Let's talk about housing situations! What sort of home did your character grow up in? What sort of house do they live in in their canon? Where do they live in the City? Did they stay in the MAC or move in with friends? Who do they live with? How has their housing situation shaped their life?

Jesse's been a street kid for as long as she can remember, orphaned at a very young age and probably not in the foster care system for terribly long before she bounced (I have headcanon that her foster parent was a ninja horde hence the training, but I digress).

In Wilkesborough, she has a squat in an abandoned building. She shares it with a cat who sometimes eats dead rats next to her head when she's trying to sleep and keeps whatever she deems as an important possession in her backpack. She kept pretty late hours since A) she's the main superhero in her neighborhood and she's got shit to keep track of and B) she doesn't go to school very much anyway.

In the City, she currently lives in the MAC, which is easily the fist house/apartment she's lived in pretty much ever and holy shit, she has a bed and a shower and everything. But the permanency of it makes her a little uneasy, so she still keeps strange hours and doesn't really spend a lot of time in her room. She bounces back and forth between hoarding things and trying to keep her material possessions as spartan as possible in case she needs to leave, she also has a secret savings from the money she receives every month. The idea of living at the Xavier Institute freaks her out, though she'd never admit it.

This week, she'll be leaving her room in the MAC almost entierly and sort of reverting back to her old habits. Although this time, her squat is some nice private little corner of the Carrier.
