KIM- Late 30’s/40s -“Moved to Western New York from Richmond for college but ends up dropping out and working as a cook at a local dive bar. She’s a little overweight from
chicken wings, potatoes skins, jalapeño poppers and vodka crans. Shes confident when drinking. She’s witty and can make folks at
the bar laugh with her raunchy sense of humor. She lives a pretty honest life but maybe has a gambling problem”
