Meet the characters from In the Dark

Murphy Mason

Murphy is this brilliant, stubborn hurricane of a woman who never sits still for wrongs — like, ever. She’s fiercely loyal, sharp-tongued, brilliant at finding things and also at accidentally making everything ten times more complicated, which is honestly her charm. Loves sarcasm, hates being underestimated, and will absolutely insist she’s fine while quietly planning five contingency plans. Also, she has this weird habit of talking to her dog like a stern roommate, and sometimes you catch her humming to calm down, which is both adorable and terrifying.

Dean

Dean is the solid, quietly heroic type with a soft spot that keeps popping out at the worst possible moments (in the best way). He’s dependable, practical, and the kind of guy who can fix a thing and also knows when to sit in silence — but also, he can blur into being frustratingly stoic sometimes, which drives people nuts. Protective as all get-out but not overbearing; thoughtful and kind of a surprise planner even though he pretends he isn’t. Oh and he drinks coffee like it’s oxygen; no, really, he’s probably on his third cup right now.

Jess

Jess is the warm, earnest friend who beams optimism even when things are falling apart — sometimes annoying, often necessary. She’s nurturing, loyal, always trying to keep the peace, but don’t mistake her kindness for weakness; she can be stubborn in a very soft way. She’s the person who’ll bring casseroles, sticky notes, and weirdly specific pep talks, and then forget where she left her keys. Also, she’s unexpectedly snarky at midnight, which I love.

Felix

Felix is chaos in a charming hoodie — witty, unpredictable, and somehow both deeply loyal and delightfully unreliable. He’ll crack a joke in a tense moment and then surprise you with an unbelievably thoughtful move like he planned it all along, or didn’t, I’m never sure. He fidgets, he plans, he’s allergic to small talk but somehow a master at it when needed; also collects tiny useless gadgets he calls “research tools.” Totally dramatic, might be overdramatic, but in a lovable way.

Max Parish

Max is the earnest moral compass with a quiet intensity that sneaks up on you; he’s principled, a little anxious, and stubbornly optimistic. He tries so hard to do the right thing and sometimes ends up tangled in his own sense of responsibility, which is heartbreaking and admirable. He’s good with rules but not rigid — like he’ll argue about them passionately, then cry over a stray animal five minutes later. Also has this odd habit of talking to his plants like they’re witnesses to crimes, which is surprisingly soothing.

Darnell James

Darnell is the goofy, big-hearted friend who’s equal parts comic relief and unexpectedly deep support system. He’s kind, goofy, and often the person who lightens the mood with the worst puns — but then he’ll hit you with some painfully honest insight and you’ll remember why you love him. Protective in a way that’s not flashy but steady, and somehow he’s always there when it counts, even if he’s late. Also, he has a weird talent for microwave cuisine that somehow works, don’t ask me how.

Nia Bailey

Nia is the cool, determined detective type with a razor-sharp mind and a will of steel — she will stare down bureaucracy and win. She’s professional, smart, and doesn’t let nonsense slide; also very human, with flashes of vulnerability that make her unexpectedly relatable. She balances logic and empathy, and you can tell she carries the weight of responsibility like it’s a heavy coat she refuses to take off. And yes, she drinks tea like it’s strategy fuel; very specific mugs, always.

Chloe

Chloe is the sweet, prickly heart of the group — empathetic, loyal, and quietly brave in ways that sneak up on you. She worries a lot, which is kind of adorable, but when push comes to shove she stands firm and surprises everyone with how fierce she can be. She’s the friend who remembers birthdays and also keeps receipts for emotional support; also, her laugh is tiny but lethal in cheering people up. Sometimes she’s indecisive, sometimes unshakable, and both at once, which is peak Chloe.

Joy

Joy is the unfiltered wild card with a soft core and a loud laugh; she’s intense, impulsive, and somehow always honest to a fault. She does things in the moment — sometimes brilliant, sometimes questionable — and you can’t help but admire the courage it takes to be that raw. She cares fiercely and has a knack for getting intensely involved, then silently freaking out later, which is kind of the best. Also, she has a collection of weirdly specific keychains that no one asked for but everyone secretly loves.

Pretzel

Pretzel is the adorable chaos puppy of a character — lovable, goofy, endlessly optimistic, and often the emotional glue. He’s a bit scatterbrained, says the wrong thing and then apologizes in the most earnest way possible, but somehow his heart is exactly where it needs to be. He brings levity when things get dark and also surprises people with moments of uncanny insight, like a wise cartoon sidekick. Oh, and he steals snacks when you’re not looking; it’s a hobby.
