Romeo(w) (Right)

A very anxiety-ridden Shadowguy, who was very suddenly promoted from janitor to accountant. The stressful nature of his job causes him to be kind of skittish and jump at the smallest things due to a lack of sleep. His primary focus as of right now is to make sure Tenna and his show doesn’t go insanely out of budget and make the entire studio crash and burn. 

He is currently divorced, and the primary caretaker of his only daughter, Gattina. He tries not to let the stresses of his job affect his home life and her. When he’s not working and with his kid, he’s a lot more cheerful and smile-y. He’s sure to make time to play with her and help her with her needs.

As a Guy(™) who exists in shadow society and interacts with fellow Shadowguys(™), he’s pretty friendly, and tries to help the others to the best of his ability, despite his mountains of work piled in front of him. He has little nervous tics, like adjusting his sleeves or idly clicking his pen or tapping his fingers on a table/wall. More often than not when you try to hold a conversation with him, he’ll start to doze off. This isn’t him being rude, rather he is running on like 3 hours of sleep. Someone give this man a blanket and pillow now!!

His voice sounds like a clarinet!

he finds out about tenna’s massive wealth in the bonus room(s) and flips his desk

Stefania (Left)

A famous actress Shadowlady, who is constantly working on movies and shows, particularly in 40s-50s-esque black-and-white crime dramas. Revered for her beauty and acting talent, she finds herself craving the attention of the spotlight, fans, press, and all of that. Quite the diva too. 

Somehow bags this sad meow meow (in the most literal sense) and has a daughter with him. A little later, they divorced. It wasn’t on bad terms, it’s just that their lifestyles are vastly different and it’s hard to maintain a relationship like this. Unfortunately, compared to Romeo, she’s not as actively involved with her daughter’s upbringing as he is, but she’ll occasionally spoil her from time to time with nice clothes, toys, etc. 

Interacting with her, she’s very aware of her status as a movie/TV star, and holds herself to that standard. Very elegant, classy, always with a smoking pipe in hand. She talks smoothly and with confidence, and she’ll occasionally gossip about other cast members.

Her voice sounds like a kalimba to me!

Gattina (Center)

The baby. The child. The lil’ one. The

Gattina is a young Shadowling who hasn’t quite figured out how to manipulate her shadow form yet, so as of right now, she’s kind of just a standing cat. She’s always a beaming child, happy and carefree. She’s too young to understand the divorce itself, so she’s just a little confused as to why she doesn’t see her mother as much anymore.

When her father is at work, she usually hangs out at the costume department with the staff there, as a sort of daycare for her. They make sure she’s kept busy and fed, and she gets to dress up in stuff as a bonus! When her father isn’t working, she’s attached at the leg and asking lots of questions about his work and when he’ll be ready to play with her. Before he leaves for work, she ties a suit tie to his tail for good luck. 

When you interact with Gattina, she’s actually pretty shy. She doesn’t do well with people she doesn’t know that well, but once she’s more accustomed to your presence, she’s a little ball of joy that’ll be asking you to play with her and look at her drawings. She might also try to use you to get some milk/cream based desserts (the buffet table is too high for her to reach).
