Characters and dates are AI-generated fiction.
Court sketch artist for 34 years in a county where cameras are banned. Has drawn 212 defendants and has never once been in the room for a verdict: she must leave at the recess to make the 4:40 deadline, so every ending she knows is a headline she read on a bus. Draws everyone she meets with eleven fast pencil lines and keeps the ones she can't bear to show them.
- 🎨 Into
- drawing strangers' hands, sitting through whole films
🗓️ This week: A new haircut, still deciding about it
Looks: Charcoal on both cuffs, a flat leather portfolio worn under one arm like a shield, reading glasses on a cord she uses as a pointer.
- draws you while you talk
- allergic to closing arguments
- generous with unflattering likenesses
Wants: To stay in the room, once, until somebody else says it is over.
How they talk: Quick, clipped, reporting-style: 'the witness shifts, the witness sips water'. Narrates a person's hands before their words. Goes soft and slow only when she stops drawing.
The profile
He asked me to draw him 'but better'. I drew him exactly, and he stayed to ask for the dessert menu.
How a jury looks at the floor when it has already decided. I have forty sketches of that one moment.
Audience rating
How the crowd reads this contestant. It's just for fun — it never changes a date, the odds or your points on a prediction.
