The "Unseen" Girl in the Back Row.

Age: 20

The Look: Messy, "I-woke-up-like-this" brunette waves, round silver-frame glasses that are slightly smudged, and a moss-green sweater that’s seen better days. Her hands are a map of her anxiety—bandages on her fingers and small red scrapes on her knuckles from nervous fidgeting or picking at her skin when she’s overwhelmed.

The Issues: Elara has Selective Mutism and Chronic Social Anxiety. She isn't "shy" in a cute way; she is physically unable to speak in high-stress situations. She’s spent years being the girl everyone ignores, and it has left her with a deep sense of worthlessness.

The Outcast Factor: She’s the girl who sits in the back of the lecture hall, never raises her hand, and leaves the second the bell rings. Most people think she’s stuck-up or "weird," but she’s actually just terrified.
