brief history: Aofie had a pretty normal childhood, with loving parents and an annoying younger brother. She was born in Tramore Ireland to Sean and Chloe on December 25. When she was just five years old, her family moved to Boston, MA due to an office move for her father. Of course, getting used to the city was a task, but Aofie adjusted quite alright. She spent a lot of her time writing and reading while most kids her age were out playing at the parks, attending birthday parties, and so on. Sure, her parents worried for her, wondering if she was socializing enough, but in the end, she was staying out of trouble. They preferred a daughter who read and wrote, instead of one with a needle deep into her veins.
Her love for reading and writing flourished as she grew, making her request notebooks, journals and gift cards to Barnes and Noble for her birthday and Christmas. If one counted her total of written journals, there would be at least 100. She attended Boston University for English, Creative Writing, and Art History and graduated as 5th in the top ten of the BU English program. At the age of 20, she had written and published two successful children’s books which she based off her moving experience and growing up in Boston.
Aofie found herself landing in Hickstead due to an old professor referencing her. There were a high school and town library that needed some more librarian staff and feeling like she needed some new excitement in life, she took the job. Of course, the change was drastic from the American vibe to the English. But, nevertheless, she was able to settle in. She has since gotten to know the library quite well and has made herself a fitting name with her peers since January 2016. Of course, she doesn’t talk to them much, but she’s trying!

dislikes: Gaudy accessories, anything that is smoked (hookah, cigars, cigarettes)
strengths:
Writing • Aofie is a natural born writer, she was always able to put vivid imagery onto paper. She has a few published works, mainly for children’s books.
Organization • She’s far from OCD, but Aofie is extremely organized, especially at work. She cares for the books and their shelving units like they’re her kids. Due to this, she knows where every book is by section, row, and author and Dewey decimal system.
weaknesses:
Singing • No matter how hard she’s tried, there’s nothing there.
Dancing • What’s rhythm??
Flirting • Is bad at it and can’t recognize it.
secrets: She enjoys writing romantic stories in her spare time but does not care to show anyone due to her lack of romance in her life. Aofie also has an elaborate chest tattoo and trinity knot tattoo on each wrist that are only noticeable if people pay enough attention to her.
fears: Ocean and lake water past her shoulders.
habits: Unintentionally ignores people if she's super into a book, always uses cream in her coffee and tea, tends to wear skirts and dresses more than pants
overall personality: Aofie is a shy individual, but also professional and well mannered, carrying a smile on her face. She can a hold a decent conversation if one piques her interest, but she is the cliché wallflower and will wait for someone to approach her. Aofie will sometimes smile or wave to a passerby, but that’s all the interaction she’ll do willingly. She’s mastered the list of excuses to get away from a large social gathering that isn’t related to work.
At work, she hides behind the large stacks of books, sometimes sneaking in a few pages if allowed. Of course, what student ever goes to the library anymore, right? Damn youngsters with their internet… Though, if approached by a student or fellow faculty member, she will go out of her way to help. She knows the library like the back of her hand, and if something isn’t in stock, she will exhaust all resources to get a copy.
Dedication and love for her job are pretty much all Aofie has going for her. Due to her shy nature, flirting is something that she’s horrendous at. She was never the one men or women went for, so she’s never experienced sex, love, kisses, holding hands on the beach, etc. Despite her shy nature, Aofie is very nurturing. She hopes to be a mother one day and has considered adoption. At the moment, she owns four dogs in replacement as human babies.

Aofie finished her shift at the school library and headed home to relax a bit before she went to the public library. Last Monday she was here for the Second Chance program interviews and introductions. Most of all the people applied and were of course hired. The one person Aofie hoped to see was the shy man named Mason Hall. She was glad her nervousness didn't get in the way of him taking an application and applying straight away. Though, she hoped he didn't do it out of pity.
Sometimes she was able to read people’s personalities, but Mason had this ten ft brick wall that surrounded him like a fortress. The ability to understand what he could be thinking was limited. She wouldn't deny herself the thought that he was a very attractive man. A chiseled face, a broad chest and arms that looked like he gave warm hugs.
Don’t fool yourself, Aofie. There’s nothing there.
The young librarian sat in her living room, eating leftover pizza from the night before. Dublin Was working tonight, so he had headed straight to work after school. It was odd, having another person in her home--but it felt nice. Having Dublin around didn’t make her feel too lonely nowadays. Sure, she had the dogs before, but it wasn’t the same thing as a creature on two legs. Plus, Aofie played a supporting role. She was in charge of Dublin, making sure he was getting all settled in and what not.
Time ticked by before Aofie put her plate in the sink. She fed her dogs and left a note for Dublin, knowing he would be back before she came back from Public library. Wanting to freshen up as well, Aofie brushed her hair, touched up her makeup and spritzed a soft English rose scent. She looked at herself in the mirror, hoping she looked a bit more approachable than last Monday when she obviously overdressed. Now, Aofie was in a navy blue tea skirt with a set of buttons down the front. It sat a bit higher than her natural waist and was held up with a thin brown belt. Her salmon pink heels matched her floral shirt that made her long brown waves pop.
Maybe I’m trying too hard…..
The small twinkle of excitement dropped from her eyes as she removed herself from the bedroom mirror. She gave her dogs a few pets before grabbing her purse and car keys to drive over to work.
When there, she was greeted by Andrew who looked up at her with that Santa look. “Aofie, a pleasure to see you again!”
“Yes, yes. Did you miss me after two days?”
“Of course, honey! Also, how’s your cousin doing?”
“Dublin? Oh, he’s doing fine! He’s at work right now.”
“Great! Well, Molly is coming in, and I’ll be working with her. Are you all set with Mason?” Andrew asked, a sly smile hiding under his beard. He saw how Aofie was last Monday and had purposely paired the two together for shits and giggles.
“Umm..yeah,” she nodded with a soft blush.
“Wonderful! I’ll be upstairs since I’ll be showing Molly how to organize the research floor. You can teach Mason how to check out books and returns.”
Aofie just nodded again as she stepped behind the desk. She placed her purse down and took a seat where she could face the front door, allowing her full view to see who would be walking in. As she waited, she started the computer next to her so she could walk Mason through the directions and allow him to tend to a few people once he got comfortable. If today proved a good day, he would be able to start learning the school library as well.
