CHARACTERS:
SPARKLE, female, age 14-20; a teenager; an old soul in a young body, bright and ingenuous, preferably with outstanding dance and acrobatic abilities.
MAYA, female, age 30-40; (the Earth); in her thirties: a robust and soulful woman with unassuming power and a great capacity for love and devotion.

AVA, female, age 25-35; (every-woman); in her mid-twenties to early thirties, average height and weight. Her nature is warm, tender, loving and eager to express itself.

TAR, male, age 25-35; (every-man); in his mid-twenties to early thirties, average height and weight. He transforms from an innocent youth; full of curiosity and compassionate heart, into a demanding and power seeking man. In spite of this, he retains an endearing sympathetic charm.

MERCURY, male, age 20-30; in his twenties: emotionally naive, but amiable, inquisitive and intellectually sharp.
VENUS, female, age 30-50; a luscious beauty, oozing sensuality and femininity, with a loving gentility; a kind of mature innocence, but sometimes seeming not too bright.
MARS, male, age 30-50; a macho man with exaggerated self-confidence and limited mental capacity, powerfully built and reactive. He could be in his thirties or older.
JUPITER, male, age 50-60; in his fifties or older, with a rotund body: jovial, flamboyant and prone to over-indulgence; with great rhetorical skills.
SATURN, male, age 40-55; controlled and controlling, self-aggrandizing and fastidious. He can be in his forties or older.
URANUS, male, age 35-55; in his forties or older, rational, logical, pragmatic and self-involved; a bit of a mad scientist.
NEPTUNE, female, age 60-80; an older mature woman: gaunt, imposing, and dignified, with an eccentric manner and flowing articulate speech.
PLUTO, male, age 30-45; in his thirties or older: tall and lean or short and wiry. He is eloquently silver tongued with an understated, immovable sense of confidence and power.
