Characters
Cora
Ezra
Cora is one of the two main characters featured in EROS. At the beginning of the short, Cora gets dumped by her high school sweetheart whom she has been dating throughout her 4 years of high school. She is a writer and she uses that as an outlet for her emotions, especially in the situation she now faces. She has a kind heart, and never means to intentionally hurt anyone, but she can sometimes neglect those around her (like her friends) in times of stress.
Ezra is the other main character featured in EROS. At the beginning of the short he is dumped by his girlfriend of 1 year. Although only dating for a short amount of time compared to Cora's relationship, he considered his relationship to be very serious. Ezra is most recognizable for his hard exterior. To the outside world he makes it seem as if he doesn't have a care in the world, but on the inside he really is an emotional guy who cares a lot about the people around him.
