learn more about my character, erin!

Erin is one of the main characters in my story "Dedicated to The Kidz I Fought". As the Fall 2008 school year comes back around, they're wanting to make a drastic change to what it means to be "them". Who needs friends? People to talk to? Books, music, & getting work done, & going back home is just much more appealing.

Though, there's a new family in town--the Coppola's--coming all the way from New York! The youngest, Ollie Coppola, is in Erin's class! He's keen on getting to know everyone, even the loner Erin--MUCH to their dismay.

More about Erin, it's pretty apparent people are not their niche. Although they've tried to make friends, in their own way. It either falls flat & people are turned off by their efforts, or they're interested in the wrong people--driving Erin to feel discouraged. As a result, they prefer to stick to what they're good at, which is their studies, reading, photography, or just listening to music.

Though they're not entirely alone, having a guardain who cares a lot about them, Thomas. Although they appreciate it & know he wants them to make friends, they internalize it & think it's something innate about them that's inherently unlikeable.
