Roles & Requirements
[KHEA A] (16.) Must be legal 18 but reads younger. Mixed ethnicity (or reads to look mixed race). Smart, tough, opinionated. An introvert, but skilled at pretending she’s an extrovert. Though she’s young, her eyes reveal an old soul. Parents are divorced. She wishes she could skip her teenage years and be an adult already. But in the meantime, she must survive. And to survive, she has to fit in. It’s a constant battle between who she really is vs. who her peers want her to be. At times, when the burden of fitting in becomes unbearable, she isolates herself, which is why her classmates find her bizarre, but they are drawn to her compassion.
[LUCAS A] (17). Must be legal 18 but reads younger. Hispanic or reads to look Hispanic/Latino. Khea’s best friend. Extroverted. A kind face, tall (do not limit based on height please), handsome, a ladies man. Warm and funny. He shines. Every kid wants to be in his light. Stubborn and immature at times, he lives in the moment. He can be recklessly impulsive. Wants people to believe he’s got everything under control because so many of his peers look up to him as a role model.
When he messes up, he won’t admit it. Views vulnerability as a weakness. He plays soccer, but deep down inside he wants to be an artist. Open to Caucasian guys with darker more Mediterranean coloring and features. Preference is no blonds/blue eyes (although we know there are many in Spanish Speaking countries, this is not the stereotypical look desired). Think Spain, Mexico, Argentina, etc…also open to Greek, Italian, Brazilian and so forth.
[KHEA B] (16). Open to those under 18. Please do not suggest anyone 18 and up for organization purposes. Mixed ethnicity (or reads to look mixed race). Smart, tough, opinionated. An introvert, but skilled at pretending she’s an extrovert. Though she’s young, her eyes reveal an old soul. Parents are divorced. She wishes she could skip her teenage years and be an adult already.
