Claire
(already cast)
Claire, Minny’s best friend and Shane’s husband, is sharp as a tack, but tends to have on horse-blinders if she’s not getting what she needs. She has no time for anybody’s b.s. or nonsense. She seeks reason and logical answers above all else, but if continually challenged and when convinced to look past the realm of what’s satisfactory, she can find herself exploring new territory.
Claire is convinced that Max had something to do with Minny’s disappearance. She works to ground Shane in that reality, and desperately misses her friend.
Shane
(already cast)
Shane, Max’s best friend and Claire’s husband, is intelligent and curious. He tends to give people more than a few second chances. He does his best to support them in their efforts and will frequently drop what he needs to help others.
Shane has been there with Max through thick and thin, a polar opposite to Claire’s energy in this regard. He is a bit of a pushover when it comes to Claire.
Leila
(already cast)
Leila, Olivia’s wife, is a Doctor with an interest in sleep patterns and caring for animals first, humans second. She is scatter-brained, cluttered, a bit of a hoarder, and curious about the nature of our existence. The love and care she has for her wife is unmatched against all other of life’s trifles. Beyond that, she is directed, and always focused on accomplishing the single task in front of her.
Leila’s wife is taken by the shadowy force and, as a scientist, Leila tries to work out how to reverse what happened to her.
