[fibrillate]

Name: Hope Carassia
Age: 25
Gender: Transfemme
Pronouns: They/them
Sexuality: Grey-ace
Height: 5'3" / 160cm
Appearance: Shaggy hair messily dyed green, white-rimmed glasses, novelty non-prescription contacts that make their irises look purple and their left one look like shattered glass. (Black hair and brown eyes underneath the veneers.) A little bony, with pale skin that definitely needs to see the sunlight more. Usually dresses in darker colors and clothing that doesn't give much away about their silhouette.

Talents / Skills / Positive Traits

• Hope is very good at first-person shooters and at least passable at most other things that they've done more than once. They've picked up a little bit of knowledge from just about everywhere (as a result of what is likely an undiagnosed brain thing but they don't have time to examine that right now) and aren't afraid to jump into new hobbies as the urge takes them.
• They're especially knowledgeable about fish and aquatic life, and they don't mind helping people learn more if they're trying to pick up fish as a pet. In general, they just want to make sure that anything that people are responsible for raising is given a good home and the chance to grow, be it fish, dogs, cats, children, whatever.
• They're quiet, yes, and they don't want to cause a lot of problems, but that doesn't mean they're difficult to get along with. They try to be kind and to listen to the people around them to learn what exactly is going wrong and what, if anything, they can do to help out. Having an effectively unlimited bank account does help with this, though they feel enormously guilty actually relying on it.

Flaws / Failings / Negative Traits

• Because their wealth is so conditional, they're more than a little cowardly. They don't know if they could survive without help, so they do all they can to avoid making trouble for the family, even if it means they're acting against their own best interests by staying silent.
• If they aren't immediately good at something the first time, it's very difficult for them to try it a second time. Their apartment is littered with things they said they would definitely go back to again eventually, from yarn to guitars to a homemade screen printer (for the one shirt they ever made).
• It's often not easy to tell how they really feel about something, just because they feel like they're forced to keep all their most passionate emotions inside under lock and key. If they ever do have some kind of emotional outburst, as they might describe it, they'll nearly immediately feel guilty about it and start wanting to apologize.
