ROSEMARY is dreamy and contemplative, an eternal optimist. ROSEMARY loves this group of people more than anything else.
LINK is a community college student who thinks he knows everything about the world and doesn’t like much of it. His best friend is ART and he’s in love with ROSEMARY. He always had been.
ART is a year or two older than the rest of the group. He's also physically bigger than everyone. The group thinks he's cooler than he is. Every time we see him, he's drunk, high, or has a cigarette between his fingers.
RILEY is dating GILDA, and is the more talkative of the two. Of the group, she is the most like ART, which is why they joke around the most.
GILDA is dating RILEY, and is the more reserved of the two. While everyone else drinks hard liquor and smokes, GILDA sips wine from the bottle.
