hey guys and gals, this is ruthy (no last name in case i'm able to find a younger brother for her) and she's 21 and a student at the university. she's from the town, but she went to a private prep school out of state for high school, so she won't have any of those connections. she's in the education program, and she wants to be a teacher after graduation. preferably elementary school or even kindergarten which surprises her family (and most of her friends) because she's pretty outspoken and kind of the "life of the party/center of attention" due to her sarcasm, wit, general outgoing tendencies. aka she's got a filthy mouth and isn't exactly the type of person you'd think of when you hear "elementary school teacher" in the least bit. the reason she's like this is because she was really reserved/shy in high school, and didn't have many friends despite the fact that she was easily one of the richest kids there. when she came back home to go off to college, she decided to change things. so because of her reserved past, she's got a wild streak, just because she never really did anything as a teenager. she's very into the environment, and her parents often ridicule her for being a "hippie" (they're sort of right wing conservatives, very wealthy, i'm thinking her dad is in politics, but his beliefs are very unlike hers) despite the fact that's where most of her passion truly lies. she's very opinionated, loves to debate over anything and everything, and ends up making most of her friends (and enemies) this way.
in terms of lines i'm really looking for the younger brother! how much younger is up to whoever is interested in filling it, meaning high school or earlier college, it's no biggie. maybe one or two people who she was friends with during the summer (in high school, when she came home from prep school) who knew her as the "shy" girl. in terms of "romance" i'm not thinking she's ever dated anyone seriously, but some past hookups/flings, or maybe even someone who she's currently steadily fooling around with. a few people who think she's too harsh/outspoken, a few people who love her for it, a younger girl who she sort of sees as a little sister? i'm just throwing out ideas, so feel free to do so as well!
