Characters

Rayvn Nash:

While they lived in Del Sol Valley her mother worked as a personal assistant to the stars, including Judith Ward. She nurtured Rayvn’s love of acting and taught her the things she needed to know to survive and thrive in the movie business, but Rayvn feels that her mother left out some details.

Anna Eros:

Anna is a 276 year old vampire who befriended Rayvn and Judith during their ill-fated trip to, and brief captivity in, Forgotten Hollow. She and Rayvn bonded quickly during that time and Anna played a key role in helping them escape before they suffered the same fate as she and her now late husband Karoly did. She was able to discover a method to break the bonds that tied her to Forgotten Hollow and she now lives with Rayvn in the bustling Del Sol Valley suburb of San Myshuno. Until she escaped with Rayvn and Judith she had lived all 276 of her years in a world that had refused to evolve past the 19th century. Forgotten Hollow is so far off the grid it doesn’t even know there is such a thing as a grid. She is getting a crash course in modern life thanks to Rayvn.

Judith Ward:

Many words can be used to describe Judith Ward, talented, driven, legend, diva, manipulator, and ticking time bomb are among the most common. She may be a pain-in-the-ass to some people, but even her enemies respect her talent in front of the camera. Most fans know and love her bad-girl image and live for her latest scandal or seeing which hot young hunk she’s sunk her claws into now. Sometimes those two overlap. But there is another side to Judith that most people outside of the business aren’t aware of, mentor. She won’t mentor just anyone, only those young actresses that show her they have the talent, the passion, and the drive to be successful. Rayvn is her latest project. She has a closet full of skeletons along with more designer gowns than most fashion houses.

Mimi Eleganza/The Lady Mimi Eleganza:

The Lady Mimi Eleganza is the headliner at the Orchid, an LGBTQ+ club in Del Sol Valley. Mimi is transgender and was born into a family that refused to understand or accept them. For now Mimi’s preferred pronouns are they/them off stage and she/her in character. Mimi’s mom is crime boss Nancy Landgraab, who made life a living hell. Mimi knew from an early age that they weren’t the boy everyone else was forcing them to be. As a teenager they found an outlet to express who they are, the world of drag. Mimi began sneaking out, lying about their age, and performing. Nancy eventually found out and put a stop to it, but Mimi knew what they were going to do as soon as they could get out from under Nancy’s control. After graduating and leaving home Mimi was free to explore their gender identity and their career as a drag artist. Now The Lady Mimi is one of the hottest names in the business, but what does that mean for Mimi’s journey to being their authentic self?

Brytani Cho:

Brytani is a standup comic and former co-star of Judith Ward’s. To say that her time working with Judith wasn’t exactly a personal highlight is a bit of an understatement.
