Margaret Woo

Oh man, Margaret is like the ultimate mom friend you didn’t know you needed! She’s got this fierce determination and is always juggling a million things at once, which honestly makes her relatable to anyone trying to balance life and chaos. But don’t let that sweet smile fool you—she’s got a spine of steel and can totally throw down when it comes to protecting her loved ones. Plus, she’s got this hilarious dry humor that just hits you when you least expect it, you know? Like, she could make a quip about the craziness of expat life and you’d be laughing even if things are falling apart!

Hilary Starr

Okay, Hilary is a whole vibe! She’s like the adventurous spirit who’s just out there living her best life, you know? Always willing to dive headfirst into new experiences, and wow, her fashion sense is just *chef’s kiss*! But there’s this deeper side to her—sometimes she feels like an outsider even when she’s surrounded by people, which just makes her super relatable. And don’t even get me started on her fierce loyalty—if you’re in her circle, she’s got your back no matter what.

Mercy is such a complex character, and honestly, I’m here for it! She’s like the perfect blend of tough and tender, always carrying this air of mystery. One second she can be all business, and the next, she’s got this vulnerability that just hits you right in the feels. Plus, the way she navigates her relationships is super intriguing—she’s not afraid to speak her mind, but she’s also deeply caring, which makes her a really compelling character. And that little quirk she has of collecting random trinkets? It’s like a little peek into her soul, and I just adore it!

Okay, Clarke is such a breath of fresh air! He’s got this laid-back charm that makes everyone around him feel comfortable, but don’t let that fool you—he’s also got some serious drive! He’s the kind of guy who can crack a joke while tackling a problem head-on, and I love how he manages to keep things light even in the toughest situations. And can we talk about his random obsession with baking? Like, who would’ve thought this guy could whip up a soufflé while dealing with expat drama? It’s those little quirks that make him so relatable and fun—definitely a character I’d want to hang out with!
