LMNOP: Character Breakdown
10 Principals; 4 Ensemble
PRINCIPALS:
• ELLA MINNOW PEA:
An intelligent, resilient, inquisitive, and passionate eighteen
year old female who was born and raised in Nollop. She is slightly socially
awkward and strives to fight for what she believes in.
• GWENETTE MINNOW PEA:
Ella’s strong and loving mother who is in her early
forties. She is loyal, sweet, and cares deeply about setting a good example for
Ella. She fights for what she believes in and constantly supports her husband,
Otto, despite his flaws.
• OTTO MINNOW PEA:
A recovering alcoholic who is also a devoted father and
husband. Although he struggles to control his former addiction, he is kind,
gentle, and cares deeply for his family and his home.
• AGNES PRATHER:
Agnes is the mother of Eugenia Prather who proves to be a
loyal friend and mother. She is cautious, nervous, and devotedly attempts to
follow the new laws of Nollop.
• EUGENIA PRATHER:
The 11-year-old daughter of Agnes Prather. Eugenia is
precocious, wise and extremely capable for her age. She joins Ella in the
resistance against the High Island Council and is enthusiastic to help in any
way she can.
• NATE WARREN:
An American college student with a charming Southern
accent who appears in Nollop in their time of need. Nate is a scientist who
studied Nollop, travels there to learn more and, in turn, meets and falls in
love with Ella. He is attractive, a bit nerdy and, like Ella, will fight for what he
believes.
• GEORGEANNE TOWGATE:
Georgeanne is the single mother of Timmy Towgate.
As a result of her husband’s abandonment, she is over-protective of Timmy
and will do anything to shelter him. She appears to be meek and quiet but is
actually a fierce and passionate fighter.
• TIMMY TOWGATE:

reputation for being bratty, a bully, and a tattletale. Timmy is dutiful and
follows his mother’s example.
