RWBY: REMNANTS [Fanmade Illustrated Video Series]
JulieAEO for Blake Belladonna
Blake is a former member of a renegade organisation foreign to the walls of Vale, and has committed many sins in the name of peace and justice. Haunted by her past, she seeks refuge in Beacon as a way to atone for her past, fleeing from the only family and home she ever knew. She soon joins the protagonists and forms Team RWBY.
Compared to the show, Blake here is less snarky and is more withdrawn and shy, with a certain uncertainty in her voice, but will speak boldly if she sees someone being treated unfairly or bullied. She has a certain raspy yet gentle quality to her voice, like a caged bird covering itself with prickly armour. Under her guarded exterior is a very empathetic and friendly soul, kept hidden behind walls built up to protect herself from a world that has only ever treated her as the other. She also loves reading books and spending time in serene introspection.
EDIT: As an alternate optional take, consider giving her a very subtle French accent.
[Vulnerable, reminiscing and speaking of her desires to someone she trusts in Team RWBY]
"All I wanted was family. All I wanted was to do what was right. That day, on the train… I had to choose between these two. Maybe I was right to choose the right thing. But family… it was all I ever had."
[Fighting alongside Team RWBY during a class competition. During the heat of the moment, she becomes more spontaneous and speaks more openly and confidently to her teammates. Her voice is raised, pumping with adrenaline, hoping their team makes the test.]
"I've got this next one, you three go ahead!"
"Weiss, look out! I've got your back!"
"Come on Ruby, you can do this!"
[At peace, relaxing with Ruby in their Beacon dorm room. They are both quite good friends by this time.]
*soft laugh* "Ruby, I don’t think you should be reading books like those."
[nervous realization, then turning slightly frantic] "Wait… is that mine? G-Give it back, please!"
Great work! This is a very strong performance. The first line can be voiced with a more quiet or depressed tone rather than an outspoken one, but I think from what I can hear there's no doubt in your ability to execute as such. Will consider this for review.
Thank you so much for the consideration!
