Carina
mid/late 20s. She’s street smart because she’s met a lot of various clients. She’s picked up patterns and methods along the way. She’s mastered control over her sex appeal from working as a prostitute over many years. Yet, despite all this, she still can’t rub off her small-town vibe and demeanor. This surfaces mainly when she’s not at work and around friends she can be comfortable with.
Komander
mid/late 40s or early 50s. She’s jaded and stressed. Maybe somewhat defeated in life. Because of this, she exhibits a no bullshit attitude and angry vibe. Physically, she’s let herself go, so she’s not quite in shape, but you can still tell that she was very attractive in her prime. She’s still beautiful, regardless.
Haley
pre-teen. She’s precocious. She talks like an adult, but only in tone. She’s still a child inside, naive and all. She’s developed a shielded and rough facade from her life on the streets.
Ikea
mid 20s. She’s sexy and beautiful. She knows it and likes flaunting it. She likes the attention and enjoys the sex work genuinely. She thinks it’s legitimate work and suitable for her.
AZENCIA
early 60s. She’s lived a crazy life, so she enjoys quiet mainly. She has a shady past but has made peace with it.
JODI
early/mid 20s. She’s an entertainment/lifestyle writer for a local newspaper. She’s a good writer who used to be idealistic about what journalism can do. But she “sold out” so she can pay the bills.
Jane
early/mid 20s. She’s a freelance photographer. She takes on any kind of gig as long as it pays the bills, much like Jodi. But the difference is that she still has the fire inside and still idealistic. She still has the urge to be a photo journalist.
Policeman
early 40s. He’s corrupt at work because of the system. He’s also given into temptations. But deep down he’s also a family man. He loves his wife and kids. But that part of him is buried deep down that it’s hard to see.
Barber
mid 30s. He’s Komander’s lover and partner. He met Komander initially as a paying client. He fell in love with Komander and has submitted to her schemes. He’s loyal to her and also scared of her.
