Emma Duvall (Fitzgerald): a 16-year old beauty "who's a little too intellectual to be a social butterfly" but is firmly established as part of the popular crowd. She has drifted away from her best friend Audrey but she has a close relationship with her mother.
Aubrey Jensen (Taylor-Klaus): Emma's former bestfriend. She is the bi-curious daughter of a Lutheran pastor and dreams of being a filmmaker.
Noah Foster (Karna): Aubrey's closest confidante, he is described as being very creative, brilliant, and tech-savvy enough to be the next Steve Jobs. He also has "an encyclopedic knowledge of books, films, TV, apps, etc."
Maggie Duvall (Middendorf): the town examiner and Emma's mother. She spends a lot of time trying to make up for the fact that Emma's father abandoned them. She's also said to be harboring a dark secret from her past.
