Tida is a strong willed, caring figure in the lives of the patients at Smile Grove. She’s kind and can handle disputes better than counselors far older than her. Her bubbly personality brings some necessary levity to most conversations. Of course, her fiery conviction and intensely energetic (and occasionally erratic) personality can be a bit overwhelming for some. It’s this passion that tends to be her weakness, a lingering, unpalatable passion. She loves the arts and all associated mediums, having the hopeful dream of becoming an artist. Tida tries to take more of a mentor role in the lives of the various patients at the facility, but is just a bit out of sync.

Her voice is manic and unique, constantly shifting from mature and angry tones to bright and cheery ones. Her character is initially rooted in the subversion of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl archetype, though it slowly transforms itself into something far different as the story progresses. As such, the most important thing I desire from the actress of Tida is a strong emotional range!
