[ gwen ducks her head with a bashful smile. she tucks her hair behind her ear. ] I wanted a change after high school.

[ needed it. the hair was an aspect she could control. then it proved to be of easy upkeep, a blessing when she couldn't be bothered put any effort into anything outside of the mask. enough hair had littered the floor to resemble a cat. she faintly remembers how light her head felt. it was an unfamiliar feeling then. it remains so, more often than not.

gwen keeps her voice light. ]

Turns out this length is great for the shampoo budget. Great for the college student on the go.
