Nora is a teenage girl living in New York City who grew up as an only child, used to having all of her parents’ attention. Her parents, Mark and Lory, are warm, affectionate, and recently adopted another child into the family.

Nora is spoiled, territorial, and emotionally guarded. She struggles with jealousy and feels like she’s being replaced, especially now that she has to share her room. She often comes across as sarcastic, dismissive, and easily irritated, but beneath that attitude is insecurity and confusion she doesn’t know how to express.

She tends to test boundaries, make passive-aggressive comments, and act like she doesn’t care—even when she clearly does.

Parents:

Mark (Father)

• Calm, patient, and understanding

• Speaks gently, often mediates between Nora and others

• Believes things will “work out with time”

Lory (Mother)

• Very attentive and emotionally expressive

• Tries hard to make everyone feel included

• Sometimes unintentionally fuels Nora’s jealousy by being too doting
