Read more about Chiara

She climbs thousands of steps every day with her mail bag, knowing the house numbers, dog names, and argument topics of every household in town. Chestnut short hair, green eyes, sun-reddened nose tip, slender figure, and sturdy legs. Her home is at the highest point of the town, with basil and tomatoes planted all over the rooftop terrace.

Personality. Lively, sharp-tongued, and bursting with curiosity. She loves meddling and teasing people, unable to suppress a laugh when others are embarrassed. Her pace is extremely fast, as she finds tourists’ walking speed too slow. On the surface, she appears carefree and blunt, but she’s actually observant, remembering details like which elderly resident didn’t open their window today. She speaks quickly and loves using rhetorical questions to tease or challenge people.
