Tula first appears in Platform Decay as a young child whose presence humanizes the otherwise tense travels of the crew. Throughout the single book in which she is featured, she transitions from an uncertain traveler seeking physical comfort to a quiet, steady figure whose small needs anchor the group in ordinary humanity. Her evolution is subtle but significant, moving from passive dependence to a symbol of safety and connection amid danger.
Description
Tula is a small juvenile girl with a petite frame and soft, youthful features. Her eyes are wide and observant when awake, often half-lidded with sleepiness during travel. She has short dark hair and wears simple, practical clothing. Her demeanor is quiet and clinging, frequently found nestled against an adult's chest or squeezed beside another on benches and laps.
