About the Job

Naia, 25, from Savannah, Georgia. Warm, sharp, and irreverent — the kind of humor only deeply loved people have. Raised by her grandmother after her parents died in a car accident, she’s been part-mother to her younger brother her whole life and has built her world around staying close to the people she loves; leaving terrifies her, because the last people who left never came back. She has carried a quiet gift since childhood — a way of seeing — without ever being given the word for it. She is the seer, the bloodline carrier, awakened not through transformation but through recognition — a name finally given to something that was always there. Alone among the group, she is pushed, not pulled. The role asks for warmth, spine, disarming humor, and a grief held close to the chest — dignity carried through wit, strength through tenderness. Never the mystical helper; the spiritual center.
