At the time of the first season, she is a recovering teenage drug addict who is fresh out of rehab and struggling to find her place in the world. Sarcastic and introverted, she serves as the narrator for the series. She lives with her mom and sister. Her dad died from cancer before the start of the series. She is best friends with Lexi, having known her since preschool. The plot of the first season mainly revolves around her relationship with Jules.

Alexis "Lexi" Howard played by Maude Apatow Lexi was born on January 11, 2001. She is Rue's childhood best friend, and Cassie's younger sister. She spends most of her teenage years in the shadow of her big sister, always feeling like an outsider and an observer of her own life. Determined to do more and to finally step into the spotlight, she creates a play in Season 2 and bases it on everything that has happened around her. At the same time, she grows closer to Fezco after discovering an unexpected compatibility, including some unusual, shared interests (such as the 1986 film Stand by Me). Fezco played by Angus Cloud Mason Shea Joyce (10 years old, "Trying to Get to Heaven Before They Close the Door") Fez is a local drug dealer with a close, sibling-like relationship with Rue. He was raised by his grandmother who is now disabled. He lives with Ashtray, whom he considers his business partner, and even though they do not appear to be related, he treats him like a brother.

She has a turbulent relationship with her family and was frequently emotionally and sometimes physically abused by Nate while they were together. Her biggest fear is ending up in a relationship like her parents' loveless one, so she often excuses Nate's acts of violence as proof of his passion for her. Despite her hotheadedness, she is kind and values her close friends, like Kat and BB, as well as Rue, Jules and Lexi. Cassie was once her best friend, before she betrayed her by having a secret fling with Nate in the second season. Nathaniel "Nate" Jacobs played by Jacob Elordi Gabriel Golub (11 years old, "Stuntin' Like My Daddy") Nate is a high school athlete whose anger issues mask his sexual insecurities.

He has an on-off and toxic relationship with Maddy during season 1, and he starts a secret relationship with Cassie, which damages the girls' friendship, in season 2.

II") Jules is a transgender girl who enters into a turbulent relationship with Rue after moving into town.
