A lean, athletic Caucasian male teen with short, slightly messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes. He has a determined expression often tinged with anxiety.

His mountain bike is a robust, dark green model.

Jay

A serious and decisive Black male teen with a strong build. He has short, curly black hair partially covered by a backward-facing dark baseball cap. His dark eyes convey a sense of leadership. He wears a comfortable, slightly oversized green plaid shirt, a plain white t-shirt underneath, light brown cargo pants, and worn sneakers.

A brave and observant East Asian female teen with long, straight black hair tied into a practical ponytail. Her dark eyes are alert and expressive. She has a petite but agile build.
