Ariel's emotional support human. Cat enthusiast and roomate from College, Evann stands up for Ariel when she won't for herself. The most empathetic person Ariel had ever met until Zach showed up.

Killer of spiders. Extroverted team leader, dragging Ariel into the world when the dorm/apt was the comfiest place. An inspiration to all who know her, Claire has always been Ariels partner in passion for all things that fly, zoom, and go whoosh.

Their powers combined, Ariel and Julia can build anything; anything from a Passover seder cooked in a dorm kitchen, to a rocket kept aloft by Julia's indescribable hatred for aerospace hardware. You may find a Wild Julia leaping the hills of San Francisco in a single bound, carrying a comically large water bottle.

"Where is the current going?!" Was a common refrain between Shannon and Ariel, sisters in electrical tomfoolery. As a professional postcard provisioner, Shannon documents impeccable taste in travel from all her favorite national parks, and her love of nature is something that deeply resonates with Ariel.

Zach's oldest friend. They've committed crimes against art, crimes against better judgement, and crimes against self preservation. As an eyewitness to some of Zach's worst ideas and best attempts at making Macaroni and Cheese, no man is more equipped to help Zach make the best decision of his life.

Zach's sister. It speaks loudly and well to a relationship when siblings who emerge from childhood like feuding gladiators drenched in blood eventually find themselves close and amicable a mere few years later. Jillian has seen Zach grow from a shmuck into a shmuck with excellent taste in fiancées, and Zach is proud to count her among his most trusted and dearest friends.

Zach's best friend from College. Lauren graduated from the same university as Zach and landed on the exact same career progression. Zach has always thought of her as a better and more skilled version of himself at his better moments, while also being a jovial, passionate, and inspirational argument for the better nature of humankind, and the indomitable power of the human spirit.

The person without whom Zach would not have ever met Ariel at all. After meeting online in a forum for discussing engineering disasters in a comedic fashion, Zach was struck with the wisdom, strength, and intellect of this astonishing person. After helping talk Zach into leaving his old job in Lancaster, and meeting in person in Connecticut, she finally convinced him that a better future was possible. How right she is.

Ariel and Zach seldom fight. They fought over who would have Matt by their side at the wedding. A proficient pâtissier, PHD in Pchem, and fellow farmers market fixture, Matt is the person with whom Zach and Ariel share their everyday joys.
