– Amber Rhinewood (22-25): A young playwright, open and vulnerable, seeks deeper emotional connections from the people around her.
– Nathalie Lifter (22-25): An actress, more experienced than Amber and seemingly put together. Her aloofness and diva personality hide underlying vulnerability.
– Walker Berlin (22-30): An actor, shy and somewhat of a pushover. He is introspective and thinks deeply about people and relationships around him.
– Kyle Thompson (22-25): An investment banker, boyfriend of Amber. He has a large ego and is very practical. He is aloof and pushes away feelings of vulnerability.

– Janet: (30s) a Forrest Gump (or Lennie from Of Mice and Men) character. She has an arrested development caused by a birth defect that gives her the mental age of a 10 year old. She is emotional and animated. She most definitely still believes in Santa Claus.
– Julie: (20s) Janet’s childhood protector but moved on and went to college, receiving a PhD in Biotech. She is rational and focused though brought out of her shell a bit around Janet.
