2 roles
The protagonist Jude is quiet and the type that sits at the back of class. They dress in a neutral approachable way, typically in earthy tones and baggy clothes. When they speak it makes everyone happy, they would be a people person if they spoke up more often. They want to create art, not the kind that sells, but the kind that means something to the people who understand it. Their biggest flaw is their lack of determination.
The Stranger is a 50 year old stoic and wise character. He is dressed like he's attending either a funeral or wedding, lots of black, some white, and very formal. They have a powerful presence that is hard to decipher as unsettling or comforting because of the shifts they make between criticism and encouragement.
