"Albert"
"Albert" | |
---|---|
Gender | Male |
Species | Cat |
Debut | Method Acting, page 5 September 6, 2024 |
In Jessica’s play. The younger brother of Morris, Albert was simply at the wrong place at the wrong time. To punish Morris for not wanting to evict his house, Teagan orders Jayden to break Albert’s leg, rendering him unable to play baseball. Obviously meant to represent Rachel’s younger brother, Aaron, and what happened to him at the hands of Roger.
"Jayden"
"Jayden" | |
---|---|
Gender | Male |
Species | Dog |
Breed | Dalmatian |
Debut | Method Acting, page 4 September 4, 2024 |
In Jessica’s play. A jersey-wearing henchman at Teagan's beck and call, he'll do whatever it takes to make her happy - including breaking Albert's leg and sending salacious text messages to ruin Juniper's reputation. He is an unflattering caricature of Jordan and his blind devotion to Tiff.
"Juniper Lumin"
"Juniper Lumin" | |
---|---|
Gender | Female |
Species | Dog |
Debut | Method Acting, page 1 August 28, 2024 |
The lead role of Jessica's play. Juniper is a junior attorney and investigative reporter whose main goal is to uncover the corruption that lurks in the philanthropic Thatchit family, particularly of its poster girl, Teagan Thatchit. When Teagan gets the whole town to think Juniper is a sleaze with the snap of a finger, Juniper thinks her career is over, until Misty Beacon comes along. She is based off of Jessica, consciously or otherwise, and her arc is a parallel of Tess spreading false rumors around Roseville High of Jessica's promiscuity.
"Misty Beacon"
"Misty Beacon" | |
---|---|
Gender | Female |
Species | Dog |
Debut | Method Acting, page 12 September 23, 2024 |
The love interest of Jessica's play. Misty Beacon is a bespectacled rookie reporter who has been investigating the Thachit family in a much quieter way than Juniper. Inspired by Juniper, Misty comes to her role model's aide at her lowest moment to help overturn the Thatchits - and perhaps find love along the way. She is meant to be a "flawless" interpretation of Jessica's girlfriend, Madison... a connection Madison herself did not make.
"Morris"
"Morris" | |
---|---|
Gender | Male |
Species | Cat |
Debut | Method Acting, page 4 September 4, 2024 |
In Jessica's play. A weak-willed man who turns the other cheek no matter what, Morris tries to defend himself from being evicted by Teagan, only to fold immediately when Teagan's henchman, Jayden, breaks his brother, Albert's, leg. Morris always blames himself for everything, including happening to be poor. Meant to be an offensive take on Matt's tendency to be a "doormat."
"Rina"
"Rina" | |
---|---|
Gender | Female |
Species | Cat |
Debut | Method Acting, page 2 August 30, 2024 |
In Jessica's play. The best friend of Juniper Lumin, Rina loves boys, and won't let Juniper (nor the audience) forget for even a moment. She likes to live frivolously and sees Juniper's job as a means for hot gossip, and believes all problems can be solved by showing some leg; when Juniper's reputation is ruined, Rina simply suggests to sleep with the police department. She is a cruel take on Rachel, and her having a "body count."
"Teagan Thatchit"
"Teagan Thatchit" (Marcie) | |
---|---|
Gender | Female |
Species | Cat |
Debut | Method Acting, page 2 August 30, 2024 |
The antagonist of Jessica’s play. The daughter of the prestigious Thachits, a charitable family who frequently donates to good causes, only to get said money from evicting regular citizens and buying the silence of authority. When Juniper tries to catch her red-handed, Teagan gets her lackey to ruin her reputation. She is a hyperbolic representation of Tess from her bullying days, and as admitted by Jessica herself, is a bit of Tiff due to her hairstyle. The actress's real name is Marcie.
