this is the rhythm of the night

ah Ferris. she's a bit odd sometimes, but I promise she means well. at her core Ferris is just a big fun-loving kid, but obviously she has a mature side when it's necessary. she's very loud and brash so you can usually hear her coming before she walks in. she's almost painfully optimistic at times and even when things go bad she has some Yoda-like wisdom as to why things didn't turn out the way she wanted before carrrying on. her mom walked out on christmas day when she was seven, so you can imagine she's had a lot of practice. there are times when her mouth moves faster than her brain works so there isn't much of a filter; she doesn't think twice about announcing how badly she needs to pee in the company of anybody in earshot. it's just one of her many charming traits.

friends: Ferris has only just moved to L.A., but she's super outgoing. she'll happily walk straight up to somebody and start talking to them. within reason of course, stranger danger is a real thing, kids. she's very adventurous so she'll be wandering around all the time exploring whilst she works out where everything is and she's bound to pick up a boatload of acquaintances along the way. some of these will ideally blossom into friendships of varying degrees. yoga class friends; drinking/party buddies (a love of drunken karaoke is required), close friends, best friends... she works as an illustrator for some kind of design company type of affair so work buddies are also cool. she needs 'em all~ she's a good friend to have because she's very trustworthy and if you call her at 3am from a phone booth she'll come and pick you up. as soon as she finds it. as intuitive as she is, her literal sense of direction isn't always the strongest.

lovers: as I said, she only just moved here so they're going to be kind of limited at first. unless one or two of her exes have coincidentally moved here from Berkley too which would be, uhm, really weird. at the moment I'm looking for one-sided crushes, because seeing her try and reject them in the nicest way possible would be hilarious - I imagine she's unintentionally gotten a tad too flirtatious with them and it gets completely misinterpreted, and some dates that just don't work out for the most random of reasons. a lot of them will just be the one off, at which point they'll either never speak again or stay friends, but I was thinking one of them gets to a third or fourth date and then something happens. like he's just trying to bed her or he's looking for a beard or something. I have no idea. throw me literally any ideas you have~ unfortunately gents, she's not the type to sleep around... very often.

enemies: I just said Ferris is nice to everybody and now I'm going to contradict that. whoops. she tries to be nice to people for as long as possible, but there comes a point where even she begins to struggle. because some people are just assholes, quite frankly. a simmilar effect tends to happen with stubborn people, because if she knows they're wrong and they won't accept it she'll start to tear her hair out until she either gives up or cracks like Gretchen Weiners. and anybody who dares cross her friends will always have Ferris to answer to. you can say what ever you like about her personally and... well. don't expect not to hear about it next time she sees you. but if you say anything about her friends you can expect a knock on the door. don't you dare eat her food, either. off the top of my head I can't think of other reasons why she would have many enemies because there won't be any kind of pre-existing rivalries... this is another one where you can just throw ideas at me! run forth my pretties.
