Allison Jenkins – she/her
Played by Esther Wallace
Character Virtue: Strong
Character Vice: Temperamental
Character moment: I will find hope when I find a redwood tree that hasn’t burned
On first glance, Allison seems like your typical butch lesbian ex-forest ranger: she wears lots of flannel and has a knack for finding good hiking trails. Spend a little longer with her, and you’ll encounter her short temper and sinister secrets that lurk below the surface…
Carlotta Cruz – she/her
Played by Karina Revilla
Character Virtue: Humorous

Naomi, 25, is one of many only-kind-of-successful musicians scraping a living together in LA. Tired of the traffic, unfulfilling day jobs, and bickering with her boyfriend, she escapes to the woods to “find herself,” or at least find a little relief from expectation. When it’s just her and the forest, maybe she can regain some of the freedom she felt backpacking through these woods as a teenager. In the darkness of the oncoming fire, though, freedom is the last thing on her mind.
Sally “Ruby” Jackson – she/her
Played by Jules Pincus
Character Virtue: Optimistic
Character Vice: Lonely
Character moment: I will find hope when I feel comforted and seen.
Ruby is an eccentric, optimistic girly girl who’s just a liiiitle bit repressed. She read up on wilderness survival before this all started, so she’s good to keep around, even if she’s better at explaining how to tie knots rather than doing it. You get the sense that there’s always something she wants to say. But never does. She writes a lot.
