My fictional character's name is Madeline. She is a young woman (mid-20sish) who has just recently moved to the city. Her home is out west, near Las Vegas, which is not under the government control that the city is under. She lived very happily out there, until one morning when she discovered that her boyfriend was missing and being investigated in connection to recent murders. Obviously, this was very traumatizing, and even more so because soon after speaking with the police, she arrived home to find a threatening note blackmailing her. The note said that they knew the truth about what happened with the murders, and they were going to tell. This scared her, so she ran away from her home, abandoning her job, friends, and family.
She arrived in the city with only a modest amount in savings. She had only been a cocktail waitress in Vegas, so she had no idea what she was going to do for a job here. Upon arriving to the city, she had to fill out some immigration forms, and listing an occupation was required. Thinking fast, Madeline put down that she was a psychic, based on a passing interest in palm readings and a distant aunt who was into Tarot card readings. Luckily, this worked out really well for her, because the immigrations officer was very interested in this, and cut her a break in placing her in an apartment.
Soon after, she was put in contact with a man who owned a building where a psychic used to have a shop. She had recently passed away, so Madeline was in the right place at the right time to sort of "inherit" the lady's shop. Now, she's trying to settle down in the city and establish her business so that she doesn't run out of money and have to head back home.
