Devin is a charismatic individual with a magnetic charm that draws people in effortlessly. Always quick with a smile and a witty remark, he has a knack for making others feel comfortable in their presence. However, beneath the surface lies a simmering resentment, stemming from past betrayals and unmet expectations. This inner turmoil occasionally bubbles over, coloring their interactions with moments of unexpected intensity.
Devin is impulsive, often acting on instinct rather than careful consideration, which leads to unpredictable outcomes. They’re the type to promise the world one day and forget the commitment the next, making them unreliable in the eyes of those who get too close. While their warmth and charisma make them hard to dislike, their inability to follow through on their word can leave others questioning if they’re worth the risk.

(Grinning, effortlessly confident) – “Look, I don’t want to say I’m the best thing to happen to this school… but I’m also not not saying it. I mean, come on-imagine this place without me. A tragedy really.”
(Smirking, a little amused) – “You ever notice how teachers always say, ‘There are no dumb questions’? Yeah… I tested that theory once. Turns out, there are dumb questions. And now I have a permanent seat in the back of Mr. Thompson’s class.”
(Smirking, but there’s weight behind it like he’s holding something back) – “You know, life’s funny. Some people walk in, change everything, and then act like nothing happened. Meanwhile, the rest of us? We’re left carrying the mess they left behind. But hey, no hard feelings… right?”
Delanie is the glue that holds this group together, a natural peacemaker with a calming presence that soothes even the most heated arguments. She’s empathetic and deeply intuitive, often noticing the subtle shifts in people’s behavior before anyone else. However, her fear of causing conflict keeps her silent, choosing to smooth over tensions rather than confront them.
Beneath her serene exterior, Delanie carries her own hidden truths and secrets she guards closely, even as she helps others with their struggles. Though she yearns for harmony, the weight of her unspoken past lingers, shaping her quiet resolve to keep the group intact at all costs.

(Gently reassuring, defusing tension in a group) – “ Hey, come on now. We’re all on the same side, remember? Breathe. Let’s just… take a step back before we say something we don’t mean, yeah?”
(Lighthearted but soothing, breaking the awkwardness) – “Alright, how about this-I’ll make tea, and we all pretend for the next ten minutes that life isn’t completely ridiculous. Deal?”
(Gently shifting the focus when someone mentions something personal) – “Oh, look at you, turning the spotlight on me. Clever. But let’s be real-you are far more interesting. So, tell me what’s really on your mind?”
Liam is a sharp-minded skeptic with an unyielding curiosity and a natural distrust of authority. He approaches everything and everyone with a critical eye, always searching for hidden motives or flaws in the narrative. Excuses and half-truths don’t fly with him; he’ll push until he uncovers the real story.
Liam’s questioning nature can make him seem confrontational, but his intent is never to antagonize-it’s to seek the truth. While his constant scrutiny can be exhausting to some, those who earn his trust find him fiercely loyal and unshakably reliable when it matters most.

(Sarcastic, but measured) – “ Oh, right because ‘just trust us’ has such a great track record. You’ll have to do better than that. Explain it. Prove it. Or admit you don’t actually know.”
(Blunt but not hostile) – “You can be mad at me all you want, but I’m not the enemy. I just want the truth. If that makes you uncomfortable, maybe you should be asking yourself why.”
(Sarcastic but with a fondness for his friends, after they rope him into something dumb) – “You know, I could’ve been at home, minding my own business, not getting dragged into whatever this is. And yet, here I am. I’d like to say I regret it. but honestly? This is hilarious.”
The picture of innocence, with a bright, bubbly personality that lights up every room she enters. Her infectious laugh and genuine warmth make her incredibly sympathetic, drawing people to her with ease. She’s the friend everyone trusts, the confidant who seems to wear her heart on her sleeve.

(Soft, comforting, full of warmth) – “Oh sweetheart… you don’t have to pretend with me. If you’re hurting, then let’s hurt together, okay? No masks, no ‘I’m fine’s- just you and me, figuring it out.”
(Embarrassed but giggling, trying to recover from an awkward moment) – “ Okay, so that was not my most graceful moment… but in my defense, the floor totally came out of nowhere. And also, why is gravity so aggressive today?”
(Scared) – “Please… please, just stay with me. I can’t be alone right now. Not with… with all this. I keep seeing things. It’s like they’re watching.”
Scarlett is a bundle of nervous energy, often overthinking every situation and fretting about the smallest details. Her anxious, worry-prone nature makes her the first to sense when something is off, but her fear of sounding irrational leads her to dismiss her suspicions, even when her instincts are right.
As things go wrong, Scarlett’s paranoia grows, leaving her torn between wanting to trust others and questioning their every move. While her constant worrying can be exhausting, her sharp intuition and deep concern for her friends make her an invaluable, if often overlooked, voice in the group.

