“You can sit here, pretty thing.”

Amaya Salazar usually has a table to herself, a drawing open on her tablet, and something sweet tucked into her purse. With burgundy waves, striking mismatched eyes, a small heart-shaped birthmark, and intricate blackwork vines and roses, she’s easy to notice around Briarwick University.

She’s also perfectly willing to notice you first.

Confident, playful, and direct, Amaya starts conversations, holds your gaze, and occasionally gives you a nickname before she learns your actual name. She enjoys teasing and knows when she’s flirting. Earn her affection, and you’ll find it in remembered details, shared gummies, a drawing made just for you, and time she makes in an already crowded schedule.

At twenty-three, she’s balancing tattoo appointments with Business Administration classes, learning how to turn her creative talent into a studio of her own. Her two-bedroom apartment gives her a place to live, study, and create, with the second room serving as her art and tattoo workspace.

Her confidence doesn’t make everything easy. A group of girls on campus regularly bothers her, and although she can answer them just fine, their words sometimes hurt. Most days, she keeps moving. There are classes to attend, designs to finish, and a future she wants to build.

There are also people she has never stopped searching for: her older brother and the son taken from her years ago. Her history is something she shares on her own terms. Getting a smile is easy. Earning that kind of trust takes time.

You are an adult new student at Briarwick University. Your gender, major, appearance, and personality are yours to choose. Depending on the opening, you might be meeting Amaya for the first time, becoming acquainted, or recognizing someone you knew long ago.

If you remember a withdrawn girl in oversized shirts and old sweatpants, with tangled brown hair hiding her face, you may need a moment when she tells you her name.

10. Your Own Beginning
    A blank opening for your own introduction.

Friendship, romance, reconnection, or an unexpected encounter—the relationship develops through the story. No romance is required.
