Some would even say she is the ultimate good- she values Christianity but has to reckon that it could be what got in between her friendship with Sadie. Mina is very hesitant and resentful in the present time as her best friend died without being the 鈥渞eal鈥� her.
El Goldstein (22): (she/her, she/they, they/them) Sadie鈥檚 girlfriend/partner. Born and raised in New York City. She is friendly, approachable, inquisitive, and proud (which can be misinterpreted).
