cw: recreational drug use [mentioned]
[name_u]Camden[/name_u] " [name_u]Cam[/name_u] " [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] Nowark (24) is one of Reggie’s housemates and generally serves as the peacemaker if an argument or petty squabble breaks out over something. A history graduate, Camden’s parents are the sort of people she’d rather avoid, and chose a university far from them for these reasons. They were involved in a ridiculously pretentious art scene before she and her older brother were born, giving their children names for hotspots they favoured, and despaired when said kids started to develop their own interests that weren’t chasing the film industry, as both the Nowark’s themselves had done. Cam’s father in particular often claimed her love of history was merely an act of ‘petty rebellion’ and that she’d ‘see sense’ once she was older, chastising her when she wanted to go on school trips in spite of absolutely having the money for them, as he insisted she was just engaging to spite him and her mother. They often pushed her and her brother to schmooze with the kids of their friends, and this was successful at least: all of them bonded over the embarassing and exhaustive antics their parents engaged in!
It doesn’t surprise people when they find out [name_u]Cam[/name_u] was a consistent stoner in her university days. This typically helped her handle exam periods, when her dad would - once again - call to try and convince her she just needed to return home once she’d obtained her degree, and he’d set her up with an assistant job to one of his producer friends: aka a convenient means of trying to weasel his way into TVs good graces, with Cam’s work scrubbing his reputation clean. She weathered this without arguments, as unlike her brother, [name_u]Cam[/name_u] really can’t be bothered with the energy of reasoning with her parents, who refuse to leave their dream world of success and stardom - a period that ended before either one of their children were born. The siblings do see each other whenever they can, but Cam’s brother’s currently working abroad in [name_u]Holland[/name_u], meaning it’s vidchats and amusing postcard exchanges for them as of now.
[name_u]Cam[/name_u] was also the first roommate to introduce a pet to the house - with full approval of the others firstly. She owns a frog named [name_m]Ludo[/name_m], who was originally in an exotic animal rescue pet shop, and takes excellent care of him. Career wise, [name_u]Cam[/name_u] hasn’t been shocked by the fact she’s not a curator or documentary researcher yet: she’s involved in retail at a local history museum, as well as having a fairly unusal freelance role providing information to local ghost walks. The ghoulish parts of the past never go overlooked by her, and this niche had helped her make further financial progress, being able to afford a small car that’s utilised by the house whenever they need to make a longer trip [and the trains aren’t proving reliable or practical]. Where her parents are concerned, [name_u]Cam[/name_u] prefers to not say much. She’s not someone who opens up easily, being entirely forward thinking and hating to dwell on the shenanigans her mum and dad engage in [people have tended to just find it funny and not understood how emotionally exhausting such people are], however one of her roommates knows absolutely everything, which means a great deal to [name_u]Cam[/name_u].
