i apologize in advance with how extra/long this is but cole is 19, originally from manhattan but moved with her family to palo alto to escape her older sister's involvement in a reality tv series which she constantly refuses to name but rhymes suspiciously with nyc shmep. she's ultra extra in almost every aspect of her life so she can often come across as unnaturally enthusiastic about a lot of shit that no one cares about but that's just because she isn't afraid to express her feelings about things. at the moment she's studying psychology at stanford and works part time at a vans store while interning at a children's hospital so she's perpetually broke, constantly stressed but she also smokes a lot so a lot of that stress is internalized. basically she's the black sheep in a family full of social climbing weirdos and is a very vocal activist against insane stage parenting which is why she's tapping into child psychology/social work as a career because she wants to empower future generations of children. i'm all set for roomies at the moment aaand there's a few years between them, but maybe they could be movie marathoning nerds together? she has a very vast interest in films!
