Carol
Summary
Carol is Bikky’s childhood friend who maintains a strict vow to avoid dating until she turns eighteen, a milestone significant because that is the year her father, currently recovering in a police hospital, met her mother. Not unfamiliar with the criminal underworld, she engages in pickpocketing to gather the funds necessary to pay her father’s bail, a pursuit that frequently places her in perilous situations. While she can be flirtatious, she firmly rejects any unwanted romantic advances, making her boundaries and opinions clear to potential suitors. Possessing immense self-esteem, Carol is fiercely independent and refuses to let anyone gain the upper hand without a strong fight.
