3 roles
Supporting. Nikki often uses her sarcasm and attitude to hide her soft side. She is inspired by the pop punk girls of the time, Hayley Williams and Avril Lavigne. She has true “don’t mess with me” vibes. Nikki is the type to roll her eyes at everyone, but is still a true team player. She is a talented drummer and a straight-A student; she’s got the brains to match her edge. Though she acts like she can’t stand most people, she still values the few connections she has.
Supporting. Beth’s soft and gentle presence helps her easily move between social circles. She loves both planning school events and spending quiet evenings painting or scrapbooking. She is a natural caretaker; her kindness, empathy, and belief in the good of people make her beloved by those around her. But also, this leaves her vulnerable, as seen in her complicated relationship with Blake.
Supporting. Blake is a hot tempered, jealous guy. He has a habit of taking his anger out on people and objects alike. He channels his intensity into football, basketball, and breaking things. Coming from a split household and annoyed by his younger twin brothers, he often bullies them. Rough, reactive, and insecure, Blake isn’t the easiest person to be around, and he doesn’t care.
