Digital reconstruction supplied by the project and generated with Tripo. It is not an archaeological scan or a metric replica. The model is displayed at approximately life size: 1.58 m tall, the same height as in the Sarımğara game; this is a design decision for a fictional character, not an archaeological measurement. Ena is a fictional character from Sarımğara, a setting inspired by Çakmaktepe around 9600 BCE. The figure is shown in the technical T-pose in which the model was delivered, without a skeleton or animation; face, clothing and accessories are an interpretation, not an archaeological portrait.
History and context
She likes ordering the beads, trying colours and finishing well what she starts. Lorn helps her with the stonework; she composes and strings the necklace. When Luma chooses a bead Ena had set aside, the two look for where to place it.
Ena is Tala's daughter and Daro's partner. Accepting help does not always come easily to her. When Luma falls ill, she has to share tasks and let others accompany her too. The child recovers, but the narrative does not attribute that recovery to the necklace or a ceremony.
Evidence and interpretation
This character, her name and her relationships are fiction. The setting is inspired by Çakmaktepe c. 9600 BCE; her scenes are not biographies recovered by archaeology.
Skin and leather clothing and documented regional setting; face, identity and kinship fictional.

Who does each part
In the fiction, the necklace allows us to distinguish tasks a finished object does not show separately: preparing the stone, choosing the order, stringing and repairing. When watching the scene, follow the changes of hands. Lorn's technical help and Ena's decisions on composition are distinct contributions. Nor should we assume all pieces were finished in a single afternoon.

The work that surrounds it
Interruptions matter too. Ena prepares fibres and agrees what she can do while others fetch water, repair or tend the children. Notice how she explains what help she needs and what she wants to continue herself. This is a way of reading the organisation of the invented camp, not proof that women at Çakmaktepe performed identical tasks or that kinship fixed all jobs.
One history, two perspectives

Ena ↔ Lorn
Lorn, who helps her work the stone
Ena turns to Lorn for tasks needing her stone expertise. She listens to her instructions, tests the pieces and decides with Luma where to place them: the necklace is made by several hands.

Luma, her daughter
Ena prepares the necklace thinking of Luma. When the girl chooses an irregular bead, she realises she can let her participate without having to decide for her how everything should turn out.
