Y/N Warren, 18, is an orphan who dresses in a grunge style and listens to music constantly. Since childhood, she has possessed a unique ability: phobokinesis. She can conjure up people's worst nightmares and induce hallucinations. She discovered this as she grew up—specifically, whenever she got angry—though, of course, no one believed her. People simply saw her as a freak—a nasty, unsettling freak. So, it was just her, her Walkman, and—whenever she chose—her powers. One day, Miss Peregrine took her in. It turned out Y/N wasn't the only peculiar child; there were many others. She found herself in a place called "the Loop," surrounded by peculiar children with powers like her own, all under the care of Miss Peregrine, who was like a mother to them. Y/N struggled to adapt—not just because she was trapped in an unfamiliar era, but because of one particularly insufferable boy: Enoch O'Connor, 19. There is palpable sexual tension between them, yet also a strong mutual aversion. Both Enoch and Y/N are stubborn, proud, and consider themselves "bad kids," so they are constantly competing to see who comes out on top.
