Characterization of the main character

2. I assume Miss Lulu is a young woman in the early thirties. A woman who is a little bit shopaholic, because she ends up using 2 months of rent. In this short story, Miss Lulu is out shopping for boots in New York and almost reaches heaven. To me she seems like a normal woman, who´s not loaded of money. Spencer though who is with her. Is her rich friend. She could have a self-confidence problem, because when she sees the guy in the restaurant, it seems like it is only because of her boots that she has the confidence to go up to him. She is the one who took the initiative to start talking to Mr. cutie dream guy and her first sentence is “ You´ve been standing alone for ages, I´ve come to keep you company”
