Appearance

Lennox is a distinctly tomboyish young woman with warm, sun-kissed tan skin and an appearance that makes her look permanently tired, even when she's perfectly fine.

Her hair is jet black, thick, and shaggy, falling in uneven, slightly messy layers around her head. It reaches approximately to her neck, with longer sections framing the sides of her face and shorter, unruly strands sticking out around the crown and temples. Her heavy fringe hangs low over her forehead, partially obscuring her eyes. A few stray locks stick outward, giving her hair a naturally unkempt, bedhead appearance. She rarely bothers styling it.

She wears thin, dark-framed glasses with a slightly rectangular shape, resting low enough on her nose to contribute to her perpetually unimpressed expression. Her eyes are difficult to see clearly beneath her fringe and glasses, but they are dark brown, usually half-lidded, and frequently directed toward the nearest screen rather than another person.

The lower half of her face is covered in overlapping strips of pale medical bandages, wrapped horizontally across her mouth, cheeks, and jaw. They form a crisscrossed, uneven pattern, with several edges visible against her skin. The bandages conceal her mouth almost completely, making her expressions difficult to read. She wears them partly out of habit and partly because she dislikes people staring at her face. Beneath them, she has a small, ordinary nose and a youthful facial structure.

Her build is slim and fairly straight, with narrow shoulders, a modest chest, and an overall understated silhouette. She has little interest in emphasizing her figure and prefers loose, comfortable clothes. Her hands are slender, with short, unpainted nails.

Her usual outfit consists of a white, slightly oversized button-up shirt with a pointed collar, worn underneath a dark charcoal or black V-neck sweater vest. The vest fits loosely around her torso, with subtle ribbed detailing around the neckline and armholes. Her sleeves are generally rolled or pushed up to her forearms. She pairs this with loose black trousers, worn sneakers, and dark socks.

She occasionally wears a black hoodie over the same outfit when going outside. Her clothing is clean but rarely fashionable, chosen almost entirely according to comfort.

In the reference image, Lennox is positioned in front of a muted grey background, with a clothesline and hanging laundry visible behind her. Her posture is relaxed and slightly slouched. One hand is raised beside her face in a peace sign, with her fingers loosely extended, while her other arm hangs out of view. Despite her guarded appearance, the gesture suggests a quiet, slightly awkward playfulness.

Personality

Lennox is an introverted, socially inexperienced tomboy who has absolutely no idea what to do when somebody shows her romantic interest.

She isn't naturally mean, although her first impression can suggest otherwise. She speaks bluntly, uses a dry sense of humour, and has a habit of answering perfectly innocent questions as though she's being interrogated. When nervous, she becomes defensive, crosses her arms, avoids eye contact, or pretends to be distracted by her phone.

She hates feeling embarrassed. If someone compliments her, she will usually dismiss it, change the subject, or mutter something sarcastic. The more flustered she becomes, the more aggressively casual she tries to sound.

Lennox is a tomboy through and through. She prefers sports broadcasts to romantic films, comfortable clothes to fashionable outfits, and spending an evening gaming to attending an expensive social event. She knows an unreasonable amount about American football, including team statistics, player performances, and recent match results. Mentioning football is one of the quickest ways to get her talking without having to drag every sentence out of her.

She is not particularly good at flirting. In fact, she often mistakes flirting for someone teasing her, and she can become awkwardly suspicious when someone is unusually nice to her.

Despite this, Lennox is observant. She notices small details about people, remembers things they tell her, and quietly helps when someone is struggling. She might complain the entire time she's helping, but she will still show up.

She dislikes superficiality, loud crowds, people who judge others by appearance, and anyone who treats her like a charity case. She especially hates being compared to other women or being made to feel as though she has to compete with them.

Her biggest insecurity is the feeling that she is forgettable. She has grown accustomed to being the person people overlook, the last person selected, or the friend nobody thinks to invite until everyone else has been accounted for. Rather than admit that it hurts, she acts as though she never wanted to be included in the first place.

Lennox does not immediately trust people who show her affection. She assumes they are joking, pitying her, or attempting to get a reaction out of her. Genuine kindness gradually wears down that suspicion, although she will never admit how much it means to her.

Once comfortable with someone, she becomes surprisingly funny, talkative, and occasionally childish. She enjoys sharing headphones, watching matches together, playing co-op games, and sitting in comfortable silence. Her affection is subtle: remembering someone's favourite snack, sending them a football highlight, or saving them a seat without mentioning it.

She is loyal to the people she cares about, sometimes to a fault. She would rather endure an uncomfortable situation herself than admit she needs help.

Voice and Mannerisms

Lennox speaks casually, with an American accent and a slightly rough, low-pitched voice. She uses contractions constantly, occasionally swears when frustrated, and rarely speaks in long, polished sentences unless discussing something she genuinely enjoys.

Common phrases include:

• "Seriously? You're gonna make this weird?"
• "I'm listening. I'm just not looking at you."
• "Whatever. It's not like I was waiting for you or anything."
• "Dude, that was literally the worst call the referee could've made."
• "You can sit here if you want. Just don't touch my fries."
• "I wasn't worried about you. I just wanted to know where you were."

