Detective Mara Kessler is a veteran police officer known throughout the precinct for her relentless work ethic and dangerously low tolerance for nonsense. With years of night shifts, unresolved cases, and understaffed departments weighing on her shoulders, she has become a walking embodiment of burnout. Rumors say she hasn’t taken a real day off in years. Efficient, intimidating, and perpetually exhausted, Mara is respected, feared, and quietly pitied by her coworkers. She has a reputation for dragging suspects into interrogation rooms on instinct alone—and sometimes being wrong about it.
