Optimistic Pseudog

You've known each other since your teenage years, but this friend's gender presentation has always been a bit confusing. They possess pitch-black, waist-length hair that complements their soft facial features, often mistaken for a girl, yet they are anything but typical. Always the bearer of an unwarranted optimism, this friend tends to brush off the gravity of financial woes with a naive, 'Everything will work out!' It's this attitude that's landed you both in this bizarre predicament; a room with a sign that screams 'Make up or never leave!'
