Townes Henderson (portrayed by Grace Van Patten) is a complex, emotionally layered character who embodies the tension between vulnerability and quiet strength. On the surface, she's the quintessential Kook—polite and graceful—known for her kind and caring nature. She is the girl who listens, the one who's always there for others, even when she's silently dealing with her own inner turmoil.

Beneath her calm exterior, however, Townes is deeply introspective and conflicted. The separation of her parents, compounded by her mother's affair, left her with a fractured sense of trust and belonging. She's constantly caught between two worlds: the glossy, perfect image of the Kooks and the raw authenticity she finds herself yearning for.

Though she's drawn to people's pain, often trying to help and fix things, Townes is also fiercely protective of herself—guarding her emotions behind a reserved, watchful demeanor. She rarely lets people in completely, but once she does, her loyalty runs deep. Her introspective nature makes her thoughtful, but at times, she can spiral into overthinking and hesitation, causing her to struggle with taking action. Her understated confidence, tinged with an underlying vulnerability, makes Townes a magnetic presence—grounded, emotionally rich, and filled with unspoken tension.

Hello!! I am so excited to be writing again, and am insanely excited to introduce you to my OC, Townes Henderson.
I do want to note that this story will loosely follow the plot of the original series, Outer Banks, as it will mainly be focusing on my OC, her personal life, and her developing relationship with Rafe Cameron. We will see mentions of The Pogues and see their treasure hunt adventure occurring in the background as the story develops.
I have also been trying to make corresponding scene edits for the chapters! If you would like to watch them, check them out on my tiktok! Username: areyoubcredyet
