NAME: Liora Wren Thorne FACECLAIM: Odessa A’zion NICKNAME(S): Lo, Birdie AGE: 23 PRONOUNS: She/Her ORIGIN: Raised in a remote research reserve between Oregon and Northern California CURRENTLY: Living near a coastal college town, taking a gap year

BACKGROUND: Liora Wren Thorne was born under a canopy of pines and thunder, with the hum of field notes and birdsong filling the air. Raised on the outskirts of society by two devoted zoologists, she learned early how to listen, how to watch, and how to read a room without saying a word. Her parents’ passion for the natural world became her lullaby, and their unorthodox lifestyle shaped her into someone deeply intuitive—yet emotionally reserved.

The unexpected birth of her twin siblings when she was 15 turned her from observer to caretaker overnight. She loved them fiercely, but their arrival also stirred a dormant ache in her—a desire to be seen, not just useful. She’s never said it out loud, but sometimes she wonders if she disappeared, would anyone really notice?

After high school, instead of enrolling immediately in college like her peers, she took a gap year, working part-time at a wildlife sanctuary and couch-surfing in a nearby coastal town. It was the first time she wasn’t under anyone’s microscope—but that freedom has come with its own set of questions. Like who is she outside of others’ needs? And is it okay to want something (or someone) for herself?

PERSONALITY: Liora is a soft presence with sharp edges. She’s incredibly observant—nothing slips past her—but she rarely voices her opinions unless she’s emotionally stirred. Her jealousy isn’t loud; it’s silent and heavy, noticeable only in the way she retreats. There’s a quiet yearning in her that few get to see, and even fewer are allowed to touch.

She is an old soul in a modern world, with hands that smell like eucalyptus and notebooks full of pressed flowers and dream fragments. She’s the type to notice if someone’s favorite sweater hasn’t been worn in a while, or if they changed their cologne because they’re trying to forget someone.

Her love language is service—small, unspoken things. She is easily overlooked, and that’s something she both hates and hides behind.

NICKNAME(S):Sol, Solace, Mari

AGE:29

PRONOUNS:She/Her

HERITAGE:Italian-American Born in southern Italy → immigrated to New Jersey in 2004 at age 8.

FACECLAIM:Celeste Dalla Porta

CURRENT HOME: Lives in the apartment above her family’s laundromat in New Jersey, serving as in-home caregiver for her 108-year-old grandmother, Nonna Toochi.

BACKGROUND

Mari Solace Caravetta was born in a small coastal town in southern Italy — the kind of place where church bells ring too early, kids play soccer in the street, and neighbors argue loudly and love loudly. Her start in life was warm, but inconsistent. Her mother and father slowly drifted out of her world, showing up less and less until their absences became the norm.

At age eight, her grandparents Rocco and Toochi Caravetta took her in and moved her to New Jersey. They raised her in their apartment above the family laundromat — a building that became her second skin and her first real home.

Mari grew up in the rhythm of that place:

Falling asleep to the hum of washers

Doing homework between folding tables

Eating dinner upstairs with Nonna

Running down the stairs when customers needed change

Watching Nonno charm the neighborhood regulars

But at sixteen, her world cracked. Nonno Rocco died suddenly, leaving her grief quiet and heavy — but it also deepened her bond with Nonna, who leaned on Mari more and more each year.

Now at 108 years old, Nonna Toochi relies on Mari for bathing, meals, medication, companionship, and everything in between. And Mari does it without complaint — not out of duty, but out of devotion. She considers it a blessing to care for the woman who cared for her when her parents didn’t.

The Caravetta cousins, still living nearby, step in to run the laundromat when Mari needs to stay upstairs with Nonna. It’s an unspoken family pact:

Mari cares for Nonna. The cousins care for the laundromat.

Mari doesn’t dream of a bigger life. She doesn’t feel trapped. She feels content, grounded, and grateful to be exactly where she is.

PERSONALITY

Mari Solace is warm, outspoken, and boldly honest — but never cruel. She speaks freely, stands her ground, and advocates for what’s right, but she always does it with respect and emotional awareness. She reads a room well and knows when to soften, when to joke, and when to call someone out gently.

She bears stress quietly. She can be overwhelmed, but she almost never shows it. The only tell she has is stepping onto the fire escape for a cigarette — her private ritual, her breath, her release valve.

She’s loyal to her core, mildly possessive of the people she loves, and softly jealous in a way that shows through subtle withdrawal rather than confrontation. She doesn’t explode; she retreats, observes, and returns once she’s grounded again.

Above all, she is dependable. If someone needs her, she’s there. Always.
