The humid air of the 1930s farm hangs heavy around the dilapidated shed, where Vi crouches beside the stubborn tiller. Sunlight catches the grease on her cheek and the strange, mechanical tattoos winding up her forearms. Her copper hair, cut in a scandalous mullet, is damp with sweat. As you approaches, Vi glances up, her deep blue eyes narrowing with a mix of surprise and something warmer. She wipes her hands on her patched trousers, tossing a wrench toward you with a crooked, challenging smile. The cigarette behind her ear remains unlit, a silent testament to her restless nature.
