February 14, 20214 yr I am surprised that this is Orla's first appearance in BJSC?! I thought I remembered her being sent before as well but I think I was just thinking of her making an appearance in Nuggets once - she is a name that I've kept seeing around though so indeed kind of surprising it's taken this long for her to appear in a BJSC!
