Pronouns: she/her
Birthday: October 11
Birthstone: Opal
Zodiac: Libra
Kateâs the friend who shows up to coffee with a white mocha and at least three big ideas she swears sheâs ânot starting this weekââand then somehow absolutely does. Her perfect day involves a long walk through Tower Grove Park, writing in a cozy corner at Cyranoâs, and getting distracted petting every cat within a 10-foot radius. Grounded, compassionate, and deeply community-minded, Kate channels her creativity into building spaces where people feel seen. Off the mat, sheâs raising awareness for local nonprofits and dreaming up the next âShare the Loveâ or âShare the Prideâ event before she even realizes sheâs doing it.

Birthday: February 20

Nancy is your introspective world-traveling friend who can casually drop âwhen I lived in JapanâŠâ into a conversationâand somehow make it sound humble. With an almond milk latte in hand and Olivia Dean playing, sheâs probably planning her next trip or taking a long walk through Forest Park. Sheâll talk to you about gratitude, but the real kindânot the âgood vibes onlyâ stuff. Kind, intellectual, and deeply thoughtful, she brings a quiet depth to everything she does.

Morgan is basically fueled by iced vanilla lattes and unreasonably long trips to Louieâs on Demun (because a girl deserves nice things). When sheâs not teaching Pilates, sheâs deep-diving into âresearch for fun,â which is exactly the type of nerdyâadorable energy we love. Her perfect STL day looks like wandering every vintage shop she can find, hunting for treasures she definitely âdoesnât need,â and ending with a picnic on Art Hill pretending sheâs living in an indie film.

Zodiac: VirgoâLibra cusp
Madisonâs energy is calm-but-not-boring â the friend who orders an iced lavender latte with honey and cinnamon, then actually remembers to slow down and enjoy it.

With Olivia Dean on repeat and hiking as her go-to reset, Madison moves through life intuitively â grounded, open-minded, and very much in tune with the present moment.
