Ethereal Blaze Concept Audio Drama
AshDeSantis for Blaire Witherrow
Blaire is a core cast protagonist, descended from a well known family of people who have visions of the past, present and future. She comes to Asher the day his village is destroyed with a warning, getting herself swept up into the battle for the throne. She has a sweet midrange voice and is intended to have an Estonian accent. For reference, check out Esther from the movie Orphan. However, feel free to try different accents, like Russian for example, or something like Jester from Critical Role.
Blaire is a bit of an oddball or eccentric, she talks to an owl she always has on her shoulder, and even addresses him as her brother. She does have personal reasons for being invested in Asher's journey to retake his crown, in the form of taking her home back from her aunt. Blaire was a noble from the same country where Asher was born, but several years ago, her aunt killed her family and drove her out. She's been in hiding ever since.

[Talking to her owl] "Atlas... do you think... if the prince goes home... if he takes his castle back... do you think we'll be able to go home, too? [Pause] I know, I won't get my hopes up. But still, I can't help but wonder what it look like now..." [Wistful and nostalgic]
[Meeting Asher for the first time after saving him from a fall] "Aha, I knew it, it is you! See Atlas? We found him!" [Pause, change tone from excited, to embarrased from her over the top burst of excitement] "Ah- well, no, not really, I just saw you once before! Ah... well actually that might be a bit confusing... let me start over. My name is Blaire Witherrow, and this is my brother, Atlas!"
For the last line, please try some fighting yells, as well as screams. In addition you can either do a little bit of improv, or say this line for some extra credit! [Sounding frightened, uneasy and confused] "What's... going on? Atlas, why did it get dark all of the sudden?"
