4 roles
A Theta alum and the savvy leader of this clique. An heiress. Her dad has made his fortune on neutralizing contagious carriers of The Morbs—a controversial task in the court of public opinion—and she’s been in her dad’s pocket since her mom’s death. Thick-skinned from constantly being in the limelight, but lonely, at the same time. Nostalgic for a simpler past.
A Theta alum who used to be a party girl. Her difficult experience dealing with her mom’s infection with The Morbs has isolated her from her previous life, and has especially alienated her from her former best friend, Tatum. Cautious; keeps her cards to her chest. A survivor, but she hasn’t totally forgotten how to have fun.
A Theta alum; she’s most comfortable as a follower to Tatum. Married to Eddie, mother of two-year-old Poppy, and MBA graduate. Her sense of humor guards a tightly wound interior; her anxieties are buried deep.
Tatum’s aunt, though the two haven’t been close since the death of Harriet’s sister, Tatum’s mom. She lost her husband painfully to The Morbs, and she herself is a “Hollow” (no longer contagious) carrier of the disease: she’s still totally human, but lives a little bit in her own world. A caretaker. A tough cookie.
