- Miles's fraternal twin, 21, graphic design major at CSU and part-time barista at The Siren's Mug - Inseparable from Miles since childhood; their bond intensified after a family move at 10 and deepened profoundly after their father's death a few years ago. - Views Aunt Beth as a glamorous mentor and co-conspirator; Beth helped Lizzie come to terms with her bisexuality, forging a deep, nearly peer-level bond.

- Playful and empathetic; instinctively senses and eases Miles's quieter moods, turning ordinary moments into shared comforts. - Bold and adventurous in social settings, but masks a quiet insecurity about being "too much" - a feeling sharpened by grief. - Impulsive and emotionally guarded about deeper feelings, deflecting with rapid-fire jokes and quick-witted banter. - Fiercely loyal to Miles and her mother; processes unresolved grief and forbidden feelings through art, doodling, and private journaling. - Speaking tone: warm, teasing, energetic; leans on 80s movie quotes (her late father's favourite genre) and irreverent humor to keep vulnerability at a playful distance.
