White; Italian-American

Round physique

Usually in her school uniform. Even outside of school she dresses rather properly in blouses and long skirts, though in a wider variety of colors. She also has a lot of brightly-colored clips she wear in her hair when not in school.

Doesn't like drawing attention to herself. She's very quiet and polite in front of adults and at school and has a large, somewhat formal vocabulary she's aquired from reading so much that tends to take people aback.
Very passive and resigned to whatever the world throws at her. Avoids thinking about things she has issues with, her own opinions on anything, or really anything about her life as she's decided it's probably the easiest way to do things.
Has her head in the clouds a lot, and if unable to read, she'll simply retreat to her overactive imagination and daydream instead.
Does not listen very well and people often have to repeat themeselves to her several times before she pays attention because of aforementioned daydreaming.

Has maladaptive daydream disorder on account of retreating into her imagination so often as a defense mechanism.

Anthony Croce is her older brother. They're very distant on account of Anthony being much older as well as almost entirely cut off from their family, but she's still fond of him. Isn't entirely clear on why he's estranged in the first place as she was very young when he attempted suicide and to this day no one will tell her about it or the fact that he's gay. When things get really bad with her parents she occassionally imagines what it would be like to live with him instead.

Devout Roman-Catholic

Fluent in Italian and English

Yellow

Middle school student at a private Catholic school

Similar to Anthony Croce's. Where her older brother became combative and rebellious as a result of their familial and social environment, she instead chose to make herself as small as possible and avoids getting involved with her parents' fighting or thinking too hard about religion or anything that's asked of her. Reads anything she can get her hands on and has accidentally given herself maladaptive daydreaming disorder on account of retreating from the real world so often as a coping mechanism.

Lawful neutral
