Roles
ELLE 16-years-old. Female. P.O.C. Dark hair. Dark eyes. A teenage loner labeled a pariah by her peers, even though she’s skipped a grade. School bores her, so she keeps her head down and her clothes dark to avoid attention. She spends a lot of her time around corners or under stairwells, nursing a carton of eggnog. She can’t get enough of the holiday drink. It’s a side-effect that thankfully keeps the monster within her at bay, but only if she maintains a steady regimen.
AARON 18-years-old. Male. Black. Athletic build with a full head of teasable hair. The High School golden boy. When he’s not on the football field, he’s stocking shelves at his parent’s corner store. He’s mostly looking for a fun time with a good crowd, which is usually provided by his on-again-off-again girlfriend SENECA. He’ll do anything to keep her by his side.
SENECA 18-years-old. Female. White. Light hair. Light eyes. Queen of the Senior class. Flanked by her small posse, Frankie and Rue, she preens through crowds arm-in-arm with her boy-toy Aaron. She gets what she wants, no matter what she needs to do to acquire it, as long as it puts her in a better light than her peers. Validation is her drug of choice, but a recreational dose of molly also helps.
