CAST OF CHARACTERS.
HAKU
The Clairvoyant Tarot Reader (40’s, Hawaiian)
A truly wise soul with a big energy and a brutally catty tongue. A confident Capricorn, he doesn’t have time for anyone’s bullshit but is a strong support for those he loves and is great at solving problems. Just don’t ask him to open up and be vulnerable, because that hard shell only opens up for a select few. Or after he’s had a few drinks.
CHRISTINE
the empathic energy healer (50’s, White)
A sweet Earth mother with a penchant for patience, nosiness, and crafting. An eccentric Aquarius, she makes friends with all and she always loves to help anyone in need. Her ability to befriend all also makes her the one to go to for any gossip or information.
MIKKI
The Store Manager (30’s, White)
A forceful, feminine presence who also possesses a sincere smile and an inner gentle calm. A true Cancer, she’s a loyal and maternal leader who uses her strong intuitive skills to smell out any deceit. She is truly the epitome of what one would call “witchy”, given her bold hair, black wardrobe, and the rings she wears on every finger. Not to mention that she was raised by her grandma who taught her all about rituals and moon ceremonies, so she’s a literal witch who always uses her powers for good.
THE SHOP
The store has existed for over twenty years, and for most of that it was sustained by a tight-knit community of spiritual seekers who viewed it as their own private island of misfit toys. But in recent years, competition and a change of seasons has left the store with less of a solid customer base, and it’s been in major need of an identity update. It must evolve in order to keep up with the current explosion of interest in all things spiritual and supernatural, as well as to just keep its doors open and revitalize itself as a space for the community.
KIKI
the astrological crystalista (20’s, Black)
A confident and outgoing woman who uses her intrinsic charms and beauty to get out of any mess that her mouth makes. An impassioned Aries, she says it like it is and loves attention, but she can also be deeply caring for those she connects to. With a great gift for both healing and marketing, she’s built a powerful online presence as “That witch that gives it to you”, which she’ll bring to The New Age, shaking it up at its core.
VIOLET
the co-worker (30’s, non-binary)
A kind, inquisitive thinker who’s tiny in stature but bold with their use of color and facial expressions. A thoughtful Libra, they work to bring peace to any situation but will also put their feelings and needs in the back seat for the sake of others. They’re extremely easy to talk to but have a secret temper that comes out when prodded too hard.
EVELYN
the past life reader (50’s White)
A gorgeous, elegant woman, assertive and confident in her voice and power. A shrewd Virgo, she loves healing work but also knows it’s a business. She began her career in the fashion world, where she learned that one has to walk with great conviction and a slight sense of arrogance to get ahead.
