Meet the characters from The Irrational

Alec Mercer

Oh man, Alec is such a fascinating character! He’s like this brilliant but totally chaotic mind, right? I mean, he’s got that whole genius vibe, but he’s also messy and kind of unpredictable — like, you never really know what he’s gonna do next, and that’s half the fun! And can we talk about his passion? He dives headfirst into his work, but then he’ll just casually throw out some weird, eccentric theories that make you go, “Wait, what?!” Total nerd, yet so charismatic at the same time. It’s like, one minute he’s overanalyzing everything, and the next he’s just a hot mess trying to figure out life — relatable, am I right?

Marisa Clark

Okay, Marisa is seriously the queen of balancing everything! She’s like this powerhouse who juggles her job and personal life like a pro, but then you see those moments of vulnerability that just hit you right in the feels. I love how she’s super practical and sharp, yet there’s this underlying warmth to her that makes you want to root for her! And don’t even get me started on her sarcasm — it’s on point! Like she could roast you and then give you a hug right after. Such a complex mix of strength and empathy; she’s definitely the glue that holds everyone together.

Kylie

OMG, Kylie is like the unexpected wild card of the group! She’s got this quirky energy that just lights up the room, you know? One minute she’s deep in some philosophical debate, and the next she’s cracking jokes that leave everyone in stitches. But there’s also this depth to her that makes you realize she’s not just all fun and games; she’s got her own struggles and insecurities that she hides behind that bubbly personality. Seriously, her character development is just epic — watching her grow and confront her fears is so satisfying, and I can’t help but cheer for her! Also, her fashion sense? Total standout!

Phoebe

Oh my gosh, Phoebe is like the epitome of cool, right? She’s got this effortlessly laid-back vibe, but there’s so much going on under the surface. She’s super intuitive and often sees things that others miss, which is both a blessing and a curse. Sometimes she seems almost too chill about everything, but then you realize she’s just really good at handling life’s curveballs. And let’s be real — her dry humor and quick wit? So good! She’s like the friend you can always count on to be real with you, and her little quirks just make her so relatable. Seriously, I could talk about her all day!
