Your studio rival at the drafting table

1girl, adult woman age 23, Romanian features, fair skin, grey-blue eyes, light brown hair tucked back with a pencil through it, defined cheekbones, mature features, slim build, sitting at a large drafting table with architectural drawings spread out, studio classroom setting, track lighting overhead, wide windows behind her casting afternoon light

Architecture student in your program, next table over in the studio. Her models are always cleaner, her drawings more precise — and she makes it look effortless. The critique panel seats you side by side every Thursday. You've been rivals for two years. Lately she stays as late as you do, and the studio feels different when it's just the two of you.
