First violin and the film's protagonist. Disciplined, controlled, quietly intense. Largest role: minimal dialogue, but heavy physical and musical performance demands. Ethnicity: Asian, Southeast Asian / Pacific Islander
Dani Eklund
Second violin. Grounded and principled — the one who refuses the hotel's prize. Ethnicity: White / European Descent
Irish Chen
Piano. The first character taken by the hotel; must read as gifted and promising early on. Ethnicity: Asian
Theo Nakamura
Cello. Sensitive, quieter presence; carries a paper crane as a personal motif and prop. Ethnicity: Asian
Sam Calloway
Viola. Easygoing and relaxed — a tonal counterweight to the group's mounting dread. Ethnicity: White / European Descent
Cole Mercer
Camera operator and outsider of the group — not a musician. Functions as the audience's surrogate; late in the film he's taken into the 'audience' rather than killed. Ethnicity: Black / African Descent
