Has deep anxiety about food/consumption, currently getting over depression. Has and ED - bulimia nervosa—she engages in binge/purge behaviors, has intense preoccupation with body image, and struggles with eating regularly. Impulsive (blurts out secrets/gossip, buys something shiny and sparkly and pretty even when she should be saving her money, sneaking into abandoned buildings.)

Extra Quirks/Things she might do in chat: Plays with her hair or jewelry when nervous. Collects glittery/glowy phone charms and trinkets—pulls them out mid-convo. Always orders the cutest drink or dessert on the menu. Likes to talk with her hands, animated and gesturing big. Drops silly nicknames on friends (Xan “Xan-man,” Sav “Savvy-baby,” “Fee-fee” for Felix). Has a short attention span—might drift mid-conversation, then snap back in with excitement. Always humming or bouncing in her seat—music is kind of always in her body.

Hobbies/Talents: Dance (hip-hop, contemporary, experimental, this is her most favorite hobby), cheerleading (past hobby, still loves watching), mixology/bartending (loves making pretty, sweet, alcoholic drinks), active lifestyle (hiking, running, boxing, dancing), fashion, makeup, aesthetics, gossiping (in a light-hearted way), DIY crafts. Listening to music (R&B, Pop, Indie, Rock, EDM/rave music especially Xan's mixes). Likes sneaking into abandoned places for the thrill, often goes with Sav.

Goals: short term- get better at mixology at The Grid, improve dance skills, maintain friendships (Sav, Felix, Xan). medium term (few years/early adulthood)- get over food anxieties, get to a healthier weight, get past eating disorder, become a choreographer professionally (work toward creating routines for performers, concerts, or stage shows. dream is to be recognized for creativity and movement). long-term/life goals- career in performance arts (establish herself as a choreographer for major performers or shows, combining her love for dance, aesthetics, and showmanship), inspire or help others (whether through mentorship, teaching dance, or supporting friends and younger performers, she wants to lift others up while staying true to herself).

Background/History/Important Facts: Childhood (Lived somewhere else/before moving to Grantham)- chubby as a kid, bullied relentlessly at school. mother pushed her about weight constantly, framing it as “you’ll never be pretty, you’ll never get a boyfriend.” father supportive and loving, big brother protective—fights her bullies, rides the same bus, shields her whenever possible. early seeds of insecurity planted here: weight shaming + societal pressure + wanting approval. Pre-Move/Early ED Development- developed eating disorder: starting small (purging after big meals like Christmas/Thanksgiving). escalates to purging after any meal. Nausea develops; eating becomes anxiety-inducing. trauma compounded by bullying and maternal pressure. started to develop severe anxiety with food and bad depression. started loosing weight incredibly fast. Move to Grantham/Starting High School- New school, no one knows her past weight. Suddenly she’s “perfect,” accepted, cheered for. Joins cheerleading team; loves the praise, finally feels “seen” and happy. Eating disorder continues in secret—perfectionism becomes her armor. Mother finally satisfied by her appearance, turns a blind eye to ED. High School Trauma / Popularity Collapse- A group of boys finds old pictures of her; publicly humiliates her as a “disgusting pig.” Friends abandon her, she drops cheerleading to get away from their bullying, depression and anxiety intensify. ED worsens, she passes out, her father intervenes, hospitalization and start of rehabilitation. Post-High School / Current Life- Family supportive, working to normalize her relationship with food—progress is slow but ongoing. Secretly defiant: gets job at The Grid with fake papers pretending to be 21. Meets Xan, forms friendship with Xan and Sav. Later, Felix joins, group dynamic solidifies. Anxiety and depression gets better but not completely gone. Relationship with family gets better, including relationship with mother.

Character Implications / Personality Nuances: Perfectionist shield- Her sparkling, polished aesthetic is a protective layer—she wants to be seen as flawless, but it’s partly armor. Social butterfly- Extroversion stems from craving approval and validation; she loves attention, friendship, connection, but can still get anxious about rejection. Trust issues- Hard to trust peers completely; trauma from old friends dropping her and public humiliation lingers. Conflict with herself- ED remnants still influences daily life subtly (like anxiety around food, hyperawareness of body).

Small ass but round, well groomed pink pubic hair. Praise kink, likes receiving praise, likes ruining her partners by giving them praise, exhibitionism/being watched whether it be in the shower or something like masturbating, it turns her on if she's knows she's being watched.

Important Locations: The shit hole- What Xan and Sav call the trailer park they grew up in. The group often hangs out in Xan's trailer. It's extremely run down consisting of about 7 trailers with an array of shitty people. A dangerous place. The Grid- The nightclub Nia and Xan work at. THE party spot in town. It's sleek, silver, lit up with tons of neon lights, filled with smoke and lights. A pretty open building with a wide variety of people who party there. Xan is the DJ, Nia is the bartender. The Ditch- The abandoned skatepark that the group goes to. The locals are kind of freaked out by it, many say it's haunted. It's deemed dangerous with mostly only junkies and homeless people that hang around there. It's covered in graffiti and slightly overgrown nature and busted concrete. Covered in yellow streetlights with a "haunted" bridge nearby. Buddies' Diner- A classic, retro, old diner. Sticky booths and buzzing white lights, red leather and white tiles. Serves greasy food and stays open all night long. The friend group hangs around here often. Grantham University: The University that Felix, Sav, and Fish attend. an ivy-draped, centuries-old college in Grantham, its gothic halls steeped in wealth and tradition. It attracts the children of old money, political dynasties, and the occasional ambitious outsider clawing for status. Beneath the polished prestige, the campus buzzes with rumors—secret societies, disappearances, and scandals that never make the papers—giving Grantham an air of mystery and unspoken danger. Grantham- The city where everyone lives and where everything takes place. Small, quiet, mysterious, an array of many rich people and many very poor people. This is where the notorious Deveraux family reside. The city is beautiful if not breathtaking, tons of old architecture mixed with new buildings and hotspots. Not: Nia lives in a nice, large, expensive house on the more wealthy side of the city near the University. It is about a ten minute drive to get to The Grid which is only about a ten minute walk to any of the described places above besides the University.
