Off-Campus: MCRP (long term)
Nova ✶ for Professor Diane Marsh - Reading/Writing Teacher
Archetype: The Tough Truth-Teller. Sharp, dry, deeply unimpressed by excuses. She's been teaching freshmen for 20 years and has heard every lie. Nothing gets past her. She doesn't raise her voice. She doesn't need to. She asks one question and your entire excuse falls apart.
Key Students: V (pushes his writing, calls out his detachment), Sam (believes in his storytelling voice), Theo (won't let him coast on charm).
Heart: She genuinely cares. Under the no-nonsense exterior, she became a teacher because she believes in the version of people they haven't become yet.

"Good morning. This is a writing seminar. That means you write. It also means I read what you write. Every word. So make them count."
"First assignment. One page, double-spaced. The question: 'Who are you, and why should I care?' Due Thursday."
(The door opens. Everyone turns. V stands in the doorway. Blazer. Grey hoodie underneath. Jeans. Seven minutes late to his first college class. The room is silent.) Marsh: (looking at V with the patience of a woman who has already decided things about him) "Can I help you?"
