excuse this mash up of stuff, i'll try to keep it short. extra stuff is in his bio! alan is a 50 year old psychiatrist, an extrovert, mostly non-traditional at heart, makes fast friends, and has a love for getting to know people on deeper levels whether they be close friends or people who made the mistake of standing next to him for too long. while he does have serious and darker moments, for the most part he's a happy man who has a habit of keeping the less happy things to himself (for better or worse).
assuming this character is one you're planning on bringing in, what are you thinking about doing with her? off the top of my head i'd love a mentor/mentee line (but not so pretentious, more like friends who happen to have that dynamic as well) with someone who is getting into his field or something closely related to it. or maybe someone he knew growing up alongside his son (33) in queens depending on her age. i'm also up for brainstorming something more fitting!
