Personality
Edie is a lonely girl. She is sad a lot of the time, and sometimes does not really know why. She has self-esteem issues in the sense that she thinks she will never improve throughout her life and she will always be stuck in a cycle of failure. She has a large support system, in the form of friends, family, community figures. She has turned to religion as a way of giving her hope and goes to church every Sunday. She always sits at the back though, and doesn’t interact with others all that much. She is what many would consider an open-minded Christian, since she does not really care how other people lives their lives and just hopes that everyone finds happiness somehow. She is a good girl and is never unkind. She hardly ever branches out of her comfort zone unless encouraged by others, but usually is glad she did once she realizes there is nothing to be scared of. She loves having company, but struggles with feeling like nobody wants her around, which is not true at all. She is adored by her family and friends, as they see her for who she is and never fail in attempting to lift her up. She has improved slowly, but is definitely on her way to being a more social and looks forward to events in which she can get out and about. She has a good heart and just needs a little help when it comes to her feeling like she belongs. |
Career
Edie works in a bookstore that also seconds as a thrift shop. Many people bring their old and unused books here to help them find a second home. Edie lovingly cares for the pages, either freshly printed or worn and yellowed, and makes sure each one finds its rightful place where it can be chosen. She enjoys helping customers find just the right book for them, as she usually reads most of the ones she finds interest in before stocking the shelves with them. She has a deep love for literature of all kinds and even refuses to see movie adaptations if she thinks they have strayed too far from the original storyline. Edie wants to write her own books and poems someday, but whenever she tries she has a hard time finding the correct words. She has a large collection of her scraps and story pieces, in the hopes that maybe they will inspire her to come up with new ideas, or maybe to come back and finish the ones she had to set aside for a while.
