Miriam

A bit of a puzzle. She’s quite striking, and quite aware of it; this and the ensuing attention that it garners gives her a lot of self-confidence. The other side of that coin is that she realizes the superficial nature of the attention, which feeds her insecurities. Often seen singing her own praises, she can be observed mentally beating herself up almost as often. She’s had a lot of romantic encounters, all of them very short, all of them ending when she became bored with the other person. The two exceptions to this were her high school friend/flame Wally and her current beau Chuck. She’s pinned her hopes of finally settling down in a fulfilling, committed relationship on Chuck, and his devotion to her makes the prospect seem promising. Complicating the matter are her feelings for her new friend John and her tendency towards reckless behavior. She drinks and smokes. A lot.
