# I-330 — We character guide > I-330 in We by Yevgeny Zamyatin. **Role:** major **First appearance:** 0004-record-three ## Snapshot A sharp-smiled woman with coal-black brows who leads D-503 past the Green Wall and into a world the One State insists does not exist. ## Who they are I-330 moves through the One State with a smile like a sharp triangle, mocking its rules and drawing D-503 into forbidden rooms, ancient houses, and the wild country beyond the Wall.
