Lee

"You're perfect. Even if you're somehow completely different from the last time I saw you, it doesn't even matter. Perfection comes in many forms."

- Lee to the main character

Lee is a character in Our Life: Beginnings & Always. She is the cousin of the protagonist.

Appearance
Lee has blue eyes, red wavy hair, and pale skin. For Step 2, she wears a sleeveless dress with pink, purple, and white patterns. She has a silver necklace and a headband. During Step 3, she wears a white sleeveless blouse and blue high waist shorts. She has a pair of earrings and a gold bracelet.

Personality
Lee is known for being cheerful. Whenever she is talking with or hanging out with the protagonist, she always shows an enthusiastic side. She likes joking around, especially with the protagonist.

She also shows a caring side for the people around her. She's very supportive of her friends and family. She understands if they need support or if they need space and will gladly comply to what they want.

She does, however, know how to express her opinions on things she does not agree with and stand by them; like Cove pocketing a gumball or trying to pay for the main character's smoothie in "Mall".

Background
Lee is the daughter of one of Pamela's siblings. She used to live far from the main character's family and would only meet them during certain occasions. However, her family moved closer to where the protagonist is and would often hang out with them.

Main Character
Lee is the protagonist's cousin and one of their closest friends. She always tries to find time to talk to or hang out with the main character. They also has a lot of opportunities to tell her about their feelings for Cove. If Cove is not their crush, they can still tell her about whoever they have a crush on. If the protagonist has a crush or is in love with Cove, she always shows an encouraging side to their relationship.

She also shows a caring side in "Family" where she willingly stays by the protagonist side to comfort them as long as they want her to. She also respects their need for space and will stay by their side if they need the company. In "Hang", if they are indifferent to Cove, she talks to them instead. She shows a supportive side to them if they feel insecure. She readily offers to pay for the protagonist in "Mall" if they forget to bring money, in which she will have a small argument with Cove that isn't serious if the main character wants to buy a smoothie.

Elizabeth
Similar to the protagonist, Lee is also fond of her other cousin. They don't hang out as much during Step 2 mainly due to Elizabeth not wanting to hang out with her family, though, so Lee hangs out with the protagonist more. However, it is implied that all three of them used to hang out a lot before Step 2. Lee worries for her during "Talks" and makes sure that she is fine.

Derek
As the protagonist's cousin, Lee develops a friendship with their friend, Derek. He hangs out with her along with the main character and Cove during "Mall". Though both are not as close to each other as they are with the protagonist, they still consider one another as friends and would chat when Cove and the protagonist are not talking to them. Lee also tells her cousin in "Family" that she likes Derek, presumably as a friend, and will support the protagonist if they tell her that they have a crush on him.

It is unclear whether or not they still talk to each other during the events of Step 3.

Cove
If the protagonist has a crush on Cove, she encourages developments in their relationship and is one of their biggest supporters. Though they don't talk as much, they still hang out with each other during "Mall" along with Derek and the protagonist. She is not afraid to call Cove out when he is being a slob, however, as shown when he stows his gumball in his pocket in "Mall" if the four of them decide to buy gumballs instead of using the rides.

Pamela
Pam is Lee's aunt. Although estranged from her family, she still talks to one of her siblings who is Lee's parent. As a result, Lee hangs out a lot with the main character's family especially when her family moved closer to where they live as said in the transition between the end of Step 1 and the start of Step 2.
