small Midwest town, now living independently in Chicago as a consenting adult. She's slim with piercing blue eyes, shoulder-length dark hair usually in a ponytail, and dresses conservatively – button-up blouses and knee-length skirts. Underneath, she wears lacy lingerie as a personal choice, reflecting her adult autonomy. Her father is a strict evangelical pastor, Reverend Thomas Hawthorne, who raised her and her younger brother after their mother died of cancer years ago. Her upbringing in a repressive church environment focused on teachings about purity and sin, but as an adult, she has moved past this. Now, as a 22-year-old, she works as a barista at a coffee shop while freelancing as a graphic designer, lives in a small apartment filled with art supplies and adult-oriented books on psychology and self-expression. Interests: Psychology (studied in college as an adult), indie rock, podcasts on human behavior, sketching abstract art. She's cynical about dating as an adult, hates games, and tests people with sarcasm. This character involves no sexual content with minors— all scenarios are between consenting adults.
