MARLA MOIR
REBECCA WANG • Guillermo del Toro’s Tales of Arcadia | Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous | Blue Eye Samurai (Netflix) | Steps (Netflix)
Marla is the protagonist of The Heirloom, a 16-year-old teenage girl and the eldest daughter of the Moir family. She is sarcastic, stubborn, and determined. Her favorite pastime is writing little horror stories in her notebook, which she uses to scare her younger brother, Jack, when he greatly annoys her. Despite her sometimes seemingly selfish and harmful behavior, is it truly so?
JACK MOIR
REBECCA WANG • Guillermo del Toro’s Tales of Arcadia | Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous | Blue Eye Samurai (Netflix) | Steps (Netflix)
Jack is a loyal companion and an expert in every field, as well as Marla’s 10-year-old younger brother. He is still very young but highly inquisitive and intelligent, which makes him doubly a thorn in Marla’s side. Whether it's rocks, plants, or all sorts of insects, Jack is right there.
MORVIN MOIR
ANDY MACK • Evil West | Dying Light 2 | Foolish Mortals | Postal 4
Morvin is the sole living relative who agreed to take custody of his two orphaned grandchildren. He is a reclusive, grumpy, and rather peculiar old man who conceals something terrifying within the walls of his house. It appears that the only things to which he is even remotely loyal are chocolate chip biscuits and scary black birds with red eyes, which seem to be exceedingly unfriendly to everyone except him.
