2 roles
Margo is hiding. Outwardly driven and self assured, but constantly at odds with herself. Her inner monologue is a court of doubt, every action and moment in her life under strict moral scrutiny. However, at her core she is an empathetic and kind soul, who wishes to do good by others, even at her own expense. Margo has found love for the first time, a huge and exciting and terrifying prospect, one that puts her face to face with emotions she thought she would never feel.
Em is in love. While Margo is deeply embroiled in the ideas of "right" and "wrong" in love, Em is able to see Margo as she is, removed from social and moral boundaries. Their weakness, however, is in their communication. Headstrong and extroverted, Em struggles to suppress the ways they express love, in an effort to give Margo room to grow and find herself. Em feels frustrated, unable to unleash the constantly erupting volcano that is their love for Margo.
