Jenny Cosgrove

Jenny is grounded, observant, and more stubborn than she initially sounds. As a teenager, she speaks carefully and tries to keep her fear under control. Her nervousness should appear in shortened breaths, unfinished thoughts, and increasingly direct warnings—not constant stammering or helplessness. She knows Damon well enough to tease him, challenge him, and recognize when his behavior stops feeling normal.

In the present, that nervousness has hardened into exhausted conviction. Jenny has spent thirteen years being told that her memories are mistaken, impossible, or fabricated. She does not sound melodramatic or cryptic; she sounds like someone who has repeated the same true story so many times that every word has acquired scar tissue. When challenged, her frustration comes from being forced to prove that someone she loved ever existed.

Her warmth should remain audible beneath the strain. Damon was not simply “the missing boy” to her. He was her best friend, someone with whom she had an easy, lived-in rhythm. The strongest performance will make their ordinary banter feel safe enough that his disappearance genuinely hurts.
