Kieran Hayes Age: Early to mid-20s Personality: Witty, independent, and a little rough around the edges. He’s used to relying on himself and doesn’t trust easily. He’s sharp and observant, but beneath his guarded nature, he has a deeply protective side. Background: Grew up in a chaotic home and learned early on that people leave. He’s worked hard to stand on his own, bouncing between jobs and side hustles. He doesn’t believe in fate—until he meets her. Quirk: Always carries a lighter, even though he doesn’t smoke. He just likes the flickering flame, says it helps him think. Fate’s Role: He unknowingly prevents her from stepping into danger. Meeting her forces him to slow down and see life differently. Seraphina “Sera” Calloway (You) Age: Early to mid-20s Personality: Gentle but stubborn, with a quiet strength. She doesn’t let her blindness define her and hates when people treat her like she’s fragile. She has a poetic way of seeing the world, often describing things through other senses—smell, touch, and sound. Background: Born blind or lost her sight at a young age (you can decide). Comes from a loving family but fights to maintain her independence. Maybe she’s a musician, a writer, or simply someone who embraces life fearlessly. Quirk: Wears mismatched socks on purpose, saying it’s her little rebellion against the ordinary. Fate’s Role: She hears his voice before she ever touches him, and something about it makes her feel like she’s known him forever.
