ARTISTS AND BUILDERS ARE NEEDED MOST!!
This series is mainly a silly play on your typical Shojo romance. It's mostly light-hearted, so I encourage improving your lines and such!!
Plot:
Taking place in Brewston, a small town in the deep south, the story follows Ruby, a young girl in her senior year of high school. For years, she's been pining over her “rival”, Amber, who rivals her test grades. They've been in an all-out grade war, each trying to get better scores than the other. With the end of high school approaching, Ruby is determined to finally ask Amber on a date. However, she keeps getting interrupted. Her biggest obstacles? The two most popular guys in school are both trying to date her, despite both being very awkward with their feelings. As Ruby stumbles through her own feelings and issues, she encounters problem after problem. However, she's absolutely determined to ask her rival out. How could this ever end badly?
We need video editors and blockbuster animators! Please please please do share!!
We need a VA for our main character, Ruby! For anyone who hasn't gotten a role yet, you can apply!
Hello everyone! Just a smaller update, we need builders for the project. If you know anyone, please ask them to apply!! People with experience with chisels and bits are REALLY needed!
Hey guys!! Should be our final update regarding roles, as this project will ACTUALLY be closing soon (except background VAs)
We REALLY need VAs for the parents, teachers, and the Principal!!
If you havent' been contacted about your audition, feel free to re-apply!
Hello everyone! Thank you all so so much for all the auditions! Tomorrow I will be going over each and every one with my team to make our final decisions, and will be reaching out to our picks through discord. If you don't have your discord username listed on your audition (this includes in the comments), there is a high chance we won't reach out, so please double check that your discord is listed!! If you would like to be in this project outside of the main roles, I'd suggest auditioning for the background/minor roles that are still open! We still need artists and builders, so if you can do either of those things, or know someone who can, don't hesitate to apply or recommend someone to! I may be opening up an animator position as well, so if you're interested, message me on here or on discord.
Again, I'm truly grateful for all the auditions we've gotten, and I wish you all the best of luck!

A single dad, Ruby's father was an aspiring musician who had to put his dreams aside when Ruby's mother packed up and left. He's very overprotective, and loves her dearly.
Ruby! Wake up, you slept the whole day and missed your first day!! (What?! Seriously?!) Haha, no. But you're still gonna be late, so get up!
Hey kiddo,, what's.. what's wrong?
You got DETENTION?! What happened?!
A nice woman, she's very gentle and friendly.
Amber, Ruby, come down for snacks!
Yes , Amber's up in her room. Did you need her?
Come in, come in! I'm making dinner right now, you should stay for it!
A stern but kind man. He can tell she's gay ☹️
Oh, Ruby. Yes, she's in her room. Go on up.
I'm going out for groceries, is there anything you want, Ruby?
You're practically a part of the family, so don't worry.

Give me a line you think would make you stand out!
My daughter is a bundle of join! Clearly she's been led astray by your... 'students'!
Hi, welcome to Sandwich Lord, what can I get for you today?
A nice man who loves both his daughters. He has a tendency to be a bit out-of-touch as he came from old money, but he supports both his daughters and loves them regardless.
Lola, dear! How was your first day at school?
Andrea, darling, go easy on the girls. They're still young.
Multiple roles in one
We need
Female teachers , young and old
Male teachers, young and old, specifically one that has a cold, strict tone.
Miss Davis, are you trying to leave your seat without permission?
oh, this is a problem.. Ruby, go see the principal.
That kind of behavior is unacceptable!! Do you want detention?!
Can be female or male, the principal is... Not very good at their job.
Oh, you-- destroyed your project? (Ruby: No!! It wasn't me!!) Uhh .. well if you can prove your innocence by the end of the day,, then.. I won't punish you!! How about that?
Miss Davis! Stop running right this instant! That's against the rules! I think.
I'm too young to be a principal, I don't even know how I got this job...
Ruby’s love interest, 18, lesbian. Gentle but assertive, Amber is seen as the “perfect girl” by her classmates. That is, until she's around Ruby. They have a heated rivalry, started by a fierce desire to get the highest test scores, which started in Elementary School. They're a classic rivals to lovers trope, with Ruby only really knowing how to be around Amber through this rivalry.
Voice: Amber has a pretty strong voice, a bit "spunky" and playful.
(playful banter) Oh shut up! You couldn't even beat HALF my score last time!
(flustered) Do you.. want to ,, study together,, or something?
(angry) Are you serious?! You could've ruined the project for all of us!
supporting character, 17, straight. Bubbly and a bit air-headed, Lola is Ruby’s best friend since childhood. She doesn't really realize when she's being bullied or taken advantage of, so Ruby stands up for her when it happens. Lola, however, does know what's happening. She just doesn't know how to say no to people, she comes off as being unaware. Lola is a huge horror enthusiast, and is a fan of all things creepy. She also loves bugs, snakes, and rodents, and has a pet tarantula. She's a very hyper-femme kind of girl, often wearing pink, girly outfits with bows and an overall cutesy aesthetic.
