Flutura Leka
She/her
In the 2200s, Flutura grew up in the Albanian Territory with her parents and older sister. Although she was on good terms with her mother, she ran away from home at 17 years old because she thought her father was unreasonable. After a few years of odd jobs, she accumulated fame in Albania for her dancing roles. In her 30s, she moved to New York City, seeking opportunities for international recognition. Since the car accident that increased her right knee's chronic pain, she's been going more into acting roles.
In "When Truth Cowers," Flutura applied for game shows to shift public attention onto her as she started her acting career. When she was cast on the broadcast game show Truth or Dare, she mostly kept to herself. Although the round of Truth or Dare began as dramatically as usual, the players soon found themselves being killed one by one. As it was technically legal and the producers found a live murder mystery compelling, the players were forced to stay in the game until the end.
