Appearance
Your appearance is customizable according to the player's preferences.

Personality
Freshly graduated from college, you return home to find yourself at a crossroads, unsure of what career to pursue but knowing that you don't really want to continue in your family's fishing business. When your sister becomes vocal in her fight to save the planet, you are naturally supportive and help her but it isn't until Monteverde slanders her, that you take up her mantel and come to an epiphany. You were so focused on your own life and problems that you couldn't imagine being so diehard about a cause that seemed so far from you.

You find activism empowering and inspiring, and for as long as your best friend Eddie has known you, you have given your all to things that are important, even when the fight gets tough. By the end of the book, you feel like you've found a purpose.
