South-East Asian Description: Emotionally intelligent, empathetic, and incredibly loyal to a fault. Grew up being the mediator between her stubborn Grandma and combative mother. Because of that, she feels a strong sense of obligation to preserve her Grandma’s memories after her passing, despite not being her own person outside of her family.
Description: A well-dressed yet modest woman, shaped by the values and silences of the 1960s. A product of her time, she carries many secrets — ones that have strained her relationship with her daughter and granddaughter. Though she speaks little, her presence commands attention alongside her decades-long grief and resilience beneath the calm.
Description: A butch lesbian from the 1960s, presenting himself to the world with masculine pronouns. Thoughtful and steady, he carries himself with quiet confidence and a deep sense of purpose. Protective by nature, he looks out for the people he loves but never tries to control them; he believes in giving others the freedom to choose their own paths.
Description: A charming businessman whose allure runs deeper than his good looks. A smooth-taker and confident, he knows exactly how to read people and say what they want to hear. Beneath the polished surface, though, lies something darker — a calculating, two-faced predator who hides his psychopathy behind charm and charisma.
