Lerna Trick is definitely important, as she is one of the pair of main characters. (LERNA WILL HAVE QUITE A FEW LINES.) She is the beautiful and charismatic one of the duo; confident, strong and unpredictable. The last of which gets on Shae's nerves sometimes... because Shae is a planner and organizer. But, it pays off for them, most of the time. Lerna is very fluid in how she walks and talks, and has an inane sensuality to her that she doesn't try to emit, but is just there. She can be quite girly, at times, and loves a good fashion magazine every now and then. Most importantly, she loves Shae more than anything in the world, and would die for her sister without a moment's hesitation.
(she was woken up, and she definitely loves her sleep) Turn that stupid thing off, Shae! Some people actually like to sleep in!
Anyways, the harassment was worth at least that. Never mind the fact that we were investigating that one for five weeks. True—the publicity was good for her case, but when you catch a married ADA in a scandalous affair with a minor, the press that comes pouring in from everywhere is just too freaking overwhelming. But whatever. We did the job, we got paid, and that’s that.
(to Shae) So… do you want the bunk or the couch? Because you looked pretty comfy here when I walked in..... Good. I was hoping you would say that.
The barista is a very minor character that doesn't exist past the prologue. I am not super-picky with how she sounds. Try to sound like a bubbly, friendly, 20-something young woman that would work at Starbucks. Haha. We all know the type that I mean.
Venti Salted Caramel Frappuccino!
What can I get for you today?
Can I help you make a selection, sir? May I suggest──(she is interrupted by a rude customer)
Mr. Marcus is a minor character that doesn't make it past the prologue. He is an arrogant, stuck-up lawyer, that happens to be cheating on his wife. So please, feel free to make him sound as nasty, snobby and horrible as you can. If the actor I pick is versatile, I may call upon him for other minor roles throughout the series. Please, continue to follow my updates, if that sounds like something that would interest you.
(impatient and rude) Just give me a Chai Tea Latte.
Non-fat, obviously. I’m not a glutton. (rude)
