Gesa
Adlini Ilma Ghaisany Sjah, or Gesa, has the attention span of a sack of
potatoes. She relieves her frequent boredom by playing bumper chairs,
chucking stuff at people, and tripping over clowns on stilts. The reason for
this is because she diverts all her brainpower (and she has a lot of it) to
debating. And yes, we see this as the silver lining to a very, very dark cloud.
Dwinta
Anak Agung Sagung Dwinta Kuntaladara—“Dwinta” by her friends—hails from
the Island of the Gods, Bali. Being true to her first speaker’s nature, Dwinta, a
devout vegetarian, always needs quite an extensive amount of time to layout
an opening to ANY story she is about to tell. But just hang in there; the story
will be interesting, well… umm… most of the time that is.
Mita
Aria Danaparamita, a.k.a. Mita, hopes that one day the backwater town she
comes from becomes a world famous destination. Her biggest dream is to
become a Starbucks barista so she can get free coffee. Unfortunately, her
inability to drop the tone of the end of her sentence and her tendency to use
the word ‘like’ excessively stand as quite considerable obstacles to this
aspiration of hers. “Like… you want like… coffee?”
Chris
Christian Leonardo has three main ambitions in life: own a Lamborghini, get
married with whomever, and die in peace. We, on the other hand, are
completely sure that he has a forth secret ambition in mind: perfect hair. That
is why he is the one with the biggest hairspray can in the team. No, wait,
