The Showoffs - Rebecca Cremi and Ben Chesterfield
Yes! Despite all evidence to the contrary, The Showoffs is comprised of more than Trisha, Jackie, and Rachel!
Rebecca Cremi; Despite being born to a pair of rich businessmen in France, Rebecca grew up on a diet of 80 action movies and jazz records. Even as a child, the mare idolized America for it's "vigorous spirit" and "over-the-top yet tongue-in-cheek style of the arts". It inspired her to live in a more "American" fashion. She began an intense workout routine to be strong like the country's action heroes. She took up the saxophone to emulate it's music legends. She even dyed her mane and tail blonde to resemble it's "beautiful and amazon women".
Soon enough, she was an adult and ready to make it on her own. Sparing no hesitation, she booked the first flight to the states. But despite all the excitement and joy arriving in America brought her, the reality was quick to set in: she had no clue how she was going to live here. There was only one solution to this.
"I shall utilize America's greatest invention; The Craigslist!"
Ben Chesterfield: Being a tabletop nerd is great when you're also an internet millionaire. Taking up the art of coding all the way back in middle school, Ben was a proverbial computer prodigy, making and refining websites left and right, eventually selling off his most popular creations to the highest bidders. By the time he finished high school, he'd made enough to live a long, cushy life, which is exactly what he had in mind. He was free to spend his days collecting new pewter figures, entire backlogs of comics, and toys from obscure animes, all without having to deal with the "annoying public".
For a while, it was paradise, but after all his friends went off to college, Ben realized that being alone wasn't all it was cracked up to be. But how was going to make friends now that school was no longer an option? Get a room mate, of course!
As his luck would have it, an admittedly tall and athletic mare was passing through his town, looking for a place to live. He was skeptical at first. After all, how could a swole mare like her possibly be interested in DnD and Star Trek?
To his surprise, she loved every second of it. To her, it was just more exposure to the vast and diverse arts of the US. Every game and episode was another opportunity to learn the country's customs and manners. With so much to bond over, the two were fast friends.
Eventually, the day came the pair decided to get ahead in life. Pooling their nearly endless funds, they left the cozy suburbs and headed straight for the heart of the city. It was here Rebecca revealed her dreams of playing in a jazz band, and just as her luck would have it, a budding group known as the Showoffs was taking auditions. She begged Ben to join her. Despite some mediocre skill with a flute, Ben wasn't very interested, but Rebecca seemed so happy that he couldn't say no.
With sax skills as good as hers, the mare was a shoe-in for the band. The rest of the band wasn't impressed with Ben, however, and despite it being a dream of hers, Rebecca refused to join without Ben. Reluctantly, they brought him on as the occasional flutist. He proceeded to half-ass some solos for the first few shows, nearly causing the band to kick him and Rebecca out.
Luckily, Rebecca brought up his coding talents, and the band was in serious need of a presence on social media. All were in favor of Ben doing behind-the-scenes work making their website and promoting them online. For Ben, it was a cakewalk. He'd shoot a few tweets, make some CDs, and be home in time for the next round of Overwatch.
As the band's popularity grew, Rebecca realized that keeping the band afloat while they were all living away from each other would be difficult. In her endless generosity, she bought out a condo right in the heart of the city for all the band members to live in. To this day, they all share the loft and even through an occasional party, not wanting to waste it's size.
Rebecca and Ben are as "Odd Couple" as they come. Rebecca's peppy, impossibly friendly, and happy to try just about anything at any given time. Ben is lazy, generally bitter, and vocally apathetic to anything he's not interested in. The balance of give-and-take in the relationship is heavily skewed in the rabbit's favor, but Rebecca clearly doesn't mind. Ben doing something as simple as offering to redbox the latest Marvel flick together can make her day more than anything.

He's not a bad guy, just sorta stuck in that moody teenager phase cause being rich allowed him to stagnate emotionally. He's one of those types that has enough genuinely sweet moments and times you can tell he's trying that you can forgive all the times he's insensitive.
Though he's also the type to take others' food out of the fridge without asking so it's a toss-up really.
