CAILEIGH- Early twenties, any race/ethnicity. Nonbinary. (they/them) Moved to New York for college, but more likely to get away from home. Lost, in every sense. They've perfected performing "femininity" and are trying to work out what parts of themselves are real.

FARUK- Early to mid twenties, Iranian. (he/him) Caileigh's boyfriend of three years. Loyal to a fault, with an idiotic but endearing sense of humor. He loves Caileigh deeply and has imagined a life and a future with them, a dream he is willing to fight for.

MAUREEN- Mid to late forties, any race/ethnicity. (she/her) Caileigh's aunt. Caileigh has been living with her since moving to the city four years ago. She's a feminist, or was by the standards of 20 years ago. She’s shrunken herself to fit inside her marriage. Wants to support Caileigh, but doesn’t quite understand “the whole non-binary thing”.

MAXIME- Early twenties, any race/ethnicity. (he/him) Caileigh's best friend. Has spent a lot of his life hiding. He's crafted a "gay best friend” persona that he thinks will protect him from the deep hurt and anger he feels surrounding his own queerness. Fiercely blames the other two for Caileigh’s disappearance in an attempt to ignore his own guilt about what happened.
