Desperate for respect, a young magician joins a criminal gang and becomes drunk on her newfound power. But when she must decide between everything she wants and everything she used to be, will she let the past die, or will she reject her new life?

We give a lot of attention to our main characters, but what about the cast that surrounds them? In this episode, we discuss how to create three-dimensional, interesting secondary characters.
