Meet The Characters

• Ethan Lawson Wate - The main protagonist, Ethan is the son of two writers, and he has lived in Gatlin his entire life. He is considered somewhat popular, being Emily Asher's ex-boyfriend and a member of the basketball team, but he feels somewhat like an outcast. His one goal in life is to escape Gatlin forever and not become stuck there like many other of the small town's citizens. He enjoys reading everything from classic novels to comic books. He is the descendant of Ethan Carter Wate.

• Lena Duchannes - Another main protagonist, Lena is somewhat of an outcast among Stonewall Jackson High when she first arrives in Gatlin.
