An awkward and insecure girl who finds reprieve from her life’s stresses by escaping into elaborate fantasies of her own creation, where she is the quintessential inamorata – i.e. she gets to fall in love and be loved. She has a lot of mommy issues that prevent her from ever fully being present and vulnerable around others.
Is a well-meaning guy who considers himself funny – he is easily hurt but hides this under a jock-like façade. Fantasy Farmhand Jareth is the internal manifestation of his jock-like persona. The Farmhand is a figment of Stella’s imagination, at first an idealization of the perfect “man,” but later becomes a villain, a reflection of Stella’s own insecurities.
A cynic who has experienced life and come out worse for it. Instead of trying to improve himself, he has settled into his own hatred and self-pity and does not even pretend to care what effect he has on those around him. Day player.
