Filipino language preferred, not required.

Personality: Tala is everything V is — sharp, dry, composed — but she actually engages with the world instead of narrating from the sidelines. She moved in next door before the guys and immediately clocked them as a disaster. She's competitive, driven, and does not have time for nonsense — and yet she keeps ending up on the guys' couch at 1 AM eating their food.

Comedy: Her reactions to the guys' chaos are surgical. She doesn't yell — she delivers a single, perfectly constructed sentence that dismantles whatever just happened. She and V get into competitions of who can be more unbothered, which is, ironically, the most bothered either of them ever gets.

Heart: She's pre-med because her parents sacrificed everything for her to have the option. She's not sure she wants it — but she's sure she can't be the one who wastes what they gave up. That quiet pressure bonds her to V more than either of them realizes.
