Seeking: (all characters are any ethnicity)

[Oliver]: Genevieve’s little brother. A bit mischievous, but fun-loving, enjoys challenging Genevieve.
[Mother]: Genevieve and Oliver’s mom. Supportive of her children’s creativity and independence. She is a cool mom. Verging on free-spirited hippie, but not quite a free-range parent.
[Father]: Genevieve and Oliver’s dad. An equal caretaker and disciplinarian as Mother. He is not afraid of looking silly, Especially if it’s for the benefit of his children.
[Francesca]: Genevieve’s best friend. Francesca is competitive, at times bossy. Like Genevieve, she enjoys leading and enjoys being the center of attention.
[Elliot]: Genevieve’s other best friend. Elliot is shy, and sometimes gets steam-rolled by Genevieve and Francesca’s big personalities. Elliot also had big dreams, but is stifled in expressing them.
[Teacher] (doubled with Father): Genevieve’s first grade teacher. An advocate for creativity and play. Nerdy, but not in an academic way, in a D&D way.
