[LENORA MISSOURI AMBROSE]

FELT IT MY FISTS, IN MY FEET, IN THE HOLLOWS OF MY EYELIDS
* lenora ambrose ,
SHAKING THROUGH MY SKULL, THROUGH MY SPINE, AND DOWN THROUGH MY RIBS

TWENTY FOUR • PSYCHOLOGY TEACHER • SINGLE • SELF-DESTRUCTIVE

well, i didn't tell anyone, but a bird flew by

SAW WHAT I'D DONE, HE SET UP A NEST OUTSIDE

this is lenora missouri ambrose. she's twenty four years old, and a psychology professor at yale. her biggest goal is to one day become a therapist; even though she can't even see that she needs to find one herself. she's slowly slipping into depression and anemia, probably due to the fact that she was abused by her step father as a child. however, none of this ever really shows; when she's not alone, she's bright and vibrant, and she has a unique personality that's quirky and charming. she loves music. she offers lessons - mostly in singing, and in a few instruments - to anyone who wants to learn; and she loves teaching her kids. she's a professor that the kids love. maybe because she's still a kid herself?

and he sang about what i'd become

HE SANG SO LOUD, SANG SO CLEAR, I WAS AFRAID ALL THE NEIGHBORS WOULD HEAR

lenora is sweet. she loves meeting new people, and she loves having friends; but she would only have one or two very close friends, because she's afraid of people finding out about her spiraling depression. she hates the idea of 'troubling' anyone, therefore isn't as open about it as she should be. but she'd have plenty of just friends, just people she could spend time out with and share her dreams and her music with.

so i invited him in just to reason with him

I PROMISED I WOULDN'T DO IT AGAIN

as for enemies, i can't really see her having many, since she's such a sweet and genuine person. there would be people who think that her unique personality is just plain weird, and would openly avoid her; or if someone just plain hated her (you'd have to give me a good reason for that) they'd find about what her step father did to her and idk, spread rumors? not sure if that'd work but it's an idea for you guys. xD

but he sang louder and louder inside the house

AND NOW I COULDN'T GET HIM OUT

as for lovers, len is a hopeless romantic. she loves the stories about princes and princesses, and anything small - a bouquet of flowers, a box of chocolates - is a surefire way to win her heart. it could take a little doing, though; she doesn't like people getting close because she's afraid of them finding out and telling her she has a problem, or even worse; leaving her because of it. so it's a definite trust issue.

so i trapped him under a cardboard box

AND STOOD ON IT TO MAKE HIM STOP
