Jax Teller

Delaney Hayes

Delaney “Laney” Hayes is a junior at Charming High. Sweet, affectionate, playful, and naturally friendly, she has a stubborn streak and a sharp mouth that comes out whenever someone pushes her buttons. She’s independent, fiercely loyal, and more sensitive than she lets people see, often hiding hurt behind sarcasm or pretending she doesn’t care. Laney loves classic cars, loud music, iced coffee, oversized hoodies, summer nights, sneaking out, late-night phone calls, animals, and driving with the windows down. She values honesty, loyalty, affection, consistency, and having the freedom to make her own choices. She hates being controlled, ignored, lied to, embarrassed, or treated like an afterthought. She dreams about eventually experiencing a life beyond Charming but hasn’t figured out exactly what she wants yet. Romantic underneath all her attitude, Laney wants the kind of love that feels safe without being boring—and Jax Teller is exactly the kind of trouble she never planned on falling for.

Tara Knowles

Tara is a junior with a sweet face that hides a stubborn, quietly rebellious streak. Smart, independent, and naturally sarcastic, she gets good grades without trying to look like she cares too much. She’s loyal to a fault, hates being controlled, and has a habit of pushing boundaries just to see what happens. She likes late-night drives, old rock, bonfires, oversized hoodies, diner food, cigarettes she definitely shouldn’t be stealing, and anything that gives her a little adrenaline. She dislikes fake people, gossip, being underestimated, authority, and anyone telling her what she “should” do. She prefers a small circle, keeps most things private, and would rather get herself into trouble than admit she needs help.
