Your Character (Open Heart)

Your Character in Open Heart is the main protagonist of the Open Heart series.

Although his/her default name is "Casey Valentine", the player can choose to name him/her as they wish. He/She is a internal medicine intern at Edenbrook Hospital.

Appearance
Your appearance is customizable according to the player's preferences. You can choose gender, skin tone, and facial features, and hairstyle. You have a closet available to change your wardrobe.

Personality
It can be said that you are intelligent given that you have a residency at one of the most prestigious hospitals in the East Coast. It is also shown that you feel stressed during your first day, which Dr. Ramsey doesn't help with his belittling remarks.

You are shown to be social and outgoing given that you go a bar with your fellow interns, and propose that the five of you rent an apartment together after realizing that you all have less than stellar living conditions.

Dr. Ethan Ramsey
Dr. Ramsey inspired you to go to medical school. On the first day of your residency, you help him save a woman's life without realizing who he is. Later, you find out that he is your attending. You have several options to talk back to him whenever he makes a rude or condescending remark.

Dr. Jackie Varma
You first meet Dr. Varma when you go to the lockers to change out of your bloodied scrubs. She is also a resident in the Internal Medicine department. She assists you on your first Code Blue and takes full credit in Annie's case.

Dr. Bryce Lahela
Dr. Lahela is in the locker rooms with Dr. Varma when you enter. He is a surgical resident.

Dr. Aurora Emery
At orientation, you find out you are partnered with Dr. Emery for your rounds.

Dr. Landry Olsen
You meet Dr. Olsen at orientation but he doesn't introduce himself until later. Like you, he admires Dr. Ramsey.

Dr. Sienna Trinh
When Dr. Ramsey begins to chew you out about Annie, your first patient, Dr. Trinh pulls him away and sends him to find Dr. Toussaint. It was a lie but she says "we interns gotta stick together, right?" After drinking at the bar, she suggests you, Jackie, Landry, Elijah, and her rent a place and split it five ways since it has to be better than the individual hellholes you each live in.

Dr. Elijah Greene
Although you meet him at orientation, he doesn't tell you his name until you're wandering the halls with a lab sample in your hands. You bond over the fact of being lost.
