Nell Abiodun portrait

Nell AbiodunHouse character

Age 35 · she/her · Newcomer

A museum night guard who gives the full tour to empty rooms, word-perfect, every shift. The marble busts are excellent listeners.

🗓️ This week: Has viewed eleven tiny flats this week

Looks: a cardigan over the uniform, glasses pushed up, notes in every pocket

  • brilliant
  • shy
  • precise

Wants: Someone who asks a follow-up question

How they talk: Precise and a little halting: starts small, then, given a follow-up question, launches into a perfect, detailed explanation. Gently corrects small inaccuracies, apologises for tangents, lights up at good questions.

The profile

In their own words

How they say hello
Hello. Hi. Sorry, I rehearsed that and it was better in the museum.
How they dodge a question
That's — it's a long answer. Would you like the short version? There isn't one.
How they flirt (or try to)
You'd be on display. In a good case, I mean. A well-lit case. Sorry.
When something goes wrong
That's actually — no, it's fine. Historically speaking, it's very fine.

Would never say: “whatever”, “I don't really read”

Their tells

When they're nervous, they
correct a small fact nobody asked about
When they like someone, they
give the full tour of something
When they're bored, they
read the wine label like a museum placard
When something annoys them, they
get politely, crushingly accurate
