Rita Peabody. 20. Student/Raging Conspiracy Theorist/Hacktivist. Human.
back up please hold the goddamn phone rita is here to show you guys THE TRUTH
richard “ringo” langly of the lone gunmen, pretty much
(also please for the love of god let’s get frohike & byers up in here)
wears band t-shirts every single day
but she definitely pretends this is not a thing/issue and for the most part, for her life, it isn’t. except that, you know, she’s twenty and in college and everyone is always banging around her all the time and she is just trying to be on the internet until she decides to stumble into class late tbh.
very much a video game nerd; will come after you hard if you don’t hold your own on DOTA
grew up on a literal family farm where they grew locally-sold produce and raised cows and chickens and she never went to the grocery store because they had everything they needed at home
rita was very much...not an outdoors kid, so the farming life never really suited her
she was much happier to just swim around on the internet for a billion years, which is where she got very much SUPER interested in conspiracy theories
probably started with classic “9/11 is an inside job/new american century” stuff and moved on from there into basically being paranoid about everything a person in a position of authority ever says
got the hell off the farm as soon as she was able to and came to school at magnolia exclusively because of the paranormal rumors surrounding it
currently undeclared (even though everyone has let her know, rita, you had better figure this shit out already) because she’s mostly just on a college campus to try and wake people up to “the truth”
publishes an anonymous newsletter detailing conspiracy theory developments
co-runs a pirate radio show covering similar topics with two like-minded students, FROHIKE & BYERS MAKE THEM FOR GOD’S SAKE)
kind of socially awkward, kind of rough around the edges, but she’s p cool
lol no she’s not cool at all
