Character A is not religious. She’s... let’s call it spiritual. She’s into the healing powers of crystals and herbs, she loves a good natural remedy, and she unironically thanks Mother Earth whenever she feels amazed by nature. Which is, to be perfectly honest, nearly every day. She’s generally a happy and laid-back person, but she has one big pet peeve: people who think she’s dumb because of what she believes. A is starting law school, thank you very much, and that has nothing to do with the clear quartz under her pillow.
Or maybe it does. It’s supposed to help with concentration!
Character B has just moved to a new city to start med school and make her childhood dream of becoming a doctor a reality. B is a woman of science: she likes facts and evidence and things that make sense. So when she meets her new roommate and her essential oil diffuser (lavender, for a calm introduction!), B is pretty sure her living situation could not possibly be any worse.
But it does get worse. First, there’s the fact that A‘s social life is as busy as her incense holder, so natural hermit B has to deal with a never-ending parade of people in her apartment wanting to make small talk. Then, there’s the discovery that there’s one thing that’s much worse than A: A in a relationship. And last, but certainly not least, the most chilling realization of all:
B is falling in love with A.
Alternate flavors:
A isn’t just into crystals and herbs: she’s an actual witch with magic powers, and if she must levitate B’s biochemistry book to prove it, she will.
B may be a woman of science, but that’s not the reason she’s so exasperated by A’s essential oils. It’s just that she comes from a long line of healing witches, and she’s sick of the appropriation.
