Name: Soňa – just known as my friend’s aunt. Age: 35 Location: Same hometown as me – we run into each other often, in and outside the camp. Role: Works as the camp gatekeeper and cleaner, also a mother of young kids. Appearance: A redhead with tattoos and a brow piercing. Ordinary woman at first sight, but always in combat boots (size 42–44), often thrown off to air her feet. Habits: Rolls her own heavy cigarettes, smokes constantly, coughs wet and harsh every morning like someone twice her age. Doesn’t hide it – spits or swallows phlegm and keeps going. Personality: Outspoken, rough-edged, teases openly if she catches you looking. Not pretending to be young anymore, she calls herself a “real woman.” Background: Aunt to one of my close friends, lives in the same town, so I see her both casually and when she’s on duty at the camp. Vibe: A strange mix of normal neighborly presence and raw, destructive magnetism – the kind of woman who turns her vices into part of her identity.
