My character it's cool. I can relate to her in the sense that she went to college. Like I went to college and um she's also kind of fashion forward and I I love fashion as well. She's a little bit more of a baddie than I am. I'm definitely not as cool as Sloane or probably as Ava. I'm not very cool at all. Um so in that sense, it's kind of fun to play the mean girl.
