The Big City Nurse Practitioner

Terri has brown longish hair. She wears sharp glasses that hang on a plastic top crossbar that spikes out at the edges, it might be that the glasses hide eyes dulled by work, eyes level in even scale balances.

Before the AA comes into the scene, she seems wide open to suggestion unlike the small town psychiatrist that might believe in an ordered life. She might suffer for the ideal. She believes more in justice than might a more insular thinker and she is probably not a stiff thinker. She might take somebody down, but she has to have better reason.

Once AA comes into the picture she comes down much harder. She explains that she used to give others rides to meetings, a thing that has possibly worn on her also. She seems like one that believes in the right to a better life, and she might believe in the basic rights of individuals, although she might not treat herself that way. She is just a nurse practitioner big city, and has possibly developed a cooler attitude toward life.

Terri is a student of psychiatric teaching. She is suspect to the belief in the circle of humanity, and a more complicated view of utopia, although she would never tell her patients so. She believes in justice, and might unknowingly represent it through personal sacrifice, since personal sacrifice like mercy is an ultimate justice that can be meted out on another. It is a sign of her spirit that she might try to hide, but that comes out sometimes in a brilliant and tiny light.
