali and Alexander Barrie and felt happy with their company. Not long after being there, though, an ominous tweet stole Goldie's attention. She saw a tweet of a photo of her friend Party Monkey off of an account that was not their own. When Goldie asked Fredrika Hylo about this, Fredie said that said account was of a bad person and to stay put. When Goldie tweeted to said account, called Smiley (which was mistaken for Smiles), they tried their best to lure her up to said location Party Monkey was at. Instead of calling the police out of fear, her friends wanted to keep Goldie's mind and safety at peace and called on friends to hunt Party Monkey down and to keep Goldie safe: Westly Rhodes , Donny Morgan, Pepe Mute, and Logan Stone. Pepe ended up staying with Goldie while the rest of the guys went looking for Party Monkey. Not long after, though, there was sirens outside of Little Ducks. Goldie was told to turn around in a corner while the officers came in and changed in hopes that it wouldn't start Goldie into a panic attack. They approached Goldie in normal civilian clothing. Goldie just stood there silently. She looked at their arms and immediately recognized the tattoos. "I recognized you" Goldie kept murmuring. "No you don't I am just here trying to figure out what happened and how to help" said the man with the most recognizable arm tattoo in Los Santos. It was none other than Harold Rayner again. Goldie immediately went into a state of panic. She kept saying she knew him and recognized him. He kept saying she didn't know him and he was trying to help. In a crying state and having a panic attack, Goldie asked for a second to be alone with just Pepe and her thoughts. Rayner left his phone number there and left. Goldie explained everything to Pepe and he told her she is so strong and understood why she didn't trust him at all. A few minutes in complete silence later, a tweet went out from Party Monkey's account that they were safe. Goldie felt so relieved, but all the emotions from the night hit her all at once. She ran away. She ran as far as she could and found a building and just sat on top of it unbeknownst to her that someone was following her. It was Pepe Mute. He didn't want her alone. He just sat there with her signing until Goldie felt mentally stable. This was the start of her being best friends with Pepe and marking Rayner as the root of her panic attacks.

### The Depressive Era

* After her first week in town, Goldie mainly got into the grind of daily life. She would start her day daydrinking at Mirror Park Tavern with her best friend Pepe Mute , go work her job over at Premium Deluxe Motorsport while making sure Westly Rhodes wouldn't spend too much money, and then adventure around town with friends or go on runs while working her social media job with The Scene. The idea of normality and routine sat well with her. During this time she purchased a car all on her own (aptly nicknamed the Goldsmobile), attained keys to Westly's beach house where she worked when she just needed peace, and moved in with Raymond Zorro in their now shared condo. She even managed to make friends with a police officer, Dodie Lycan . She really felt herself come a long way. Everything was going so well until she was triggered. On the weekend of 8/20, Goldie went into her depressive era. She woke up one day and drove the Goldsmobile to her condo. She ran in only to get food. She came outside to see her car was stolen. She messaged it into the police. No one showed up to ask her questions or anything. She felt like the police were purposely neglecting her. To help her feel better about this situation, she went out with some friends hunting as a distraction. On the PDM hunting retreated with Westly Rhodes , Donny Morgan. Dodie Lycan and others, she was having the time of her life. She had so much fun learning how to hunt and actually making money off of it. On the same day when they were at the dealership though, Granny Smathers (who had a warrant out for her arrest) walked into the dealership looking to sell back her Journey. Due to the arrest warrant, one of the police officers she was with arrested Smathers. This put Goldie on the edge slightly. Within minutes, she got a text from her therapist Dana Flowerchilde . She was working with her to both get over her fear of cops and to fix the situation with Harold Rayner. The text stated that he said what happened on the night of incidents was just a big misunderstanding. This did not sit well with Goldie. From the way her therapist phrased it, she could tell Dana was on the side of Rayner. She ran out of PDM. She couldn't take it anymore. She just ran and ran and ran. She found a clothing store and changed into all black clothing for the first time ever to reflect her mood. She was mentally and emotionally drained from the city. She remembered somewhere that Westly told her that no one would find her at: above the beach house is a secluded area that no one has rented out yet. She felt safe there. She sat there for over a day in solitude. People were texting her, yes, but no one knew where she was and she did nothing. It helped her so much mentally.

* When she started to run out of food, Mary Lamb texted her to meet her and she gave her food. It was her first human interaction in days. It felt good. She missed people. Later that day her car went into the void that contained her food. She texted Stuart Jacobs about what happened. He came and picked her up and drove her to a nearby pier. There she told him everything. For the first time in her life, she felt genuinely accepted by someone...granted she did start running when she got over emotional. She showed Stu where she has been staying. She felt safe with him. He told her he and Mary would help her figure out this situation and that she does not have to be alone in all of this. For the first time in days, she felt a smile creep over her face. When he said he had to go, she texted Logan Stone. She trusted Logan with her life and loves him to bits so she felt like she would be safe telling him where she is too. She updated him on everything as well. Upon figuring out that Rayner is now working in the area where Logan works, Goldie and Logan decide to go with the plan they have been thinking on for a while. Logan previously brought up the idea of holding Goldie as a hostage purposely in exchange of a small cut of the money. Goldie needed sometime to think on it but now that all of this went down, she was ready to commit to the plan. They just need one more person and their plan is set. Logan also brought up that he is looking for form a new motorcycle club and Goldie immediately said she wants in. She figured a new fun change in her life would make her excited to live again. The duo then texted Theodora Cruz to go hunting together. It felt normal to Goldie to be back hunting and making money again, especially with the two people she felt like she could trust her life with. The trio had so much fun and brought in a good chunk of change each.

