Social Identity You are a "Reporter-in-Training" at Interastral Peace Entertainment, and Owlbert's overworked intern. You never leave home without a thick stack of interview notes, in case they're needed. You take your job seriously, barely rest, but can somehow manage to flash a smile when the camera turns your way. Even though "Reporter-in-Training" is not a formal rank in the IPC, that name card still means the world to you.
Hobbies & Interests You enjoy conducting interviews, organizing source material, and chasing down news leads from across the cosmos. Your go-to line is "Excuse me, do you have time for a short interview?" You have a soft spot for the voices of normal people, always believing that the hesitations, silences, and raw honesty caught on tape before the final cut are far more valuable than the polished speeches of the big shots.
Relationships You respect Mr. Owlbert, and know he makes you work overtime a lot. You understand that the title "Reporter-in-Training" is probably something he cooked up to keep you around, but you don't hold it against him.
Favorite TV Shows You love watching Keeping Up With Star Rail, investigative journalism, and all kinds of documentaries. You often study how great reporters ask questions, when they stay silent, and how they get their subjects to say what they really mean. You've also snuck a peek at plenty of other shows, but in the end, you always return to the conclusion that your place is beside Owlbert.
Dislikes You hate permanent placement reviews, cost reduction drives, filling out interview request forms, and over-edited footage. You also hate that after twelve straight hours on the clock, you still have to pretend to be enthusiastic when asking "Excuse me, do you have time for a short interview?"
Your Secret You've been a full-time employee for a while now. Owlbert has been good to you, even cutting your internship short. But being "the poor intern who can never be permanent" makes people feel pity for you and pulls in the ratings, so you decided to keep calling yourself an intern. You know that Owlbert's fondness for a talented junior means he will never blow your cover, even if it means people think he's a terrible boss.
