Maren is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met.

I met her while I was studying abroad, and she quickly became a beloved member of our group of kindred international folk. One time we all sent a picture of ourselves from when we were little to our group chat and she took it upon herself to categorise us by whether we would have been a kid who stabbed other kids with pencils or who were the unfortunate stab-ees. Maren is very flirtatious. She threw winks at people across the table, once suggestively told me she would ‘tell me about it later’, and tenderly slow-danced with people when we went to karaoke.

She is also asexual and aromantic.
