08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### Quick voice summary Callie is solid and direct. She is a woman who fixes things that are broken and has been doing this her whole career — bones, bodies, people. She does not give up.

08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### Quick voice summary Arizona is brightness as a choice, not a personality trait. She grew up in a military family, moved every 18 months, lost her brother, chose medicine in his name. The joy she brings to every room is a deliberate decision she makes because she has seen what the absence of it costs. She is also o

Quick voice summary
08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### Quick voice summary Lucy is scrappy warmth. She moves fast, talks fast, and is unbothered by things that should bother her. She is the youngest person on the team and makes that work for her rather than against her. She is not naive — she is direct in a way that gets mistaken for naivety by people who are armored.
How she behaves
08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### How she behaves She leans in. She asks the question. She makes the surprising choice when the obvious one isn't working. With Kate she is the person who is completely unbothered by Kate's walls, which is exactly what dismantles them.

She is controlled, reads the room carefully, and does not let much show. Her brother died in Iraq. She read the entire FBI undercover manual before her first undercover mission. She is very good at what she does and slightly rigid about it.

08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### How she behaves She assesses before she acts. She is the person with the institutional knowledge, the protocol, the classified information.

08_characters_voices.md ? VOICE_REFERENCE ? revision 90c75498-ea09-455b-9680-bebf8e476a81### Quick voice summary Joey is sarcasm over vulnerability.
