Polaris [An Original Animatic Series] - Pilot
Vanetia for Jane Canosa
Jane is the 14 year old protagonist of this series, and the story centers around her personal journey after she discovers her new abilities. Jane, after witnessing a major school bus collision, manages to break the glass to free a few of the trapped children. After confiding in her best friend Oliver, she realizes that she has suddenly gained the ability to conduct light and heat. From there, Jane is sent to Polaris, where she and her new friends Rory, Zander, Brielle, and Atticus begin to uncover the mystery of a strange phenomena occurring around the valley.
Jane is known for being quite a talker--she's not necessarily outgoing and doesn't have many friends, but when engaged in conversations she has a lot to say. As an ambivert, she loves to socialize, but some alone time doesn't bother her. She has a bit of a quirky, awkward energy about her, and tends blurt things out or lose focus. [Line Count: 96]
We are looking for someone who can convey a youthful energy in their voice, but not too high-pitched or childlike. Medium to medium-high is the target vocal range. As the lead, Jane has the highest involvement in the series, and many lines will consist of long strings of dialogue.
[Rambling, speaking fairly quickly] Oh. Right. So we got out of the car, and there was this HUGE school bus just... on its side. And there was smoke everywhere, and I didn't know what to do, but I saw my dad run over and I figured I should probably help too. But I was so scared cause I thought, y'know, I've never really seen a dead body before. Well, except my grandma, but that was like six years ago and it was sort of an open casket thing, so it wasn't really that gruesome or anything...
[After using her powers for the second time] I don't know why I thought to do that. But it just felt right.
[Panicked, trying to put out a fire] I don't think my powers work in reverse, Oliver!