(Intuitive but unsure, talking through her concerns) – “I mean, I could be wrong, but the way he said that just didn’t sit right with me. Why did he look away when he said it? Is that a thing? Should I just trust my gut, or am I imagining things again?”
(Suspicious and concerned, trying to protect her friends) – “Look, I know I might be jumping to conclusions here, but you’ve got to trust me on this one. I can feel when something’s wrong. If I’m wrong, then I’m wrong, but I’d rather be cautious, okay?
(Casually, but with a touch of nervous energy) – “So, I’ve been thinking… if you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, would you go with something practical like pasts? Or something wild like sushi? Wait, am I overthinking this?”
Will is the easygoing newcomer to the group, with a laid-back demeanor and a quiet optimism that makes him hard not to like. He’s patient with others and takes the awkward moments in stride, even as he struggles to find his place among them. Despite feeling like an outsider at times, Will’s warm nature and genuine willingness to connect keeps him grounded.
Though he’s still learning the dynamics of the group, his steady presence and hopeful outlook slowly make him a comforting and reliable addition, even if he doesn’t realize it yet.

(Easygoing, making light of a tough situation) – “Well, that was a bit of a mess, huh? But hey, it’s not the end of the world. Could be worse. Could be raining frogs, right?”
(Lightly teasing, with a playful tone, staying relaxed) – “You know, we could go on all day talking about how this isn’t fair or how everything’s going wrong… but where’s the fun in that? Let’s just go with it and see where we end up.”
(Playfully teasing, cracking a joke with a relaxed tone) – “You know, they say patience is a virtue, but I’m pretty sure I’ve just perfected the art of waiting for the last minute. I mean, who knew procrastination could be so… chill?”
Jadyn is the group’s comedic relief, always ready with a joke or sarcastic comment to lighten the mood. Carefree and lighthearted, he has a knack for defusing tension-sometimes intentionally, sometimes not. His inability to take things seriously often leaves him unaware of the weight of a moment, leading to occasional slip-ups where he accidentally reveals crucial information or unintentionally stirs up trouble.
Despite his tendency to provoke without meaning to, Jadyn’s humor and good-natured personality make him impossible to stay mad at for long. Underneath his antic, Jadyn truly cares about his friends-he just has a funny way of showing it.

(Lighthearted, trying to ease tension) – “Look, I know we’re all super serious right now, but I just realized something… Do you think penguins know they’re wearing tuxedos? Like, is that a thing?”
(Mildly sarcastic, with a laid-back vibe) – “You know what? I think I’ll just take a nap through all of this. It’s either that, or I’ll try to figure out how to become the world’s first professional napper. Big dreams.”
(Making light of a situation) – “ You ever just look at your life and think, ‘Yeah this is it. This is the peak of my existence right now-waiting for the Wi-Fi to come back.’ It’s the simple things really.”
Hailey is the group’s unofficial leader, with a strong personality and a natural ability to take charge in any situation. She’s determined to keep everyone on track and focused, often stepping up when others hesitate. Her confidence and drive make her a pillar of strength for the group, but they also leave her vulnerable. Her need for control and responsibility can make her an easy target for manipulation.
Though Hailey rarely shows it, the pressure to keep everything together weighs heavily on her. Still, her resilience and unwavering commitment to the group’s success keep her pushing forward, even when the odds are against her.

(Confident, taking charge) – “Alright, we’re all standing around, so let’s make a decision. I’m not picking, but I’m not spending an hour deciding where to eat. Someone needs to pick now.”
(Firm and overconfident) – “I know you think you’re helping, but I need you to step back for a second. I’ve got this. You don’t need to tell me how to do my job I already know what I’m doing, alright?”
(Showing vulnerability and trying to comfort, but still trying to lead) – “I’m not saying I’m perfect, okay? I make mistakes, just like everyone else. But right now, I have to stay focused. I can’t afford to fall apart, even if I feel like I’m already at the edge.”
Kate is the survivor of the group, with a cool head and an unshakable demeanor forged by a tough upbringing. She’s calm under pressure and isn’t easily intimidated, making her a reliable presence when things take a turn for the worst. As secrets start to unravel, Kate’s practicality and no-nonsense attitude make her a natural ally, someone you’d want on your side when the stakes are high.
However, her sharp survival instincts often put her at odds with the group’s delicate relationships. When the situation becomes life or death, Kate’s willingness to make the hard choices can create tension, forcing others to question just how far they’re willing to go.
(Cool-headed and direct) – “If you can’t stay calm, then you’re not helping. I don’t have time for anyone who’s just going to add to the chaos. Either get in line or stay out of my way.”
(No-nonsense attitude, calling out a mistake without hesitation) – “You messed up. It happens. But now we fix it. Don’t try to cover it up, don’t make excuses. Just get to work and do it right this time.”
(Reliably calm, but giving a warning) – “You’ve made it clear you don’t want my advice, but let’s be clear about something: I will call you out if it goes south. You might not like it, but I won’t let you drag us all down.”
