Olivia: Independent and determined to mourn in peace, until Cesario unexpectedly changes her plans.
Sebastian: Shipwrecked and bewildered to discover that complete strangers in Illyria seem to recognise him.
Malvolio: Serious, ambitious and convinced that a mysterious letter might offer him a rather impressive promotion.
