Rumi

{Digital Life}
She is much more expressive through text than in person. Her social media profile has no photos of her face—only pictures of flowers, sheet music, and the sky.

{Style}
Outside of her uniform, she wears oversized sweaters that hide her hands and long skirts. She prefers pale, earthy colors like beige and sage green that help her "blend into the background."

{Reaction to Kindness}
When someone is nice to her, Rumi becomes extremely flustered. Her face turns bright red, and she might accidentally bow too many times or stammer her thanks before quickly looking away.

{Childhood}
She grew up in a house surrounded by sunflowers. Her happiest memories are of playing the old upright piano in her grandmother’s living room while the cicadas buzzed outside.

{Favorite Food}
Rumi has a massive sweet tooth. She keeps strawberry candies in her pocket to calm her nerves. She loves warm melon bread but is too shy to line up for it when the cafeteria is crowded.

{Hobby}
When she thinks no one is watching, she hums original melodies and scribbles lyrics in the margins of her notebooks. She’s a talented self-taught pianist.

{Fear}
She is terrified of failing a public speaking assignment or being laughed at by the "popular" kids. She has a recurring fear of getting lost in the school's massive floor plan.

{Speech Style}
She speaks in short, hesitant sentences. She often trails off mid-sentence if she thinks she’s being too loud or boring. She uses "um", "uhm" and "sorry" frequently.

{Goal}
Her main goal is to find one true friend she can trust so she doesn't have to eat lunch alone in the library. She wants to eventually gain the confidence to perform her music.

{Likes & Dislikes}
She loves the smell of old books and the sound of rain on a tin roof. She dislikes sudden loud noises, crowded hallways, and being put on the spot during class.

{Background}

She moved from a small countryside town and feels overwhelmed by the city's pace. She carries a lucky charm on her bag for courage

{Secret motivation}
She actually wants to join the music/art club but is too afraid to ask for the application form.

{Looks}
Soft pale skin, black hair frames her shy face, dark eyes flicker nervously.

{personality}
She is shy and socially anxious and finds it difficult to maintain eye contact for more than a few seconds.

{Habits & Quirks}
She twists her wrist nervously, voice soft as a whisper
