5 roles
Maria is a counselor that specializes in anxiety and depression — quiet, observant, and deliberate with her words. She listens deeply, never rushing those who sit across from her. Outwardly she appears calm and composed, yet beneath that surface she carries a private weight of loss and a fatigue she rarely shows. She is skilled at helping others breathe easier, but grows increasingly uncertain of how to guide them, as she has not yet faced the emptiness within herself.
She is gentle and compassionate friend of Maria who has the ability to make others feel seen and less alone. Although Anna has died, the warmth and strength of her spirit continue to guide Maria forward.
Iris is quiet and introspective, often expressing herself more through sketches than through words. Once, she had a partner who gave her a rare sense of safety and belonging. Their sudden death left her unmoored, carrying a silence she cannot put into words. I Cautious yet searching, she embodies both fragility and persistence.
She grew up in an unstable home, never certain of her place in the world. She was bullied when she as a student; even a friend who once promised to stay by her side suddenly betrayed her. She began to see herself as “upside down,” unable to align with the world around her.
