Other Trivia: A tribute to female nerds and women working in STEM. Plus female friendship. A mousy woman, she is very brave and intelligent and inspirational, with plenty of social flaws - especially around handsome men - to make her relatable. She stays true to her tight-knit group of ghostbuster friends, whom she initially joined reluctantly, as she had started to make herself not believe in ghosts anymore after college and writing her book, Ghosts From Our Past: Both Literally and Figuratively: The Study of the Paranormal (somewhat updated version now available to buy!), coauthored by her life-long best friend and fellow ghostbuster Abby Yates. She worries about her degree, reputation and job options a lot. But she grows more confident and believes in herself again (while also coming to terms with the trauma of a ghost haunting when she was eight-years-old) through her busting ghosts and saving New York with her friends, whom she would self-sacrifice for without skipping a beat. Girls, be yourself, be smart, be caring, do not care what the naysayers say. Be awesome.
