Cast
Main
Lumi Pollack as Posey Parker,[3] the lead vocalist and guitarist of Electric Bloom. Her full name is Posey Penelope Parker as revealed in the first episode "How It Started." Posey is a driven and disciplined student, who thrives on schedules and rules. She is also kind, obedient, and is at times prone to anxiety. Her wardrobe consists mostly of blouses and vests, skirts, Mary Janes, and ruffled socks. In the present day segment, Posey's hair is longer and partially pulled into a high ponytail.
Carmen Sanchez as Jade Castillo,[3] the Mexican-American keyboardist of Electric Bloom. Jade is rebellious and loud but kindhearted. In the episode "How We Found Howie," it is revealed that she lost her Abuelo Howie (nicknamed "Owie" as Jade didn't know all the Spanish words at the time) and was still hurting from it. Her wardrobe is very 90s inspired and tomboyish while sporting shoulder length wavy red hair. In the present day segment, Jade's red hair is long and perfectly straight and she goes more glamorous with makeup and lots of sparkles.

Most of her wardrobe is filled with color, patterns, and themes, usually with a subtle or overt nod to flowers while her black hair is either down or in two braids. In the present day segment, Tulip takes on a more typical Japanese look with baby pink space buns and bangs, eye gems, and flared jumper over an off-shoulder blouse.

The girls discover they are talented in music and bond quickly, and Posey is devastated when Shelly S. decides to ditch her to become popular with Shelly L. in the show.

Electric Bloom tells a story on their "Ask Us Anything" of how Tulip wrote her first song and how it almost destroyed the band. It all started when WNJC, a college radio station hosts a songwriting contest where finalists play their songs live on the air and Electric Bloom is interested in participating. The host DJ Kim explains that participants must submit an original song by Friday on a jump drive, to avoid hackers stealing songs. Tulip volunteers to write the song for the contest, but she is dealing with extreme writers block. Tulip takes a break and donates some of her clothes to the thrift store. While shopping, she bumps into Lucas Jasper who is shopping for a three week anniversary gift for Shelly Sharp. He is struggling finding a gift because he keeps imagining Shelly rejecting all of his gifts. Tulip grabs a coat and finds a poem in one of the pockets, which gave her inspiration for a melody. She sang the poem to the melody, hoping it would inspire her, but Posey and Jade walk in thinking Tulip actually wrote the song. Tulip tries to tell them that she got the lyrics from the coat's pocket, but they mistake it for getting the lyrics from her heart. Posey and Jade submit the song when Tulip walks away, but find her at the thrift store later where she admits that she didn't write the song. The girls go to the radio station to try and switch out their song, but DJ Kim doesn't let them. Later, the girls catch Shelly Sharp and Shelly LeBrock using A.I. to write their song in which they defend by saying A.I. is the future. Tulip shows Posey and Jade the cabinet full of lyrics she wrote and they like them and finish the song, which ultimately ended up being their hit song "Wolf Pack Energy." At the contest, Electric Bloom tries to sing their new version of the song and end up getting disqualified. Jade tricks Shelly Sharp into admitting which A.I. app she used to write her song which also gets the Two Shellys disqualified. A rapper named Lil' Howdy wins, but admits that he only won due to his father owning the radio station. Lucas Jasper talks to Electric Bloom after the contest and tells them how brave it was for them to withdraw their song. He didn't like that the Two Shellys didn't write their own lyrics, so he goes into a room with Shelly Sharp to talk to her.
