Rhodes

he/they - mid 20s

Rhodes is the producer and manager for Cherry's news show. When not wrangling the chaotic star, he can be found cleaning up the aftermath of some publicity stunt gone wrong. Those working under the high-strung spinx describe them as a workaholic, stuck between meeting Cherry's unrealistic demands and organizing the crew to follow through. Industry veterans admire their tenacity and skill while new hires are often terrified of the loud, yelling cat.

Cherry jokes that they'll die young due to all the stress built up, and Rhodes throttles them in response.

Ife, a co-worker and childhood friend, is one of the few nephians that can get him to relax. Despite yelling at them almost as much as Cherry, Rhodes appreciates their old friend. It's been a bit of a shock seeing Ife's new personality, however; and Rhodes doesn't know how to respond to their flirtations.

The strangest thing is the new feelings of jealousy when he sees Ife flirting with others.
