Ally

Background
Ally was born to a fairly affluent family involved in coastal oil interests. She grew up loving technology, and had no interest in oil or oil platforms. She was cut off from the family fortune at age 20, after the public expression of social justice concerns regarding fossil fuels. She put herself through community college and picked up an associate's degree in information technology. She soon secured a series of positions with local companies, eventually becoming a lead web designer on contract to the state government. She had a turbulent relationship with a guy who ended up dumping her for being a social misfit.

Present
In 'Still Standing', we learn that Ally's ex is in the same bar as the protagonists, and he has nothing better to do than mock Ally in front of his friend. Ally had come to the bar to 'recover' from a birthday party thrown by some well intentioned friends. She's friends with the bartender and knows most of the staff. Late in the night, she starts talking to takes an interest in Bo, but is interrupted by angry locals before he can finish wooing her.

Rather than be driven out of the bar by her ex's insults, Ally plays a dance song on the jukebox. He and his friends are stunned as she dirty dances with a bouncer and a random girl at the bar. The ex and his friends get enraged, but are kicked out before they can cause trouble. Unwittingly, Ally's song was able to fuel Rashida's power and save Bo from a bad beating, or worse. She finds Bo out front, and invited him to share her cab, and her apartment for the night.
