5 roles
(Female or non-binary) A woman who loves her God and her husband. Righteous, devoted, walks the straight and narrow. Terrified of making a mistake. Carries more guilt than sin.
(Female or non-binary) A woman who inherited her late husband’s debts but not her father’s wealth. Society has handed her every short stick in the bundle. She’s noticed.
(Female or non-binary) A woman whose reputation proceeds her as men in her life wish she’d committed more sins than she did. She is used to being discussed just because she wore that ONE RED PETTICOAT that ONE TIME… Been accused of being a witch before… it’s a vibe she’s got.
(Female or non-binary) A woman who was broken long ago. A woman who wants to rest. A woman who deserves to be left alone. A woman who doesn’t say nearly as much as she feels.
A minister. Physically strong, emotionally…not so much. Opinionated. Confident. Obstinate. Wants to do good, but way too slow in his growth and who’s got time for that? No one in that prison cell.
