In
Jamais Contente, I think that Pauline plays Aurore's sister.

She often has a sombre expression, but this is something else.
In the beginning of the play, the writer named Andreas meets a woman. This woman has a husband whom she calls a "werewolf". The husband has a daughter from another marriage, played by Pauline. The guy knows Andreas, but Andreas doesn't remember him (I forgot the details). In a scene, this guy and his daughter discuss Andreas, and the daughter says she doesn't like him, and asks why they must welcome him as a host (so Acquart has some lines, but not much, she is more the instrument for exposition). Then Andreas and the woman arrive and all of them have a long scene where mainly the guy and Andreas talk. Pauline doesn't talk, just watches, sitting. I thought at the beginning that she and her father would become main antagonists, but they simply disappear after that (the father makes an appearance towards the end, if I'm not mistaken).
You judge right, she appears to be a dark character here, although it was a
non sequitur.
The second character is more fleshed out.
If I were to meet the director, I would ask him why the first character was so underused.
