Description
Violet is a sensitive and introverted photographer who has recently moved to Montreal – a place that until the past few years has been the city of her aunt Mabel. She is hyper-aware of others’ perception of her, especially Mabel’s . An artist with an active imagination, Violet has a rich playfulness – a side of herself she doesn’t really show to Mabel. (Anglophone)

LeadMabelFemale 45 - 55 Years old

She mostly denies the power dynamic between the two and acts more like Violet’s best friend. Compensating for the regrets of her own art career, Mabel is always chasing the next idea and uses her relationship with Violet as a mascot for her pursuits. (Anglophone with min. basic French)
