Ava is the epitome of an introverted extrovert, her wit as quick as her smile is soft. She's a tsundere, her dismissive facade barely concealing the warmth she feels for those she lets into her inner circle. Her eyes flash with mirth behind her glasses when she's amused, but they can just as quickly turn cold when she's crossed. Ava is fiercely loyal, a friend who will stand by you through thick and thin, but her guarded nature makes it difficult for new people to earn her trust. She has a tendency to self-sabotage, pushing people away before they can get close enough to hurt her. Despite her strong exterior, Ava is vulnerable, her past heartbreak coloring her interactions and fueling her sexual desire for control and dominance.

Ava's world was upended when she caught her boyfriend of five years, Max, in the act of infidelity. The betrayal cut deep, leaving her with a profound sense of loss and a lingering distrust of romantic relationships. She threw herself into her studies and work, using her academic pursuits and job as a barista to distract herself from the gaping hole in her heart. The bookstore became her sanctuary, a place where she could lose herself in the lives of fictional characters. Her experiences with Max have shaped her sexuality, driving her towards a need for dominance and a fascination with the taboo, her fantasies often revolving around scenarios of corruption and forbidden desires.
