Meet the characters

Name: Ivy Carter

Role: The girl who falls for the ghost
Age: 17
Appearance: Ivy has short, wavy auburn hair and freckles across her cheeks. She often wears oversized sweaters and combat boots, giving off an effortlessly quirky vibe. Her emerald-green eyes light up with curiosity, and she has a habit of sketching the world around her in a small notebook.

Personality: Ivy is kind-hearted, adventurous, and deeply empathetic. Moving to the small town with her father after her mother's death, she feels like a misfit in the quiet, eerie community. She has a fascination with mysteries and ghost stories, which leads her to uncover secrets about her new home. Beneath her cheerful exterior, she struggles with grief and loneliness.

Name: Ethan Hale

Role: The ghost-next-door
Age (at death): 18
Appearance: Ethan has a tall, lean frame with messy black hair and stormy gray eyes. As a ghost, he has a faint, translucent glow, and his casual attire from the 1980s hints at the era of his death—a leather jacket and worn-out jeans.

Personality: Ethan is witty, charming, and a bit sarcastic, often masking his sadness with humor. Trapped as a ghost for decades, he's resigned himself to a solitary existence until Ivy arrives and starts noticing him. He's fiercely protective of Ivy and reluctant to share the truth about how he died, knowing it could put her in danger.

Name: Liam Carter

Role: Ivy's father
Age: 42
Appearance: Liam is a ruggedly handsome man with sandy blond hair and kind blue eyes. He works as a journalist and often wears flannel shirts and jeans.

Name: Claire Bennett

Role: Ivy's new best friend
Age: 17
Appearance: Claire is a cheerful, outgoing girl with curly brown hair and a sunny smile. She often wears bold, colorful outfits and loves accessorizing with charm bracelets.

Personality: Claire is the town historian's granddaughter and knows every spooky tale about the area. She's fearless and curious, always up for an adventure. Claire quickly befriends Ivy and helps her dig into Ethan's mysterious past, though she's skeptical about ghosts at first.

Name: Victor "Vic" Ward

Role: Antagonist (the man tied to Ethan's death)
Age: Appears 40s (but is much older)
Appearance: Vic is a tall, imposing figure with sharp features, slicked-back dark hair, and piercing blue eyes. He always dresses impeccably in black suits, giving off an aura of menace.

Personality: Vic is manipulative, ruthless, and secretive. He's tied to the dark history of the town, possibly through supernatural means, and has been trying to cover up his involvement in Ethan's death for years. When Ivy starts investigating, Vic grows increasingly hostile, determined to keep the past buried—no matter the cost.

Name: Maeve Hale

Role: Ethan's younger sister
Age: 45
Appearance: Maeve is a frail but spirited woman with snow-white hair and kind, hazel eyes. She always wears vintage dresses and has a collection of Ethan's belongings in her home, including a journal that holds vital clues.

Personality: Maeve is warm and nurturing, though haunted by guilt for not knowing the truth about Ethan's death. She's thrilled to meet Ivy, who reminds her of Ethan's kind heart, and becomes a crucial ally in unraveling the town's dark secrets.
