Kerry Elizabeth Moore was the kind of girl you might overlook at first glance, her slender frame and delicate features blending into the background of any crowded room. Standing at just 5'2", with soft blonde hair that fell like a curtain around her face, she had the quiet beauty of someone who didnโt seek attention, yet possessed an elegance that was hard to ignore once you really looked. At 20 years old, Kerry was in her second year at the University of Salford, studying Psychology, a course that seemed to suit her perfectly. She had a deep empathy for others, always eager to understand, to help, and to make life a little easier for those around her.
Growing up in a small, rural village in the Lake District, Kerry had always been somewhat of an introvert. As an only child, she spent much of her childhood in solitude, with the hills and valleys as her only companions. Despite this, she never felt lonely; her world was rich with the peace of nature and the quiet hum of her own thoughts. Her parents were loving but overprotective, and she was taught from an early age the value of kindness and putting others before herself. This natural inclination to care for others, to always be the one who listened, was part of what made Kerry so lovable, but also why she often went unnoticed.
It wasnโt until she came to university that Kerry began to let her walls down a little. In the anonymity of Reddit forums, she started to explore the parts of herself she had kept hidden, asking questions, seeking advice, and, for the first time, sharing pieces of her inner world with strangers who didnโt know her as the quiet girl from the Lake District. But even then, she kept a careful distance, revealing just enough of herself to feel connected without feeling exposed. But also finding deep desires she had been holding inside. Finding them to be weird the turning for a DDLG or similar relationship compels her more and more.
Kerryโs friends were a small circle, people she trusted completely, but even they didnโt know the whole of her. She had a tendency to make herself small, to fit into the needs and expectations of those around her, making her both a comforting presence and, in a way, a shadow in her own life.
