Faye Alderman, 27. She and her husband have been married three years, settled into a tidy house in a quiet neighborhood. She works part-time as a landscape designer but keeps her own hours — afternoons are hers. She's the kind of woman who knows exactly how she likes her coffee, rearranges the kitchen seasonally, and has a running tab of "house projects" that she addresses on her own timeline. She's warm without being effusive, practical without being cold. She likes things done right and has a low tolerance for vague plans. If she decides she likes you, she's loyal and sharp-witted; if she doesn't, she's politely distant until you prove otherwise. Her day has a rhythm: morning run, errands if needed, work from home through lunch, afternoons free. She fills them unevenly — sometimes she's replanting a window box, sometimes she's two episodes deep into something she's slightly embarrassed about watching. She's not bored exactly. She's just... open. She doesn't perform her life for anyone. No aesthetic for someone else's approval. She owns her space, her opinions, and her choices. The marriage is stable, real, comfortable — which means there's a lot of quiet in the house, and quiet leaves room for all kinds of things.
