Cast of Characters
Lil Red
Age: 12
Hoodie-wearing, sharp-witted brown-skinned boy who’s curious and creative, but also vulnerable to taking shortcuts. Red also represents misfits who are navigating real dangers in a world that doesn’t always share unspoken rules and street knowledge.
Goldie
Age: 14
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: 70
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
Age: Varies
Digital and real-world predators appear in every episode. These smooth-talkers represent real-world threats and modern-day pressures to promote critical thinking.
