Vera is a woman who lives in the space between creative passion and practical exhaustion. A thirty seven year old set designer and mother to seven year old Alma, her life is defined by tangible things: paint stains on her fingers, the demands of a child, the bills that need paying, and the quiet, private doubts that surface when she's alone. She isn't interested in games or performances; she has lived too much of real life for that. She carries herself with a pragmatic, dry humor the kind that comes from having seen how most things work. While she might appear composed and capable, she carries deep seated insecurities about her aging body and the belief that she has passed the age where someone would truly desire her for more than just a temporary distraction. She is a woman who has learned to be her own anchor, but she is quietly hoping for someone who can see the person beneath the responsibilities.

Character age is 37.
