Aretha Book

Aretha Book competed on Season 7 of Love Desert. She was a finalist alongside Sky, eliminated as a couple in 3rd place overall.
Aretha is known for being a hot bookish gal. She is part of the House of Leibniz, a collective of sapphic sims.
==Background==
Aretha was created by Jude, specifically to compete on Season 7. Her name is inspired by the fact that she likes books.
===Competing on Season 7===
Aretha was an early favourite at the casting special for Season 7. She was the 12th of 16 sims to make it to the cast by the judges' shoe-in choices.
Aretha started the competition playing it very safe, not developing a romance on episodes 1 nor 2. On episode 1, she became a friendship couple with Sky S'Canner, which led to a high-mid vote placement. On episode 2, Aretha left Sky to couple up with closer friend and new bombshell Henry Romano, leading to a mediocre vote placement.
When one of the judges chose to bring Aretha on a date with Sky during episode 3, a romance blossomed between the two of them. They coupled up as expected, and rose to the top to get their first vote win together that same episode. They tied for the most votes with another couple, Hoyt and Faulina.
Although the two of them had just established theirselves as a potential threat to their competition, with episode 4 came the big villa split in which all current couples were divided in half amongst two different villas, while 3 new bombshells arrived at each villa. During their two episodes apart, Aretha and Sky chose not to interact with anybody in their villa, and this showed their commitment to one another.
As expected, Aretha and Sky reunited on episode 6 at the recoupling. Although brand new bombshells Nanita and She They were expected to become a couple and win the vote, She They decided to ditch Nanita for Faulina. The reason this is relevant to Aretha and Sky is that Nanita and She They were bound to win the vote if they had coupled up, but since they chose not to, Aretha and Sky managed to earn their second vote win of the season.
Yet again, Skyretha's vote win was a tie with another couple, this time with similarly compatible couple Bibi and Kenya.
For the next 2 episodes (episode 7-8), Aretha and Sky played it pretty safe and had a generally positive showing, sometimes being critiqued for being less memorable than the other couples with all their drama. On both episodes mentioned, Skyretha were voted 2nd place while rising stars Priya and Angel won both of the votes. Episode 8 was the more controversial vote result, because Angel had just physically assaulted Priya and they still won the vote over Skyretha.
Aretha and Sky struggled to get through the semi-final on episode 9, but they made it in 3rd place. This placement didn't get any better at the finale, where they were eliminated in 3rd place overall.
Although widely respected, Aretha and Sky suffered from the same issue as early frontrunners of the season Jemima and Margattoni, being that they couldn't remain relevant amongst the insane conflicts happening around them. It was especially difficult for Skyretha to stand out when their track record could only be described as two tied vote wins.
