Grace asked Penelope Douglas:

Hey I wanted to know from your point of view on what stands out the most in your six characters? One thing that separates them from each other

Penelope Douglas Hi Grace!

That's an interesting question, and it took me some time to figure out. I guess what separates all six characters are their background experiences. The ones that shaped who they became. All of them struggle with issues which are very prominent at these ages, and it makes them unique.

Jared: abandonment
Tate: loss
Madoc: lack of purpose in himself
Fallon: lack of trust in others
Jax: mental and physical abuse
K.C.: identity and self-worth

While we can assume who had it worse than another, we can't really ever know the measure of how someone suffers. None of these characters are the same people, so who's to say that Jax suffered more than Jared or K.C. suffered more than Tate? They're each unique in what they went through and how their particular mindsets got them through it. Everyone suffers and struggles at some time or another. They're suffering doesn't make them unique. Their survival does.

Thank you!!
