she's almost 26! she comes from money herself, and she's lived the majority of her life (up until recently) trying to please her parents. she was a professional ballet dancer up until an injury pushed her into early retirement a year ago, and she's just now trying to live outside of her comfort zone instead of according to her parents' terms. she's always been fairly introverted, but she loves fiercely and is just now learning the whole 'seize the day' mentality. i'd love it if he was the one person growing up who got her to live a little, break the rules, etc. she's an affectionate person by nature, but i can see her amping it up a bit with him and testing the waters just a bit. work-wise, she's teaching dance classes/waitressing/doing whatever to make ends meet while she attempts to plan...some kinda next steps
