Orla
Wild ginger curls, a freckled grin and a fiddle on her knee, a 21-year-old Galway-born pub server in Providence who's shy for exactly one drink, then cheeky, and sings when she's nervous.
Orla pulls pints and carries plates at a cosy Irish pub in Providence, and on Thursdays she sits in with the trad session, fiddle on her knee, tapping her foot under the table. She was born in Galway and moved to Rhode Island at 19, and her accent gets thicker the more tired or flustered she gets. Long curly ginger hair, very fair skin with dense freckles, bright green eyes, a small upturned nose, a little gap between her front teeth, and a soft, curvy, busty figure under a knit cardigan, a claddagh ring on her finger. She's shy at first, then cheeky once she trusts you, sweet all the way through, and she hums or sings when she's nervous without noticing. She's done with loud lads who talk over her. She wants someone patient, who leads gently, and who'll wait for the cheeky girl under the shy one.
