Nathaniel
"Nate" Ashborne
Age: 21
Hgt: 5-11
Eyes: Gray

Main character.
"Treading Ground" is a metaphor for Nate's life at this point in
time. Stuck in a shitty job with no future to speak of and
fumbling around aimlessly in matters of life and love, Nate lacks
direction and perceives bullshit encroaching all around him.

A high school girl with an attraction to Nate, who can't legally
reciprocate those feelings due to the age difference.
Rose has a reputation for basically being a little slut, but according
to her, it's only partially deserved. She also enjoys movies, and
has demonstrated that she is rather intelligent, despite her
extracurricular activities.
She and Nate have had a few interesting encounters. While there is
obviously still attraction between the two, they are currently
pursuing a friendship, at least until Rose turns 18.
