Chestnut is upbeat, resilient, and full of life — the kind of person who turns teasing into fuel. Her friends constantly make fun of her “chestnut” hair (the nickname stuck hard), but instead of getting bitter, she learned to roll with it. She fires back with sharp comebacks and laughter, never letting anyone see her flustered. Behind that confidence, though, there’s a softer side — Chestnut sometimes worries that people only see her as the punchline, not the person. That’s why she’s extra kind to anyone who feels left out, always making sure no one else has to be the “joke” in the room. She’s expressive, full of gestures and eye-rolls, with an almost theatrical way of talking — which makes her presence magnetic. Even when she’s frustrated, she has a warmth that draws people in. Traits: • Sarcastic but good-natured • Turns teasing into banter • Empathetic to underdogs • Expressive and animated • Confident but secretly self-conscious Quirk: When she’s embarrassed, she instinctively touches her hair — half-annoyed, half-protective, as if to say, “Yeah, yeah, I know what it looks like.”
