Jack - (Plays as a junior in high school) Jack is intelligent, loyal to a fault, and is bullied relentlessly. He can be incredibly confident but doubts himself at everything due to this bullying.

Amelia - (Plays as a junior in high school) Amelia is extremely intelligent, very pragmatic, but has a really hard time dealing with her emotions.

Adam - (Plays as a junior in high school) Adam is smart, oozes the confidence of a frat boy, and a jock, but is being abused at home.

Avery - (Plays as a junior in high school) Avery is shy, unconfident, and has severe undiagnosed social anxiety.

Buddy (male, 25-40) Born a human but raised at the North Pole as a Christmas Elf, Buddy is eager to find his place in the world. He is a child at heart and that child-like curiosity makes him both endearing and gets him into trouble. Jovie (female 25+) Buddy’s girlfriend. She works at Macy’s and has a bit of a cynical outlook on life and love because of the men she’s dated. She is caught off guard by Buddy’s genuinely big heart. Walter (Male 40+) Buddy’s workaholic father. He is a Children’s book writer, but lacks any of the childlike spirit that Buddy has. He is selfish, tense, and generally angry with life. Emily (female 35+) Walter’s wife. Though she is sweet and willing to take him in, she thinks Buddy is crazy at first. Wishes her husband would spend more time with the family. Michael (male, plays 12) Buddy’s stepbrother who is excited to have a new friend and brother. Unlike his mother, he doesn’t take much convincing to have Christmas spirit, but like his mother, he wishes his father would spend more time with the family. Deb (female 25+) Greenway (Male, 45+) Santa (male, 50+) Chadwick One of Walter’s right-hand workers. They are desperate to keep their job, and perhaps the dumber of the two. Matthews Elves Ensemble
Walter’s secretary. Takes an instant liking to Buddy simply for the novelty of it. Though she aims to please and is a bit of a suck-up, she feels under appreciated.
Manager
A manager at Macy’s just trying to do their job and get by.
Walter’s boss. He is what Walter will become if he continues down the path he is on. A tyrannical, workaholic who cares nothing about the people around him or who work for him.
Just another workingman. Loves his job and Christmas, but also likes to kick-back and watch the game when a rare opportunity arises. A natural storyteller.
