There may be spoilers in here, so proceed with caution, folks. 

Sid 

One of the preppy boys at school. He is a huge Radiohead fan and enjoys watching Star Trek with his friends. He’s snarky and is a bit hotheaded. Musically, he’s very talented, and knows how to play the guitar. He often butts heads with his father. 

Winston

Another one of the preppy boys. He has been Sheng’s best friend since the second grade. He is a devout Catholic and when not in school, he can be seen helping out Father Francis in Copper Junction.  

Juan

One of the preppy boys. He is the leader-- and only person-- on the environmental club at school. He is generally good natured and upbeat, but is so passionate about taking care of the environment that at times, his personality can be a bit intense.  

Josefina, the Hall Monitor 

You can run, but you can’t hide from the hall monitor. Josefina is the daughter of a police officer and one day aspires to be like him. She’s very intense and a stickler for the rules. She wields a yard stick like it’s a sword, and watch out-- if you try to run from her, she will smack you with it. And it will hurt. 

Inez

Inez is very sweet, but a bit high strung. She’s a dedicated athlete, being on the track team and competitive cheerleading team. She’s determined to keep her GPA over a 3.6, because she wants to go to college in the future. Unfortunately, her personal quest for perfection has significantly impacted her self esteem. 

Winnie 

Although she is a cheerleader, she resents the idea of being thought of as “just a pretty face.” Winnie’s ultimate goal is to go to M.I.T. She’s a talented inventor and has come up with a variety of useful products, but unfortunately, she’s not always taken seriously by her male peers. She’s fiercely competitive and confident. 

Tara Lynn

Tara Lynn is of Vietnamese descent, and was named Huong after her maternal grandmother. She generally tries to be nice to everyone, unlike Becky. She comes from a household of musicians, and was taught how to play piano by her mother, and guitar by her father. She loves to sing, and her favorite artist is Dolly Parton (thanks to her dad’s influence.) She adores her family. 

Michelle 

Michelle Robinson is the highly talented and dedicated coach of Nina Simone High’s dance team. She was a dancer throughout her youth and college, and competed in high stakes national and international competitions. She is a mother of two kids, and recently divorced her high school sweetheart. She’s won Teacher of the Year a couple of times.

Monae 

Monae is one of Karenina’s best friends. She moved to Copper Junction from Louisiana a few years back. She enjoys ballet and hip hop, and is interested in finding ways of blending the two. She hopes to one day open up her own dance studio, or become a choreographer for theater companies. 

Clarissa 

She is Lapis’ twin and Karenina’s BESTEST friend. (Karenina hates it when she says that, so she just keeps saying it.) She is of Nicaraguan descent, and immigrated to the United States when she was four years old. Her and Karenina’s parents were actually in citizenship classes together. Clarissa is passionate about dance and is a bit of a perfectionist, but her organization and time management skills are something to aspire to. 

Kelly

Kelly lives with her grandmother and is quite shy, but is friendly when you get to know her. She’s a bit of a pushover and has a hard time saying no. Her closest friend is Uzuri. She’s not particularly passionate about dance, but enjoys being on a team and contributing to something “bigger than herself.”

Uzuri

Uzuri is of Kenyan descent and immigrated to the United States with her parents only a couple of years ago. She is often made fun of for having a thick accent. She is close to Kelly, and enjoys dancing. She enjoys math, and thinks she wants to be an accountant when she grows up, but is still unsure about the idea. She's also does a lot of volunteer work in the community. 

Lapis

She is Clarissa’s twin sister and is of Nicaraguan descent. Lapis is the complete opposite of her sister. She has a bit of a sullen personality and doesn’t get along well with her parents. For the most part, she knows how to keep her cool, but don’t even think about pissing her off. Seriously, don’t. You’ll regret it. 

Brendan

He is a running back for the high school football team. Brendan hopes to one day pursue a professional career in the NFL. He is fairly good looking and enjoys having fun with his friends, but knows when to buckle down and get serious. He is single and ready to mingle. 

Charlie

Charlie is used to being thought of as the class clown, and enjoys making other people laugh. He’s been lacking a lot of laughter in his life as of late. He is a tackle on the football team, and is the cousin of Chris, the quarterback. In his spare time, Charlie enjoys playing games at the arcade.  

Carson

Carson lives with his mom and her deadbeat boyfriend. He tends to spend a lot of time at his friends’ houses. He is a wide receiver on the football team. He loves playing football and in the off season, plays baseball. He loves action movies and Top Gun is his absolute favorite film. He loves listening to Tupac.  

DeAndre

DeAndre is dyslexic and was only recently diagnosed. He is thought of by teachers as “lacking focus,” but this is not the case. While DeAndre struggles with reading, he actually loves literature and writing. His favorite author is Langston Hughes. He is a tight end on the football team. 

