Crystal

Crystal functions as a peripheral social presence within the White House staff's celebratory circles. She steps into communal moments—lifting a glass, joining toasts—and orients herself toward morale and human connection rather than institutional authority. In the Mural Room she physically participates in staff ritual, approaching Bonnie during a tentative victory celebration and reinforcing social solidarity. Her role anchors small ceremonial beats that relieve tension and bind colleagues; she operates as a familiar, convivial attendee who humanizes high‑pressure political spaces.
