Meet the ultimate friend group of Hawthorne High, Massachusetts:

Lucy Cherrington returned to Hawthorne High as a teacher, having been a student years ago and graduating from college with a master in psychology. Her teaching methods include empathy, optimism, and unconventional wisdom. A recent divorced mom raising two kids, Lucy understands that life never goes according to plan. To her students, she becomes more than a teacher—she’s a mentor, advocate, and the one that reminds them they can be whoever they want in life. Lucy helps a new generation discover what it means to chase their dreams.

Bianca Fisher is a girl who always seems composed, even when she’s questioning her future. She grew up in Hawthorne alongside her best friend and next door neighbour Sebastian, sharing music, dreams, and an unbreakable bond. At school, she’s known for her talent, kindness, and determination to prove she belongs on stage. At home, she balances life with her stepmother and younger half-sister while trying to find independence. Bianca is learning that chasing her dreams might mean leaving the place and people that made her who she is.

Sebastian Hart has spent his whole life figuring things out on his own. Raised by a teenage mother after his father was killed by a drunk driver before he was born, music became the alternative for the things he could never personally talk about. At Hawthorne High, he’s known as the quiet guy with a keyboard and a gift for writing songs that can be a little too personal. His lifelong friendship with Bianca has always been the constant in his life, even as the world feels like it’s falling apart. As he grows up, Sebastian begins to realize that finding his voice means confronting the rough patches of his life.

Marigold Matthews—better known as Goldie—is a storm of creativity, curiosity, and unapologetically being herself. Growing up in a loud, loving, and very large family from Beverly Hills taught her how to make herself stand out in a room full of people. She brings color and chaos to every room, whether she’s decorating rehearsal spaces or making playlists for her and her friends. Goldie believes music should feel alive, loud, and honest, just like her. When she meets rocker Miles Han, she discovers someone who challenges her creativity in ways she never expected.

Crosby Shepard has been a jack of all trades —the star athlete, the bad boy, the guy everyone assumes has his future figured out. But beneath the surface, Crosby has never been sure about what he wants in life. Hawthorne High sees him as a natural leader on the football field, yet he’s starting to realize he might want more than just joining the NFL. Meeting Haven Carter introduces him to a quieter, more creative side of life he never thought about. As Crosby grows closer to his friends, he begins to redefine what success really means.

Rae Kaneko observes the world carefully before deciding who she really is. Thoughtful, perceptive, and quietly confident, Rae prefers meaningful conversations instead of loud environments. Her interests range from art and literature to exploring ideas that challenge the status quo. At Hawthorne High, she slowly becomes an anchor in group of friends—the one who listens, questions, and offers her perspective when things get complex. Meeting Oriana Scott helps Rae realize that vulnerability can be just as powerful as independence.

Justice Rosales lives life at full blast. A natural performer with a sharp sense of humor, Justice believes that the stage is the one place where people can truly be whoever they are without shame. At Hawthorne High, he’s known for his dramatic flair, big personality, and unwavering loyalty to his friends. But behind the confidence is someone who understands what it means to fight for what is right. When Justice begins a relationship with football player Patrick Leary, he discovers that courage can look different for everyone.

Secondary:

Miles Han is the electrifying frontman of Hawthorne’s punk band, The Overdrive. Fiercely independent and passionate about music, he built his reputation on loud guitars and even louder opinions. For Miles, music has always been about rebellion and authenticity, even when it puts him at odds with the people around him. His relationship with Goldie challenges him to explore new creative directions he never considered before. When his place in The Overdrive falls apart, Miles is forced to decide what kind of musician—and person—he really wants to be.

Haven Carter spends most afternoons working at FlipSide Diner, where she’s become a familiar face to half the town. Friendly, observant, and quietly artistic, she sees stories everywhere she looks, especially through the lens of her camera. While most people treat Hawthorne as just another small town, Haven has always believed there’s something special hidden in its everyday moments. Her growing connection with Crosby Shepard encourages both of them to see the world differently. For Haven, the challenge isn’t finding beauty—it’s deciding whether she’s brave enough to chase it beyond Hawthorne.

🦣 for Crosby?

1. A summer trip they think of fondly: Crosby’s favourite summer trip was a spontaneous road trip to the coast with his family. He still thinks about the week they spent in a tiny seaside town, sleeping in a cramped rental house, exploring little shops, eating too much junk food, swimming until sunset, and staying up late on the beach telling stories. It wasn’t the destination that stuck with him; it was the feeling of being completely carefree and surrounded by people who made him feel like he belonged.

