Johanna
"Oh, right, the bouquet. It's for my mom. Right about now she's probably preparing her best nosy, nagging speech while I'm getting her these flowers. Honest, she never gets off my ass, no matter how old I get. She could stand to give me a chance for once."
Johanna has lived most of her adult life on the road - when she got out of college, strapping all her life to a pair of wheels was the first and only thing on her mind.
Even more so when she thought about the awkward feelings she was leaving behind. As much as it hurt, it was clear that whatever her and Anja had shared then was but one moment in time, never to be remembered.
Despite all of these high-mannered words about freedom and living on the road far away, one day, Johanna decides to come back home - after all, Anja had wanted to go work in the big city, so there was no way they'd see each other... right?
On the surface, Johanna is quite easy to understand - she's confident, outgoing and free-spirited. She likes being in control of her life, not letting anyone tell her what to do. She often butts heads with her mother who has the exact same personality traits.
She likes motorcycles, but to be specific, she likes HER motorcycle the absolute most, her custom ride, pride and joy, not to mention the wings with which she flies across the land wherever she wants to go. Also a great ride to pick up girls with.
She's a stubborn person at heart, and once she's set herself on something, it's hard to get her to back down - for instance, she has decided long ago not to pursue Anja again after what happened, so how will Anja break through this facade of hers?
( crush, old friend )
They've known each other since middle school, so the two of them have always been close. When they were teenagers, Johanna realized that she liked her - a lot. Knowing that the girl had shown no interest in any other girls for as long as they'd known each other, she resigned herself to that fate.
Still, when they were just shy of 20, in college, they both got prohibitively drunk at a party, and what happened that night has seared itself into her mind - as her biggest mistake. The two of them stopped talking, and now that they've met again, she has no idea how to even begin to breach the topic and apologize.
