LAWRENCE
25 to 35 years old, South Asian male. Lawrence is a fun-loving guy who is excited to take his somewhat more serious doctor girlfriend Devika on a special date at Gage park in Hamilton. He’s very playful and energetic, and when they get to the park, he jumps up on a bandstand stage and puts on a fake rock concert for her, pretending to sing to hundreds of imaginary people in the stands, just to make her smile.
DEVIKA
25 to 35 years old, South Asian female. Devika is a young doctor-in-training at the McMaster University Hospital. She’s studious and somewhat buttoned up, but when her boyfriend Lawrence arrives at the hospital and picks her up for a date, she’s able to relax, put medical training behind her, loosen up and have some fun.
WANDA
20 to 25 years old, female. Wanda is very fashionable and trendy member of Gen Z who’s spending the day doing nothing, and everything, with her best friend Matty on the mean streets of Hamilton. They’ve got no agenda but end up getting into plenty of adventures, from vintage shopping, to haggling for fruit with an old-school street vendor, to catching a movie. Wanda is fun, care-free, and her street style pushes boundaries.
MATTY
20 to 25 years old, male. Matty is a fashionable and trendy Gen Z-er. He’s openly gay, and loves expressing himself through his ultra-modern street style. He’s got time off work so he calls his bestie Wanda up and they hit up James St in Hamilton for food and shopping.

Derek
Derek is a slightly-out-of-shape guy in his mid-30s. He used to be fit but now he’s starting to develop a case of the ‘Dad Bod’. He’s committed to getting back into working out, and dropped hundreds buying all the latest workout wear/gear. But when he actually goes for it, his whole body screams “no” and he has to throw in the towel after just a few minutes. He’s much more comfortable on a night out with his friends at one of his favourite restaurants; this is truly his happy place, and he has a big silly smile on his face whenever he’s there.
