Character Bios

Roslyn

Roslyn has moved around a lot. She's super adaptable to new situations. But after her parents get divorced, just “fitting in” doesn’t fill her up like it used to. In a new town (once again) she’d like to find a way to just be herself this time around – and to be genuinely known and loved.

Therapist

She's wise and non-judgmental. The therapist helps Roslyn to see that finding peace does not always depend on external circumstances changing, but changing one’s perspective on those circumstances.

Hanna

Hanna's comfortable in her own skin, and isn’t really concerned about fitting in or pleasing others. It takes time for Roslyn to appreciate Hanna’s friendship.
