and jenna is so cute! currently i've only really got family worked out for her, so i need absolutely everything else -- which doesn't really narrow it down. but essy is 26 and a nashville native, though she went out to texas to get her degree -- which she cites as both the best choice she's made and also the worst. growing up she always wanted to get out, and was always acting out a little at home and driving her parents crazy by sneaking out and tiptoeing over the line of what they expected, so getting to leave the state for college was a dream... at first. she loved living in austin but let college get far too overwhelming in her final year and despite graduating she was implored by her parents to come home afterwards for the sake of her own health. now, though, she works at an advertising agency in the city, although she's kind of always felt a little coerced into taking the path in life that's assured of security when she'd actually love to be doing something a little more artistic (she dabbles in photography and music but regretfully considers them hobbies as opposed to anything else). as a result of her struggles at college, she came back a little different to the girl who left -- she's still loyal and friendly and wants to get to know everyone and try everything once, but she's a little more held back and contemplative than before (though she definitely still has her moments where she forgets to filter and segues back into her old personality which can get confusing for those who are watching carefully).
