7 roles

ClaraFemale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

An introverted, tech-savvy teen who loves video games and coding. Though quiet and often teased for her nerdiness, she’s intelligent, creative, and brave. She ultimately becomes the hero who fixes the game’s glitch and saves the digital world.

NutcrackerMale14-18 y.o.All ethnicities

A loyal and courageous video game hero: half warrior, half pixelated legend. Beneath his confident, action-hero persona lies genuine compassion and faith in Clara’s abilities. Think Fortnite meets Tron: flashy, brave, and slightly overdramatic, but with a good heart.

Rat QueenFemale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

The cunning, glitch-exploiting villain of the video game world: powerful, mocking, and manipulative. She thrives on chaos and control. Played by Sammie, the Rat Queen embodies Clara’s real-world bully in digital form, forcing Clara to confront her own self-doubt and reclaim her confidence.

FitzMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Clara’s older brother: protective, but caught between loyalty to his girlfriend and care for his sister. Though initially dismissive, he becomes Clara’s quiet supporter, recognizing her talent and worth. His warmth contrasts Sammie’s superficiality.

SammieMale17-18 y.o.All ethnicities

Fitz’s girlfriend and Clara’s nemesis: popular, sharp-tongued, and insecure beneath her confidence. As the Rat Queen’s real-world counterpart, Sammie’s cruelty challenges Clara to stand up for herself. Her transformation (or lack thereof) mirrors the story’s moral: that empathy beats ego.
