---|---|---|---|---|
Morgan | Female | Caucasian | 9-11 | The middle child. Precocious, insecure, lives in a dream world. Her parent’s conceived her to be a stem cell donor for her dying sister, but her sister died before Morgan was born. The fact that she couldn’t save her sister has haunted Morgan her whole life. To process her guilt, she imagines her sister back as an imaginary friend only she can see, but this doesn’t come without consequences. |
Lorraine | Female | Any | 40-50 | The Mother. A true romantic at heart, soft, flowy, sensual, and fiercely independent. The ultimate multi-tasker, Lorraine is a single mother to 3 girls. After the death of her daughter, Jennifer, years ago, her marriage fell apart and she vowed never to be with another man (the only man she loves is the family dog, Thor). She has made the house a haven for her daughters, nurturing their self-esteem and instilling them with a love for the arts. The sole breadwinner for the family, Lorraine works a job that requires her to be the opposite of her true nature, but she makes the sacrifice for her girls. |
