"Namhla is ambitious, intelligent, cunning, slightly aloof, and fiercely independent. Namhla has a complicated relationship with her parents, Lucy Diale and Jack Mabaso. She loves Lucy deeply, but their relationship has always been a tough one to navigate. Jack, on the other hand, wants to groom Namhla so that she can move into his world, which is a world that Namhla is intrigued by.
"When Namhla returns to our world, she is no longer the gawky, geeky, shy and awkward teenager she was before. Her time living and working overseas has changed her. She has become worldly, confident in her skills and talent, and yearns for a big life. A life she thinks Jack can give her.
