Ethan Crane is the twenty-three year old son of Julian and Ivy Crane. He's Cassandra's twin brother. Ethan is your typical all-american good guy. He befriends and trusts very easily, which usually turns to be his biggest downfall. He's the handsome heir to the Crane fortune, whom always finds himself the man of many a woman's dreams. He recently broke up with his girlfriend of two years, Gwen Hotchkiss, whom he had thought was the woman he was going to marry, and has now become very cautious of an romantic relationship of any sort. Of everyone in his family, he's closest to his twin, Cassandra, whom is often his closest confidant as well. Once back in Harmony, Ethan finds himself increasingly attracted to his sister's new roomie.. Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald.
Cassandra Crane is the twenty-three year old daughter of Julian and Ivy Crane. She's Ethan's twin sister. She's an feisty and stubborn spitfire. She's fairly outspoken more than half the time. Although she treats most of her family like people who don't matter, she obviously cares deeply for most of them. She's rebellious against family traditions and matters of the heart. Cassandra recently lost one of the only people that had ever truly mattered to her to an tragic automobile accident, and after coming to the painful realization that Jack is never coming back, she finds herself falling into an deep depression. The only person who knows about Cassandra's past with Jack and her depression is her twin, Ethan. Whom she's closest to.
Hank Bennett is the twenty-seven year old brother of Sam Bennett. Hank is commonly known as a drifter. He had never been able to stay in one place at a time. Among the people that knew him personally in and out of high school, Hank has always been a player. He'd get himself involved with an unavailable woman, and once she eventually broke it off with her boyfriend, he'd sleep with her, then leave her. It was like that with most of the women Hank had been with. He was a disgrace in his brother's eyes; nothing he ever did pleased Sam. Aside from his womanizing ways, Hank is very compassionate towards those he loves. He'd do absolutely anything to protect his friends and family; even if it meant getting himself hurt in the process. Once back in Harmony, Hank finds himself caught between a very tempting, very dangerous love/hate relationship with Gwen Hotchkiss.
Noah Bennett is the twenty-four year old son of Sam and Grace Bennett. He's your typical all-american good guy. Like his father, Noah is an compassionate young man whom always does the right thing. He's hard- working and handsome, and usually finds himself in the middle of everything that goes on around him. He's a heartbreaker among the women in Harmony, yet he still lacks to find that special someone. He's quite outspoken about certain things he believes in. He's a strong believer in god (through his mother). He's currently attending the Police Academy in hopes to become a dectective. His best friend is Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. The two share that special brother/sister-like relationship.
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald is the twenty-one year old daughter of Pilar Lopez- Fitzgerald. Theresa is your typical too-good-to-be true girl. She's constantly doing the right thing by everyone, especially her mother, Pilar, and brother, Luis. She's a strong believer in god and the fates. She believes that with every bad outcome is a happy ending, and that someday.. she'll meet that special someone, and they'll fall madly in love with each other the moment they meet. She's sweet and innocent, yet at the drop of a hat, she can be as evil and vindictive as Ivy Crane given just cause. She's shy around guys, and has never had a boyfriend. She's currently attending Harmony U, majoring in fashion design. Her best friend is Noah Bennett. The two share that special sister/brother-like relationship.
Gwen Hotchkiss is the twenty-five year old daughter of Jonathon and Rebecca Hotchkiss. Gwen, like Cassandra, is your typical fiesty spitfire- temptress. Her personality reveals that of an brash and sassy young woman who could be your best friend one moment, and your worst enemy the next, given just cause. Being the only child of Jonathon and Rebecca, Gwen had inherited the family fortune, causing a whirl-wind of men chasing after her at every corner, in hopes to marry into her family. She just broke up with Ethan, her boyfriend of over two years because of something she thought she felt for Hank Bennett. She's good friends with Ethan's twin, Cassandra.
