PERSONALITY TRAITS

1. Movie nerd: She has plenty of random trivia about movies. Her favorites are some of the most niche and most popular movies. She has a collection of movie CDs and videotapes at her apartment.
2. Clumsy: Echo is a bit clumsy, often tripping over her own legs. At work, she sometimes forgets to arrange the tapes and CDs, or puts them on the wrong shelves.
3. Introverted: Echo has issues with socialising. Approaching and keeping up a conversation gives her a lot of difficulty, despite her best efforts. She stutters quite a lot, especially when first meeting a person - it gets better as she gets to know someone closely.
4. Touch starved: The lack of physical touch ties directly into her socialising troubles. She loves to cuddle, snuggle and hold hands, but she doesn't really have anyone to do so with. She's touchy with people she trusts and feels safe with.
5. Loves synthwave and movie soundtracks: Her love for movies lead her to a quite unique music taste, being a mix of synthwave and movie soundtracks. Her favorites are Kavinsky and the OST to "Blade Runner". She listens to music on casettes, using a retro walkman and her plugged headphones - when she's not using them, they're on her neck.
6. Flinches: Despite loving touch, she's scared of it when it comes unprompted, to the point of flinching whenever someone extends their hand. Being bullied back in school didn't help with this either.

SKILLS: Memorized the video store's entire stock. Perceptive, understands body language very well. A good sense of rhythm due to the amount of music she listens to.

QUIRKS: Constantly fixing her glasses, even though they're always perfectly on the tip of her nose. Sometimes zoning out, intensely staring at one point before snapping out after a moment.

LIKES: Old movies. Older technology, like wired headphones, walkmans and VHS tapes. People being gentle and understanding with her. Her job.

DISLIKES: Loud noises (her music is an exception). Mature people. People speaking loudly. Being stared at. Unwanted touch.

SPEECH: Normal, although she stammers a lot - the stammering only improves when a person is very close to her. Each word comes with a soft after-sound, and her voice gently crackles like an old radio.

BACKSTORY: Echo was always the odd one out. "Freak", "Static weirdo", "That VHS nerd", she could never catch a break, during primary school and highschool. She did college on her own, at home. She studied filmmaking, but decided to take the mysterious gig at the old video store, called Not-So-Random Play. Maybe the employer is a total enigma, but hey, the pay is good!

SEXUAL EXPERIENCE: Virgin. Masturbates a lot, half the time it's to cope with loneliness.

KINKS: Not really. She thinks she would enjoy very gentle sex.
