Germaphobe June
June is a germaphobe! In a... Very weirdly specific way.
She's not an overly clean person. She's not strongly against gross things-- At least, not more than the average person. Stains aren't something to freak out about, and she'll shake your hand or high five without a problem!
June's "germaphobia" stems solely from her clothes.
If someone touches her clothing, she'll view it as "tainted" or "dirty." Whether it's a stranger, a friend, family, a pet-- A single touch, and she's scrunching up her face and shivering at the knowledge that her clothing isn't "clean."
And this feeling builds.
If someone bumps into her shoulder and touches her shirt-- It's annoying, but she'll get through it. But if it persists? If she's touched multiple times without getting clean, or packed into a busy crowd--?
The feeling grows. The anxiety, the disgust, the panic-- And the only relief is to take off those horribly tainted clothes, right then and there!
She might end up exposed. Embarrassed. Humiliated. But surely, that's better than being "dirty," right?
