a bubble of happiness and optimism 98% of the time. there is some default friendliness and happy go lucky vibes to begin with for her but as she's gotten older it is much more of a choice she makes. i could easily see it wearing on people from time to time. and it doesn't mean she doesn't get sad or mad or down, just that she has found she can focus on the good or the bad and life is to short to focus on the bad; she's seen people get swallowed whole focusing on the bad.
she's lived in st. augustine for her entire life outside of college. she is incredibly loyal to her friends. she loves things with her whole heart, so if she digs it, she digs it. she tends to have romantic relationships that last at most 3 years - the only exception to that was a boyfriend from high school into college or college past that nearly everyone thought she would marry (even her).
she was in a dead end miserable corporate job that she wasn't happy in until a couple years ago that she left for the life of freelance graphic design and illustration. she dabbles in a few other things to make sure that ends meet and because she is a curious soul so one thing can't really hold her down too much.
