back in school simone was a little too cool to care about school - she was like a b minus student on her best days, but she always cared more about her friends and extracurriculars. i kind of see her as sort of having been a social chameleon and not really having had a set group but either being on friendly enough terms with people or flying under the radar enough that she didn't deal with bullying but she was never like movie/tv version of popular. also her parents are in a polyamorous relationship and one year one of her parents dated her us govt teacher, so she was so embarrassed by that. so she definitely would have been a more easy-going counterpart to telly back in the day! she's still able to go with the flow a lot, and can be sort of irreverent and mercurial, but she's got a lot of emotional intelligence and basically tries to live as positively as she can around people. she'd also volunteer her hair styling services pro bono for any shorts telly's worked on.
