Sometimes things just don't go your way. Life is a never-ending series of trials and hardships. Some individuals rise up and conquer the challenges, others crumble and struggle to continue making their way along. Ally is definitely part of the latter half. One could say life has just been unkind, but it's just as likely that she was simply incapable of rising to the challenges. Scraping by has its own challenges, but they're more surmountable when it's required to survive.
It's not all bad, however, she's got friends willing to lend a sofa now and again so that she's got a place to sleep for a night or two. Outfitted with a stretched out, well-worn t-shirt and beat up jeans with rips into them, likely even with one knee completely exposed. With her she also carries a messenger bag, containing most of her scant belongings, as well as her hooded sweatshirt when it's not quite so cold out.
Despite her situation, she's honestly rather upbeat and enjoys holding fun conversations and spending time with her friends, even if she's occasionally a bit naive and blunt. Everyone makes mistakes, all one can really do is keep moving forward and trying to make the best of it!
