Cast of Characters
Lil Red
Age: 12
Pronouns: he/him
Hoodie-wearing, sharp-witted brown skinned boy, who’s curious, creative, but also easily tempted by shortcuts often. Red also represents misfits, who are navigating real dangers in a world that doesn’t always explain unspoken rules and street knowledge
Goldie
Age: 14
Pronouns: she/her
Goldie is a big-sister figure, wise-savvy like a sage with golden locs. She knows about a few traps because she’s seen them all—she’s Lil Red’s “guardian angel” and will go out of her way to protect younger kids.
Granny O
Age: Timeless
Pronouns: she/her
Lives in the safest house on the block — full of herbs, teas, and history books. She’s got good WiFi and wisdom. She’s in one word: Original.
The Tricksters
Digital and real-world predators appear every episode. These shape-shifters are smooth-talking influencers, who provide adult and peer pressures so kids become critical thinkers a lot faster.
