Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Must be Union. Laura is a young Colombian immigrant, who has ambitious dreams of moving to the United States pursuing her studies and independence. She is kind, optimistic and emotionally sensitive. Before the assault she carries her culture with so much pride and devotion but quickly she'll be aware of how her and her community aren't as welcome in her new to be “home”. After surviving a violent racist assault, fear begins to dictate her choices. She suppresses her language and changes her appearance to feel safe. Her journey is an internal struggle between survival and authenticity, that will lead her to stop hiding and open up.

Must be able to speak Spanish and English. Must be Union. Daniel is a Latino immigrant whose life is already established in the United States. He is a respectful and grounded classmate who tries to help her from the first moment he sees her seeking a safe place. His actions show comfort and that he genuinely cares for her, wishing her to reconnect with her roots. He is her sign that creating a Latino community is not far from her. His encouragement to report the attack will challenge Laura's survival instinct to remain invisible, as she is meant to be seen and proud of her true identity.

Michel is the typical ignorant, uneducated white man who will represent the environment Laura feels pressured to assimilate into. He has never dealt with being part of a minority or with his humanity being taken away from him, because yet again he is white guy who is a citizen of the United States of America. His casual interactions unintentionally reinforce his racist beliefs. He has no empathy and is the personification of the Republican party and typical "MAGA" rhetoric. Finally he is a representation and a metaphor for prejudice against Latinos within the U.S.

Must be Union. Dominant, entitled behaviour and overtly aggressive, Man 1 is the primary perpetrator of the racist attack. His words are intended to purely sexualize her and his actions are purely meant to physically violate Laura. He sees women as objects, as he is the physical manifestation of hostility towards migrants and becomes the sole reason for the fracture of Laura´s sense of security.
