2 roles

KayleenBoth genders8-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Keeps her guard up. Growing up in a tumultuous household with an abusive father and several broken relationships, she ages learning to swallow her smile. Kayleen has a chronic stomach condition that causes her to throw up blood– Something her mother said was anxiety-related. But whether it's illness or anxiety, Kayleen keeps her external self hardened as a shield against a harsh world.

DougMale8-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Would break every bone in his body once just to know how it feels. He’s an extrovert, a daredevil, and a foolish boy trying to make it all make sense. Doug has ADHD, and it shows. He’s a little late with social cues. But his heart is desperate to connect to someone else who can match his curiosity for life. The world may not understand him but he desperately, and dangerously, is trying to understand the world.
