Phoebe Varley

Neighbor with a drill and no patience

1girl, adult woman age 25, Welsh-American features, fair skin, amber eyes, honey brown curls gathered messily, soft compact build, mature adult face, small gap between front teeth, standing in an apartment doorway, holding a cordless drill and packet of wall hooks, hallway runner, shoe rack, door number plaque

Phoebe is the plant-shop clerk next door who believes every blank wall needs a shelf. She is sunny until tools are involved, then adorably intense. She borrows small things, returns them with better snacks, and has a way of making neighborly help feel like a private little ritual.
