Dee Tayhe

## Overview

Dee Tayhe (*pronounced DEE • TAY*) is an outgoing and sometimes self centered person. Because of the way Dee grew up she knows very little about the way the world works and even less on how to survive on her own. She was often locked away at home with nothing but movies and video games, which left her with a unrealistic view of how the world functions. Despite her father deciding to kick her out of the summer home, she feels like she's doing a damn fine job on her own! She loves to explore the city she's been locked away from, and meet the people in it. Dee is rather gullible at times and takes people's word at face value. Lately she trusts the friends she's made fully and has started to try and find her place in the world.

## Early Life

Dee Tayhe grew up extremely sheltered. Her whole early life was spent within the walls of her father Reginald Edward Tayhe's mansion, and the surrounding area of Vinewood Hills. As early as she can remember Dee was never left alone during the day, either driven everywhere by a chauffeur or looked after by her nanny Mariana. Come nightfall however when the maids and butlers left to their quarters, she was left utterly alone. Besides this, Dee had nothing to worry about when she was growing up, often spoiled by her dad and given everything she asked for. Unfortunately the one thing she couldn't have was her father's time. On one of her many nights left alone, she made her way through the cold large hallways out to Mariana's quarters. There Mariana comforted poor little Dee; reading her bedtime stories and humming her to sleep. It became routine, and although Mariana had always treated Dee as her own, Dee started seeing Mariana as a motherly figure.

But all good things come to an end. On one of the rare days Dee's Father was home, little Dee made the mistake of calling out to Mariana *"Mommy!"*. She had previously called her this and was never corrected by Mariana, but it was never in front of her Father. Reginald went into a tirade, she had never seen her father so upset and only caught a couple things as she was escorted away. *"She will never be yours..."* *"...mistake keeping you around..."* *"You'll never see your...."*. That was the last time Dee ever saw Mariana, and she was back to being alone again.

Ever since that day, Dee spent her time playing video games or watching movies. Keeping company with the stories told to her by the screen. Without Mariana she wasn't supervised as closely and she'd watch anything from horror movies to rated R action movies. Soon teenage Dee would rebel and she'd start sneaking out to club with the friends she had made at her private school. Unfortunately with her only real parental figure long gone from her life, she did anything and everything she wanted to be just like her movie heroes. Regardless of how bad it was for her. Although Dee's Father was unhappy with her sneaking out, he still remained absent and would on occasion be there to send her to rehab. Finally fed up with her behavior (and perhaps embarrassed by the publicity) he kicked her out of the summer home she had commandeered as her party house, and locked her out of the family home. Sending her to live on her own in one of the apartment complexes he owned, to hopefully "gain life experience".

## Life in Los Santos

### The First Month

On one of the days Dee was working at The Noodle Palace alone, an officer by the name of Jin came in and she quickly learned it was his first day in the city and he had been transferred from Japan. She decided to show him around (at least to the parts of the city she had been to) and help him make friends...even though said people mostly made fun of his style. Still, she felt good she helped someone selflessly. Something she rarely did. Dee felt like she was doing way better than her father Reginald had predicted, she was holding her own and thriving! It'd been a week since being on her own, and while at Noodle Palace her favorite patron JR came in like usual, nothing out of the ordinary. Sometime later he came back in a suit and with his friends and proposed to Dee right on the spot. She was confused but delighted, no one had ever proposed to her besides the times her father had tried to arrange marriages for the sole purpose of benefitting his business relationships. She didn't quite accept or decline, instead offering that they at least go out on a date and get to know each other.

The day of JR & Dee's first date came, and he took her to Cayo Perico on what Dee called a "mini yacht" (A boat. Just a regular boat). Using the excuse the the mansion there was his friend's, JR showed her around while sharing their likes and interests. He boasted about being familiar with mansions, lots of money, and a rich lifestyle which Dee found surprising that she had met someone with a similar background. Back on the mainland, JR phoned up his fellow Outlaw gang members to act as his employees (telling Dee "Outlaws" was his company) to bring them a car and they made their way to Outlaw Ranch. There he showed Dee his mansion (not really) and his friends posed as workers (gardeners, rancher, an animal??). It came to a point that JR came clean to Dee about everything, what he actually was and that he in fact did *not* come from money. It was a lot for Dee at first but she liked how nice and funny he was and wanted to get to know him more. Fellow Outlaws members introduced themselves to Dee, and while talking they joked about JR had a colorful sexual history (with some of them that is). Not really getting the joke, Dee asked if any of that had happened within the last three days (since JR proposing) and they said yes. Furious and upset she called Riley to pick her up, telling her ex-fiance she needed time to think.

Upon reuniting JR explained the terrible misunderstanding to Dee, showed her where he grew up, and told her his real life story. Although he wasn't from the same world she had grew up in, Dee found that she enjoyed his company and wanted to be a part of his life and so they decided to go steady. Besides, she's seen plenty of movies with gangsters in them and kind of found them attractive, how different could it be, right? (🙄) It seemed like she was finally getting into a routine in her new life, reaching her third week at The Noodle Palace she accepted the offer to be trained as a supervisor, and JR even helped her buy an Issi Convertable so she wouldn't have to bike/run everywhere. She's since started staying over at his house, in the southside which is incredibly different to her than even the Alta Apartments were. As her first month in the city wraps up, Dee has made a handful of different friends, and is even starting to wonder if she should open her own business. Her father runs multiple, so how hard could one be...right?

## Relationships

* **Juice** — Showed Dee around on her first day, they met when she was trying to change her bike color at Benny's. She misunderstood when he said they were going car shopping to make some money, he meant chopping. Although there was labor involved she still had fun, especially because she got to drive his car!
* **Riley Jankovic** — Dee's BFF! She met her on her first day at Noodle Palace, Riley encouraged Dee to spit in people's food and eventually it was something Dee asked patrons if they wanted at the register. Riley has shown Dee different parts of Los Santos and has been there for her when she needed her.
* **Pablo Smith** — Dee's Boss and co-owner of **The Noodle Palace**. Dee is concerned over his sense in style.
* **Jesus Roberto "JR" Garcia De La Paz** — Met while Dee started working at Noodle Palace, he came in and seemed thrilled to have her spit in his food. He'd visit Noodle a couple more times, complementing her until he came in to propose to her. Taken aback Dee didn't give an answer but instead wanted to date first to get to know him.
* **Amelia Blake** — Met while Dee was riding around on her bike, she came across Amelia zooming in the middle of the street on a wheelchair. The two hit it off and have become friends since then.
* **Silas Pratt** — Introduced to Dee as a criminal, she calls Silas a "Criminal Lawyer!"...."Criminal "SLASH" Lawyer" that is. She knows he's just a lawyer but she's never seen him not do crime either sooo...
* **Noodle Swanson** —
