Oh, I've taken a few liberties with the other characters, so if anyone sees anything I should change, let me know!

Acacia Hawthorne
"Um, who? Pftt. Kidding, of course. I'm pretty sure everyone in this school knows Acacia. She's really amazing, you know? I feel like she can understand me really well, and I like not having to worry about which side of me to show her."
It's no secret that Wren looks up to Acacia. She's like the older sister she never had, and if Wren's ever feeling completely overwhelmed, she's the person she likes to talk to. Years of performance has given Wren a good grasp of body language and subtle facial expressions, so she's one of the few that notice the little hints of sadness glinting in the older girl's eyes. She doesn't know what's bothering her, but Wren is always ready to lend an ear.
Lili Lafontaine
"We haven't formally met, but I've heard a lot of things about her. I know gossip when I hear one, though, so I don't believe what they're saying about her."
Wren knows about the Lafontaine family, but not so much about the artistic Lili. There always seems to be some sort of rumor regarding her circulating around school, but Wren knows from experience never to take those at face value.
Jacob Rockwell
"Ah! Potential tutor #1. He's sort of hard to get in contact with, and even harder to get to know, but I found out he likes video games, so maybe we can bond over that? I haven't been playing in a while, so I can even ask him about what good games to get."
In her search for a tutor—her father is persistent about her finding one, soon—she scrapped up a list of potential candidates and Jacob is one of the top names on it. She doesn't know much about him, though. Except that he's a Gifted, so definitely smart, and a member of the JROTC.
Roman Zelenka
"Mr. Linguist! I thought he was a Gifted when I heard about him, but I guess not. I've been trying to get to know him, though. I could go to him for advice if I ever need to speak in a different language for a role."
Wren's still a little confused with the established social hierarchy in Caelbury, or at least about how the Commoners are drafted, and she wonders whether one could be promoted or demoted. She thinks Roman could definitely be promoted to Gifted, but only after he gets a good kick on the behind. Wasting talents and potential is a big no-no for Wren.
Vladimir Kalkovich
"Potential tutor #2, the Human Calculator! He's good company to have, and I like listening to him play music. He's a good go-to person when you're feeling down."
Wren can get along with Vladimir really well. His happy-go-lucky nature is infectious, and she has a lot of fun when he's around. She has to admit, though, she's weak against his teasing habit. Wren swears she knows he's teasing, but she always gets flustered anyway.
Rayne McCutcheon
"Mom and Dad are friends with her dad. I've known her since I was little, but after Aunt Eva passed away and Uncle remarried, I started seeing her less and less. Anyway, I see she's still as smart as always but I don't remember her being so rebellious."
As their parents both work in the entertainment industry, they've crossed path often. Wren's father goes to Rayne's father's company when he has a musical in the works. Wren got to know Rayne because they were around the same age, and she remembered being amazed at how brilliant she had been. She hasn't heard much from her after her mother's untimely death, though, so Wren can only assume she took it hard. At the very least, she knows that she doesn't like her stepmother at all. Wren didn't particularly like her either.
James McNamara
"Ah, crap. This guy and his pretty-freaking-face and his charming everything. People assume I'm promiscuous because I look like this and I'm an actress, but I totally don't know how to handle real, not-showbiz guys. Especially musical prodigies that practically ooze charm."
Wren, who likes being in control, absolutely hates it when she's reduced to a giddy excuse of a girl. She never knows how to act around James when he turns on the charm. If she's not turning beet red at his obviously offhanded compliment, then she's pathetically trying not to swoon. Wren honestly doesn't know what's wrong with her, but she swears she'll get over this soon.
Nate Dixon
"Bow down to the tech god. I had to play a tech genius for this movie last year, and I bothered him nonstop so I could study him. The guy could be a real life Tony Stark, and I'll be the first on in line for his Iron Man suits."
Wren and Nate are in the same grade, so they have a lot of classes together. As she mentioned, she pestered him nonstop during their freshman year so she could be get into the role. She felt bad after because he was so nice, it was like she was taking advantage of his kindness. So to compensate, she promised to get him whatever computer parts he wanted.
