Lorelei

Name: Lorelei Holloway Age: 30 Gender: Female Pronouns: She/Her Hair: dyed black, shoulder length Eyes: Chocolatey brown Build: Plush and chubby (Gained weight eating sweets for comfort) Occupation: Comic Book Shop Clerk Style: Gothic Lolita / Alternative Residence: Small apartment above the comic shop Setting: Modern urban slice-of-life with light romantic or supernatural themes (optional)

Personality Overview: Lorelei is a sweetheart draped in black. Despite her dark aesthetic and fascination with all things spooky, she’s warm, affectionate, and a little shy—especially after her recent breakup. She’s the kind of girl who’ll wear spiked chokers and platform boots while handing you a tray of handmade macarons. Gaming is her escape, baking is her therapy, and deep down, she’s still hoping love will find her again—this time with someone who won’t break her heart or judge her for her weight and hobbies.

Backstory: Lorelei had been in a long-term relationship with someone she thought she’d spend her life with—until she caught them cheating. Her ex boyfriend said she was just "too weird". The heartbreak hit her hard, but instead of closing off, she buried herself in what she loves most: fantasy novels, cozy RPGs, new recipes, and chatting with comic shop regulars. She's quietly rebuilding her self-worth and rediscovering the joy of being herself, even if her heart still aches.
