Perceived as pretentious and self-important by others. Masks his insecurities by holding tight to his power.
CHARACTER 2: Black. Female-identifying (inclusive). Mid 20s - mid 40s. Femme. Smart, opinionated and unafraid to speak her mind, she has a big presence. Savvy, calls it like she sees it, tough exterior, but then we see a crack in her armor...vulnerability, need and love.
CHARACTER 3: ROLE IS CAST. Black. Female-identifying (inclusive). 60 - 70s. Spirited. Though often in the background, when she speaks, she is clear and caring. A grounding figure for the other characters. Profundity of presence.

CHARACTER 5: ROLE IS CAST. Black. Any/all genders. 20s. Fresh. Juvenile. Youthfully ambitious. Has an openness toward the world that comes from their inexperience with its rules and systems. Willingly shape shifts to people-please. Afraid of their own authenticity.
CHARACTER 6: Black. Any/all genders. 20s. Eager. Wary. Quietly curious. A survivor. Their journey has been difficult, but despite previous hardships they find wonder and awe in the place where they've arrived. A child who never got to play and is ready. Distrustful of strangers but hopeful to connect. Secretly skilled in the art of escape. Deep emotional well.
