Character Breakdowns

JOAN (Lead, Female 20s): Strong, curious, and trying to work her way up the ladder. She’s in over her head trying to do something good with her parents money.
 
THE SNAKE (Lead, Female 20s): The clear leader and richest of the group, but doesn’t show it. Knows she can do anything she wants.
 
THE DEER (Lead, Female 20s): A young woman who is overly innocent, completely neglecting her family's dark background.
 
THE BEAR (Lead, Male 20s): An overly-macho heir to a huge hunting organization who boasts about his unethical kills.
 
THE GATOR (Lead, Male 20s): A Florida-man who’s father is a leader within the Border Control organization.
 
THE RAT (Supporting, Any Gender/Age): A servant and looked down on by the other animals. Simply a bystander for the whole ordeal, a casualty of the infighting.
