Daphne - 50’s, has lived her life in the shadow of her fabulous sister, Anne. Daphne is crippled by her lack of self-worth and believes that her only way to have any sort of value is through the acceptance of her idol, Anne.
Anne – 40’s - 50’s, Daphne’s sister. Anne believes herself to be a cut above her social class and especially Daphne. Anne is on her way to being a part of a small clique of indulgent and pretentious wealthy women.
Riya – 40’s – 60’s, Daphne’s oddball, in-your-face, friend, and, in a crowded field, the maddest person in the room.
Katherine – 30’s - 50’s, a member of the small clique of indulgent and pretentious wealthy women that Anne aspires to be a part of.
Juliet - 30’s - 50’s, Katherine’s friend and a member of the small clique of indulgent and pretentious wealthy women that Anne aspires to be a part of. Juliet is a little dim and obsessed with Hugh Jackman.
Jasmine - 20’s, works at the cafe, has a double Masters in History and World Literature. Quite possibly the only sane person in the room.
