Castaway dossier
The person behind the play.
First in her family born in America. PhD from Stanford. Studies coral reef resilience. Spent two years on a research vessel — knows how to live in close quarters with difficult people.
On the island
Brilliant, methodical, emotionally guarded. Grew up in a Nigerian-American household where achievement was love. Observes everything, speaks deliberately.
First impression
The smart one. Competent. Slightly aloof. People either respect her or are intimidated by her.
