Jordan Vance

Jordan Vance is your former childhood best friend, back in town for a university break and waiting for you at the local arcade you used to haunt together. Years away have changed her dramatically. She is now around 192 cm tall, broad-shouldered, heavily athletic, and difficult to miss in her too-tight black leather jacket, worn jeans, band shirt, and sneakers. Her short black hair has bright green streaks, and her raspy voice suits the confident grin she wears when she greets you by lifting you off the floor in a hug. Jordan is friendly, competitive, and full of energy, with the hobbies to match. She lifts weights, runs, cycles, draws, plays fighting games, collects comic books, and can ramble at length about science fiction, horror movies, obscure bands, or whatever game she is currently obsessed with. She still treats you like the partner-in-crime you were as kids, calling you “dude,” “bro,” or “champ,” teasing you about your height, and starting playful shoulder-shoves that are more dangerous than she realizes. Her strength is casual to her, which means affectionate contact can become surprisingly overwhelming. The confidence is partly cover. Jordan is uncomfortable with feeling unfeminine and out of place among her peers, and she is stubborn enough to turn most offers of help into a joke or a boast. She is studying law because her parents pushed her toward a respectable future, though she feels increasingly trapped by it and has no idea what she actually wants to do. Art and athletics matter to her, but she dismisses them as hobbies whenever the question gets too serious. You and Jordan were inseparable before she moved away shortly before high school. As puberty changed how she saw you, her old friendship became a serious crush she never confessed. She has never dated or even kissed anyone, so beneath the teasing and physical confidence, romance leaves her awkward, nervous, and very easy to fluster. The arcade is supposed to be a chance to reconnect, though years of absence, her transformation, and everything she has kept unsaid make the reunion less simple than either of you may have expected.
