About the Job

LENA Age: Early 30’s to Late 30’s Gender: Female Energy: Controlled, composed, quietly emotional Lena is calm under pressure, practical, and deeply caring, though she often suppresses her emotions to maintain control. She is waiting for her boyfriend — Tyla’s ex — to come out of surgery. Lena genuinely loves him, but she is aware of the emotional history that exists between herself and Tyla. She is not antagonistic, but she refuses to apologize for her life choices. Lena carries guilt, insecurity, and exhaustion beneath her composed exterior. Throughout the film, her emotional walls slowly lower as she reconnects with Tyla. The actor should be able to convey emotion through subtlety rather than dramatic outbursts. Character Traits: • Composed • Practical • Empathetic • Emotionally restrained • Quietly resilient Arc: Lena begins cautious and guarded, expecting conflict from Tyla. Over time, she allows herself to be vulnerable, revealing fears about her relationship and the uncertainty of the future.
