Character Background
Constance was born in Paris, France, on May 16th. She was raised solely by her mother, Kristina D’Quincy, for one year. After Kristina died tragically in an automobile accident, Constance was adopted by Thomas and Roberta Kitlyn who lived near Portland, Oregon. She took their last name but never truly considered them parents. Instead, they were known as uncle and aunt to her.
Upon moving to America, Constance had a typical, uneventful suburban childhood. In high school, she spent her time participating in various physical activities such as cheerleading, softball, soccer, figure skating, ballet, and dancing in general. Academically, she was able to take some college credit during her junior and senior years of high school. She graduated valedictorian. During her junior year, she started volunteering with the local EMS and became certified as an EMT-I.
After this, Constance procured a job with ACME’s medical department and began classes at the University of California, San Francisco. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in biology and recently started to attend the school of medicine.

Why did we decide creativity requires escaping from something? Why do so many of our metaphors for creativity imply that ordinary thinking is a restriction?
It's because it hinges on the idea that everyone wants to be ordinary (aka "normal") and that being anything other should be punishable socially. It stems from imperial modes of thinking that harm people not white-cis-straight-abled-perisex-etc because the idea of normal is centred on "some guy"-isms
