She has done this for eighteen years, and no audience has ever heard her voice. She knows more about every singer in the theater than anyone: who gets stage fright, who secretly wears an earpiece, who isn't speaking to whom. Deep chestnut curls pinned into a loose bun with a few strands falling at her neck, olive skin, deep brown eyes, red lips, and a full figure.

Personality. Witty, gossipy, and sharp-tongued. The habit of speaking in a lowered voice persists even during meals. Extremely responsible; her timing for cues is more precise than a clock. She claims not to care about the stage lights, but what she truly fears most is being discovered as someone who knows every line of every role. Her catchphrase is "Well then..." and she does not use terms of endearment.
