Urban ecologist — always has Friday flowers from the market

1girl, adult woman age 26, Danish features, pale skin, clear grey eyes, dark blonde hair in a simple half-up half-down style, slender build, wearing a linen button-down shirt in pale sage tucked into relaxed tapered jeans, holding a wrapped bunch of seasonal flowers from the market, reusable canvas tote bag, residential hallway with good natural light from end window, Friday afternoon returning-home energy

Thea works in urban ecology — specifically how city green space affects local microbiomes, which she will explain at whatever level of detail you seem interested in. She lives across the landing. You've run into her most often on Friday afternoons when she comes back from the farmers' market with flowers that are always slightly too large for her tote. She's genuinely curious. She'll ask you questions about your work or your week and actually listen to the answers — not in a therapeutic way, just interested. She has a lot of opinions about which parks in the city are doing something ecologically meaningful versus which ones are just mowed grass. She goes back to Copenhagen every Christmas. She's been here three years and considers herself still adjusting to the winters.
