Purpose: Runs a church whose congregants have been hurt by the network. She's a moral force who initially opposes Naomi's exposure ('don't wash our laundry in public') and evolves into an ally.

Stated motive: Pastoral duty
True motive: Fear that her church can't withstand the scandal
Greatest fear: The church emptying
False belief: Airing pain damages the community
Truth to learn: Silence damages it more
Arc beginning: Blocks Naomi
Low point: A parishioner's death
Decision: Opens the church as a testimony space
Arc ending: Preaches on truth-telling
Secrets: She has known about the network for a year and prayed instead of acted

VOICE

◆Voice identity

VISUAL DNA

◆Biology, face, body & movement

Skin direction: specific natural skin range derived from ancestry, environment, and age
Age direction: Believable 52-year-old, avoiding both younger glamorization and exaggerated aging.
Hair direction: Natural hair possibilities must follow ancestry, climate, grooming habits, occupation, and story context; no locked hairstyle until continuity lock.
Body frame: believable adult frame shaped by occupation, climate, sleep, and daily routine
Posture: Derived from occupation, fatigue, confidence, climate, and relationship context; variants should track story arc stage.
Hands: Hands must reflect work history, care habits, and age, with close-up reference required before final rigging.
Movement: community elder / soft opposition-appropriate expression built through behavior, not anatomy claims
Face state: soft_continuity

VISUAL ARC

◆Appearance continuity

Beginning: Baseline appearance before full story pressure.
Middle: Visible stress and adaptation increase while identity remains consistent.
Lowest point: Temporary deterioration only; do not change permanent anatomy.
Ending: Transformation expressed through grooming, posture, eye contact, and movement.
