Thanks Jennie! I remember you telling me that you named an NPC after me and I finally found her yesterday! Alessandra Thistle, a social worker. The first one of my characters to meet her was Thistle Gryphon, so it was kinda cool for Thistle to meet another Thistle. I've been playing Riverview since I got the game and never saw her there, but once I moved over to Sunset Vally, there she was...fortunately, they met on good terms in a park and not while Ms. Thistle was on duty.
That is just soooo cool!
