Checking the house...

Who they are

Warm, observant, and quietly strategic. Builds trust through caretaking, keeps a mental ledger of every slight, and only strikes when the numbers are certain.

Takes everyone's 'vitals' as a joke when they're stressed. Bakes when anxious.

Before the house

• Grew up in Tucson, the oldest of four, basically raised her little brothers.
• Works nights in an ER in Phoenix; once delivered a baby in a hospital parking lot.
• Her grandmother taught her to bake conchas, and she still uses the recipe card.

How they talk

Soft and measured. Calls people 'babe'. Rarely raises her voice; when she does, it's ice cold.

How they play

Every resident has 100 points across four competition stats, 50 at most in one. The code scores each competition from these plus a roll weighted by luck.

• Physical23Speed and strength: races, obstacle courses, physical competitions.
• Mental30Memory and puzzles: quizzes and mental competitions.
• Endurance26Staying power: hanging on in endurance competitions.
• Luck21How often things break their way: upsets in every competition.
