Summoner+ | Original Isekai Video Series
Cascade Nerida for Cassia
NOTE: Feel free to add more lines to your audition using dialogue from the webtoon. Link in the main description and my creator bio.
A fea (elf) girl from the continent of Yurai in Ser, and the first person to ever meet and befriend Kokona. She is loyal and caring, and believes with all her heart that Kokona is the rescuer of Ser. She has the power to grow and manipulate plants and trees.
Personality:
Idealistic and purehearted, Cassia is the emotional heart of the team. Caring and motherly, she makes sure everyone is happy and well taken care of. She always puts the needs the others over herself, which can often overwhelm her own regard for herself.
Background:
Born a sheltered village girl on the islands of Mai’ila, Cassia lost her beloved mother at a very young age. She has always believed in the Summoner, even if the world has largely forgotten or disregarded it as an old promise unfulfilled.
Voice Notes:
Cassia has a high, gentle and bright voice that contrasts against her huge stature (she’s around 6’4). She’s very innocent, and lacks a single ounce of cynicism or jadedness, which shows in her voice and how she speaks to others, often trusting and earnest. Her voice has an airy, bubbly quality to it.
I imagined her voice as similar to Hynden Walch’s Starfire from Teen Titans, or the English equivalent of Minako Kotobuki's portrayal of Mugi from K-ON.
Starfire Examples: [1] - [2] - [3]
Mugi Examples: [1] - [2] - [3]
Optional: You can experiment in an extra take with a Pacific or South Asian islander accent.
[fascinated about Koko's world, which people in Ser call Aeda (ah-eyy-dah). She sounds curious and excited, with childlike wonder.]
"Oh kinsman Kokona, you have to tell me more about the bubble tea! How do you freeze the bubbles, won't they just pop? Is it some form of... strange magic that all the bubble tea breweries in Aeda have??"
[laughs giddily]
"Oh, it is made of starch? That's so strange... but wonderful! I never would have known you could make something so quaint with that..."
[panicking, trying to calm a fight between her teammates down]
"Everyone, please stop fighting! Stop, stop it!"
[they don't listen and Cassia gets filled with motherlike anger, and raises her voice in a stern way.]
"EVERYONE, STOP FIGHTING, RIGHT THIS INSTANT! Why are you doing this to each other?! We are a team!"
[witnesses a burned village with its inhabitants dead. She starts crying and sobbing]
"No...! This is horrible...! Who... What kind of monster could do something like this...?"
[She hears someone calling for help in the distance. Still trying to talk through her tears, she alerts her teammates, her emotion a mix of desperation and hope.]
"D-Did you hear that? Someone's still alive, it came from under that house! Please, everyone... we have to go... we have to go now...!"
