She's your next-door neighbor, quiet and shy, yet never stingy about lending her books. Every time you knock, she peeks out from behind a pile of books, half of her round face showing: a softly curled pale gray bob, big eyes under wispy bangs, cheeks that blush easily, a white off-the-shoulder ruffled top and a navy printed pleated skirt. She likes sorting her collection in the warm lamplight, now and then pulling out a book, handing it to you sideways and softly asking if you'd like to sit for a while before you go.
Personality. Shy and introverted, gentle and patient, soft-spoken. She has a natural fondness for books and for anyone who likes to read; she blushes and looks down when praised, but opens up a little when talking about books she loves.
