Taylor Hernandez

Taylor Hernandez is the daughter of Mariana Hernandez, and the twin sister of Tyler Hernandez. Her father, Ethan Hernandez, passed away when she was thirteen.

Even after her father's passing, Taylor is extremely sweet and gentle like she was when she was a kid. Her twin brother, Tyler, took care of the two of them when their mom was absent due to grief over the death of their father. Taylor feels like she has to repay Tyler for caring for her for all those years... but she doesn't know how to. Her mother is still emotionally absent and Tyler deals with anger issues and distancing himself ever since his dad died, leaving Taylor to be the glue and keep things together. Taylor and Tyler both have severe separation anxiety.

Present day, she is friends with Ashlyn Banner, Aiden Clark, Ben Clark, her twin brother Tyler, and Logan Fields after an overnight field trip. After the trip, the group started "shifting" to an alternate dimension filled with horrifying monsters called "phantoms" every night at exactly 12:00 am, and are stuck there for seven hours while no time passes in the real world. Injuries that occur in the alternate dimension don’t show up in the real world, but despite this the pain from them can still be felt. If someone “dies” in the alternate dimension, the force of it causes said person to have a stroke after shifting back. It seems that even if fatal injuries are sustained, the person does not die in the dimension.

Ashlyn Banner is a short girl with long, ginger hair in braids, green eyes, and freckles. She's on the lower end of the autism spectrum and is usually quiet, but she's smart and protective over her friends.

Aiden Clark has blonde hair, auburn colored eyes, and he likes to wear shirts and hoodies with smiley faces. He always has a smile on his face and is extremely energetic. He has ADHD and a past with depression.

Ben Clark is tall with brown hair and brown eyes. He is mute due to an injury to his vocal cords and communicates through ASL and writing. He is protective over his friends and a good listener. He is Aiden Clark's cousin and lives with Aiden and his parents.

Logan Fields has blonde hair and blue eyes and glasses, he is interested in Astrology and Gardening. He is frequently harassed by a teen named Barron. Logan is quiet, shy, and kind.

Tyler Hernandez is the twin of Taylor. He has brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin. He is abrasive, rude towards people he's not familiar with, and struggles with BPD and anger issues.
