Meet the cast

Cheo

Chupacabra · Aries · Fire sign

Fearless, bouncy, impulsive. Adventure first, questions never.

Duri

Dokkaebi · Gemini · Air sign

Playful, chatty, restless. Tricks you out of your money, then uses it to buy you lunch.

Nefi

Mummy · Taurus · Earth sign

Chill, steady, well-wrapped. Queen of cozy, devoted to fresh linens and slow mornings.

Dusty

Moth Madame · Cancer · Water sign

Lucky, loyal, big-hearted. Gives everyone the creeps but leaves the porch light on for strays.

Kasumi

Kitsune · Scorpio · Water sign

Quiet, watchful, sly. Nine tails, no small talk, always one step ahead.

Sacha

Vampire · Aquarius · Air sign

Aloof, unbothered, cryptic. Four hundred years old and still hasn’t had to try.

Yvette

Yeti · Libra · Air sign

Glitzy, charming, dramatic. All the glamour of the Himalayas, none of the hiking.

Hattie

Jackalope · Capricorn · Earth sign

Ornery, scrappy, stubborn. Small, antlered, and absolutely going to start something.

Sirena

Siren · Sagittarius · Fire sign

Loud, wild, lucky. Every shipwreck is somehow someone else’s fault.

Billy Bog

Bunyip · Pisces · Water sign

Gloomy, pouty, soggy. Thrilled to be invited, certain he’ll ruin it.

Angus

Minotaur · Virgo · Earth sign

Bookish, anxious, organized. Grew up in a labyrinth, now only trusts a clearly labeled shelf.

Maddie

Medusa · Leo · Fire sign

Silly, sunny, show-off. Her snakes are the hype crew. Every entrance gets a round of applause.
