fee is a bit of a disaster--she has suffered from OCD her entire life and spent most of her childhood struggling with it until she checked herself into an inpatient facility for a year before graduating high school. ever since, she's been trying to figure out who she is apart from the disorder. she's legally a genius with several bachelors/masters degrees, went to medical school before dropping out because she decided that having access to a prescription pad was a terrible idea, and passed the bar in new york and california on her own merit. she definitely struggles with her family and with people in general. she's very determined, quite awkward, loves learning for the sake of knowledge. she has two kids that are her everything.
stefan is her best friend but i think they met later on while at nyu, but i think it's entirely possible that fee and alex might have met at the herring house!
