Quiet, guarded, and methodical. A man who’s fought hard to create stability for himself, only to be pulled back into family chaos when he discovers a fairy in his apartment. Carries the weight of being “the successful one” in the family, conflicted about using the fairy’s power. Must balance grounded realism with emotional vulnerability.
Elmer’s mother. Warm, lively, and deeply resilient from years of working-class struggle. Fiercely protective and unapologetically direct, but often overbearing. Believes in seizing any opportunity—especially when it comes to the fairy’s wishes. Balances moments of tenderness with manipulation when pushed.
Elmer’s older brother. Soft-spoken, emotionally fragile, with a mind that drifts between lucidity and hallucination. Sensitive and gentle when present, but distant and unpredictable due to his mental state. Experiences vivid visions of their late grandmother, which blur reality.
The youngest sibling. Playful, sarcastic, and opinionated. Hides fear and uncertainty behind humor and constant phone use. Both skeptical of and tempted by the fairy’s power, often challenging Elmer’s control of the situation.
