Berkner (Happy Feet AU | Audio Drama)
LeslieNicole88 for Rodna
Rodna is the protagonist's mother. She's more to herself and only speaks with an old friend of hers in the colony. Other than that, she either spends time alone or has an evening walk with Alep. Since Alep has similar eyes to her, some play around that Alep's just a "clone" of her, which she doesn't mind because of how much attention it gives the both of them.
Equal to Gevi, she has an intense fear of death, especially if it's involving her child (Alep), which only worsened after they collapsed with an ice shelf. It sometimes leads her to be very close to her son, tapping her feet, or having to lay down from her rapid hyperventilation moments.
In human age, Rodna's about 51 years old. Please try to sound like the age provided, or at least be close to it.
(Worried, holding onto young Alep tightly, reassuring him. She's trying not to break down. Have her give a soft whisper as if she's talking to him near his ear.)
Alep... don't worry. It's going to be alright. It may seem like the worst right now, but we'll pull through. If we could... c-could survive that orca attack, then we can survive being on.. on an ice cap again.
(Chuckling, looking down. Have her chuckle during the first sentence and then pull off a melancholic tone with the rest.)
A lot of penguins said I would be a loner. I didn't care at all, really. Taking care of a chick as a single mother is difficult, but it's a path I'm okay with taking.
(Hyperventilating. Have her make sudden stops to make it sound more real.)
Alep, alep! Alep- I - (pause) - I don't want to do this again! No - no, I don't want to lose you again! Please, we've already had to deal with this years ago, w-why d-d (pause, crying) - do you want to do this again?! (yelling) I rather stay in here and starve myself! (still hyperventaling)
ah-lip sounds just as nice as ah-leep so you're good! Xd I loved it a lot! I really loved the second one, a pleasant touch on how Rodna would usually talk. :> An interesting audition; Love it a lot!
ahhh yay thank you so much !!!
