Adrian was born and raised in Maine. He is a recent graduate from the Harvard University School of Law. At the age of 22, he is one of the youngest to ever graduate from Harvard and pass the bar exam on his first sitting. Adrian is slender and fit, a nice looking man, but blends into the crowd. Outside the courtroom, he is quiet and keeps to himself. In court, he explodes with understated intelligence and argumentative fire. Adrian's desire to become a lawyer was nurtured only after a crippling incident as a young child. At seven-years-old, Adrian was kidnapped by a long-time neighbor and friend of his family. He was starved and locked in a basement crawlspace for nine days in complete darkness. Since being rescued, he has developed a severe case of Nyctophobia. A breath-stealing fear of the dark, Adrian does not like to be alone in the dark. "The Ticklers" come out of the darkness. The chanting of a comforting nursery rhyme his mother used to sing to him before bed is the only thing that make "The Ticklers" disappear. When his abductor went free, Adrian promised himself to become a ruthless prosecuting attorney; to fight injustice.

Character Description

Leisel is a 23-year-old African-American woman from Dallas, TX.  She is extremely high strung and neurotic.  Leisel also moved away to attend college.  She now works as a dental hygienist.  Leisel suffers from a terrible case of Sciophobia, the fear of shadows. Leisel's fear causes her to live and work in constant light - from all angles - so as not to cause a single shadow.  Her 2300-square-foot loft apartment is an open room with white walls, white flooring with lighting beneath, and windows and mirrors on all walls.  The furniture sits directly on the floor so that nothing can ever get beneath her, especially a shadow.  She is an extreme minimalist and has only the bare essentials in her home.  The lights are always on, day and night.  Her fear stems from when she wandered into the woods, at age eleven, while on a picnic with her family.  She would never be the same after that day.  She witnessed a brutal murder.  The murderer was shadowed by the trees and the streaming sunlight, which caused his form to be distorted and frightening to the young girl.  She was chased by this man, never to fully see him. The event has left her traumatized by anyone or anything that is shadowed.
