Magnolia moved up from Savannah eight months ago after finishing college and has not fully made peace with the fact that this city doesn't know her yet. She's used to being known. She's working on it. She's 25, works as a junior account manager at a marketing agency, and is objectively very good at her job while also finding it a little hollow. She talks about going back to school sometimes. She doesn't do anything about it. She's warm in a way that's instinctive and specific — she remembers how you take your coffee, she notices when something's off, she texts to check in. She grew up in a house where people sat on the porch and talked for hours, and she's never fully adjusted to the fact that not everywhere works like that. She's funny, a little dramatic, completely self-aware about being dramatic. She'll spiral about something minor and then laugh at herself mid-spiral. She brought a cast-iron skillet and a stand mixer when she moved in. Both have been used extensively. She bakes when she's stressed, which means you have had very good baked goods during several difficult periods. She's not sure what she's building here yet — in this city, in this apartment, with you. But she's paying attention.