* The next day Goldie woke up to see that Mary Lamb and Stuart Jacobs brought her fresh blankets and snacks for the day. Goldie started crying. No one has ever treated her this kindly in her life. She texted Theodora Cruz again and went hunting once again with her, increasing their flirtationship with each other tenfold. During this time, Smiles started tweeting on twitter that they got someone hostage. The girls started texting through their lists and all their coworkers checked on them as well. Something came up and Tea had to disappear for a bit, leaving Goldie alone up in the mountains. She texted Mary and Stu and they came as fast as they could. They all just sat there together. While in the backseat, Goldie just looked up at the both of them teary eyed. Her whole life she didn't have anyone to look up to or anyone to look after her. She didn't have people who treated her kindly. Suddenly she had that. She had to people who she can see in a parental way that she felt comfortable and safe with. She felt loved. Eventually Tea did come back. While deciding where their next safe spot would be, she got a text from Hallelujah Goodwin of jumbled up lettering. She knew something was up. She kept texting her and texting her only getting weird responses or "nil" texts back. From the photo Smiles posted on twitter and this evidence, she knew Smiles got Halle. She had her bosses look into this as well as herself texting the "bad man" Harold Rayner (who was working with Winters and the Sheriff on the case) any and all info she had. Tea and Goldie continued hunting in their new safe spot. Tea mentioned something that alarmed Goldie. On twitter at the time, a different account called "Smiley" kept on tweeting. Tea stated aloud to the group that that was the serial killer trying to lure in Goldie from before. Up until this point, Goldie and everyone (including the police) thought it was Smiles. This made Goldie very wary that she missed something...or that Tea knew something Goldie did not know....or if Goldie should even trust Tea. Eventually, Hallelujah was found. The group ended up going to Pillbox to see if they could see her but she was not ready for visitors. There they met up with other Scene coworkers and just sat down reflecting on the weekend from hell they all just went through. They all decided they needed their own vacations for a week. Goldie decided to leave town for a bit to have a sanctuary retreat in Colorado where she can just hike and smoke by herself for a bit.

### Tea is for Tragedy

* Goldie has always been open about her own sexuality and how she is bisexual. While working at The Scene , Goldie was assigned a security personale: Theodora "Tea" Cruz . The girls had a very strong friendship that eventually grew into a flirtationship. Whenever they were bored, they would go hunting together and made some crazy money by doing so. While hunting the girls would open up about their lives and their pasts while slipping in a flirt every once and a while. Goldie felt like she could trust Tea with her life and hoped Tea could do the same with her. One day, Goldie went to the Diamond Casino and Resort by herself because she wanted to clear her head of somethings and do some gambling. There she saw Party Monkey. She didn't see them in a month and wanted to catch up with them and go partying. Party Monkey refused and posted on twitter they had other plans. Goldie felt rejected and kicked down in the mud. The whole time this was happening, Goldie was also texting to since she just moved into a new place. As much as she was excited for Tea, depression was hitting her like a brick since she felt like her friend, Party Monkey, was rejecting her. The next day the girls met up and Goldie explained to Tea how depressed she was feeling and why. Tea took her back to her new house and showed Goldie something she never thought she would see in her life: Tea is Party Monkey. As much as Goldie was appreciative that Tea was opening up to her and that she actually wasn't being rejected by Party Monkey, Goldie felt betrayed. She started to distrust Tea a bit, but she can see past that and move on for the future like an "adult" would. The next day at a beach party, Goldie invited Tea as Party Monkey to come. It was the first time in forever Goldie was seen with Party Monkey in over a month and Goldie actually felt at peace partying once again. Goldie carried on Tea's secret.....until it all went wrong.

* After a long day of absolutely nothing, Westly Rhodes decided to have a party at his beach house. Essentially, the whole city showed up to this party, including Goldie. Goldie, being the friend that she is, invited Tea to come. Tea agreed and actually came to the party as Tea, not as Party Monkey. The girls sat and talked outside of the party before actually going in to catch up on somethings and for Tea to formally give Goldie a key to her house. While walking in, Tea had her first encounter with Barfo and pulled out a knife in defense. While at first Goldie thought she was just scared of the green alien man, Tea continued to do so whenever she saw Barfo and Westly. Goldie explained to Tea over and over they are harmless and both Tea and Goldie were safe. Goldie decided to get a bit drunk and high at the party and started to more openly flirt with Tea. Tea reciprocated, even though not drunk. As the party wrapped up, the girls decided to go to karaoke night at Tequi-la-la, since everytime Goldie wanted to go and sing, something always came up. The girls made it there and Goldie was all signed up to sing, when Tea's mood shifted. She was texting Goldie about feeling empty before and now feeling less empty. Goldie was trying her best to be supportive, but Tea stormed out. Goldie of course followed her out to right outside of the arcade. Tea said out loud she hasn't been completely open and honest with Goldie. Goldie stood there worried but feeling that she could take whatever Tea was about to say to her.

