Maddy is the older, more successful and established of the two children in the Meyers Family. Unlike her sister has been the ‘pride of the family’ and has enjoyed a solid relationship with both her mother and father separately. She is smart, emotional, and tender, yet is able to speak to Tina in a way that gets through to her.

Aimee is Tina’s lover who lives with her in their rundown apartment in the city. She is just as taken by the need for heroin as Tina, to the point where to articulate is a struggle on bad days. However, she is deeply in love with Tina and sees her as the girl she had always wanted to be seen as, regardless of her habits.
