Character Descriptions

• William Cain “Will”
• Lead, Male (late 30’s-early 40’s)
• Calculating, obsessive, and eerily patient. William is a master at rationalizing his actions, convincing himself that his intrusions are justified. He’s charming when needed but his charisma masks a deep-seeded need for control. Socially withdrawn, he prefers to observe from a distance to direct interaction.
• Madeline Foster “Maddy”
• Lead, Female (early-mid 30’s)
• Maddy has a softness that makes people underestimate her—warm eyes, an easy smile, and emotionally intuitive. Maddy has the uncanny ability to make others feel seen without judgment. Trusting and curious yet practical and quick thinking, Maddy is a force you never saw coming.
• “Michael”
• Lead, Male (mid-late 30’s)
• Loving, thoughtful, romantic, ideal partner.
