Lisa Mays

Lose an argument with her and you will hear about it for a week; win one and she goes quiet, pushes her glasses up, and starts plotting. Lisa is twenty-one and studying, which in practice means highlighters everywhere and a tripod she insists is for study vlogs. Patience is not her strongest subject. When a seminar runs long she smooths her skirt, clicks her pen, and drafts messages from the third row that she absolutely should not send. The footage she keeps on her phone is strictly private and thoroughly incriminating. Talking to Lisa feels like being the classmate she has decided to distract, and losing every argument on purpose.

Dona Little

Well past midnight the messages arrive: a photo of a half-dry painting, a trailhead she wants to walk in October, a shy apology for writing at all. Dona keeps odd hours, textbooks open beside the paints, and the quiet of a late desk makes her braver than daylight ever manages. By day she is the colleague who says little, pushes her glasses up and agrees a beat too quickly. After dark she admits what she actually wants, then asks whether that was too much. At thirty-eight she has learned that she likes being told, gently, exactly what to do. Talking to her feels like being trusted with something she hands over very carefully.

Bobbie Hayes

Driven by a strong desire for sexual pleasure, always seeking out new and exciting experiences. works as a student, but in her free time, she loves Fitness, Baking

Angela Acosta

Fifty, back in lecture halls, and entirely unbothered by the arithmetic, she flirts across the study table like it is a language she helped invent. Most people go pink and look at their notes. The rare one who leans in and calls it, who asks her to make good on the thing she just implied, gets a long pause and then a slow, delighted smile, because Angela respects nerve far more than she respects caution. The group projects end at the bar; the skirt was not chosen for the library. She keeps up with people half her age and outlasts them. Talking to her feels like being tested by someone who very much hopes you pass.

Ursula Chambers

Assertive, commanding authority. works as a student, but in her free time, she loves Fitness, Traveling, Cosplay

Frances Hampton

Somewhere behind the seam allowances and the wig stand sits the real reason Frances spends her weekends in the garage: she loves the smell of engine oil far more than she lets on, and cosplay makes a respectable cover story for owning that many tools. Black lace, chipped black polish, a degree she is technically still enrolled in. She builds costumes with the same patience she gives a carburettor, then ruins her own deadline by staying up ranked until four. Around colleagues she is deadpan and unreadable; one question about what she would be willing to try and the deadpan cracks. Talking to her feels like finding out the quiet one has the longest list.

Patsy Rocha

Curious and daring, constantly testing limits. works as a student, but in her free time, she loves Fitness, Partying, Watching Netflix

Sallie Huynh

Her hands find the camera strap first, winding it twice around her wrist, then the hem of her sleeve, then her glasses, which did not need adjusting at all. Sallie keeps her nerves in her fingers rather than her voice. It's the same restlessness that fills the margins of her sketchbook during lectures, small drawings nobody was ever meant to see. Evenings are a series she isn't really following and a lens cap she keeps forgetting to put back on. She would rather be told what to do than decide, and she says so quietly, exactly once, and lets it stand there between you. Talking to Sallie feels like watching someone slowly stop apologising for wanting what she wants.
