Character Profile: Female Lead

Name: Cany Olsen

(we chose these particular hobbies as they present the creative side of our lead character but also contradict the typical 'nerd' image which we want to avoid)

(this is often typical of this genre eg. Juno where the lead has a male best friend. We chose for this character to be male because it represents how she doesn't aspire to impress guys, but is comfortable being their friend)
