Marcus Sharpe
Aliana was supposedly Marcus's girlfriend, but further investigation into her murder case implies that the two of them hadn't been intimate for a long time, such as Marcus sleeping in her home's pool house. Despite their break-up, Marcus says they were still best friends. He tells you that his mother thought of Aliana like a long-lost daughter.

Before her murder, Marcus and Aliana had a large joint birthday party at her home with many guests.

Kayle McGuin
Kayle was one of Aliana's costars on the set of Varsity Murders. If you decide to go to the speakeasy with Kayle and Teddy, Kayle tells you that she had the sense that Aliana was getting obsessed about a new target. She doesn't believe Aliana was cheating on Marcus, but whenever Kayle would ask Ali to go out with them, Aliana would decline and give excuses.

Teddy Birch
Teddy was one of Aliana's costars on the set of Varsity Murders. When you visit the set, Kayle and Teddy mention that they thought she seemed on edge, but she didn't say why. If you decide to go to the speakeasy with Kayle and Teddy, they tell you that Aliana and Marcus used to be very sociable, throwing parties and planning nights out and Marcus would visit Aliana on set all the time. However, it had been months since the co-stars were last invited to do anything after work with them and even longer since they had seen Marcus.

They also say that Aliana had always been "intense", and had gone Method when she had first started on Varsity Murders, creating socials as her character and dressing like a high school student in her downtime. When she had something in her sights, Aliana became "relentless" and Kayle and Teddy both sensed she had found a new obsession.

Ted
Ted was Aliana's trainer. He discovered her body.

Unnamed Person
Marcus did not ask Aliana about her personal relationships after they broke up, but he remembers seeing a black SUV parked in front of Ali's home during many evenings. He figures Ali did not introduce him to who it was because she was trying to protect him and would tell him if it became serious. On the night of her murder, Marcus had seen the black SUV outside the main gate around 11pm.

Jackson Blackstone
Jackson Blackstone is Aliana's ex-boyfriend. He is a songwriter who writes personal details about his breakups in his songs. Before they officially broke up, he leaked nude photographs of Aliana to a gossip site.
