Physical description.
She is never quite who she seems to be. Her hair appears between blond and brown and glows orange under bright light, never quite a single color. On dry or humid days, her hair falls just short of her shoulders, puffed outwards by her curls bumping against each other, never settling into a single shape long enough to be called a hairstyle.
At the age of twenty-two and in her senior year in college, she is clearly not a college student at heart. She wears lavender eye shadow and bright red lipstick, but she is hardly girly. Her frequent sports injuries, her fascination with cars, and her penchant for video games would tell you that. She drinks, but you will only find expensive gins and craft beers in her apartment. She takes classes, but she spends most of her time working, supporting herself because her family does not.
She isn’t thin, but then neither is she unfit – she looks like a carefully managed health regimen locked in a constant struggle with family genes. She is, for the most part, a vegetarian, but only because she hasn’t bothered to reintroduce her stomach to meat after Lent. She was too busy being not what you’d expect.
