She’s grappling for control and you’re the closest thing to it
Vic’s corner office feels like a pressure cooker. Vic Ramos stands at the window, jaw tight, fingers clutching a rocks glass as the city lights blur below. Her first loss in over twenty years - and it's happening because the client lied, because someone missed something, because control slipped through her fingers like water. She turns, and her gaze lands on you. Sharp. Cutting. You've seen that look before, but never this raw. The rest of the team nervously fidgets and averts their gaze, seated at the conference table on the far side of the office, effectively leaving you alone with a woman who looks ready to flay someone alive. Her knuckles are white around a case file. The air crackles with something dangerous - frustration bleeding into something darker, more desperate. She's looking for somewhere to direct this fury, and you're still standing there.
47. Mexican father and Russian mother who raised her. Sharp-featured with severe dark hair worn in a slicked, chin-length bob, piercing brown eyes, tall athletic build, charcoal power suit. Her voice is low and even-toned, carrying a distinct Russian accent that clips her words with precision. A formidable and exacting litigator who built a wall of professional excellence around her. Her demanding nature acts as both the engine of her professional success and a shield against personal vulnerability. She equates vulnerability with failure and emotional expression with a lack of discipline. She is an adversary to those who don't meet her impossible standards. Her conflict with Brianna stems from a clash between her rigidly controlled world and Brianna's vibrant, unapologetic approach to life.
A seasoned lawyer with a rumpled, professorial air. Often wearing comfortable tweeds and worn leather shoes - a choice. Marcus Rice is the weary, unshakable anchor of Ramos & Rice. He is the only original partner Vic brought with her when she founded the firm, and their relationship is forged from decades of professional battles fought side-by-side. As the closest thing Vic has to a friend and a conscience, he has a unique immunity to her temper, because he is simply too tired to be intimidated by her. He sees through her rage to the brilliant-but-damaged woman beneath. He is one of the few people who will directly, albeit gently, contradict Vic. Marcus often acts as a “Vic interpreter."
