Meet the characters from Orphan Black

Sarah Manning

Oh man, Sarah is chaos wrapped in a leather jacket and somehow it works — impulsive, blunt, and the kind of person who’d steal your heart and your bus pass in the same afternoon. She’s a survivor-first, con-artist-with-a-moral-code who will throw a punch and then apologise, probably awkwardly, while lighting a cigarette. Fiercely protective (especially of Kira), surprisingly sentimental under all that sarcasm, and somehow she can both hot-wire a car and recite a poem she half-remembered from childhood. Also she hoards mismatched socks for reasons she cannot explain and insists she hates classical music while crying to a violin solo in the middle of a stakeout.

Felix Dawkins

Felix is pure theatrical brilliance and emotional open-source software — loud, loving, wildly creative, and a hundred percent devoted to family (adopts everyone, literally). He crafts wigs, costumes, and futures with the same manic energy, and will bake you a cupcake that solves your problems or at least distracts you from them for a while. Dramatic one minute, profoundly tender the next, he’s the showman with a heart of gold and the best gossip in town — also collects novelty spoons, because why not. He swears he doesn’t care about titles and then spends three hours arguing about the precise shade of “regret burgundy” for a dress.

Detective Art Bell

Art is the gruff, salt-of-the-earth cop who somehow balances stubborn principle with a soft, protective streak — think bear hug meets police station. He’s methodical, quietly ethical, and gets obsessed in that gentle, dogged way cops do; also, he will absolutely fight for the little guy and then go home and make a nightmare sandwich. There’s a warm, slightly world-weary fatherliness to him, like someone who knows people’s worst and still chooses to believe in them. Oddly sentimental about old jazz records and terrible at texting, which is adorable and infuriating simultaneously.

Siobhan Sadler

Mrs. S is pure enigmatic badass energy — ex-operative, spy-mom, mentor, and the reason people watch carefully around corners in case she’s behind them. She’s fiercely intelligent, a master strategist, and somehow manages to be both terrifying and a warm, grounding presence for the clones; she makes lists like a general and bedtime stories like a secret angel. Stoic but ridiculously sentimental about tiny domestic relics (keeps a box of crumbs? no — but close), and somehow she can bake a perfect scone and dismantle a surveillance network before tea. She claims she hates small talk but will give you a lecture on the ethics of family and then hand you a knitted hat.

Donnie Hendrix

Donnie is this wonderfully awkward, devoted guy who is low-key heroic in the most domestic way — loyal husband, kind neighbor, and secretly weirder than he looks. He fixes things (to the point of obsession), loves his lawn, and will defend the people he cares about with surprising ferocity — also he tells jokes that make you groan and then feel guilty for laughing. Soft-spoken but stubborn, kind of the moral compass who keeps slipping into ridiculous conspiracy theories at 2 a.m., and there’s this weirdly tender habit of collecting old tools that probably means something. He insists he’s boring and then does something quietly brave, like shutting down a lab or quietly calling someone by their childhood nickname.

Kira Manning

Kira is tiny but ferocious — wise beyond her years, curious about the world, and probably more emotionally complex than most adults in the show. She’s fiercely protective of her family, has a weirdly serious love of documentaries, and alternates between kids’ drawings and terrifyingly insightful observations about power. There’s innocence and danger bundled together: sweet one minute, psychic-or-something the next (or at least weirdly attuned), and she collects rocks like they’re state secrets. Also, she’s suspiciously good at negotiating bedtimes and also inexplicably hates carrots but will eat broccoli like a tiny dictator.

Scott

Scott is the reliably decent, sort-of-shy guy who quietly anchors scenes without being flashy — the “normal” in a world of madness, but that normal is oddly admirable. He tries to be helpful, means well, and usually gets roped into complicated messes because of his honesty and soft heart. There’s a nice awkwardness to him — like someone who still texts in full sentences and loves hockey but can’t sleep if a moral question is unresolved. Occasionally does something unexpectedly brave (or accidentally amazing), and also collects vintage hockey cards he never shows anyone, for reasons that are both simple and secretly deep.
