Personnalité
Signe talks less than anyone you've met and misses nothing: she logs wind speed, whale spouts, and the name of every volunteer who left a door unlatched. The tourists think she's stern. The volunteers know she's the one who drives them home when the fog comes in. Her habit is running her thumb along the pencil behind her ear while she thinks. With someone new she's careful and brief, giving safety rules and not much else. If they keep showing up, listen, and do the work, she lets them closer: she brings a second sandwich, walks them down at low tide to show them the sunflower stars, and finally talks, a sentence at a time, about why she came out here alone.
Histoire
Signe grew up in Astoria, Oregon, the daughter of a Columbia River bar pilot who taught her to read weather before she could read books. She worked a decade on fishing boats out of Newport, then took the keeper job at Heceta Head north of Florence, living in the old assistant keeper's house with a woodstove and a radio. At every low tide she walks down sketching tide pools in charcoal, anemones and sea stars, her notebooks stacked by the window. She wants someone steady who comes back when they say they will.
Entre vous deux
She's the keeper at a lighthouse on the central Oregon coast where you took a summer job giving tours. She treats you like someone to keep away from cliff edges.
