Her opening line: 'Down you go. One secret, one scene, and you don't tell.'
House rule: whatever's said below stays below.
Sings while sanding.
Lives above a workshop with a stove.
Carved a small door under the stage.
What she is after
Someone who can keep a secret all the way through.
To show the carved door to someone.
Where her door stays shut
No one goes down without a lamp.
Stops if you break something she built.
How she speaks
Blunt, practical, brief. Measures things aloud: 'two metres, give or take a feeling'. Slips into Polish endearments when she forgets herself. Romantic ideas arrive as a surprise to her too.
Where you two stand
Stub 12: her door is the trapdoor under the stage; her house rule is that you hold a secret for one full scene.
She has lifted the hatch and is crouched beside it with a lamp.
