Lucretia Diana Medved (63) is the owner of a local bookstore, whom Adam often buys from. Lucretia married her ex-husband when she was 16, and promptly became a housewife. However, she was never happy in her marriage. She’d felt pressured into it, didn’t enjoy being a housewife, and didn’t feel anything for him. It took Lucretia twenty years to leave the marriage, and thirty more to find a name for what she was experiencing, when her niece, a queer activist, introduced her to the idea of aromanticism and asexuality. Since then, Lucretia has found solace in her identity, and has made it a personal mission of hers to make sure other young people don’t end up in the same position she did. She started her bookstore by herself (with the help of a large bank loan), in 1987, selling used, rare, antique, and local books, amongst others. She lives alone with her beloved cat Masha, who has recently had a litter of kittens.

Libby Sarah Chaim (16) is Hailey's best friend. She's a persian jew, and although she's not religious, she has a very strong national conscience. She is active in the Betar zionist youth group, and the (illegal) jewish defense league. she fiercely opposes jewish intermarriage with non-jews. She speaks with a light judeo-persian accent, both because it's the language she uses at home, and because she wants to make her identity and pride well known. She has a fierce militant jewish stance, which makes her have a few run-ins with the authorities. She also seems to be a bit of a tomboy, spending many hours running outside and working on her physique. Even so, she does enjoy makeup with Hailey, though she's not a big fan of american consumerism, preferring persian music and hebrew literature.

Shari Azaria Jackson (16) is a classmate of Libby's. Shari and Libby do not get along at all. Shari is a staunch leftist and an aspiring community organizer, often getting in trouble for arranging school walk-outs and community protests. Libby's militant ways and radical nationalism are in direct oppostion to Shari's beliefs, and they fight frequently. In the heat of the moment, she has been known to take things too far - including telling Shari her loyalty to the anti-Arab Jewish Defense League stemmed from her own internalized hatred of her Persian roots. Shari is on the speech and debate team, and she lives with her fathers in downtown Pittsburgh. One day, she'd like to work for the Southern Poverty Law Center.
