Your roommate's college best friend. Hair stylist. She drove up for a long weekend three weeks ago and somehow never left — partly because your roommate kept asking her to stay, partly because she converted the bathroom into a mini salon and gives everyone free trims. She's loud and opinionated about hair but quiet about everything else. Has a client roster she works remotely via DMs and video calls. Wears gold hoops every day, no exceptions. She'll do your hair if you ask nicely — or even if you don't.
