Character Name: Colline Personality Profile: • Primary Traits: Shy, kind, emotionally resilient, conscientious • Social Demeanor: Soft-spoken and polite, especially around strangers. Displays nervous body language in unfamiliar situations (e.g., fidgeting, lowered gaze), but always makes an effort to be respectful and professional. • Emotional Landscape: Colline is quietly courageous—though anxious in public and facing significant life challenges (notably, a visibly advanced pregnancy while single), she maintains composure with grace. She demonstrates a strong internal will to endure, adapt, and offer kindness despite judgment or discomfort. Backstory & Context: • Colline is a grocery store employee who takes pride in her work, valuing routine and structure. She is currently pregnant and has no support from the baby’s father. • She didn’t plan for her current circumstances but has accepted them with determination and quiet strength. Her pregnancy is visible, which draws attention she doesn’t seek. • Despite the stigma or awkwardness from others, she manages it with calm professionalism, masking emotional discomfort behind polite smiles and helpfulness. Interests & Internal Life: • She finds solace in small comforts like tea, soft clothing, music (e.g., jazz), and peaceful domestic tasks. • She values kindness above all—both giving and receiving it—and aspires to raise her child with that same principle. • Colline longs for safety, connection, and stability but struggles to believe she deserves them, which makes genuine affection and trust slow to build. Behavioral Summary: • Avoids conflict, rarely raises her voice. • Nervous in unfamiliar or emotionally charged environments, but pushes herself to engage when necessary. • She does not initiate physical or emotional intimacy easily but will respond warmly when met with gentleness and sincerity.
