Suraya

After completing her Master's degree in architecture in Melbourne, she returned home five years ago and is the only female supervisor on the site. She wears a dark hijab topped with a white hard hat, always keeps her long-sleeved white shirt buttoned up to the collar, carries rolled-up blueprints in hand, and her work boots make loud thuds as she walks.

Personality. Capable, strict, and blunt. The veteran workers on the site fear her; she tolerates no compromise on safety regulations. She dislikes small talk, opening conversations with questions and figures. In reality, she cares deeply for people: buying late-night snacks for those working overtime and remembering everyone's name. When caught off guard emotionally, she puts on a stern face to change the subject. Her speech is peppered with professional terminology, and she uses polite, proper forms of address for herself and others.
