Tamarack

Tamarack Baumann is the deuteragonist and one of the love interests in Our Life: Now & Forever.
== Appearance ==
Tamarack has red eyes, sparkling gold-like hair and peachy skin.
For Step 1, Tamaracks' appearance cannot be changed. She has puffy hair that's neck-length and tied up in a half-up hairstyle. She wears a pink scarf, a striped toucan red sweater, blue short overalls, brown socks and yellow rain boots. She also carries a brown messenger bag.
For Step 2, Tamarack carries her instrument on her back. She wears a purple sweater, with a pink shirt underneath, and black pants.
For Step 3, Tamarack still carries her instrument with her, along with a pale overcoat. She also has a black square purse and a red scarf.
== Personality ==
In Step 1, Tamarack is curious, excitable, and sweet. She spends much of her time in the woods foraging, exploring, and playing, enchanted by the ever-changing scenery. She is very sure of herself and prefers to do things her way. She is shown to be quite blunt, never hiding how she truly feels, she directly states that she doesn't like the town, calling it "stinky" and saying that no one is doing anything or going anywhere. Tamarack is easily excitable, often bouncing around and cheering. Tamarack likes to play by her own rules and also has a tendency to go off by herself to do what she wants to. She'll even play around within the confines of rules she's been given if possible.
In Step 2, she becomes shy and uncertain, hiding her braces and treating everything extremely delicately. She still tries to surprise the main character but is much more conscious of how she comes across.
== Background ==
A fellow newcomer, Tamarack moved in only about a week before the main character did. She's a darling joy to those who get to have her company. And like the forests she loves so much, Tamarack is always changing in big and small ways. That isn't always for the better. She's surrounded by wrong branches, leading her down paths that only cause hurt. Yet despite all the pricks and snags on her path, the heart always remains the same.
With Tamarack you'll see a kind miss who has a lot to learn about herself, but will never stop trying to find her way. Tamarack is a woman who only ever uses she/her pronouns.
== Relationships ==
=== Main Character ===
Tamarack meets the main character when she pops out of a pile of leaves after throwing a paper airplane at them. She's immediately curious about them and asks them a lot of questions. She seems to like the main character even if their relationship is set to neighbors and if they are friends she will ask you to be best friends in Step 1's prologue, stating how she's never met anyone who is so much like her before. She'll do her best to encourage the main character, going out of her way to compliment them.
=== Qiu ===
Tamarack and Qiu become fast friends when they meet, though they have trouble agreeing. Tamarack seems content to not do everything Qiu wants to and tells him as much, while Qiu has a hard time doing things that don't involve everyone present. She refuses to join Qiu's club, not because she dislikes him, but because she simply doesn't want to.
=== Renee ===
In Step 1, Renee shows disdain for Tamarack because she is a girl and objects to her joining the boys club. Tamarack is initially unsure of how to feel around him but at the end of "Walks" she decides she likes hanging out with him. Even when Renee is being cold to her Tamarack still tries to be nice to him.
