This is interesting and well written so far. Hmm...for some reason your character reminds me of Mary Jane a little bit. (Maybe it's just because my muse is on a Spider-Man roll right now.) Keep it up.

I believe there's a hero in all of us that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams. -- Aunt May, Spider-Man 2
