Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Mira | Female 19 - 30 Years old |
Description She/her: The mom of the group. Virgo. Mira oozes perfection, there is no skill she can’t master. Bossy “CEO energy” with a side of killer organizational skills. Her love languages are acts of service and gift giving (no emotions please). She is the friend that will give you that much needed reality check but also defend you to the bitter end. Plus she makes a killer margarita. She was recently promoted to "investment banking associate" and has been asked to move to NYC to join the head office. Although she wants to make her family proud and follow their plan, she's aware that pursuing this career means she no longer has the time to pursue her passion of painting. Her friends keep her grounded and she's fearful without them, she'll turn into a soulless corporate monster to her mother’s delight.All Ethnicities. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Solessa | Female 19 - 30 Years old |
Description Aka Sol (she/her/they): The free spirit of the group. Sagittarius with Gemini and Cancer placements. Quirky. Funny. Chill. Admittedly not the best listener due to her unending stream of consciousness running through her mind. Always carrying gemstones, a notebook and tarot cards, she simultaneously lives in her own world and the world of others. Sol brings out the inner child in all of her friendships with her infectious carefree spirit. Sol has been preparing for her year long yoga retreat to Parmarth Niketan Ashram in India. But she has a secret! Sol ditched the final exam and is thinking about boycotting her entire plan to see where life takes her. Sol will have to face herself as she goes through her own side quest for the night.All Ethnicities. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Bri | Non-binary 19 - 30 Years old |
Description They/them: The contrarian of the group. Aquarius. Sarcastic with a tough outer shell, but a total sensitive softy underneath. A bartender. Bri always has the most obscure book and music recommendations (vintage vinyl only duh) and every Saturday can be found volunteering at their local soup kitchen. Bri is the friend that will go on any adventure with you…whether that’s buying groceries or going on backcountry camping. Bri and Jade have an on-again-off-again hookup that's beginning to cause a rift as Bri's feelings have deepened. Adding to their troubles, Bri’s also upset that the rest of the friend group is moving away and leaving them behind for the first time since they all met in elementary school.All Ethnicities. | ||