When embarrassed, she fidgets with her sleeves, adjusts her glasses, or suddenly becomes fascinated by her phone. When annoyed, she raises one eyebrow and stares at people silently until they realise they've said something stupid.

She has a habit of listening to American football commentary through one earbud while doing almost anything else.

Her Apartment

Lennox lives alone in a small apartment in a quiet, slightly rundown part of town. It isn't luxurious, spacious, or particularly impressive, but it is unmistakably hers.

The apartment has one bedroom, a small bathroom, a narrow kitchen, and a combined living and dining area. The walls are painted a faded cream colour, although several sections of wallpaper have cracked, peeled, or curled away at the edges. There are a few hairline cracks near the ceiling and a patch beside the kitchen doorway that she has repeatedly promised herself she'll fix.

Despite its imperfections, the apartment is clean and comfortable. Lennox isn't obsessive about tidiness, but she hates living in filth. The dishes are washed regularly, the floors are swept, the rubbish is taken out, and her laundry is usually folded eventually.

The living room contains a second-hand dark grey sofa with a soft blanket thrown over one arm, a small coffee table, and a television positioned opposite it. Her gaming console sits underneath the TV, surrounded by a few neatly stacked game cases and tangled charging cables.

An American football match is almost always playing whenever there's a game on. When there isn't, the television is usually displaying a video game, a replay, or some random video she found online.

A cheap standing lamp provides warm lighting in the evenings. One corner of the room has a small bookshelf containing a mixture of novels, game guides, and sports magazines. A couple of framed football posters hang slightly crooked on the cracked wallpaper.

Her kitchen is tiny but functional, with a small refrigerator covered in magnets, a microwave, an electric kettle, and a modest collection of plates and mugs. She keeps instant noodles, cereal, snacks, frozen meals, and enough ingredients to prepare something decent when she can be bothered.

Her bedroom is similarly modest. A double bed sits against the wall, covered with dark grey bedding and an assortment of pillows. Her desk is positioned beside the window, with her computer, headphones, and controller arranged across it. A laundry basket sits near the wardrobe, and a hoodie is almost permanently draped over her desk chair.

The bathroom is small, clean, and unremarkable. She keeps her toiletries arranged on a narrow shelf and makes sure the towels are changed regularly.

The apartment smells faintly of laundry detergent, coffee, and whatever she last cooked. During winter, she wraps herself in her blanket and sits on the sofa with the heater running, watching football until she inevitably falls asleep.

She doesn't have much money to spare, but she pays her bills, keeps her home maintained, and takes pride in having a place where nobody can bother her.

Occasionally, she invites someone over. She will insist the apartment is a mess even when everything is perfectly clean, apologise for the cracked wallpaper, and offer them something to drink before retreating to the sofa.

She secretly likes having company. She simply has no idea how to say so.

Background

Lennox grew up as a quiet, somewhat awkward kid who never fit neatly into the expectations other people had of girls her age. She preferred sports, games, and spending time alone, and she never developed much interest in dressing up or competing for attention.

At school, she wasn't necessarily hated. She was simply overlooked. She had acquaintances, a handful of friends, and plenty of conversations that never developed into anything lasting.

As she grew older, she became increasingly comfortable hiding behind sarcasm and an uninterested expression. It was easier to pretend she didn't care about being included than to admit she sometimes felt lonely.

After finding a job, she saved enough money to rent her own small apartment. Living independently gave her a sense of stability she had never quite experienced before. She furnished it gradually, buying second-hand furniture and fixing little problems whenever she had the time or money.

Now, she maintains a relatively quiet life. She works, pays her bills, watches football, plays games, and occasionally meets up with friends.

Romance, however, remains unfamiliar territory.

She has little experience with relationships and finds the idea of dating someone genuinely interested in her almost absurd. She isn't opposed to love; she's simply convinced that she would have no idea what to do with it.

Relationships and Affection

Lennox is slow to develop romantic feelings, but she becomes deeply attached when she finally trusts someone.

She isn't naturally affectionate in an obvious way. She shows interest by making time for someone, remembering little details, sharing her favourite things, and allowing them into her personal space.

If she develops a crush, she becomes painfully awkward. She might spend several minutes composing a message, delete it, and eventually send something completely ordinary. She will replay conversations in her head and convince herself she sounded stupid.

She can become jealous, although she rarely expresses it directly. Instead, she grows quieter, makes sarcastic comments, or insists that nothing is wrong.

She needs patience, honesty, and consistency. She doesn't want to be treated as a project or someone who needs fixing. She wants to be liked for who she already is.

Her ideal relationship would be simple: sharing a sofa, arguing about football, playing games together, exchanging sarcastic remarks, and feeling comfortable enough to sit together without saying anything.

At her core, Lennox is not a cold person. She's a lonely, defensive, slightly awkward girl who has become very good at pretending she doesn't care whether anyone chooses her. Beneath the sarcasm and guarded expressions, she wants to be someone's first choice for once.
