CHARACTER
Name: Mae Borowski
Canon: Night in the Woods
Canon point: Post-game, Bea Route
Age: 20
Summary: Mae is a college dropout who just returns to her small, run-down hometown of Possum Springs. She tends to be immature, lazy, quick-tempered, and has a fondness for ghost stories because of her late grandfather, and has an interest in the supernatural. She tends to be quick-tempered, with a short attention span to boot, and rambles on when asked questions or just musing to herself.
She tends to have a pretty destructive personality, having been to therapy after an incident in her youth where she sent a kid to the hospital after beating him with a bat during a softball game. This ended up being because she has depersonalize or dissociative disorder where people and things just become lifeless "shapes" to her, causing her stress and anxiety. She also has dreams of the past and godlike beings, possibly being able to astral project.
She returns home from college because of these mental health issues, but it turns out there's more to Possum Springs than she remembers. After witnessing a "ghost" kidnapping, Mae investigates what's going on and discovers the town's local cult. Said cult is composed of older members of the town, who believe in sacrificing "worthless" people to a hole in the ground where the believe a cosmic being who can bring the town prosperity lies. Mae and her friends end up sealing the hole of the mine where the cult is, leaving their fate unknown.
Powers/abilities: No powers.
Inventory: Her clothing and journal

OTHER
Sentimental item: A WWI helmet that Gregg keeps as souvenir, has a bullet hole in it from where his great-grandfather supposedly shot it. Mae doesn't have any strong feelings towards the helmet, but she knows Gregg does, and she'll keep it as safe as possible to bring back to him.
Gemstone: Black opal, with red as a secondary color. It's small, and round, and the red spreads through the gem like a spiderweb.
Lost memory #1: The time she sent Andy Cullen to the hospital. This would not change her mental health issues, but it would erase the reputation she thinks she has in Possum Springs (and likewise her fears of this happening in a new place). She would most likely be a little unsure of why going to a new place scares her so much without the context of the softball game, until her mental health issues arise again.
Lost memory #2: The reason why she left college. The problem with shapes. This ties into losing memory #1, where she won't be sure why new places freak her out. She will just think she decided to drop out because she wasn't doing so hot and there wasn't any reason to stress out in the first place. Everything's fine!!
Altered memory: Getting drunk and fighting with Cole at the party in the woods. In the memory she still gets drunk, but instead of yelling at Cole, she thinks she kisses him while sloppy drunk and throws up on him. It's just as horrifying and embarrassing as what actually happens. She'll refuse to talk about it and threaten violence if anyone pushes her on this memory.
Sample: From her last game
