Dashiell ‘[name_u]Dash[/name_u]’ [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] Pendry (20) is [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]’s boyfriend. Off the stage, [name_u]Dash[/name_u] is actually quite a shy person, who began theatre as a teenager to help overcome parts of his anxiety. He’s got a touch of the romantic about him though, making his girlfriend a mixtape for her birthday, which consisted of him covering her favourite songs. [name_u]Dash[/name_u] was raised by his single father, who he’s always been close to, and regularly hears from both him and his younger sister - who’s deemed [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] the coolest person she’s ever met.
Zadie [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] Pendry (18) is [name_u]Dash[/name_u]’s younger sister who’s currently in her final year of high school and preparing for college, intending in studying computer sciences. [name_f]Zadie[/name_f]’s a lot more confident than her brother, having a bossy side to her, but she’s gotten better at dialling this back as she’s matured. She plans on studying close to home and continuing to live with her dad, as she’s saving up to buy a car so she can move to a less expensive area for her second year. Recently, [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] got a Syrian hamster - Treacle - and her Twitter is flooded with photos and updates about her.
Hayden [name_f]Daniela[/name_f] [name_m]Reeves[/name_m] (18) is [name_f]Zadie[/name_f]’s best friend, and has been since they were in the third grade. She’s always been a little shy, but [name_f]Zadie[/name_f] has helped bring her out of her shell and now she’s more outgoing than ever. She’s a member of her school’s field hockey team and chorus, although she’s planning to go to college to be a nurse like her older sister. She doesn’t have any pets, but she’d love to have a Siberian Husky one day.
Marieke ‘[name_f]Mari[/name_f]’ [name_f]Leticia[/name_f] Kindberg (17) is one of [name_u]Hayden[/name_u]’s fellow teammates. [name_f]Mari[/name_f]’s father is Danish and she regularly visits his hometown of Farum, speaking the language fluently, and she wishes to take an [name_m]Erasmus[/name_m] year to study there. Competitive and driven, she’s never the most talkative but carries an air of quiet confidence about her. [name_f]Mari[/name_f]’s bi and has a strong bond with her girlfriend, whom she met when the two attended an art school together at just twelve years old. When she isn’t practicing for games, she’ll be hanging around a small, cosey cafe-come-bookshop with her small, tight-knit friend group or walking her family’s dog [name_u]Winter[/name_u], a Norwegian sheepdog.
[name_f]Freja[/name] [name_f]Louise[/name] Kindberg (17) is [name_f]Mari[/name]'s twin sister. She’s on the school’s volleyball team. Like her sister, she carries an air of quiet confidence— but she’s a little more intimidating than that. Even though her social circle mixes in with those stereotypical mean girls, she’s curated her own group of ‘popular’ girls who don’t participate in little catfights like that. Oddly enough, her and her sister are very close, despite their differing personalities.
One of her close friends is in fact dating [name_f]Mari[/name], and [name_f]Freja[/name] has made it abundantly clear that if her sister gets hurt in the relationship— there’s gonna’ be hell to pay.
Siegfried ‘[name_m]Zygi[/name_m]’ [name_m]Charles[/name_m] Kindberg (16) is [name_f]Freja[/name_f] and [name_f]Mari[/name_f]’s younger brother. In contrast to his sisters’, [name_m]Zygi[/name_m] is an expressive, hot headed person who never shies away from voicing his opinions and this has gotten him into trouble on several occasions. He’s a member of the school’s photography club and has a habit of going on walks in the dead of night to capture unique images - sometimes being joined by his close friends.
Zygi’s just gotten into a relationship with one of his fellow club members - who he had a crush on for quite some time - and has swallowed his pride to ask the twins for help on where the best places for dates are.

Like [name_m]Zygi[/name], [name_f]Mae[/name] is involved in the arts— she’s a traditional and digital painter and is vice president of the school’s National Honours Arts Society and the secretary of the photography club. She’s known for painting beautiful portraits of her friends— and it’s gotten to the point where some teachers have also paid her to paint something for them.
She has two older sisters and a lovely white cat she’s named Tsuki.
Kyoko ‘[name_u]Coco[/name_u]’ Miyazaki (17) is [name_f]Mae[/name_f]’s older sister, being the middle daughter, and a close friend of [name_f]Freja[/name_f]. [name_u]Coco[/name_u] has absolutely no interest in sports, but attends volleyball games to support her friends; with her own passion being creative writing. She hopes to become an author some day and writes a lot of surrealist pieces, many of which have a comedic element to them, but [name_u]Coco[/name_u] tends to be reluctant to let others read them as she’s very self-critical.
She’s always willing to model for her younger sister and other photography club members, although her collected and graceful demeanor can be seen as intimidating.
This is [name_u]Haley[/name_u] [name_f]Emiko[/name_f] Miyazaki (17). She is [name_f]Mae[/name_f] and [name_u]Coco[/name_u]’s cousin.

She has begun creating her own comic and she plays tennis for her high school. [name_u]Haley[/name_u] and [name_u]Coco[/name_u] loved to write and illustrate stories as a kid, with [name_u]Haley[/name_u] being the artist. She is always upbeat and sharing her positive attitude. Her middle name means smiling child and that perfectly describes [name_u]Haley[/name_u]. [name_u]Haley[/name_u] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] often trade their art and with their different styles [name_u]Haley[/name_u]’s sunrise styled room reflects her artistic flair and beaming energy.
Aubrey ‘[name_u]Berry[/name_u]’ [name_f]Natasha[/name_f] Friedkin (17) is a mutual friend of [name_u]Haley[/name_u] and [name_u]Coco[/name_u], who belongs to [name_f]Freja[/name_f]’s group.

She works at a boba tea shop and also enjoys customizing jackets, which she sells on Depop, although [name_u]Berry[/name_u]’s more than willing to keep one off the market if a friend likes it.
Berry’s the eldest daughter of a single mother and has a little brother who’s quite a few years younger than her. He gets on her nerves sometimes but she loves him nonetheless and the two walk the family dog, a Dalmatian named [name_f]Joy[/name_f], together after school.

Xim also plays the harp in the school orchestra and is a huge fan of symphonic metal, doing some collaborations with local bands to provide orchestral backing. She’s one of five siblings and this has led to Xim developing a strong voice and intensity to her nature, always being willing to speak out and defend her friends - never mind her siblings, even though they all share this brave streak.
Xim doesn’t have her entire future planned out yet but is happy working at a pet shop on weekends or hanging out with her friends. A huge fan of reptiles, Xim owns a corn snake named [name_m]Cornelius[/name_m], and her grandma knitted him a little jumper which she loves photographing him in.

[name_f]Thea[/name_f]’s strong willed and driven, working as a PA for a fashion designer and is so she’s often working - yet her sibling, [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and [name_m]Benji[/name_m] help her relax considerably. Although she didn’t voice this until recently, [name_f]Thea[/name_f] hopes to have children some day with [name_u]Evan[/name_u] and doesn’t want her job to completely overtake her life. [name_m]Born[/name_m] in [name_f]Mae[/name_f] [name_u]Sai[/name_u], [name_f]Thea[/name_f] and her family moved when she was four, although they ensured their children remained close to their culture and she tries to visit her grandparents as much as possible.
