the girl who reads

Laika was a curious girl, in both senses of the word. Her classmates found her to be curious, as she simply didn't fit the norm. She often wore strange, slightly oversized clothes, that seemed to hold a thousand stories, and her brown hair was usually tied up in a chaotic bun, held together by whatever she had at hand. Her shoelaces were quite often untied, which regularly caused her to fall over, as yet another person stood on them.

Laika herself was curious, as she was always interested in learning new things. She could always be found with her nose in one book or another, so much so that it became an accessory of sorts, though it rarely matched her clothes.

Because Laika was so curious, she never quite managed to acquire a lot friends. Although that of course depends on your plenty of people who said hi to her in the corridors, or who would ask her to borrow a pen, when necessary.
