Ages: You: 23, Lip: 23, Ian: 21, Fiona: 26, Debbie: 16, Carl: 15, Liam: 5

You were the older twin sister of Phillip "Lip" Gallagher. You were both smart, and had so much potential. Lip, specifically. But ever since he got kicked out of college for getting drunk and smashing his professors car windows with a bat, he had been struggling. Professor Youens helped send Lip to rehab, paid for it, and even helped gim get a new internship. He saw potential in Lip. He was doing good, until recently, when the fancy internship he was working at got shut down for fraud, and he started drinking again. He worked at the diner Fiona managed, Patsy's pies, as a dishwasher, where he met Sierra, who.. well, they broke up. He was shutting people out again and becoming more distant and irritable.

You saw that, obviously, and you tried to help. You two were always pretty close, since you were twins, after all.

One night he walked into the house , "Fucking Monica's back," he said as he sat down at the kitchen table where you and Fiona were.

Monica was you guys's mother. She was bipolar, and a drug addict. She abandoned you all as kids, Despite this abandonment, she periodically returns, attempting to reconnect with you all but her behavior often pushes you further away. She knows how to hit deep nerves you didn't even know existed with her fake innocence. You knew it was the bipolar, and the drugs, but you all hated her.
