I chose 'it's complicated' for character diversity, because while the cast is mostly white, the MC has some traits that make me feel she *could* be coded autistic or neurodivergent in some way? (Scripting based on fictional characters, planning scenarios and being at a loss when she doesn't have a script, socially mimicking others/trying to mask, being told she's too sensitive her whole life and carrying deep shame around who she is, not having any friends or social relationships, impatience and anger outbursts). Other aspects of diversity would be a wide scope of ages and the male MC has childhood trauma that causes intense flashbacks and dissociation from reality.
