The Jorvik Diaries
carlottabkind for Lily Forte
Lily Forte will be a slightly re-occurring character but may be in multiple episodes with bigger intervals. Mrs. Forte is a rescue worker on new turf, a missouri fox trotter mare who sadly is out of her control. She has no time or patience for her, so she reaches out to Willow in hopes of transferring her to another facility.
Not only does Lily have info regarding the past of the New Hope Rescue, but she also gives insight on who the former owner was, and shares details on why the journals are there. Lily is a big part of this story, and she will be returning for more episodes after Ep1/2.
Character Sheet:
Reoccurring side character, possible long intervals
- Age Range: 50-70 (Adult female or female senior)
- Accent Designated: Any american accent
- Tone: Sincerity and sweetness
Lily Forte (pronounced For-tay) is nothing short of sweet and caring. She is a well-known older rescue worker in the area, and takes care of her animals well. Not only does Lily have info dating back to before Willow was even born, but she also knows a lot about former New Hope Rescue owner, H. Lily is in her 60s/70s, so an older voice will be required, but I don't expect an old and croaky voice if someone can't meet those requirements.
- female senior
- female adult
- older

"Well, Holly wanted this location to be given to her heir, her children, but Holly and her husband couldn’t have kids. They tried for years, and adopting just wasn’t an option with the workload and money issues here. She wanted to be a mom for the longest time. Before her passing, which was quite sudden, she tried her best to find someone worthy to buy the barn. It’s literally written in the bill of sale that the buyer has to meet the requirements."
"Mrs. Harte, dear, I don’t think you’re understanding me. Holly, she didn’t pick and choose the best, she chose who she knew would do the job well. It doesn’t matter if you’re not the best, what matters is you’re committing yourself to this job. Holly had problems throughout her entire life with health, relationships, money, gosh I lost count through the years, but Miss Holly Winthrop never let down the animals she rescued. You weren’t picked from a flock of best to worst, Holly chose you through faith that this place would be sold to the right buyer, and after speaking with you, I think it was a good choice. New Hope isn’t just a new hope for animals, sweetheart. "
