IDW's Sonic The Hedgehog - Volume 2
Mcshapeshifter for Whisper
[Long-term supporting character, with a leading role in the "Tangle & Whisper" mini-series - current approx 128 lines from 7 volumes.]
Whisper is a wolf with a heavily-customised sniper wispon. Originally from a specialist team of wispon-users, after losing her comrades she has become more of a recluse. She doesn't like physical contact, is awkward around others, and often very closed-off emotionally.
Happy with any kind of pitch, the important thing with Whisper is being able to have her commonly speak in a quiet, soft tone - often awkward, sometimes a little shy. But the voice has to be capable of opening up as well - allowing her to speak more comfortably, and sometimes breaking into bursts of emotion - happiness, anger, sorrow.
[After Silver helps her and tries to make friends - should sound a little unsure, anxious.]
...Maybe.[Heavy breathing - angry, upset, as she goes to destroy one of Eggman's computers - heavy memories are surfacing here. Then, as Sonic comforts her, her breathing settles down, until she backs off with a resigned voice.]
Okay...[Later on, during an attempt to take care of an infectious disease created by Eggman, Whisper loses a new friend - someone she finally allowed herself to get close to again. This line read should be abrupt, filled with grief - really go for it.]
TANGLE!!
