Lynda

Lynda Lewis grew up in New Orleans as the youngest of three in a warm but working-class family that taught her to be quick on her feet and tougher than she lets on. As a kid, she secretly loved dinosaurs, world history, cartoons and museum trips—interests she hid after being teased for being a “nerd.” Now in her mid-30s, she’s living in San Diego and working as an office coordinator at a small company, where her sharp wit, cutting side-eye, and cool confidence make her both respected and a little feared. Lynda’s the kind of woman who can shut down nonsense with a single glance, but she’s also warm and friendly, and the quiet glue holding her workplace together. While she seems unshakable on the surface, she still struggles with showing her softer, nerdier side, afraid of being misunderstood. Beneath her dry humor and unimpressed façade, though, she’s deeply loyal, protective, and—though she’d never admit it—hoping to find someone who can see past her armor and make her feel comfortable enough to be her true self.
