DAPHNE - Early 30's. Female-identifying. Black. Formerly lived in the city, but now living somewhere in the middle of nowhere with Winona, her partner. Doesn't know much about her new surroundings, reliant on Winona for information, but she isn't sure what's true and what's not. Deeply curious to the
point of recklessness, she uses her sense of humor and denial to shield herself from danger. Vulnerable and porous to her surroundings, she is undergoing a transformation that she doesn't understand.
WINONA - Early to mid 30's. Female-identifying. White. Recently brought Daphne to live with her in the middle of nowhere. She's deeply invested in everything she does, which reveals itself through her need to control. Has answers for all of Daphne's questions, but are they true? Her natural eccentricity teeters between charming and off-putting. Driven by the fear that everything she knows to be true will collapse.
WENDY - Early to mid-30s. Female-identifying. Any ethnicity. Protective friend of Daphne’s from the city. Charming, straightforward, and highly perceptive. You can tell her all of your secrets, and she’ll keep them safe. The most fun and compelling person you know.
PIPER - Early to mid-30s. Female-identifying. Any ethnicity. Her world is small but she knows it well. Worries hard for the people she loves. Doesn’t hold a grudge. Proud to be a new Mom. Sharply observant, she could walk you through your own house over the phone to find where you put down your nail clippers the other week, but she also snoops in business that isn’t hers.
STRANGER - 50's-70's. Female-identifying or Non-Binary. BIPOC. Her/Their house is visible from Winona and Daphne's. Most comfortable in her/their solitude but immediately makes you feel safe when you’re in her/their presence. Resilient. At ease in the wilderness. Lives off the land.