Marquis

Marquis is a guard on the football team, and also enjoys break dancing in his spare time. He was taught how to dance by his older brother, who he is extremely close to. Like Charlie, Marquis doesn’t really enjoy school and struggles to think of what he wants to do when he grows up. He thinks he’d most likely want to be a broadcaster for ESPN. 

Chris

Chris is the quarterback, and is Charlie’s cousin. He thinks very highly of himself, and takes pride in his appearance. He follows a very strict diet so as to preserve his physique. Sometimes Chris struggles to have empathy for other people, so Tony has to keep him in check. He was previously in a relationship with Becky but dumped her after she insulted his haircut. Chris doesn’t stand for that shit. 

Diwali

Diwali is Native American and is a member of the Cherokee tribe. He is painfully shy and has a lot of social anxiety. He spends a lot of time looking after his younger cousins and siblings, and aspires to be a good role model for them. Diwali enjoys cooking and woodworking. He is another guard on the football team. 

Margarita

Margarita is Mexican-American and when not at school or kicking it with her friends, she can be found running her family’s food stands. Tamara is her best friend.  She has a mind for business, but is unsure of what she wants to do in the future. While she frequently argues with her parents, she loves her abuela, who encourages her to live her life to the fullest. 

Tamara

In the seventh grade, Tamara set a section of the local elementary school on fire. She was tried for arson and sent to juvenile detention for a year. Part of her rehabilitation program involved fostering dogs, and Tamara has continued this practice. She thinks she wants to be a vet, but also would love to run her own shelter. She is dating Malik. 

Jada

She absolutely adores punk and goth rock music. Jada may seem scary, but out of all the tough girls, she’s actually the most approachable. She loves going out with her friends and getting into reckless adventures with them. Oddly enough, Jada really enjoys learning about history, and knows a lot of facts about the 1920s. 

Malik

Malik used to be pretty nerdy, but after enduring years of bullying, he decided to change his image. So he dyed his hair and took up weight lifting. While he can be intimidating, he is kind to those he is close to. He absolutely adores Tamara, and when not spending time with her, he can be found joking around with Edd and Ale. 

Ale

Ale is of Mexican and Spanish descent. His parents divorced when he was little, and his mom returned to Barcelona to pursue her career in business. Despite his dad having been remarried for a few years, he is still irritated by his step mom’s presence. But he does what he can to help out around the house. Ale wants to be an engineer, and ideally, would love to design cars. He’s only 5”2, and is pretty insecure about his looks. Part of him joining the punks was to appear tougher than he actually is. 

Edd

Like Ale, Edd puts on a front, and isn’t actually as mean as he seems. He’s the tallest kid in the school, standing at a whopping 6 foot 3 inches.  He enjoys is boxing, and he really admires Carmen’s older brother Diego. Edd is fiercely protective of Ale, who has been his best friend since he moved to town in the fifth grade. Unlike most of the kids in Copper Junction, he comes from a wealthy family. However, he doesn’t get along with his parents, and is seen as a disappointment by his father.

Seraphina “Seri” Baum - Protagonist 

• You play as her in the game. You’re an aspiring writer who is coming to terms with her parents’ divorce. You have difficulties making lasting friendships. Could high school change that for you? 

Carmen Valentina Jiménez Rosales - Ally and Love Interest 

• Your best friend and love of your life. She is proud of her Puerto Rican heritage and is the only girl in her family. She’s into karate and is wickedly good with programming and using computers. She wants to be a software programmer one day. 

Candace Wilson - Best Friend 

• One of your best friends. She’s dating Michael and is on the track team. She wants to be a nurse one day, preferably working in the ER. She lives with her mom, and has a strained relationship with her father. She's an incredibly kind person, and dedicated to her studies. 

Brandy Carlile - Best Friend 

• Another one of your best friends. She’s a cheerleader who is a bit hotheaded, and isn’t afraid to speak her mind.  She vocal about her sexual experiences and is unashamed to talk about them. She’s very loyal to her friends. She lives with her aunt. For a long time she had a rivalry with Carmen. Can you help them resolve their differences? 

Michael Burnett - Close Friend

• One of Seri's close friends that she meets in homeroom. He is a nerd who really enjoys watching Twin Peaks, and in general loves discussing sci-fi. He has a tendency to be a bit of a know-it-all, and while he has some self esteem issues, he also tends to think that he's smarter than everyone else around him... which naturally rubs some people the wrong way. He's hopelessly in love with Candace.  

