Meli is a passionate and ambitous musician. She loves music, but it doesn’t always love her back. She is insecure, jealous, she’s constantly second guessing her worth and abilites. She is stubborn, which makes her vulnerable to shortcuts. Meli is emotonally volatle, she fluctuates between hope, resentment, and longing. She’s loyal, even with jealousy she still cares about her best friend.
Hayley is charismatic, she naturally draws people in without trying. She’s humble, not arrogant and not showy at all, which makes it harder for Meli to resent her. She’s oblivious, but not out of cruelty, she’s just busy with her own rise. She’s very talented, the type of talent you’re born with. She stands out immediately with her voice.
The Mystery Man is calm and deliberate, he speaks quietly but with weight, never rushed. He’s ambiguous doesn’t seem evil but something feels off. He’s predatory, but polite. He offers a gift, not a threat. But he knows exactly the cost. He’s detached, no real emotion, just the satisfaction of making another “deal”.
