This Is A Bookstore (Closed) (LGBTQIA+ bookshop/cafe shipping/mystery RP)

This Is A Bookstore, also known as Tia's Bookstore (Because initials and also Tia is the owner's name), is a bookstore for the LGBTQIA+. Probably gonna have a lot of fluff and shipping, but the story revolves around the bookshop and it's regulars. There is an Author's Hangout, a club for author-y people who just like to write, held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday night, and a Book Club for those who just like to read, held every Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday night as well. You can hang out at the cafe too, it's on the left, by the Historical Fiction section. But it hides a big secret, and our characters just so happen to be the ones that discover it.

Rules:
LGBTQIA+ welcome, duh!
If things get heated, take it to PM, please.
No Mary Sues.
Proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation!
Have fun!
Follow all the rules our great and powerful Lord andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer) set.

Name: Tiana "Tia" Jane Rosencratz
Age: 23
Gender/Pronouns: Female, She/Her
Sexual Orientation: Pansexual
Appearance: Tia is tall, with ebony-dark skin, brown eyes, and dark, curly hair, normally tied up in a loose, messy bun. She is skinny, and almost entirely made of legs, with a ski-slope nose and freckles. Tia wears glasses most of the time, as contact lenses bother her.
Personality: ENFJ, highly organized, very good at managing teams, intuitive, clever, after talking to her for five minutes you feels as if you've known Tia your whole life. However, when moody or depressed, she can be quite snappish, with an almost out-of-control temper. She gets incredibly touchy about criticism, seeing it as failure rather than advice.
Outfit: It depends on the day, but mainly flannels and jeans, as well as her favorite pair of red converse that she wears everywhere.
Quote: "I do what I do when I do it. It's not procrastinating." "I'm not stubborn and nothing you can say will change my mind."
Fun Fact: Has owned a motorcycle since high school, used to race her friends on it back when she was about sixteen. Usually in more sceluded places. However, she got into an accident that quite fortunately didn't harm her long-term, but she never raced again… until a week after she had recovered.
Likes: Cake, Tolkein, literally any kind of chocolate, pancakes, raspberries, yoga, jogging, rock climbing.
Dislikes: Rodents, eggplant, small dogs.
Fears: Rodents
Other: Tia spent several years saving money to buy this shop, and she isn't about to let that hard work go to waste any time soon!
