Feeling 12

⋆⁺₊⋆ ━━━━⊱༒︎ • ༒︎⊰━━━━ ⋆⁺₊⋆

Katie Wilmot
Quiet, observant, and deeply introspective, Katie has spent much of her life learning to hide parts of herself. The absence of her parents left her in the care of her Nan and Grandpa, providing stability but never fully erasing the hollowness she carries. Katie struggles with an eating disorder, a symptom of her need for control in a life that often feels chaotic and unfair.
She is fiercely loyal to her friends, like Casey and Aoife, and deeply sensitive to the emotional undercurrents around her. Though she initially appears reserved and cautious, Katie is capable of impulsive emotion - moments where desire, anger, or hurt break through her careful exterior, all emotions caused by the one person who unknowingly haunts and consumes all of her thoughts.

Patrick Feely
Confident, magnetic, and often impulsive, Patrick struggles with alcohol and self-destructive tendencies that mask his emotional vulnerabilities. He is protective of his friends and fiercely loyal, especially toward Hughie, but often pushes boundaries in ways that hurt those around him - intentionally or not. He did not always act with thought, like a drunken kiss or reckless, intoxicated decisions that he will regret every single day of his life. He screwed up royally, and now he would pick up the pieces again not knowing that repairing a broken heart is a lot harder than tuning a guitar.

Patrick carried a bottle like a secret companion. Katie carried hunger like armor.
Neither of them asked for help.

Softer, harder, in between.
You know just how to get to me.
He is stable.
You are deep.
