Cindy-Anne-Marie Palmerston (Cindy/Sin)

Brought up by devout Believers, Cindy has led a sheltered life: until she finds herself in the wrong place at the wrong time and is sentenced to seven years' soft labour in an awful prison. Each hardship she suffers seems worse than the last, but she finds friendship in the notorious henhouse, finds strength in her dreams, and slowly, one day at a time, learns how to survive her ordeal.

Candice Barbara Tamara Turner (Candy)

Sassy, street-wise, and determined to serve her sentence and get out of DRZRC as quickly as possible, Candy makes sure everyone knows she's a bad-assed bitch that’ll cut your face open soon as talk to you. Exasperated when she finds she's sharing a cell with the naive, gullible Cindy, who she dubs 'Rich Bitch', she's not shy about letting her feelings be known. But, while Candy admits she's a career criminal, there's a lot more to her than meets the eye.

Ludovica Sofia Dilara Valentini (Luda)

The first person to befriend Cindy in prison, Luda has a sad story of her own to tell. One thing keeps her going more than anything else: one day, she will get out of here, and she will see her darling son, Luigi again. He's the reason she's here and, as far as she's concerned, he's worth it.

Nicolette Tanwen Jones (Nikki)

When Nikki arrives at DRZRC, the little Welsh rarebit is like a breath of fresh air with her philosophy of 'you gotta look on the bright side, don’t you?' But her cheerful optimism can't save Nikki from all the horrors the prisoners are subjected to.

Firebird

Her soft Irish lilt belies Firebird's vicious, cruel nature. Together with her henchwoman, Bluebottle, she seems determined to make Cindy's life a living hell.

She Wolf

When She Wolf led the tribe's warriors into battle in the cause of freedom and justice, she thought the people she left behind were safe. But tragedy strikes when something much darker than the revolutionary war visits her home. Setting out on a mission of vengeance, she finds some unlikely allies in her fight against an evil far greater than the Great White King Across the Water.

Colonel Nathaniel Turner (Nate)

Hunting for renegade deserters, Colonel Turner stumbles on the most incredible woman he's ever met. Shattering all his preconceptions about just about any subject you could name, he finds the so-called 'Indian Virgin Queen' as infuriating as she is intriguing, as fascinating as she is ferocious, as beautiful as she is beguiling: he doesn't know what to make of her.

Little Bird

Daughter of Sleeping Bear and Feathered Dove, Little Bird wants to prove she can be as good a warrior as her brothers. And she knows it's possible: the woman she looks up to more than any other person proves that.

Midnight Storm

The chief of the Joatani is the sworn enemy of She Wolf and her tribe. His evil cruelty knows no bounds and he will stop at nothing to achieve his aims.
