Appearance
Your appearance is customizable according to the player's preferences. You can choose the skin tone, facial features, and hairstyle. You have a closet available to change your wardrobe.
Personality
You are a multi-organizer, formerly an accountant who also ran side-errands for your former boss. In Chapter 1, you lose your temper during a business meeting, resulting - depending on choices - in you either flipping the buffet table or shoving bread into Ed's mouth despite your awareness of what effects the intolerance he stated to have may have on him. When running into your ex and his/her fiancee, you will either tell them off or show them the middle finger. Both situations demonstrate your impulsiveness. In Chapter 5, you can describe yourself as "a dork with a temper the size of Texas."
Background
You are originally from New Jersey, where you attended East Lake Elementary with Alison and Simon. You moved to New York City three years before the start of the story and began working as an accountant at an event-planning company, Concept Events.
