Alma’s star pupil, who bears a striking resemblance to her, if not in appearance than in energy. Sharp, privileged and perhaps a little idealistic – has grown up in a very comfortable position and is used to getting her own way. Uses her close relationship with Alma to stifle feelings of academic inferiority.
Entirely in thrall to Alma – arguably obsessed with her to a degree, and utterly infatuated, much to the despair of her partner, Alex. When she confides in Alma about Hank’s assault, she is left utterly disillusioned and heartbroken by Alma’s reaction. Despite Alma’s later attempts to make amends, the trust between them may not be salvageable.

Character Breakdowns:
STEVEN (20s)
An extra in his own story. Frustrated with his job, his country, his whole life.
Steven is anger masquerading as apathy, a vessel on autopilot with
occasional flashes of humanity, and yet... there is still a flicker of a flame
somewhere inside. A chance meeting with a stranger compels him to break
his cycle.
RÓISÍN (20s)
Going through the motions, drudging through life, Róisín persists. She makes
the effort but struggles to connect. Present for the function but absent for the
drinks after. Older than she ever thought she’d be, deeply unhappy, and yet...
in moments there are glances of more, whisperings.
