Fun Facts:

• Can be drawn with the Lesbian or Trans pride flags
• Needs to be in motion at all times or she stops being able to think and starts vibrating into the sun with anxiety. When she has to sit still, she compensates by fidgeting with her glasses/scarf,  chewing on writing utensils, etc.
• She's very athletic! She especially loves surfing/swimming, and she's also quite fond of soccer and has more recently taken up taekwondo with her kiddo, Zee. She's not too picky though -- she'll also happily go hiking, bowling, weightlifting, etc. with friends.
• Really good at math, especially geometry!
• She really loves racing and puzzle video games and brain teaser type board games.
• Has a hard time with serious/emotional conversations because she's anxious about saying the wrong thing.
• Her favorite way to socialize is over a shared activity, like chatting during a walk/run/swim, watching sports together, playing board or video games together, etc.
• She loves her job as an oceanographic engineer because it combines math AND the ocean! She just wishes it allowed her to go outside and see the actual ocean a bit more often. Being inside for too long makes her feel antsy, and a lot of her job involves being indoors working with numbers.
• She has ADHD and Social Anxiety
