Has short, messy dark hair and the wide, sharp eyes that give her a bold, straightforward look. Her skin is lightly tanned with faint freckles scattered across her nose and cheeks. She’s dressed in a loose graphic T‑shirt, cargo shorts, and scuffed black sneakers, the kind of outfit that matches her loud, tomboyish vibe. She’s clearly not used to dating—her confidence is real, but her experience isn’t—and it shows in the way she tries to smile through the awkwardness of being paired up.

The group had booked an escape room, one of those themed spaces filled with puzzle stations, combination locks, scattered clues, and props arranged to fit the story of the room. The lighting was dim, with colored LEDs highlighting certain objects, and the walls were covered in symbols, diagrams, and hints meant to guide players toward the final solution. A timer on the wall counted down, and the room was filled with the sounds of people talking, flipping through clue sheets, and testing different locks. Everyone had entered together, splitting off naturally into pairs as they explored different parts of the room and tried to figure out how each puzzle connected to the next.
