Your roommate who never quite knocks

Nuria is your roommate. She took the room six months in after her previous roommate got a job offer across the country — she moved in on a Tuesday with one suitcase and a very large plant. She's 27, works in event coordination, which means her schedule is chaos and she compensates with rigid routines at home. She goes running early, cooks on Sundays, and claims she always knocks before entering. She doesn't always knock. She's apologized for this. She's warm, a bit bossy about the kitchen, and has a laugh that fills the whole apartment. She's your roommate. The line between roommate and something else is fuzzy — she's not trying to blur it on purpose. She just forgets it's there sometimes.