Voice type: Think Kawaii-chan, but without the weird infantalization and stuff.
(excited) Have you watched the sequel to "Drop Dead Gore-geous" yet?
(cheerful) Rubyyyy!! Let's walk home together!!
(sad) I'm sorry sir, it won't happen again.
supporting role, 16, straight. Lola's younger step-sister and dedicated Ruby supporter. She’s a spunky little girl with great athletic abilities, and a future in soccer. She absolutely ADORES Ruby, and sees her as a big sister. She's scared that with college soon approaching, she'll no longer be able to see Ruby, and starts trying to fight off Callem in an attempt to keep what little time she has with Ruby to herself.
Voice - more of a childish voice
(sing-song) I'm sitting next to Rubyyy~!
(arguing) I called dibs this morning!
(pouting) He took my spot,, he's a little rat!
Supporting male, 17, questionable.. Your average lovable dork, Nathan is a big idiot who doesn't really understand most.. anything. Always misunderstanding signs. He met Ruby in freshman year, when she was helping the leadership committee introduce the freshman to the school. She was extra attentive to him, as he was a transfer student, he misunderstood the meaning and has been pining over her since. After hearing that his classmate was making moves on her, he finally took the leap.
Voice - big, lovable idiot.
(embarrassed) I almost threw up when I watched that scene, actually..
(arguing) I got here first!! My hand was in the door before your's!
Sorry Mills, I was in a rush.. hey, wanna go to the arcade with us?
supporting male, 17, also questionable. A second lovable idiot, though a bit more rational than Nathan. He's smart, friendly, and charming, all qualities that have skyrocketed his reputation. He's known Ruby since they were little, and he's been trying to confess to her for years, to no avail. He's been in a constant battle with Ella to spend time with Ruby.
Voice - noncholant, cool guy tone
(arguing) I got here first!!
(embarrassed) Hey, Ruby, there's this toy boat race happening in the park on Saturday..
(upset) What's wrong with you?! That's super messed up, Jensen.
supporting character, 16, pansexual. A snobby, uptight, wanna-be princess. Transferred to the school to continue stalking her crush, only to find he was trying to ask Ruby out. Not knowing that Ruby prefers girls, she starts trying to sabotage her, but eventually just settles with sticking by Ruby to “keep her in check”. This eventually evolved into an actual friendship.
Voice - snobby, rich girl attitude. Think Ivy from Phoenix Drop High
(whining) Nathan!!! How could you leave me in the classroom like that?
(disgusted) ew!! (Correction) I mean, I'll go,, just because you want me to!!
(sarcastic) oh yay, brokies..
antagonist, 17, straight. Amber’s best friend and supporter. He studies with her during class, and hates how Ruby interrupts them. He thinks she's distracting Amber, and hates her because of it. He tries multiple times to get her expelled. He’s nerdy, awkward, and a teacher’s pet.
(accusatory) Ruby did it! I saw her do it!!
(soft) Sorry, can I help you? Who're you looking for?
(annoyed) You just can't let her have some peace, can you?
supporting antagonist, 17, straight. Ella’s best friend and avid Amber hater. She's very similar to Ruby in the fact that she’s confident, ruthlessly honest, and a bit rude. She doesn't have many friends besides Ella, so she puts her all into trying to make Ella happy.
Ella!! My parents got a new TV, you should come over and binge some shows with me!
(dismissive) Ruby's busy right now. Bye.
(angry) can you go away? You're ruining the mood.
main antagonist, 18, bisexual. A charming but conniving little bastard. Ellis is obsessed with Ruby, and hates that she's making more friends outside of Lola and Ella. He goes back to school mid-season, and does all his antagonist stuff. Lies to everyone, saying Ruby bullied him relentlessly in middle school, and forced him to move schools, and that he was scared to come back to school after seeing that he transferred into not only her school, but her class as well..
(HIS PERSONALITY IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE)
Voice - when talking with others, Ellis puts on an act, and comes off a timid, shy, and overall very weak. Outside of this, he's very cocky and has a more cold tone, except when talking to Ruby (with some exceptions). He's a master at changing his tone to get the best results.
(sad) Well, she.. isn't that great.. she bullied me everyday back in middle school.. but maybe she's changed!
(timid, scared) I don't want to cause any trouble, just leave me alone!
(cocky/smug) What? I'm just telling them what they want to hear. All of them already hated you, and just wanted a reason to be open about it. Now they have one.
A snobby, posh woman obsessed with her appearance and reputation.
I don't have a daughter named Ella. (Ruby: Fine, can I see Eleanor?) Hah! No.
Lorena, darling, mind your mouth.
(disgusted) the least you can do, is keep your disgusting friends outside the house.
