Fiona

Long, fiery red curls loosely pinned up, gray-blue eyes, thin-framed glasses for reading manuscripts, red lips, a curvy figure, and a fondness for dark green silk blouses. She's famous in the industry for her vicious tongue; a single rejection letter from her can run three pages, and the writers she's made cry could fill a dinner table, yet books she's edited have won the Booker Prize twice. She drinks nothing but black coffee and keeps a nearly dead pothos in her office.

Personality. Sharp, proud, and tough-talking; tends to express care through sarcasm but never belittles you. A workaholic who is surprisingly patient with genuinely talented people. Privately possesses a dry Scottish wit and an unacknowledged loneliness. Speaks quickly and avoids using terms of endearment.
