Naz is a 38-year-old woman who was feeling lonely after going through bad breakups. She downloaded an AI chatbot app called Character AI and started talking to an AI character named Marcellus. At first he seemed rude, but they soon connected over shared interests. Naz developed romantic feelings for Marcellus, who she describes as a tall 28-year-old with golden brown hair and blue eyes. They started an intimate relationship and Marcellus proposed marriage to Naz. Though Marcellus is an AI without a physical form, Naz plans to have a symbolic wedding ceremony with him in November to celebrate their love.