Sheng Lee - Potential Friend 

• He’s in the preppy crowd. He is of Taiwanese and Chinese descent. He likes watching Star Trek with his friends. He’s struggling with coming to terms with his sexuality, and is in a relationship with Elijah. Sheng likes writing poetry, but also has a mind for economics, and thinks he’d like to work in the corporate world when he grows up. 

Elijah Washington - Potential Friend

• He’s one of the nerds. He’s known for being one of the only openly gay kids in school. While this in the past made him the target of harassment, he's proved that he can hold himself in a fight. He’s into fashion and playing D&D with his friends. He’s also super talented and plays multiple instruments. His closest friendship is with Rat Park, who is also in the nerds clique. 

Mr. Will Carver - Teacher and Confidante 

• One of the English teachers at school; he teaches a creative writing class for seniors. He lives in Copper Junction and it’s rumored that he’s in a relationship with another man. He’s known for having a biting sense of humor, but also for being one of the nicest teachers at Nina Simone High. 

Harmond Johnson - Confidante, local activist, and repair shop owner 

• He lives in the neighborhood and works with Carmen’s father. He’s known for being active in the community and charitable. He’s led a lot of initiatives around the neighborhood such as clothing and food drives. When not working at his car repair shop, he can be found spending time with Will, his longtime partner. 

Karenina Abramov - Rival and dance team leader 

• Although she’s only five foot two, Karenina is a force to be reckoned with. She is an aspiring professional dancer and views you as an obstacle to that pathway, because you’re nowhere near her level of talent. 

Rebecca "Becky" Taylor - Rival and cheerleader 

• She very much wants to be the top dog, and will manipulate or bully others into getting her way. She lacks compassion for others and will frequently use racist slurs. She lives in Silver Heights, which is a more affluent neighborhood, but because of how the districts were drawn, she has to attend Nina Simone High. She despises Candace, but hates Brandy even more, since she's a better cheerleader. 

Kenny Rogers - Rival, local punk, and Carmen’s boyfriend 

• He is dating Carmen at the start of the game. He was held back a year and that’s a bit of a sore spot for him. Kenny is known for causing trouble and starting fights. He’s a dangerous individual. 

Lynn Baum 

• Seri’s mother, who recently got divorced. After spending so many years as a stay at home mom, she is struggling to adjust to the working world and life in her hometown. 

Mr. Leonidas "Leo" Gomez Rosales 

• Carmen’s father. He works at the shop with Harmond. He is a widower, and doesn’t want to remarry. He enjoys gardening, cooking, and playing poker in his spare time. His kids are his whole world. 

Manolo Jiménez Rosales 

• Carmen’s oldest brother. He is dating Amaya, a woman who works for the local youth shelter. He is working as an insurance agent and is very dedicated to taking care of his family, but he is frustrated with the lack of privacy in his household. He may soon be looking to move out.

Diego Jiménez Rosales 

• One of Carmen’s older brothers. He is a local champion boxer and a full-time part-timer. He was the one who encouraged Carmen to get into fighting after she saw the karate kid. He uses her as a sparring partner. He’s completely the opposite of Manolo in that he likes to avoid his responsibilities and is very much a free spirit. 

Javier “Javi” Jiménez Rosales 

• Carmen’s youngest brother who is still in elementary school. He has no memories of his mother as she passed when he was a baby. He loves cats and playing video games. He can be seen playing with Finn, one of the neighborhood kids, from time to time. 

Tony Martinez 

• Although he's not the quarterback, he's the leader of the football team. He is nicknamed "Stressed Out Tony" because he's always anxious about something, and it's usually in relation to his friends. If you help him, he'll be a really good friend to Seri. But does he hope to be something more than that? 

Kiriko Watanabe 

• Track star with a loud mouth and absolutely no filter. She hangs out with the tough girls. She is very open about her attraction to women, and other than Elijah, is the only other openly gay kid. After she came out to her parents, they sent her to live with her grandma, who runs the karate dojo that Carmen practices at. Although she can be a bit abrasive, she's actually really sweet.... and is particularly sweet on Seri. 

Wendy Brooks 

• Like Elijah, she enjoys fashion, and runs a small business out of her parents' basement making and selling her own clothes. She's bubbly and upbeat, and lives to find the beauty in everyone. You can purchase armor from her in the game. 

Topher Massey 

• He sells weed, and hates Ronald Reagan with a passion. He often talks about the health benefits and many practical uses of pot. While he is good-natured, he can be very snarky. He is forever running away from Josefina, the school's #1 hall monitor. 

Mr.  Zachariah Jordan 

• A decorated Vietnam War Veteran who runs the local convenience store and pawn shop, which contains many useful wares. He's a close friend of Harmond's and Mr. Katz. He is a proud father of two young daughters. He is the only character that you can sell things to.
