Cast of Characters/Important People
- Starr Lester: Her father owns his own record label and clothing line while her mother, an ex-R&B diva, has a full time job making sure EVERYTHING about the life of her husband and three children are fabulous. Starr doesn’t feel close to her family because they hardly spend any real time together. In fact she feels more of a bond with their maid. She can be catty at times but usually she strikes out to defend herself from feeling hurt.
- Dionne Hunt: The daughter of a new recording artist, she’s an only child of unmarried parents. She lives with her mother but she enjoys the advantages of her father’s wealth—or at least the appearances of his wealth. He does not have the money of the other parents at the academy. He is strapped for cash and spending more than he is making. Her mother and father usually have knock down arguments about money but all three keep the secret of his financial troubles. Dionne’s new to the academy. Being very new from her life in the hood, Dionne is definitely the tough one of the group.
- Marisol Rivera: Her father is a famous NY baseball player with a reputation as a ladies’ man—only problem is he’s supposed to be happily married to her mom. Groupies have made her family life hell and she holds the weight on her own shoulders to save her parent’s marriage. Definitely the nicest of the girls, she almost purposefully disdains the trappings of wealth because she blames it for her father’s philandering.
