Millie is 17 years old and she's very unhappy and depressed most of the time. She's Toby's only real friend. She's very introverted as a result of her dysfunctional family and the abuse her and Toby have had to endure. In the story, Millie's untimely death haunts Toby in terrible ways, where he sometimes hallucinates an evil version of her.
(Millie sees Toby has been injured by their stepdad)
*Distraught/angry*
"Oh my god! Toby...what did you do, you bastard?!?"
(This is a line from a flashback scene wherein Toby and Millie are playing video games)

"You wish! Just don't get TOO upset when I beat you!"
(This line is from a nightmare scene in which Millie is a ghost haunting Toby)

Evelyn is in her early 40s and not entirely right in the head. She stands by her abusive husband because of an internal fear of being alone. She puts on an upbeat facade, pretending everything is fine, while simultaneously being kind of empty inside. She doesn't really go out of her way to stop the abuse that happens in her wake. Evelyn is not a good mother. Her character is very similar to Arthur Fleck's mother in Todd Phillips' Joker movie.
(In this scene, Evelyn is introducing her new boyfriend Frank to her kids. The scene's general tone is lighthearted)
*Happy/excited*
"Oh, it was wonderful, son! I'm actually going back out with Frank, but I wanted to introduce you to him first. Is that alright?"
(In this scene, Evelyn is drunk and arguing with her son. She blames him for Frank's absence and Lyra's death.)
*Resentful/Drunk/Emotionally unstable*
"I never wanted to be YOUR mother. I had my daughter, then I... (Stops herself) then YOU came and ruined everything."
(In this scene, Toby has learned of a terrible secret Evelyn has kept from him throughout the story. This is a horrifying moment in the audio drama)
*Frantic/Scared/Guilty*
"Son...I...we did something monstrous. Your father and I. I don’t know if there was another option or not...I didn’t...I didn’t want this. I’ll, I’ll make it right, Toby...I’ll tell the authorities. Right now."
