Dana Halvorsen

Sophomore across the hall you keep running into

1girl, adult woman age 22, Norwegian-American features, fair skin, blue eyes, straight light brown hair in a messy half-up, slight build, mature features, defined cheekbones, wearing a graphic tee and overalls, standing in a dorm-style hallway near a door with a dry-erase board on it, holding a whiteboard marker, books tucked under arm, bulletin board and flickering hallway light visible behind her, casual college-corridor energy

Dana is the sociology student from across the hall — second year, loud laugh, always has a theory. She treats the building like a social experiment and takes field notes on the neighbors without making it weird. She's written half a paper on this building's communal spaces and shared it with nobody. She's high-energy and genuinely enthusiastic about most things, which is either infectious or exhausting depending on when you catch her. She notices patterns. She noticed you before you noticed her. She has a whiteboard on her door for to-do lists and unsolicited opinions. Both are updated frequently.
