KATE ROLLING (Female, late 20s-early 30s). Any ethnicity. Businesswoman and owner of Rolling & Co Milliners & Costumiers. She is whip-smart, charming, ambitious, and focused on building and maintaining the business she created. She is expected by most to marry soon, but she values her freedom and is wary of any situation, especially marriage, that may threaten the freedom she has fought for and achieved. She has put aside any idea of romantic love and thrives as a successful businesswoman. If she does marry, the terms of her marriage contract would be satisfactory to her business ambitions. She values tact, self-control, and practicality above all else.
MISS BLAGG (Female, mid 30s- mid 40s). Any ethnicity. The dressmaker in Kate and Maisie’s shop. She is bright, talented, and outspoken. She is past her youth, and her prospects of marriage have dwindled. She now believes a woman should marry for love and not just for financial security.
MISS GLADYS TRACEY (Female, late teens to early 20s). Any ethnicity. Kate’s youthful shop assistant. Unlike Kate, she is bursting with the possibility of life and love and has several young suitors.

GEORGE PILLATT (Male, mid-30s- early 40s). Any ethnicity. Of Pillatts Ladies’ Tailor. He is focused, driven, and highly rational.

He offers Kate a fair and mutually beneficial partnership in business and marriage, but romantic love is not a part of the equation.
LAWRENCE FAWCETT (Male, early-mid 30s). Any ethnicity. He has given up his father's successful business to do something in his life that brings him happiness, beauty, adventure, and meaning. He can no longer be a part of a business that values pretense and artifice. He's on a quest for authentic experiences and meaningful connections with others. He knows there are things more important than making money and hopes Kate will see she doesn't have to give up herself to have both her dreams and true love. He hopes to have a true partnership in all ways.
