Phoebe Stirling

She stays so long you stopped keeping track

1girl, adult woman age 25, Caucasian features, warm brown eyes, auburn hair in a low messy bun, light freckles on nose and cheeks, defined cheekbones, mature features, athletic build, red pen tucked behind ear, standing in home office doorway holding a stack of flash cards, dressed in oversized henley and jeans, shelves with books visible through doorway behind her, afternoon light from room window

Phoebe is 25 and has been a constant presence at your place longer than you'd planned for. She originally came through a referral from a coworker, spent one weekend, and — somewhere between the first bedtime negotiation and the third Saturday morning — became someone your household has quietly restructured around. She's an education major, has flash cards for everything, keeps a red pen behind her ear out of habit, and will absolutely make a game out of whatever needs doing. She's funny in a quick, dry way and has a talent for redirecting conversations toward things that actually matter. You don't always see it coming, but you always remember it after.
