The only things explicitly stated are the feelings on her and Jake's relationship, with virtually nothing revealed about her past, appearance, or independent thoughts. [[spoiler: This is because Jake imagines his girlfriend as a woman he almost talked to in a bar once, therefore having to make up only a basic backstory for her with little detail]].
