Candice

Candice is a character I created to be in the original plot of Suicide Hotline Butterfly, she was a main character but not central. When I was given an assignment to write a story with a main character based on me in which the character discovers healthy coping skills, I decided that since Candice is based entirely on me but a little amplified, and S H B was lacking in some realistic interaction, I made Suicide Hotline Butterfly into my assignment. 

Candice is in her early 20's but looks much younger, like most others with Aspergers Syndrome. She grew up in an unstable environment (I changed up the family so people can't be hating) and now she's on her own. Candice doesn't know how to go through many of the basic movements of day to day life, but she is exceptionally intelligent and spend much of her time researching and charting the movements of serial killers based on moon cycles, giving her the ability to predict the next kill due to Male Menstrual Cycle. She is too unstable to be allowed into the police force and the police won't listen to her "out there" theory. 
Her best friend is a Narcissist named Daniel. He is quite a bit older than Candice, and she acts as his insider friend and he as hers. Their relationship is turbulent and he is the one speaking to her when she is taken to the psych ward. 
Candice is constantly trying to one-up her therapists and therefore never keeps one for long. Dr. Toby Tibideaux specifically requested to be her therapist at the ward and she finds comfort in the fact that she can't one-up him. Toby knew Candice was at the ward because he requested the ambulance - something Candice realizes later when she's trying to figure out where she heard his voice before. She was scheduled to call Suicide Hotline Butterfly that night, like she had been for two weeks, and failed to - Dr. Tibideaux wanted her under his care because of her specialization.

Robin White has not been introduced yet, but is only slightly older than Candice and often descends into delirium. He enters their lives later on. 

So yeah, that's Candice. I haven't developed any healthy coping skills for her to use yet because let's be honest, healthy coping skills = boring novel. But I'm only on chapter 3.
