Character portraits take 2! Mariana (@decopink) also drew the gang (+ the minor character teen squad).
We don't have official character portraits, we are just lucky enough to have artistic people in the cast. One of the fun things about audio mediums is getting to imagine characters however you want. My biggest hope is that we get people listening that imagine it in their own way and draw it too. :)