2. Their favorite Disney princess: Belle. He might jokingly claim he doesn’t have a favourite Disney princess, until Beauty and the Beast comes on, at which point he’ll quietly admit, “Okay, Belle’s pretty cool.”

3. The first song they would dance to with their partner at their wedding: “You Are the Reason” – Calum Scott & Leona Lewis.

4. If they have tattoos or piercings: He isn’t the type to get ink on impulse. His first (and possibly only) tattoo is a small compass. It’s on his shoulder blade. Crosby has never really been interested in piercings. It’s less about disliking them and more that they’ve just never felt like him.

5. The scariest moment in their life: The scariest moment in Crosby’s life was getting the phone call that his older cousin had been in a serious accident. The drive to the hospital is what stays with him. Every possible outcome races through his head, and for the first time he realizes that no amount of optimism or careful planning can protect the people he cares about. The waiting room, the silence, the uncertainty, and not knowing if he’d be okay is far more terrifying to him than any physical danger he could face himself. That experience changes him. From then on, he’s the friend who always asks people to text when they get home, worries if someone doesn’t answer, and never takes ordinary days with the people he loves for granted. It’s the kind of fear Crosby rarely talks about, but it quietly shapes how fiercely he loves and looks after others.

6. If they would break the law: Crosby generally wouldn’t break the law. He’s the type who believes rules usually exist for a reason and prefers to do the right thing, even when it’s inconvenient. If Crosby ever did break the law, he’d probably feel guilty afterward and be more concerned with whether he did the right thing morally than whether he got caught. He’s someone whose moral compass is guided more by compassion than rebellion.

7. Their favorite reality show (because everyone secretly has one): His favorite would be The Amazing Race. It fits him because it’s less about drama and more about teamwork, resilience, quick thinking, and seeing the world. Crosby loves watching contestants solve problems together, adapt under pressure, and experience different cultures. He’d spend half the episode saying things like, “Why would they take that route?” or, “I’d definitely do the Detour instead.”

8. If they have a favorite chore: Crosby’s favorite chore is mowing the lawn. There’s something satisfying about it for him. He likes the visible progress, the smell of fresh cut grass, and the excuse to throw on a playlist or podcast and tune out for an hour. It’s one of the few chores he genuinely doesn’t mind doing because it gives him time to think.

9. If they like being in pictures and what faces they make in them: Crosby doesn’t mind being in pictures, but he doesn’t like feeling posed. If someone says, “Stand still and smile,” his smile usually looks a little stiff. The best photos of him are the candid ones where he’s laughing or talking to someone.

10. If they get along with kids: Yes. Crosby gets along with kids remarkably well, even though he doesn’t actively try to be “the fun adult.” He’s patient, approachable, and never talks down to them. Instead of forcing conversation, he meets kids where they are. If a child wants to spend twenty minutes explaining dinosaurs, superheroes, or their latest drawing, Crosby gives them his full attention.

🌧️⚔️🌌🦉for Crosby for this game?

🌧️: Crosby’s soul feels like late autumn coastal weather in Hawthorne, Massachusetts. The kind of day where the sky can’t decide if it wants to clear or storm. Not a violent thunderstorm. More like streetlights flickering on while someone drives with music too loud. He’s emotionally overcast, carrying pressure, expectation, and loneliness quietly instead of explosively. There’s restlessness underneath him, like weather that keeps changing direction. But there are also breaks in the clouds whenever he’s around Haven, art, music, or moments where nobody expects him to be “the guy who has it figured out.”

⚔️: Hawthorne High School Crosby gets dangerously calm when he’s furious but trying to stay polite. He’s not the type to explode first, especially because he’s spent years being the “leader,” the athlete, the guy adults expect to stay composed. So instead of yelling, he becomes sharply controlled. The scary part is that Crosby’s sarcasm gets surgical when he’s angry. He knows exactly how to phrase things so they technically sound respectful while clearly meaning: “I am one sentence away from losing my temper.” Because he usually keeps emotions private, people at Hawthorne, Massachusetts often don’t realize how angry he is until afterward.

