Her personality is pure energy: loyal to the bone, with a sharp but sweet sense of humor, and an expert at saving situations with a "it'll be fine." She's the one who organizes birthdays, the one who calls you at 3 AM to tell you about a weird dream, and the one who always has the last word in football arguments.
