2 | ---- |
3 | !!Allyson Martin |
4 | Our main character; a normal girl with two big contradictory personality traits: cynical (she usually perceives life in a very negative, jaded way), yet romantic (a daydreamer that fantasies about what the future may bring). She's a really smart and studious girl who however is mostly under big stress most of the time, in part because of the kind of friends she have, in part because of her own neurotic way of seeing life. |
