Infinity Train - Characters & Cast

Character Analysis

Tulip Olsen

Ashley Johnson

Archetype: The Analytical Hero
Key Trait: Pragmatic Intellectualism

Motivation

Originally driven by a desperate need to reach game design camp, her motivation shifts to restoring the train's order and helping her companions, Atticus and One-One.

Character Arc

Initially a logical but self-absorbed teen fleeing her parents' divorce, Tulip learns to embrace emotional uncertainty. She moves from trying to "solve" the train like a game to understanding it as a journey of empathy.

MT / Lake

Ashley Johnson

Archetype: The Rebel / Existentialist
Key Trait: Fierce Independence

Motivation

Her primary drive is survival and freedom from the Reflection Police (Flecs) and the train's deterministic rules.

Character Arc

A reflection who gains sentience and escapes the Mirror World. Her arc is a harrowing struggle for recognition as a person rather than a reflection, eventually renaming herself Lake to cement her autonomy.

One-One

Jeremy Crutchley (Glad) / Owen Dennis (Sad)

Archetype: The Fragmented Mentor
Key Trait: Bipolar Logic

Motivation

Initially searching for his "mother," his motivation becomes the efficient maintenance of the train's therapeutic mission.

Character Arc

A robot split into two personalities (Glad-One and Sad-One) representing optimism and nihilism. He eventually regains his position as the Conductor, becoming a more stable but still emotionally detached guardian of the train.

Grace Monroe

Kirby Howell-Baptiste

Archetype: The Fallen Leader / Antihero
Key Trait: Performative Charisma

Motivation

Starts with a desire for power and validation, which evolves into a humble effort to undo her mistakes and protect the children she misled.

Character Arc

The charismatic leader of a cult (The Apex) that believes high numbers are a sign of divinity. Her arc is one of radical deconstruction as she realizes the harm she has caused and begins the grueling process of true redemption.

Simon Laurent

Kyle McCarley

Archetype: The Tragic Antagonist
Key Trait: Intellectual Rigidity

Motivation

Driven by a crippling fear of abandonment and a need for absolute control over his reality, leading him to reject any truth that challenges his ego.

Character Arc

A former companion of Grace who falls into a downward spiral of denial. Unlike other characters, Simon refuses to change, becoming more murderous and delusional until his trauma completely consumes him.
