There will be MINOR cursing (hell and damn mainly), but nothing drastic (I'm wanting to keep this at a PG rating)!
A year after the mysterious disapearance of her brother, Axel, 26 year old Céleste (Céci) is coming home to the US (after living abroad in France to pursue her fashion major) for the summer.
However, she receives a call from Axel's wife, Serena, telling Céci someone might have a lead on Axel's disapearance, asking Céci to keep an eye on their doting 8 year old daugther, Lunetta. Céleste enthustiastically agrees to watch her darling niece while Serena finds leads to Axel's disappearance!
Later that evening, Céleste hears a mysterious voice coming from...Lunetta's room?!? She quickly investigates to find Boris, Axel's hand-me-down teddy bear, walking and talking to Lunetta. Apparently he was always able to talk, much to Céci's surpirse; because he's not really a teddy bear...Boris is actually a demon trying to stop Elgar, the king of all demons, from destroying the world! Because, if the world is destroyed, there will be no balance and everything will fall into chaos.
Boris then gifts Céleste with the blood diamond, a mysterious clear diamond that looks like it drips blood on the inside that grants it's holder a power. Céci will have to learn to use the Blood Diamond all while saving the earth from Elgar's minions (and Elgar himself).
This is unpaid, but I'm hoping, if this gets popular enough, I'll be able to pay my VAs some!
More characters will be added, this casting call is mainly for the pilot and second episode. I'm HOPING to have the pilot up by September OR October of this year (and the trailer in June or July) on spotify (and other streaming platforms in the future).
I'm also going to be animating some scenes for fun!

Rest assured, I will be viewing and providing feedback late tonight or tomorrow afternoon! 🤩
Thanks for your patience!
Lead/Major role.
Boris is the old, worn teddy bear of Céleste's older brother (Axel) who was passed down to his daughter (Céleste's niece), Lunetta. Apparently he was always able to talk?
I'm looking for a medium, kind of raspy voice with a slight lisp.
*Sighing in defeat* Fine! I can talk! And walk too! See? See that?
*Matter of fact like* It's a katana...
*Annoyed* That's why you need to learn to LISTEN Céci!
Major role/The antagonist
Elgar is the demon king who rules over the underworld, and is doing his best to destroy Earth.
I'm looking for a deep-ish (not super deep), sinister type voice.
*calm* I need that blood diamond. *impatient* I don't care how you get it! Just snatch it from her hands or something!
*slight anger/annoyance* I'm sorry, what was that? I didn't hear my brother's name...did I?
Minor/extra role
Lunetta's mother, Axel's wife, and Céleste's sister-in-law. Is doing everything she can to find out about the disappearance of her husband. Is going away on business for a month, allowing her sister-in-law to babysit her daughter.
Looking for a medium-high, motherly voice for her.
*voicemail/on the phone (don't worry about sound effects here)* Hey, Céci! I know you're on your way home, and I'm sorry to ruin your summer...but I have to go on this trip...
Be good for Céci, Lunetta!
*On phone* How is everything? Lunetta's not causing too much trouble, is she?
Minor/extra role
Rayne is the mother of Axel and Céleste and the grandmother of Lunetta, she'll make an appearance every now and then to check up on Céleste and Lunetta while her daughter-in-law is gone.
Looking for a motherly medium-high voice.
*cheerful* Lunetta! Grandma's here!
*concerned* Céci? You look tired...are you sleeping OK?
Minor/extra role
Gus is the father of Axel and Céleste, and the grandfather of Lunetta.
Looking for a medium-low voice for him.
You can't just barge in people's house, Rayne! Even if it IS Axel's place.
*sigh* We would've called...but your mother was too worried...
Extra role
The time demon is...well...just that, a demon with the ability to control time. He's the first demon Céci, Boris, and Lunetta encounter.
Looking for a medium tone with a posh British accent.
What a pathetic power! Tick-tock. Give me the blood diamond; Elgar will have a better use for it. Tick-tock.
Did you really think a mere human could defeat a demon? Tick-tock.
