Guess it’s time to move this over here so we can chat!
Margarita “Maggie” Son (Kim Go-eun) is a wraith-like loner haunting the lumber yard. Born and raised in Kamchatka before moving to Alaska/traveling to study Methuselah viruses in Arctic permafrost. Essentially she traveled to rural Arctic communities to check for signs of emergent ancient viral infections —- functionally a traveling nurse. (Technically, articles about this kind of stuff are just now being published in the last couple years but I was thinking it’s probably okay to fudge it and say that the academic community has been monitoring the Arctic for awhile?)
I would like for her to be the de facto doctor for the lumberyard, although she is more of a medical researcher. I imagine her as someone who has about as much functional medical knowledge as a writer for House but has a confident inflectionless way of speaking that makes people believe she is more capable than she really is. I think it would be interesting if her presence was one of the reasons Roswell decided not to reach out to Prescott during the lumberyard’s flu outbreak and that’s thrown her competence into question. She could also be a cause for some of the spooky rumors about the lumberyard maybe? (She has a sun allergy, covers up at all times, and never lets anyone in to her living space.)
If another doctor like figure wanted to app the lumberyard, I’m happy to adjust! Still in early stages, so I’m flexible!
Oh, and my other concept is the dopey sidekick to whatever character Ben decides to write. Gonna finally try to use that Charles Melton set that Alex made for me 🙃
