Elsie Blue

Elsie is smart, sarcastic, spunky, and more than a tad bit cynical. She's in her early twenties, a college graduate, works in IT, and loves computers both inside and outside the office. She's not quite a geek... but not quite not a geek.

Genny Wilde

Genny is Elsie's best friend and room mate. Her bleached blonde hair is in constant need of retouching. She also works in a technical field... as a nail technician. She's a dingbat who likes to think she's smarter than she lets on. She's wrong.

Gavin

Gavin is Elsie's cousin. In some respects, he's so much like Elsie that Genny describes him as "creepy" and "undatable." But unlike geeky Elsie, Gavin was a champion jock during his younger years, and has never quite gotten past it.

Dell

Dell is a computer and video game freak. After the dot-com fallout, he realized it was more cost-effective to work in a video store and get free game rentals than work as a programmer and have to buy his own. Dell is also Gavin's room mate.

Keri

Keri is Elsie's teenage sister. Her sole purpose in life is getting her big sis in trouble with their mom. And boys. And shopping. And boys. And stealing Elsie's clothes. And boys. Not necessarily in that order.

Wanda

Wanda, one of Elsie's co-workers, is clingy, possessive, whiny, insecure... and can't figure out why that scares men away like the black plague. She's met her "soul mate" in an internet chat room, but never in real life.

Hoppy & Marcus

Elsie's co-workers, Hoppy and Marcus are the system administrators. Hoppy is an aspiring under-achiever, in his ever-present backwards baseball cap. Marcus is a total sci-fi geek, who will use any excuse to talk about space travel.

Spencer

Spencer is the neighbor's son. Elsie occassionally babysits the little tyke, who proves useful in his ability to scare off unwanted dates, and annoy Genny with his unfiltered, honest comments.

Jim

Jim is Elsie's long-distance, on-again-off-again, sort-of, boyfriend. He's currently serving overseas in the Armed Forces, and while they've agreed to see other people, Elsie is having a hard time finding someone who measures up.

Mom

Elsie and Keri's mother is "Every Mom." She's an over-protective worry-wart with one child, and too lenient with another. She's also very camera shy.
