ADULT DEJA (mid-20s to 30s), Woman, petite, quirky, very animated*

SMALL PRINCESS (under 10), small girl, instantly likable

LITTLE BROTHER (under 5), small boy, eyes full of terror, with a soul-piercing scream

SWEET GRANDMA (over 60), a sweet, but confused-looking woman*

ELDERLY DEJA (70s), Woman, precious with a cozy presence
