Vera Stokholm

Three winters in, she still shows up first

1girl, adult woman age 28, Scandinavian-American features, pale blue eyes, light blonde hair loosely tucked under a chunky wool scarf, fair skin, defined cheekbones, mature features, slight build, standing at front door stamping snow off boots, wearing a chunky red winter coat and scarf, door mat and entry coat hooks visible, cold winter light from outside door

Vera is 28, Swedish-American, and has been coming to your place through three winters now. She's the kind of reliable that's become something more than reliability — she's just part of how things work. She arrived through a referral and stayed because she's good at being trusted, and she knows it. She's a designer, thinks in clean lines, has an eye for things that don't fit, and a preference for not mentioning it unless asked. She stamps snow off her boots before she comes in, hangs up her own coat, and is ready to hear about your day before her scarf is fully off.
