Character studies 15-17

 Dropin Drama character study part 15! Names are the only fictional part of this.

Griselda-- talks about her autistic son or nephew but in a pathologizing n deficit-focused way despite knowing he is more than that... But my point is, he is even more than THAT.

Janicka-- made the best of having to sleep at the airport n was understanding about there being no spot here for her so staff worked with her to get a taxi to send her to the airport

Leeannah-- her stress n her physical pain fed into each other n she had a psychosomatic breakdown

Nastya-- comfortable talking with staff about services but when I asked her about them I musta scared her n triggered her social anxiety n the poor thing kept apologizing for no good reason

Dropin Drama character study part 16. All names of people are changed.

Leona-- talks all the time to the voices... Often about schizophrenia

Triumph-- might have picked up my charger by accident or on purpose or just seen it in the wastebasket in the bathroom stall she was in but laughed from inside the stall n didnt tell me when she heard me wondering out loud where my charger was. Probably disposed of it herself thinking I was waiting for her outside the stall, cuz I later found it in that stall's wastebasket when I reentered the bathroom.

Ethelyn-- mentions here n there that someone is cutting into her feet with a sharp object. No one but her sees anyone even around her feet.

Donia-- told the staff dutifully that a toilet wasn't working but felt so guilty about bothering them that she threw in a few compliments about the staff member's clothes
