Role assigned to: LightWrites

CAPUCINE FORNIER  |  FEMALE  |  YOUNG ADULT  |  LEAD ROLE | (Optional French Accent)
She’s a cold character who rarely shows physical emotions, she has a hard time trying to convey her emotions and often denies her true feelings towards others. She is very responsible and doesn’t really depend on anyone because she always thinks she can handle everything herself, which backfires, because of her mindset thinking she doesn’t need help when she clearly does. 

DIRECTORS NOTES
Capucine sounds more monotone and soft spoken.  Her voice isn't very loud, even when yelling.


  • I have literally never seen or known you all my life. By the way, my name is Capucine, you idiot.

  • For your information, that’s how I work, I’m not someone who likes being around people all the time. Hell, this is probably the most I’ve talked to someone. SO excuse me, for not exactly being the best at people skills.

  • It’s okay, man. You don’t need to apologize so many times. I was born Canadian and even I don’t say sorry that much.

SLATE TAYLOR  |  MALE  |  YOUNG ADULT  |  LEAD ROLE


 He is an optimistic person but has a hard time finding substance or connection in anything (there are a few exceptions). He comes off cheerful at first glance, but he’s always having a hard time to actually be happy. He is very blunt and speaks out his own mind even though the things he can say are rude, but is sensitive towards the feelings of others and values the life of others and does whatever he can to help.




DIRECTORS NOTES

Slate has a youthful, bubbly voice.   









  • Isaac, we’ve known each other for years, what do you mean you don’t know me? I’m Slate, your best friend? Did you get amnesia or something?

  • My mom didn’t want to name me Blue since it was too generic, so she named me Slate instead since it was close to blue and it was a unique name.

  • It’s not a phase, mom! I’m just born this way!

ISAAC BRAGINTZKY  |  MALE  |  YOUNG ADULT  |  LEAD ROLE

Isaac is quiet, friendly, responsible, and conscientious.   He values tradition and does not adapt well to different situations.  He's very straightforward in speaking and in opinion, and seems to have a sense of aging behind his youthful eyes.  Although he's young, he is experienced and speaks with a sense of self worth.  Skeptical and independent, has high standards of competence and performance - for himself and others around him.












  • This girl you've been talking to. I want to know when I can meet her.

  • Break ups suck, I won't deny it. It's not the goodbye that hurts, it's the memory. Memories can never be forgotten with just a goodbye.

  • I have to admit, Slate, your art has gotten a lot better since our time together in grade school.

Role assigned to: irisdragon

PANDORA GATAKI  |  FEMALE  |  YOUNG ADULT  |  SUPPORTING ROLE
She is hateful of most people except for those who have actually been able to break her shell.  Pandora doesn't open up often, and prefers to take priority for herself over other people.  She prefers material possessions over real life connections, and often speaks down to those near her.


DIRECTORS NOTE
Pandora says a lot of things sarcastically and she laughs a lot.  Sounds a lot like a stereotypical goth teenager.  

  • I broke up with that loser for a reason. He's so insufferable. All he cares about is his work.

  • I didn't move back because I missed my family or my friends. I moved back because the job market is open. I don't care that my childhood friends are here.

  • Dude...that was so punk rock. You get a ten out of ten from me.

MISHA PETROV  |  MALE  |  YOUNG ADULT  |  SUPPORTING ROLE  |  RUSSIAN ACCENT

Misha is very laid back and flirtatious for those he finds impressive.  Not much is known about him, but he values family and friendship over himself.  Like Isaac, he seems to hold age and experience despite his young age.  

DIRECTORS NOTE
Misha must have a Russian accent.

  • Muay Thai? Why is a delicate flower like you practicing such a dangerous sport?

  • I was only joking, see? You work your craft very well.

  • I understand what you mean very well. Some people weren't meant to be, and it's something that comes as a part of life. All you can do is be there for your friends, no?

Mrs. Brown

MRS. BROWN  |  FEMALE  |  SENIOR  |  MINOR ROLE

She is warm and kind, reminding the main character Capucine a lot of "hot chocolate".  When need be, she is stern, but none of her employees have seen that side of her.  She treats all of her workers as children, especially Capucine.

DIRECTORS NOTE
Must sound like an old woman!

  • Capucine, you better be careful now, it’s really wet and slippery outside, it’s been raining for days and the last I want is for my employees to get sick in the busiest time of the season


  • But you still have to be cautious in the streets, there’s been a lot of accidents lately.

  • Mon cher, are you sure this is what you want? To move to another country so suddenly...it could put a strain on your beauty.

Role assigned to: crazydaiyamondos

KAE TAYLOR  |  FEMALE  |  ADULT  |  MINOR ROLE

Kae is responsible and adult like, but balances humor and fun.  She had a child in highschool, and is working through becoming a chef, so she is tired a lot of the time, often reflecting into her voice.

DIRECTORS NOTE
Has a motherly voice.  Sounds tired a lot, but not all the time.

  • Dear...I know it's hard. I went through something very similar when I was in high school. My best friend Heather stole my boyfriend at the time. I was heart broken. But soon...she was left in pieces after he left.

  • He loves your friendship. He talks about you all the time to my daughter.

  •  Friendships are more important than relationships. It's something you learn after going through so many.
