Hobbies:

Bee Keeping - Didi loves bees and honey. She's a strong proponent of bees and their good work for the environment, so she's gone out of her way to start her homesteading journey early with a backyard apiary. Its modest now, just one hive, but she has grand plans to expand, both in her current rental and when she finally buys a house in the country.

Homesteading - Didi loves the idea of homesteading and escaping the daily grind to go live in nature and be self sufficient. To that end, she has a large collection of books about the subject, from how to keep chickens to sustainable grazing methods for goats. She has a Pinterest board of her future farm house decor, and she's watched countless hours of homesteaders who document their lives and methods on YouTube.

Reading - Didi loves a good book. It doesn't much matter what it's about, she'll read anything from instructional to self help to fiction works and poetry. She just likes the escape into other worlds that books bring her.

Virtues:

Agreeable -- Didi is an easy person to get along with. She has a kindly manner and is easy to talk to, which comes in handy in her customer service job. She knows how to say things to put people at ease and she shows enough care to come across as genuine in her interactions. She might be the last person to start drama, and is usually good at defusing it when it comes up.

Studious -- Didi loves to learn and try new things, and she picks up new information fairly well. When she wants to do something or learn something, she can be dedicated to it, spending her time researching into it until she has a good grasp of the subject. Usually this manifests in her homesteading hobby, but has also been used in her various jobs. She likes to say that her philosophy is 'never stop learning'.

Flaws:

Pushover -- Didi doesn't know how to say No. She's always afraid that if she's not doing what other people want, they won't like her. She goes out of her way to conform to whatever people expect of her, often to her own detriment as she pushes aside her own wants and needs in favor of those around her that she wants to form relationships with.

Crybaby -- Didi struggles to handle conflict well. More often than not, when faced with adversity, she will break down and cry. This is a subtle manipulation tactic, as a crying female can often make someone (especially men) back down. When something is too hard, or someone is being aggressive, she will lean into looking and acting pathetic. Mentally, this also comes with a 'poor me' mindset. Everything wrong is not her fault and she is so put-upon for it. Life is so unfair! And in general, she just doesn't have much of a spine and lets her worse emotions rule her.
