I spent a long time working out her outfit and creating her profile (about two weeks), and even longer developing her lore, personality traits, and the like. I’d love to hear your feedback :)
TBP1 short OC lore:
After the mysterious death of her older sister, Hope Blake, Stess Adler, a 31-year-old artist, is left alone after a falling out with Terrence Blake.
Since childhood, Stess like her niece Gwen have the gift of prophetic dreams. But after Hope's death, her visions have become unclear, showing only a dark figure and black balloons.
Her neighbors see her as strange. Her house is filled with drawings inspired by her dreams, and the only person who makes her feel safe is her quiet neighbor, Albert Shaw. As they grow closer, Stess begins to ignore the warnings of her own intuition. But when children start disappearing, she sees Max’s death in her dreams, and Finney is abducted, she turns to Terrence and Gwen for help. Together, they play a crucial role in exposing The Grabber and rescuing Finney
