Evie Boyd
Lead
Evie is an 18-year-old woman with a thoughtful, searching expression. She has shoulder-length, straight brown hair and pale skin, often sun-freckled from California summers. Her wardrobe is understated: faded dresses, loose cardigans, and battered sandals, reflecting her middle-class background and the era’s style. Her posture is slightly hunched, as if bracing against the world.
Observant, sensitive, yearning for connection, and quietly conflicted. Drawn to Suzanne, fascinated by Russell, distanced from her family, and shaped by her friendship with Connie.
Suzanne
Ally
Suzanne is an 18+ woman with striking, dark, wavy hair that falls past her shoulders. Her eyes are intense and magnetic, her face angular and expressive. She favors layered, bohemian clothing: long skirts, patterned blouses, and chunky jewelry. Her silhouette is bold, with a confident, almost predatory bearing.
Charismatic, enigmatic, fiercely loyal to the cult, yet capable of tenderness. Central to Evie’s fascination; Russell’s trusted confidante; admired and envied by the other girls.
Connie
Heart
Connie is an 18+ woman with a warm, round face and curly blond hair cropped just above her shoulders. She dresses in simple, slightly childish clothes: cotton tops, denim shorts, and worn sneakers. Her posture is open, and her smile is easy, but her eyes often betray worry or longing.
Gentle, hopeful, and vulnerable; she represents what Evie risks losing. Evie’s childhood friend; a reminder of innocence and normalcy.
Russell
Rival
Russell is an 18+ man with long, unkempt brown hair and a scruffy beard. His eyes are sharp, almost hypnotic, and he carries himself with a languid, predatory grace. He wears loose, earth-toned shirts, patched jeans, and always seems slightly disheveled. His presence is magnetic but unsettling.
Manipulative, charismatic, and dangerous—he exerts control through charm and menace. Cult leader; commands loyalty from Suzanne and the girls; a source of fascination and fear for Evie.
Roana
Witness
Roana is an 18+ woman with straight black hair cut in a blunt fringe, olive skin, and sharp features. She dresses in practical, slightly masculine clothes: button-down shirts, corduroy pants, and boots. She often carries a battered notebook. Her gaze is observant, and she moves with quiet purpose.
Reserved, perceptive, and quietly skeptical; she sees more than she says. A background observer in the cult; sometimes confides in Evie, often stands apart.
