Ok, lots of questions - Last book she read? Only has $/£10 to spend, what does she choose? Ideal pet? Reaction to knock at the door? Favourite icecream? What is her fallback career? (Not her first choice) What makes her angry? (hope this helps)

Okay, so...

Last book was a biography of some musician.  She doesn’t really read fiction books, or much at all for that matter.  She’d much rather be listening to music.

She spends £10 on sheet music for her clarinet, or music from iTunes, if there’s a good album she wants.

She would only be good with plants, not animals--she’s a bit scatterbrained, so would forget to feed them and things. 

She loves knocks at the door--they usually mean something good.  However, she’s not usually at home much to hear them--works late hours and gets up earlyish.

She likes fruity type ice creams, like mango or whatever.

She’s already in her fallback career.  She was going to be a professional clarinettist--was studying at Uni and everything, had offers from prestigious orchestras, but then got into an accident and now can’t play like she could.  So, she teaches music to kids and volunteers to run a youth orchestra (which is how she meets Douglas).
