Character Breakdown:

TEEN GIRL: Female, 14–16 y/o, Caribbean/Mixed. Soft-spoken, gifted, and burdened by expectations. She struggles with anxiety, imposter syndrome, and fear of failure. Ability to play steelpan will be an asset, but is not required.

TEEN BOY: Male, 14–16 y/o, Caribbean. Rebellious, smart, and passionate—He masks pain with bravado. Lives in an underserved community. He challenges the MC but ultimately becomes her ally. Musical skill is a bonus (steelpan or any percussive instrument)

FATHER: Male, 40s–50s, Caribbean. MC’s father. Now quiet and soulful. Strong presence with few words. His emotional impact must resonate even in stillness and later in recovery scenes.

MOTHER: Female, 40s–50s, Caribbean. A dedicated nurse and resilient wife. Loving but stern, She is the glue that holds the family together. She expects excellence but struggles to communicate vulnerability.
