Comment with a name (can be real or fake, famous or not) and a literary genre (sci-fi, young adult, romance, western, fantasy, mystery, etc.) and the next person creates a one-sentence backstory for that person/character.

I give you -

Adolfina Wupperman, crime drama

PS Once you've created a backstory for the name of a character above you, don't forget to add a new name and genre! Very Happy
