Denise

Denise works for Monica's Sweet Treats.

Her job responsibility is working the counter and helping out in the bakery. She makes awesome cookies and Monica is paying for her culinary school education.

Denise grew up with very unsupportive parents who tried unsuccessfully to send her to conversion therapy. She spent her teenage years immersed in video games as a way to escape from her troubles.

When Denise turned 18 she moved out of her parents hostile home and spent the next few years struggling and hopping from low rent apartment to low rent apartment.

She tried to find a regular job but was turned down left and right by everyone. While her friends told her to save up for surgery Denise always believed that things would get better.

When Denise finally got a part-time job working for a clothing retailer at the local mall she scraped together every last cent to rent a new apartment.

Denise met her boyfriend Nick the day she moved into her apartment. Nick was coming out of his apartment and surprised Denise causing her to drop a box of glasses. The dropping of the box of glass was a metaphor for the amount of anxiety she felt from moving and starting a new job.

After some missteps, Denise discovered that Nick had a similar love for videogames and they quickly became friends.

One night after an intense gaming session Nick asked Denise out and she had a very reluctant time coming to terms with Nick asking her out. She feared losing her gaming friend and got scared away.

After a week or so Nick tried again with great success and they soon fell in love.

Denise is currently living with Nick and subletting her apartment next door.

Since leaving home Denise's parents have gotten a divorce. Denise's father has attempted to reconcile with his daughter and they currently meet once a week for dinner to talk.

While Denise still harbors some resentment she realizes enough time has passed and everyone has suffered enough. The time has come for forgiveness and since her father spent more than a year tracking her down he deserves a second chance.

Denise would also like her father to walk her down the aisle when if she ends up marrying Nick.

Denise's gaming handle is MaryKpewpew. Don't try and grief her or she will teabag you. Since none of her gaming friends know that she is transgendered except for Nick it carries extra irony for the two of them.
