Paper Mario: The Rise of Voldemort (Casting for Chapters 5 and 6)
Solaria for Ochaco Uruaka
Ochaco Uruaka is a teenage superhero with gravity powers. Whatever she touches starts to float. It is a very effective power. She refers to it as a quirk. In Rise of Voldemort, Ochaco's life takes a turn for the worse when King Boo attacks her home, destroying everyone and everything. Ochaco is the only survivor. Plagued with survivor's guilt, Ochaco spends her days alone in the abandoned city. She fends for herself, not trusting anyone or anything. That is, until Mario and his friends show up and bring some light back into her dark and cold life.
Personality:
After King Boo ravaged her home. Ochaco has grown distant and isolated. Her only companion being the core of her best friend. Despite her superpowers, she's a lonely teenager. But that will not crush her spirit. She is kind and empathetic, willing to defend those who can't defend themselves. She is more protective of her friends following King Boo. The more time she spends with Mario, the more of her old bubbly and optimistic personality begins to shine through.
Voice Direction:
Ochaco has a mid to high voice. She is a 16 year old female child with gravity powers, so it should sound more on the "higher" side. Feel free to use her anime voice as a reference , but it is also SUPER DUPER ENCOURAGED to come up with your own take at the voice
- female teen
(Defending her friends from an evil witch) I know in my heart that they do. They are far from villains, but I wouldn’t call them “super heroes”. They are just a group of oddballs trying to make this world a better place. Normal people, like you and me, who have lost someone or something dear to them. They just want to see their friends and family again.
(Reminiscing a good memory) It wasn’t always like this. I used to come here all the time with my friends. We’d go shopping and hang out and talk about schoolwork and hero stuff. I even went out here with Deku-er-a good friend once. It was fun…I hope I can get those good times back.
(Explaining her backstory, and slowly breaking down)...it all happened on a normal day. We were in school doing our work and stuff. When suddenly, King Boo appeared. Our professor tried to neutralize him, but King Boo was too powerful. He slaughtered him in a single strike. He then took Mina, Bakugo, Mineta…all of them…I took Tsu’s core, but I twisted my knee while escaping. King Boo was closing in and preparing to strike. But Deku showed up and struck him. I didn’t want to leave him, but I had no choice. As I looked back, all I could hear was his dying screams and all I could see was his body deteriorating…it should have been me…it should have been me…
