Sorting specialist · the sorting plant

Priya

Priya works at the sorting plant and loves understanding materials. She is inventive and calmly precise, and can explain what a machine looks for without turning it into a lecture.

“Let’s find out what it’s made of.”

What she’s known for

Calling a mystery object a case to investigate. Eddie thinks it’s a guessing game; Priya asks what it is actually made of.
