    Emily Hart

    American Sweetheart

    Protagonist · MAGA Coordinator

    Not the best shot — the one who makes people believe America isn't dead.

    They can take our flag, but they cannot take what it meant.

  • Walter "Old Bell" Crane

    Walter "Old Bell" Crane

    MAGA Deputy · Voice of America

    He fixes Soviet radios — and broadcasts America's soul at 3:17 AM.

    Seventy-three years old, forty at Voice of America — then underground after Jack died. He keeps five shortwave relay chains alive and Emily's 3:17 AM broadcast on the air. She sets direction; he makes the signal real.

    Weak signal isn't the problem. The problem is they think silence means we're gone.

  • Marcus "Ghost" Delaney

    Marcus "Ghost" Delaney

    1776 Company · Armed Operations

    Vanishes under Soviet patrols — slams his gun on the table when someone suggests hitting collaborators' families.

    Detroit SWAT veteran who survived the 'Detroit Three Days.' Leads the 1776 Company — America's most militarized cell. Failed the 1994 Blue House raid; twelve dead, burn scar on his face. Obeys Emily as spiritual leader, argues with her monthly about speed, collaborators, and Revenge Fire.

    Sweetheart, you make them believe America's still here. I make the Soviets believe America's still shooting.

  • Anna Petrova

    Anna Petrova

    KGB Archivist · MAGA Mole

    Photocopies the next sweep list from the archive — still can't say if she's fighting for America, revenge, or proving her mother chose the wrong side.

    Second-generation Soviet-American; father is a occupation official, mother died in the Blue House in 1993. KGB archivist by day, MAGA mole by confession box — single line to Emily, every two months. Calm under pressure; Emily trusts her with reservations.

    You told me not to trust reformists. I never did. I only trust that you're still worth the risk.

  • Lucy "Little Liberty"

    Lucy "Little Liberty"

    Protected Child · Next Generation

    Grew up under Soviet education — still asks what the Liberty Bell sounds like.

    Parents taken in the 1994 sweeps — she hid in a vent for three days before the network found her. Ten now, schooled by the occupation but raised underground. Emily's protected hope for the next generation.

    I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm afraid of pale-blue walls.

  • Viktor Strlanov

    Viktor Strlanov

    KGB Colonel · Antagonist

    Executed Jack. Wants Emily alive — kneeling on every screen.

    Colonel of internal security; commanded the 1993 raid that killed Jack Hart. Four years hunting Emily — not to execute her, but to put American Sweetheart on trial, live, for the world to watch.

    We don't need to kill another America. We need an America that says the USSR is right — on camera.

  • Eva Mlynko

    Eva Mlynko

    Blue House Witness · Medic

    Escaped the Blue House — her first words weren't 'help me,' but two numbers: HD-4471, HD-4472. They're dead.

    Former nurse inside Pittsburgh Blue House No. 3. Confirmed Margaret and Lily Hart's deaths to Emily in 1993, then hand-drew floor plans, guard shifts, and vent routes. Hides in MAGA's medical network now — PTSD, trembling hands, steady only when holding instruments.

    4471 and 4472. I remember the numbers because the names were taken. I'm giving the names back to you.

  • Ray "Ash" Kowalski

    Ray "Ash" Kowalski

    Revenge Fire · Radical Faction

    Lost his wife and daughter — wants every pale-blue wall burned. Emily says that burns innocents inside. He says: burn the ones outside first.

    Polish-American factory worker who founded Revenge Fire after 1993. Targets Blue House staff, draft militia, known abusers — and collaborators' families. Feeds Emily intel in private, calls her soft in public. Left arm tattooed with July 4, 1993 and Pamiętaj — remember.

    Sweetheart, you bake your pie. I burn my debts. Don't pretend we owe the same thing.
