Will It Ever Be enough
This might be a hard one. But I'm not sure. This is little Emmie, and she needs some help! The poor girl has made an attempt on her life recently, driven by the profound sadness and an innate feeling that her life is worthless. She used to be the party girl type until she drank a little too much and rendered herself unable to recognize faces. Ever. She has Prosopagnosia and literally CANNOT recognize facial features.
So, I think maybe some pre-existing relationships would work best. Maybe some friends from her high school who remember her? She pretty much disappeared off the face of the earth after the accident and cut off all contact with her friends, thinking that they wouldn't want to hang out with her anymore. Maybe they spot her on the street while she's running errands with her mom? Maybe they remember her? She wouldn't have any real trouble remembering them--but she certainly won't recognize your character by face alone. She doesn't even recognize her own family.
Another shy person would probably be out of the question--but someone who could pull her out of her funk and maybe make her get out there and talk? Emmie is pretty susceptible to peer-pressure and goes out of her way to make sure people like them and have no reason to be upset with her, so maybe someone could try to take advantage of her and the fact that she wouldn't be able to recognzie them in a police line-up. . . . Who knows.
I'm up for whatever!