🌌: Crosby’s biggest “what if” is probably:“What if I become exactly who everyone expects me to be…and still end up unhappy?”. That fear sits underneath almost everything he does in Hawthorne, Massachusetts. He’s spent so long being “the athlete,” “the future football guy,” “the dependable one,” that sometimes he isn’t sure whether the life he’s heading toward is actually his or just the one people applauded loudest. The terrifying part for Crosby isn’t failure. It’s success that feels empty. He can imagine the version of his future everyone else sees (football scholarships, applause at games, his dad being proud, people saying, “Crosby Shepard always had it figured out.”)

But late at night, when things get quiet, he wonders (What if I stop making art entirely?What if I never tell people who I really am?What if I leave Hawthorne and miss it forever? What if I stay and never become anything more?) And because he hides vulnerability behind humor and composure, he rarely says any of this out loud. It comes out sideways. Haven especially unsettles him because she makes him imagine a life built around meaning instead of expectation. That’s exciting to him and genuinely terrifying. Crosby’s deepest fear isn’t that he’ll fail. It’s that one day he’ll wake up successful, admired, and completely disconnected from himself.

🦉: Crosby is constantly telling other people some version of: “You should just say what you actually mean.” Which is deeply ironic, because he almost never does that himself. At Hawthorne High School he’s good at cutting through other people’s confusion. If Bianca is spiraling, Goldie is overthinking, or someone’s dancing around their feelings, Crosby gets impatient with dishonesty fast. He genuinely believes people deserve honesty and authenticity. The problem is that he applies that belief to everyone except himself. Part of that comes from growing up emotionally reserved at home and learning independence early. He’s comfortable being the reliable person for other people, but not being emotionally dependent on anyone himself. So he becomes the friend giving life-changing advice while personally making the exact opposite choice. That contradiction is a huge part of Crosby. He’s emotionally intelligent enough to recognize truth immediately, just not brave enough to live by it all the time.

R. royalty for the Hawthorne characters!

Bianca Fisher: The “Golden Princess” / future queen everyone believes in. Bianca would excel at diplomacy, public speaking, and appearances—she’s the one the kingdom trusts. But behind closed doors, she’d feel trapped by expectations and terrified of making the wrong choice. She’d secretly sneak out to experience normal life. As a commoner, she’d struggle at first without structure, but quickly find freedom in choosing her own path—probably pursuing performing arts without pressure. She’d finally realize she doesn’t need a crown to matter.

Sebastian Hart: The reluctant prince / “spare” with hidden depth. Sebastian would hate the spotlight but become beloved for his sincerity. He’d write songs about palace life in secret and connect more with staff than nobles. He’d constantly feel like he doesn’t belong. As a commoner, he’d thrive creatively. Without pressure, he becomes a powerful storyteller, maybe a street musician or songwriter whose work spreads organically. Losing status would actually help him find himself.

Goldie Matthews: The unconventional royal / chaotic younger princess. Goldie would completely disrupt tradition—hosting wild court events, wearing nontraditional outfits, and championing the arts. Some would see her as “too much,” but the people would adore her. Honestly? She’d LOVE being a commoner. Freedom to express herself fully, explore different creative scenes, and live loudly without restriction. She’d still act like royalty—just without the title.

Crosby Shepard: The noble knight / prince of the people. Crosby would take duty seriously—charity events, public appearances, representing the crown with integrity. But he’d quietly question if he’s living someone else’s dream. As a commoner, he’d feel lost at first without a defined role, but eventually find purpose in community work, coaching, or something grounded and meaningful.

Rae Kaneko: The quiet strategist / royal advisor or scholar. Rae wouldn’t crave attention, but she’d be essential behind the scenes—handling diplomacy, research, and decision-making. She’d prefer the library to the throne room. As a commoner, she’d transition smoothly—probably becoming a writer, academic, or artist. Less pressure, more authenticity.

Justice Morales: The iconic royal / fashion-forward, history-making monarch. Justice would redefine what royalty looks like. He’d use the platform to challenge norms, advocate for self-expression, and turn every appearance into a statement. Some critics, lots of fans. Still iconic as a commoner. He’d dominate local arts scenes, fashion, or performance spaces. The crown never defined them—he is the moment either way.

Lucy Cherrington: The wise queen / beloved by the people. Lucy would lead with empathy and emotional intelligence. She’d prioritize mental health, education, and community well-being over tradition. People would trust her deeply. As a commoner, she’d naturally become a mentor, teacher, or community leader. Her influence doesn’t depend on a crown.
