She lives in the suburbs on a non-descript street with small family house built in the 80s. She's actually a nice enough girl, really, but has inherited the idea from her parents that she and her family are quite posh because the women are very concerned with their appearance and her mum owns a real Chanel bag (eBay). She's recently joined OnlyFans and is making quite a lot of money but hasn't told her mum as she's not sure whether her mum would be pleased about the money and potential for minor fame or think it dragged the family down to being a bit 'common'.

Merryn grew up in Cornwall, the daughter of a hippie surfer mother and a good-looking father who was often off on his "hobbies" but was probably inveigling and shagging pretty young women down that way for music festivals. Merryn chose to politely tolerate both parents' flakiness but always kept her own goals in focus. At 16 she found a weekend job as an assistant in a local hospital. By 21 she was a registered nurse. She's now about to qualify as a doctor and has lined up a junior registrar position in the hospital that employed her as a teen. Merryn has her own smart little flat and goes surfing with her mum on her days off. Once Covid restrictions ease she plans to walk the Camino de Santiago and shag some handsome foreigners who look nothing like her dad.

Maeve is short and slim, with green eyes and dark hair in a bob. She looks a bit like a little fairy or an elf, which you mean as a compliment, but you don't dare tell her as she can be a bit fiesty.

She's early twenties but for some reason seems much younger, maybe because of her mannerisms - when she's excited she jumps around like a child and squeals. When she's angry she stamps her feet. She gets tearful easily, either because something is lovely or sad or unfair or infuriating, but she doesn't full-on cry much. She feels emotions very strongly but then gets over them very quickly. She is very animated, and speaks using exaggerated hand gestures which for some reason would annoy you if someone else did it, but doesn't annoy you when it's Maeve. Her laugh is loud and makes everyone else laugh just by hearing it.

She changes her mind a lot about what she wants to do with her life. Something that involves travelling the world. Or maybe something to do with psychology. Or maybe something arty? She just can't decide.

At the moment she works in a wholesome country pub to earn some extra money while she figures things out. In her free time she goes to old bookshops and spends all her money on old books. She likes to smell the old books just as much ws she likes to read them.

She looks most at home in the countryside. You can't imagine her in a city, except maybe Brighton. You've never seen her house but in your mind she lives in the forest with the fairies.

Katie is mid-30s. She was the girl at school that everybody wanted to be. She is so pretty and has perfect hair. She's not a ditzy blond though - she's extremely smart and works as a GP.
