I was thinking the tomboy best friend, who people used to think they were dating or that she had a crush on him. But in all honesty, they were close like brother and sister. After Andy's Death, She left for college and when she came home. She wasn't as tomboyish as before she left home, even surprising her family and friends with the fact that she was pregnant. So for the last 17 years, since her best friend's death. She graduated college, became a single mother, took over her family's diner.
its a work in progress, but that's basically my idea for my character
