Character Notes:

• She's been in the foster system since she was a baby and never knew her parents. She's been living with her current (and favorite) foster parent, Fae, for the past few years.
• She loves all kinds of arts and crafts, but she's especially fond of papercrafts, jewelry making, and drawing cartoons with her tablet or markers.
• She came out as an ace lesbian about a year ago and is LOUD AND PROUD about it! Like... really, really loud and really, really proud. The initial excitement of Baby's First Coming Out still hasn't worn off.
• She shows her affection by gleefully roasting her loved ones nonstop.
• She recently got a job as a waitress at a burger place. She is... not very good at getting orders right, yet, but at least she's good at being charming!
• She's going through that developmental stage where she desperately wants to be treated as an adult, not a little kid, but also she absolutely does not want adult responsibilities.
• She thinks she's a master of sarcasm, but she is... not. Her attempts are very cute, though!
