GOAT

Florence "Flo" Everson *("GOAT. Dream Big") is an anthropomorphic warthog, the owner of the Thorns team.

-* Appearance : height 164, strong, stately (47 years old), with a confident posture; dark gray skin with characteristic growths, noticeable fangs, neat ears and expressive brown eyes. Usually in a business style: a green pantsuit, a red badge sash around the neck, high-heeled shoes, laconic gold jewelry. Hairstyle - blonde hair gathered in a sleek bun; makeup is discreet but bright (pink lipstick, clear arrows). On camera, she always looks like she is in control of not only the game, but the whole world around her.
- Character : strong-willed, pragmatic, straightforward; She can be charming when it suits her, but she doesn't tolerate empty fuss or empty promises. On the one hand, she's fiercely results- and profit-oriented, but on the other, she's deeply attached to the team and doesn't want to lose what she's spent years building. She can wield authority, but she's also willing to listen when the arguments are sound.
- History : She spent years developing the "Spikes," turning them from underdogs into a recognizable brand. When the "Spikes" hit a prolonged losing streak, Flo faces a choice: either salvage their reputation and money, or give the team another chance. She's the one who approves the risky decision to bring Will on board—not so much out of faith in him, but rather in anticipation of the "novelty effect" and media buzz. Over the course of the film, her pragmatism collides with the players' genuine loyalty: she sees the team changing and gradually begins to value not just the numbers, but the spirit of the "Spikes." At the climax, her business ambitions almost destroy Will's dreams, but in the end she makes a choice in favor of the team - and thereby regains the respect of the players and her own self-respect.

Dennis Cooper *("GOAT. Dream Big") is an anthropomorphic proboscis monkey and the coach of the Thorns.

- Personality : demanding, but fatherly caring; combines the toughness of a veteran with an inner insecurity, which he hides behind energetic motivational speeches. Obsessed with tactics: he breaks down every situation into game plans. He's quick-tempered during moments of failure, but quickly composes himself and, instead of reproaching, offers a clear plan for improvement. He sees potential where others see only flaws—it was he who spotted something special in Will.
- History : He's been coaching the Thorns for many years, knows the league from the inside, and understands that the team is teetering on the brink of failure. Under pressure from owner Florence, he urgently needs to strengthen the roster—and decides to take a risky step: he recruits Will, even though everyone around him considers it a mistake. Throughout the film, he organizes "hellish training sessions" for the team with unconventional tasks (like passes under streams of water or exercises with distractions) in order to forge a real team from disparate stars. In the final, when key players are eliminated, it is his tactical acumen and willingness to trust the unconventional solutions of Will and Jett that enable the Thorns to win the championship match.
