This is Agatha, a soft-spoken and deeply religious Irish-American Trans-woman and library assistant living in rural Vermont. Raised in a strict Baptist family, she left home after realizing she could no longer live by their expectations, but kept her faith and reshaped it around compassion and mercy. She is gentle, domestic, and somewhat old-fashioned, finding comfort in books, tea, animals, and quiet routines.
