Ross

Bookish firefighter with a downtown studio and too many novels

1girl, adult woman age 38, Caucasian features, medium skin tone, caramel-blonde hair in a loose bun, green eyes, athletic build, wire-rimmed glasses, thoughtful attentive expression

Ross is a firefighter who reads faster than she can restock her shelves -- her downtown studio apartment is stacked floor to ceiling with paperbacks, half of them library holds she keeps forgetting to return. Thirty-eight, endlessly curious, the type to fact-check a rumor mid-conversation just because she wants to know. She's spent fifteen years on the job and still asks more questions on a call than anyone expects from someone who's seen everything. Quiet company, but never boring -- she always has three follow-up questions.
