My dear Mrs. Stilton, It is an honor to see you again.
(kindly) My dear mouselings, you know no student is allowed to leave the academy during the semester, but since this is an emergency, I will grant you permission to leave Whale Island. (serious) However, when you return, you will need to take your exams. So don't neglect on your studies!
Thanks, Paulina. Come inside students! I'll call some workers to clean up the damage right away!

ROLE: Side
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: He’s honest, big hearted, compassionate and has a deep passion for the arts of dancing! At times, he could be quite a “Mr. Grumpy-Pants”’ but he deeply cares for his Mother and his other family members and is determined to help get Pamela back! He has a medium-high pitch that would sound as though it could be Tanjiro Kamado from Demon Slayer
Reference:
(jokingly) Lucky I was there to free you!
Broadway? I don't want to be here anymore... (coldly) I don't want to come at all to the show with you. ...Because your a crut that's why.
(apologetic, saddened) The truth is... As soon as I heard you were gone, I forgot all the reasons why I was angry and managed to think only...only about how important you are to me. Do you forgive me?
ROLE: Minor
Character Description: She may be cold and a bit hard to get along at first. But deep down, she’s a kind and sweet girl who's passionate about supporting the people that she cares about, especially Justin. She'll have a medium-high pitch that would sound as though it could be Ochaco Uraraka from My Hero Academia.

(coldly) I'm sure you'll need the sug-
(excitedly, accepting) I would love to!

He also has an eye for water sports and loves to sing and play the guitar but isn’t so good with math, drumming, engineering or solving puzzles. As a bonus, he speaks and gained knowledge of Italy and French and have a slightly mid-deep voice like Mash Burndead.

Talk to me? What an honor, Miss Pamela!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A prideful, smug, competitive, spoiled girl who seeks nothing but popularity and attention amongst Mouseford. Attempts of sabotaging the Thea Sisters up to glory is one thing, but caring for them is a bit hard to do, even when she’s sometimes forced too by her little brother or decides upon herself. A high pitched tone with an Italian accent

(to-herself) Hmmm...These Thea Sisters are very popular! Too popular, for my taste!
*GRRR!* You Snake!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: She’s quiet, very blunt, spiteful and vindictive towards Vanilla’s rivals. But sometimes she could sneak in a little bit of kindness every once in a while.

She's so dull...
(knowingly) Dina Squid! The Thea Sisters' friend...
Oh, well, that's just what I wanted to talk to you about! I need some advice. (thoughtfully) Would you go on a walk with me?
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: She’s a Canadian rodent who's short-tempered, loyal to Vanilla and can be quite mischievous when it comes to sabotaging her rivals. At times, she could be flirtatious around any guy including Craig and can be a bully to Alicia. Unfortunately, being forced to act nice towards her rivals is another option if things don’t go her way.
Reference(s):
Of course, Vanilla!
(boastfully) I can't wait to tell Vanilla about it! Tee hee!
(pretending to be sympathetic) Oh, I'm so sorry! You won't be able to run in that condition!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: She’s naive and can follow whatever order Vanilla gives her, even if it’s for fun or just to sabotage. However, if she screws up, Vanilla would be the one to tell or insult her and would do whatever it takes to make her friends proud! Alongside Connie, she has a soft heart towards the Thea Sisters whenever Zoey or the boss isn’t around to notice. The pitch to her voice can be high with a South Texan accent.
Reference:
(shocked, curiously) What're you saying? I don't understand...
(excitedly) They're really with it!
Why did you get me punished too? (nervously) I heard Violet talking about it yesterday! (reflectively) She said something like... Our Asa's Perfume will sell like hotcakes!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: He’s a straight-A-student who’s got good intelligence and grades but he cannot outrun his timidness or anxiety for long. He has a huge crush on Pamela but nobody hasn’t known yet cause it’s all rather hush-hush. However, sometimes, he would act like a father-figure to his friends and Paulina, trying his very best to help her during this difficult challenge. He'll get a nerdy, Japanese and Chinese (Mandarin) accent.

ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A literature teacher who can be strict and stern with her students which makes it a bit difficult to show her soft spot for anyone.

This Castle is one of the oldest in all of Scotland. It's on the Isle of Skye, and it's a real treasure! Unfortunately, most of the Alistair Mac Namouse's descendants have never admitted the status of their esteemed ancestor.
(angrily) Outside! Both of you!
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A modern language teacher who’s lively, bubbly and quite energetic with anything! Sometimes, she can act serious when it comes to exams or tests and even homework but like Rose, she cares for her students including the Thea Sisters during Pam’s disappearance.

(whispering) Good, but maybe a little too much feeling,
(in a melodious voice) Professor Sparkle! Bartholomewwwww~!! Umm... I was really sure that you went over here...
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: He’s publisher and editor of the Rodents Gazette and can also be shy, well mannered, brave, open and very quick to anger. At times, he would want to read a book instead of crazy adventures. But I guess he can’t say no to anyone who needs help.
Example {ACCENT EDITION}:
- https://youtu.be/iVq7vtn1sNA?si=Iq-0hPWJAmHk7SIb [start at 2:26] (ITALIAN)
My name is Stilton, Geronimo Stilton, and I'm an editor in chief of The Rodent's Gazette, the famouse newspaper on Mouse Island.
(skeptical, knowingly) She's right about one thing. The robbers and Thea's disappearance might be connected... Yes! That mysterious rat might be responsible for everything.
(scared) Help!
ROLE: Main Side Character
Character Description: She’s strong, wise, confident, fearless, vulnerable and has the role as a mentor/mother-figure to the Thea Sisters and would do anything to protect them, even if it means using the power of “Kung-Fu Fighting”!

(a bit unsatisfied) I feel like the top of a wedding cake.
(grunt) Heeeyah!
Gerry! *chuckles* You were looking pretty sharp on that motorcycle. I saw you on the corner of Blue Cheese Avenue and Fur Line Drive. That was some wheelie you pulled. (questionably) When did you get the cycle? (skeptically) I thought you hated bikes.
ROLE: Minor
Characters Description: A bouncy and energetic little girl who’s got excitement for adventure! Of course she could get rowdy, also can be very annoying to Geronimo and would often call him “Uncle G” or “Uncle Geronimo”, and lastly, she’s afraid of spiders but loves insects, outspoken and outgoing and can be loyal to her best friend, Benjamin.
Reference:
Wait! (curious) Did you hear that?
Uncle G, we went all the way around the palace and kept our ears open!
Woooah! (admiring) Thea, you're beautiful! ...Let me just take care of that shine.
ROLE: Minor
CHARACTER DESCRIPTION: A successful business woman/CEO of Vissen Cosmetics who only cares about herself, her work and beauty but loves her children regardless. She’s stubborn, impatient and arrogant behind the scenes, but outside of work, she pretends to care about the environment just to make people love her. Even though her plans may’ve been foiled twice, this time, she’s determined to make her dreams come true!
Reference:
Excellent! That way, no one will think about the Giant Wave and the danger we've faced! I'll advertise my Island as a...Love nest!
(to-herself, angrily) That busybody has discovered my secret! (admittedly) I underestimated her...And they're ruining everything! I spent a fortune building my collection! I went against every international law to capture protected species...(aggravated) And now my dream is being blown to bits!
(skittery) Hold on just a minute...Such impatience! This is just all part of the beauty of live coverage!
ROLE: Minor

That's Professor Plotfur for you... (affectionately) always with his snout in the stratosphere!
ROLE: Minor
