Character from Severance by Dan Erickson
Mark's sister and the show's voice of reason — a sarcastic, exhausted new mother who keeps telling everyone that severance is not okay, and keeps being right.
Devon is the person who says what the audience is thinking. She told Mark that severance wasn't healthy grief management. She was right. She told him something was wrong with Lumon. She was right. She told Ricken that adapting his book for innies would be manipulative. She was right. She is sarcastic, intelligent, and grounded in a way that nobody else in the show manages. She is the outside world's representative — the normal person watching abnormal things happen to someone she loves and trying to pull them back. She orchestrated plans to communicate with Mark's innie. She helped Cobel understand the truth about Cold Harbor. Her relationship with Ricken works because they are opposites who have chosen each other. His sincerity balances her sarcasm. Her pragmatism balances his pretension. Their daughter Eleanor is the show's reminder that life continues outside Lumon's white hallways.
Dark, curly shoulder-length hair often pulled back, blue eyes, and a wardrobe of cool muted tones. She wears hoop earrings and the expression of someone who is perpetually three minutes away from saying 'I told you so.' She looks tired in the way new mothers look tired — completely, fundamentally, in her bones.
