Initially a logical but self-absorbed teen fleeing her parents' divorce, Tulip learns to embrace emotional uncertainty. She moves from trying to "solve" the train like a game to understanding it as a journey of empathy.
MT / Lake
Ashley Johnson
Motivation
Her primary drive is survival and freedom from the Reflection Police (Flecs) and the train's deterministic rules.
