The Hollow Crown- Animated Series
Project Overview
In a world where magic supposedly disappeared centuries ago, a group of ordinary teenagers discover the ruins of an ancient kingdom beneath their hometown.
They accidentally awaken an ancient magical force—and discover that the kingdom didn't simply fall.
It was erased.
The deeper they investigate, the stranger things become. Ancient creatures begin appearing. Places that shouldn't exist start appearing on maps. And eventually, they discover that each of them has some unexplained connection to the kingdom.
At the center of everything is the Hollow Crown—an ancient artifact said to belong to the kingdom's last ruler.
Except...
there's no crown inside the ruins.
And something—or someone—has been looking for it for centuries.

Personality: Responsible, practical, stubborn, protective. She's the person who says “this is a terrible idea” and then proceeds to participate anyway because everyone else is clearly going to get themselves killed.
Big flaw: She feels like everything is her responsibility. If something goes wrong, she immediately thinks, I should've stopped this.
Character arc:
Evelyn starts out believing that being a leader means having all the answers. Her arc is learning that leadership can mean trusting other people and admitting when she doesn't know what to do.
Fun character quirk: She is really good at remembering tiny practical details.

- female teen
Excited: “Wait, wait, wait! Don't touch it! That's an ancient magical seal!”

“...What exactly do you know?”
Big flaw: She doesn't trust people easily and would rather hide information than risk someone using it against her.
Character arc:
Shady's entire problem is trust. She knows something about the ancient kingdom—but she's terrified that telling the others will put them in danger.
Fun character quirk: She isn't evil because she's edgy.
- female teen
Dry: “You know, most people see an ancient cursed doorway and decide not to open it.”
Ominous: “I've seen this place before.”
