Eftihia (Effie) Giannoudakos is a senior in high school who wants to pursue a career in physics at (hopefully) the University of Colorado in Boulder. She loves music, also well as her dogs, Meatball and Jasmine. Effie – confusingly, because she does not speak Spanish – has a very convincing Dora impression, but do not ask her to demonstrate, as she will get embarrassed and possibly – in her words – cry. She is of Greek descent.

The city itself was originally named Turner Junction, and was the first railroad junction to be established in Illinois.
