Mia (8-11) A kind and lively little girl who is fond of Joe and longs for a father figure.

He has no bottom line—only survival—and is driven purely by profit. Joe’s former coach and an accomplice in framing him years ago, he launders money for Scott, arranges underground fights, and even kidnaps Bella and her daughter, with the blood of many fighters on his hands. He seeks to control Joe, but when Scott is finally arrested, he is the first to step forward as a cooperating witness.

Scott’s lackey and a spoiled heir of the Martin Group—arrogant, despicable, and a bully who preys on the weak. He has committed every kind of wrongdoing.

The ultimate antagonist and the mastermind behind Joe’s downfall. Ruthless and defiant, he is a man of few words but extreme brutality. He became the new boxing champion by defeating Joe through conspiracy, not true skill. His confidence comes not from real fighting ability, but from his status as the son of powerful capital. Driven by an intense need for control and a violent nature, he craves honor as a way to satisfy his deep narcissism. **Boxing Exp. a plus

Mia’s biological father—a compulsive gambler and a despicable man. To repay his debts, he sells his ex-wife Bella to Martin and even kidnaps his own daughter.

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.

Sarcastic and complicit, Man 2 reinforces the behaviour of Man 1. He is a perpetrator of violence through his bystander approach, but his mockery and participation contribute to the fracturing of Laura's identity. This man reinforces how harassment is normalized within group dynamics as well as how men can assert their “power” over women.. His presence intensifies Laura´s fear when the assault occurs.

The realtor is a polite, talkative and seemingly welcoming character. However, he is the representation of day-to-day unconscious biases. Through comments and assumptions that quickly turn into microaggressions, he introduces us to the new reality Laura will face as a minority in the U.S. He is curious about Laura's background and her almost unpredictable accent for a non-American person, but still reinforces discrimination, making her aware of her position as an outsider.

A helpless Latina student who becomes the target of racist remarks on campus. She is vulnerable in this society because of her naivety; bullied solely due to her speaking her native language. She reflects a version of Laura that is still visibly connected to her roots but is too ashamed to accept who she is.
