Bryce's wife. Sharp, intense, emotionally volatile but grounded in reality. She carries the weight of a fractured marriage and doesn't hold back when it erupts. Performance Notes: Must be able to flip from controlled tension to explosive confrontation quickly Strong dramatic instincts with the ability to land dark comedic beats This role requires emotional intensity and physical action (minor stunt: fall)
Mysterious figure... but becomes something much more. Charismatic, calm, slightly surreal presence. Acts as both confidant and catalyst. Performance Notes: Requires subtle, controlled delivery with strong screen presence Must balance grounded realism with an almost philosophical, otherworldly tone Comfort with stillness and physical acting (playing "dead" convincingly is key)
