"DAMN YANKEES" [Feminine Presenting] Savagely beautiful, Lola is seduction in human form. But beneath her fantastic allure, she’s a wounded creature at heart... years ago, she sold her soul for youth, beauty, and the gift of dance. Now over three hundred years old, she’s ready to trade in her feather boa for true love. Principal.

JOE BOYDBoth genders50-59 y.o.African-American

"DAMN YANKEES" [Masculine Presenting] Joe’s solidly middle class, with an abiding love of baseball, rivaled only by his love for his wife Meg.

"DAMN YANKEES" [(Aka, the new JOE BOYD), Masculine Presenting] He’s got the same fundamental decency, sense of fair play, and marital devotion as his older self... but in an altogether different chassis.
