ruth

ruth is 27. she’s tall and skinny (helped by the occasional consumption of heroin), with black hair framing the freckles in her otherwise plain face.
Ruth lives alone, never letting her boyfriend du jour stay the night.
She enjoys the view over the city she gets from her high-rise and highly priced flat, where her only (and favourite) company is her lazy white cat (and sometimes a boyfriend, for a couple of hours).
Ruth likes, or rather, chooses, to be alone, working into the early hours and walking around the flat listening to classical music and contemplating the virginal white of the walls (helped by the occasional consumption of heroin).

ruth will die of old age, surrounded by her grandchildren.
