Katabelle Ansari for Carly Maker
Long description:
Carly Maker is the third main character in the series and the future love interest of John. While she believes in the cartoon reality John also believes in, she believes in it for different reasons. They both studied up on spiritualism and sociology in high school, but John is more invested than her. Think of the stereotype of a teenage girl and that's Carly. She is affectionate, friendly, compassionate and generous. As the predecessor of the God of the Skies, she has the ability to harness all weather and bend it to her will. She can create lightning and fog screens, rain, blazing heat, snow, hail, etc. She can also absorb the molecules in the air to store as energy (such as Hydrogen, Nitrogen, etc.)While she can do this, she's a bit of an airhead. She doesn’t get the severity of issues or the dangers that she puts herself in.She doesn’t believe she's invincible, but rarely she takes things seriously. On top of being John's future love interest, she has a special emotional bond with everyone in the group.
Backstory:
Carly grew up being bullied by a bunch of kids for not dressing like a girl, mainly due to the fact that her parents expected a boy and couldn’t afford more clothes. Every was the only one to comfort her, making both of them close friends since childhood. While she identifies as a girl throughout season 1, she soon transitions in real time to being full on gender fluid. After many years of being called a boy due to how she dressed, she gave up convincing people otherwise. During her middle to high school years, she starts getting used to being mistaken as a guy and starts to enjoy it, flipping the trauma she had into a positive. Fast forward to the present, John helps her fully come to terms with the notion of being both a guy and a girl not being an issue, and that John’s perception of them wouldn’t change. Their character arc is struggling with not knowing whether or not they want to stay a she, or a he, or both.
NOTE: The description labels them as a she, due to being a girl at the beginning of the show. They will slowly transition from a girl, to being more comfortable going whichever way she wants; however, for the beginning, they are a she.
What we’re looking for:
Genderfluid individual needed (assigned female at birth)
This is important. We try our best to make the characters relatable to the actor/actress they're played as. As in, who'd know more about playing a genderfluid person than another genderfluid person

Must convey passion to learning
High pitched voice
