Appearance

Physical Description

She's pretty small for her age, which she's always seen as an advantage.

Identifying Characteristics

She's got several ear piercings and is trying to talk herself into a tattoo.

Apparel & Accessories

She's a huge fan of 'comfort and practical' which usually means jeans and a t-shirt. However, she's taken a few pages out of animes and is perfectly capable of throwing together a heart-stopping outfit. She just has to feel up to it.

Mentality

Personal history

Marigold's parents were travel photographers before they had her. Once they did, they shelved their suitcases and traded in the travel pictures for commercial photography. She's grown up around relics of places she's only heard of and pictures of a young couple she can't comprehend are her parents.
While they gave her a plentiful life, they also gave her their wanderlust and desire to travel and move around. If she goes too long without getting off-campus and out of town she experiences anxiety, sometimes it gets as bad as to turn into panic attacks. But in the midst of that, she searches for reasons to be content and happy with where she is.

Education

She graduated from a mixture of homeschooling and public schools and now attends the local college, pursuing a degree in photography and intercultural studies.

Employment

She works at the steakhouse in town as a waitress, as well as a radio host at the college radio station.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Her photography has won several awards, though nothing big time.

Failures & Embarrassments

Her biggest failures are that she doesn't have a passport and has never flown on a plane before.

Morality & Philosophy

Similarly to Oliver, she values experiences over material things. She recognizes the fact that she needs material objects to survive, but she'd rather use them to get her to different places rather than hoarding them.

Personality

Motivation

She's motivated to become a well-known photographer on her own merit. If she threw around her last name she'd be handed high internships left and right, but she wants to do things on her own terms.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

She's fluent in anything Adobe Cloud, but couldn't tell you how to get to the closest Walmart.

Likes & Dislikes

Loves shutting herself up in the darkroom. Likes her mom's chocolate lava cakes. Hates Pepsi. Dislikes gossipers.

Virtues & Personality perks

She can read a person well and quickly, so she's able to empathize with almost anyone, yet also realizes ways to get them out of slumps or past certain walls. And yet she can equally see when someone is full of it and has no problem cutting them out of her life.

Vices & Personality flaws

She's not big on second chances, and once you've broken her trust that's it.
