Steff

Steff used to date Emma.  They've never gotten over eachother although they've moved on.  They both figure they just impacted eachother too much for the loss of their relationship to ever completely heal.  They're very close still, although they live on opposite ends of the country--Steff's family now lives in California, while she's still in New York.
Parents are art collectors and own several galleries, fairly wealthy.  'E is a very talented photographer.

Due to ED Steff was in danger of many medical problems and even death, but has gotten help and begun to recover and regain health.  Relapses are frequent---'E's been in and out of treatment facilities for years.  Things are better now that 'e has some friends and some sense of worth but 'e will probably never be totally safe from relapse.

Shown here as REALLY emaciated.  Can be shown at this point up to slightly below average body weight while still being healthy.
