9 roles
Abeni didn't ask for the spotlight-but it found her. After a fiery, heartfelt speech goes viral, she is now in a newfounded spotlight she never expected. Abeni is thoughtful, deeply empathetic, and fearless when it matters most. Her voice carries not because it's loud, but because it's true. She's the kind of person who listens before she speaks-and when she speaks, people listen. Sometimes reaching the wrong audience.
Luc is Abeni's best friend-her confidant, cheerleader, and one half of her anchor. He craves the spotlight and often gravitates toward the drama of his own life. When Abeni gains recognition, Luc, ever the opportunist, basks in the newfound attention. His emotional highs and lows are always broadcasted, making his personal life a public spectacle.
Acting as Veronica’s right-hand girl, Gwen’s lack of independence makes her an excellent assistant... I mean friend. (*Must be able to swim)
Touched by her words, Isaiah has become fond of Abeni… maybe a bit more than what his girlfriend, Imogen, would appreciate.
Touched by Abeni’s words, Josh will do anything to defend her, sometimes going a bit too far.
Not much to say, he’s just Abeni’s biggest hater.
If you ignore Greg’s creepy stares, he’s actually a good TA. (*Must be able to swim)
Obsessed with true crime and attention, Veronica has built a brand on detailing the juicy details of others misfortunes.
Vindictive by nature and HBIC, Imogen will put up with anything to keep her relationship with Isaiah.
