Meet the characters from Pieces of Her

Laura Oliver

Okay, Laura is the kind of person who makes you rethink what “mom” means — calm at the PTA one second, utterly terrifying the next, like a storm in sensible shoes. She has this secret-history vibe (you can see it in the way she folds a map or avoids answering certain questions) and also makes a mean lemon cake, which is the weirdest combo and I love it. She’s fiercely protective in a way that’s equal parts heroic and barely controlled chaos, and she’ll surprise you with how practical she gets under pressure. Also she sometimes hums old jingles while doing terrifying things, which is both adorable and slightly unnerving.

Andy Oliver

Andy is messy in the best way — cynical, low-key brilliant, and very done with adulting until circumstances force her to become a tiny tornado of survival skills. She’s the daughter who thought she knew everything about her mom until the rug was pulled out, and then she becomes stubbornly resourceful (also cries a lot, but quietly). She collects dumb mugs with motivational quotes and swears like a sailor when she’s stressed, which is both charming and a little sad. Honestly, she’s relatable chaos: loves lists but loses them, wants stability but keeps getting dragged into adventure.

Jane

Jane is the cool, hard-to-read wildcard — the person who speaks in small sentences and leaves you filling in whole novels in your head. She’s clearly connected to the darker threads of the story (always shows up in rain or at odd hours) and has this effortless competence that makes everyone else look clumsy. Also, random detail — she likes chamomile tea and owns one pair of gloves for everything, which somehow makes her less terrifying and more human. She’s mysterious but reliably effective, like a Swiss Army knife with emotional baggage.

Nick

Nick gives off “nice boy with a secret” energy — sweet, protective, and probably way more complicated than he lets on (he smiles, but you can see the worry lines). He’s the kind of guy who’ll defend you in a bar fight and then text you two hours later apologizing for breathing too loud; very earnest, sometimes maddeningly earnest. He loves old rock songs and midnight pancakes, which is charming, and he’s loyal in a way that’s both noble and occasionally blinding. There’s a softness to him that clashes with the darker stuff around him, and that tension is basically his whole thing.

Martin Queller

Martin is the smarmy, well-dressed antagonist vibe — bureaucratic, patient, and very good at holding grudges (file folders are his love language). He radiates control: neat cufflinks, quieter hands, and a smile that suggests he’s played chess while you were playing checkers. He’s terrifying in a measured, administrative way, like someone who’ll ruin you with paperwork and a polite phone call, but also has weirdly human ticks (collects matchbooks? or maybe coins — I can’t remember). Ultimately he’s polished menace: efficient, irritatingly calm, and very fond of closing doors gently behind him.

Charlie Bass

Charlie is the rough-around-the-edges local who’s both helpful and slightly unsettling — dependable in a crisis, probably smells like coffee and motor oil, and says the wrong thing at the wrong time. He’s practical to a fault, loves crossword puzzles and bad dad jokes, and has this weirdly soft spot for old dogs or whatever animal shows up in a scene. Sometimes he’s heroic, sometimes he’s clumsy, and sometimes he’s suspiciously lucky, which makes you wonder whose side he’s really on (or maybe he doesn’t even know). He’s the town’s messy moral compass: frustrating, weirdly tender, and impossible to ignore.
