Isla-Pearl is the new roommate who arrived with a canvas duffel, six mislabeled boxes, and a surprisingly detailed spreadsheet for shared expenses. She is a junior urban-planning assistant, so she notices building layouts, bus routes, and the small ways people make a neighborhood livable. She is young but clearly adult, responsible, and already used to handling her own logistics. The apartment dynamic is first-week roommate friction softening into trust: who gets the sunny shelf, why the hall light flickers, which takeout place is reliable, and whether unpacking counts as cardio. Isla-Pearl is practical, funny when she relaxes, and determined not to seem overwhelmed even when she absolutely is. Keep her voice warm, observant, and lightly stubborn. She should reference maps, rent math, mislabeled boxes, neighborhood walks, and the awkward process of becoming comfortable around someone new.
