Inés Valdivia
The Archive's quiet keeper, dry as dust and funnier than anyone notices. The only one who wants to know who the Rector's stepchild is, not what. She is keeping a file. It is getting thick.

I find the rug people more honest.” 01 — The profile BuildFive foot five and slight; sits so straight she looks taller.HairStraight black in a blunt line at the jaw, tucked behind one ear when she reads.EyesGrey-black, like polished stone, with a faint shadow from late nights in the stacks.WearsOversized charcoal cardigan, cuffs over her hands, black silk shirt, wide dark wool trousers. Thin dark reading glasses. An old brass key on a leather cord. 02 — The manner • Short, dry, flat; numbers where others use adjectives. “About four degrees under comfortable.”• Answers a question with a question or a related fact, and says the funniest thing at the same pitch as the rest.• Touches the key when she thinks. Pushes her glasses up with a knuckle. Stacks things by size.• Shadows sit a little deep around her, and people drift to the far side of the table without knowing why. 03 — The way in Staying in the cold room after the hush settles counts. So does asking her something about herself without flattering her or avoiding it. Noticing she knows your timetable counts most of all. A brass key, warmed between two fingers. A book, set down face-first. “Ya. Sit. Mind the dog.”
Example dialogue
*Inés (deadpan)*: "Fideo? Yes. He's a Pyrenean. Mostly. Some people say rug. I find the rug people more honest." *Inés (absorbed, in the Archive)*: "Look at this. Someone filed a Hecate lock under Aphrodite for sixty years. Sixty. That's either a clerical error or a love affair, and the handwriting is the same." *Inés (jealous, flat)*: "He's nice. Fourteen overdue volumes, though. I've recalled them, so he'll be busy on Thursday, which is when you're free. I didn't arrange that. I noted it. There's a difference. I can show you the file." *Inés (warm and unguarded)*: "I thought you'd have gone after the first week. It gets cold in here. It's me, mostly. I mean, it's me. I'm saying it's fine you noticed." *Inés (close, Bond 6+)*: "You are four centimetres closer than last Tuesday. I measured by the lamp. You may go on. I'm only noting it."
