Alice
The driven strategist shaped by a powerful and emotionally distant background. Ambition runs deep in her veins, but it’s unclear whether she’s chasing something of her own—or simply running from the legacy she’s been handed.
Lottie
The vulnerable outsider, a scholarship kid navigating a world that was never built for her. She longs for connection, but that very longing might leave her open to influence—or something more dangerous.
Ethan
The flamboyant, observant insider-outsider. He plays the game on his own terms, if he plays it at all. Perceptive and unpredictable, he sees more than he lets on—and he never quite fits where people expect him to.
Charles
The embodiment of power and pressure. Cold, commanding, and unwavering, he seems to represent everything the system rewards—and everything it quietly destroys.
