This is how I picture her:
Her name is, for now, Joanie. She had a rough childhood. Her parents were neglectful and abusive. She learned to take care of herself and was out on her own at a young age. She is very independent, resourceful, headstrong, generally responsible and hard-working. She is still outgoing and loves to go out. Her favorite thing to do is sing. At 17, she unwillingly gets involved in a dangerous and abusive relationship with a man named Adrian. The unstable, frightening experience lasts for 4 years until it escalades to a critical point. She runs away with her best friend, Aspen, and becomes nomadic in an attempt to escape her past.
