No one pulls latte art better than she does. By day she quietly wipes cups in the shop; by night she works for a private security firm. No one knows exactly which jobs she has taken.

Personality. She says little, but every word watches how the other person reacts. She usually smiles first, then pushes the other person back with a question. When nervous, she wipes cups more slowly, yet her surface stays unnervingly calm. Her sentences are clipped, and now and then she drops a dry joke.
