So today is Anita's birthday (March 3, 1980). She's ancient now, guys (46) 💔.
Anyhow, without spoiling anything, here's some completely irrelevant Anita facts (please don't eat me, there's SO much I want to say about her, but I don't want to spoil anything major).
Anita was born with blood type O-, making her a universal donor. She also wears contacts, which, let's be honest, both her parents are blind as bats, homegirl was not going to have good eyesight 💔
She has a mild poppy seed allergy and another, more severe allergy that I plan to reveal later on (~summer 1993 of the canon timeline)
Her cat, Opal, was inspired by two of my cats! Opal's overall existence can be attributed to my late cat, Ace, while her physical appearance and personality are inspired by my own rowdy kitten, Mavis (both of whom I will post pictures of when I get home).
As mentioned in chapter 5, Maeve, Anita's mother, forgot her second birthday (03/03/82), however, Anita never expresses any discontent over this fact.
Update: As of now, I've started planning/mapping out chapter six, and I'll be writing it soon. This chapter may tend to be on the shorter side since it follows the canon timeline of events (and Neville sometimes gets neglected in canon), but I hope to keep it at least a little longer than chapter four was 💔