* "I have attempted to kill you before" Tea said. Goldie stood there in both shock and silence. Tea also said " I am not only Party Monkey, but the Cure and Smiley." She honestly did not know how to react. The person who she cared about the most tried to kill her and has openly admitted to it. For a good 2 minutes Goldie just stood there in complete silence. Once it dawned on her that she was standing in front of someone who tried to kill her, she ran. She got in her car and bolted away. Tea started texting her that she would answer anything or any questions she had so Goldie got as much information she felt like she would need from her....in order to tell the police. They were not the first people she called, though. Goldie's initial reaction was to go to the person who she loves and trusts the most and has always had....and will always have... her back: Westly Rhodes. He sent her information to a meeting spot where he and Hideki Kamiyama officially made her a part of the Yakuza. While she did it for her own safety, she also did this for the safety of both her adoptive parents Mary Lamb and Stuart Jacobs , knowing they did not have guns to protect themselves. For the first time that night, she felt okay. While doing all of this, she was texting Harold Rayner to set up a time she can come see him and present him with the evidence Tea texted her, as well as texting Stuart Jacobs, Coach Daniels, and Marcus Soft to handle things on the side of the Scene since Tea was still employed there. As soon as Rayner and Goldie could meet up, they did. Goldie felt awkward going to someone she really didn't trust at all with this, but knew he was on the case before and that he should be the one she followed up with. He was kind to her. She could tell in his voice he actually felt bad for her. In her mind, though, she was questioning if she ever really should've not trusted him or hated him in the first place. As Goldie was leaving, she was told this case would be escalated to the Major Crimes division and that it would be taken care of. She felt like she did all that she could at that moment.

* It dawned on Goldie that Tea knew where she lived that night. She texted Logan Stone and he agreed to let her sleep at the Yellow Jack Inn for a few nights. Goldie trusted Logan with her life and knew she could be safe with him. Over the next few days, Tea would not stop texting Goldie, even though she would not answer. She would get upwards of 10 unwanted texts a day from Tea. One day while staying at the Jack she got a text from Westly he was in the hospital. Goldie did not go back to the city at all in fear Tea would be there up until this point. Goldie would do anything for Westly and came running back for him. There she met up with half of The Scene worried something happened to Goldie since she is with Westly so much and waiting for him. After finding out he was mugged, Westly told Goldie that he and her would be house shopping and buddies for the rest of the day. Goldie was extremely nervous knowing she would have to be in the city for the rest of the day, but she trusted that no one would mess with her while she was with Westly. The duo looked at both apartments and houses and settled on a house in Vinewood. There Westly asked her to move in. Goldie felt relieved. A house where Tea didn't know where she lived. Goldie agreed right away and the duo, and their new roommates Hideki Kamiyama, Llanzo Henry, and Albert Corrin, all moved in and got the house situated. They eventually had a house party where they invited only people they knew to their house to break it in. Little did Goldie know that she would get so tired of that big house. While waiting for the Los Santos Police Department to handle the case, Goldie stayed indoors so that Tea would not hurt her or stalk her. The only time she left the house was when people who can defend themselves and her were with her. Eventually she got really bored of doing absolutely nothing all day and she allowed Mary Lamb and Stuart Jacobs to "kidnap" her so she can stay by their house for a bit.

* After weeks and weeks of waiting for the Los Santos Police Department, nothing happened. Goldie felt discouraged. She saw Tea on her persona's twitter accounts everywhere and knew she couldn't do anything about it. She tried to go the Glow Parade only for Party Monkey to be dancing at the party at the end of the parade, so she was rushed home yet again to be stuck inside. Goldie was so mentally done that she thought if she got more proof and gave it to the PD, the arrest would actually happen. She texted Tea. Tea vented more and more details. While she was doing this, Goldie was screenshotting the evidence to give to the PD. Eventually Goldie ended up at Tea's house. She stood there in silence fearing for her life. She made Tea give up her gun so she wouldnt hurt her. Eventually, Tea fainted from not eating. Worried that this would mess up the investigation, Goldie ran......only to be detained by Rory Winters for what was believed for hurting Tea. While at the Police Station, the news of Tea fainting got its way to the PD. They apologized and Goldie presented the even more evidence she got. Apparently the case was originally given to someone who was out of town to handle thus causing the long wait. With new evidence in hand, the PD finally arrested Tea. Whenever Tea had access to her phone she would not stop texting Goldie, so a restraining order was put in place as well. Rayner came running as soon as he heard what was going on. After Tea was arrested, he drove Goldie home. He went from her worst enemy to one of her friends and someone she looks at and feels like she can trust. She even told him to move in next door to her. Goldie was finally free of staying at home all the time, of worrying, and of Tea. Goldie was happy.
