Character Description: Elira Sparks (Protagonist, Inventor)

Role: Elira Sparks is a brilliant 18-year-old inventor and the leader of a team of misfits. Despite her vast intellect, she’s socially awkward and often struggles with self-doubt. She’s the team's tech expert, constantly creating new gadgets and coming up with solutions to impossible problems. Though she’s often unsure of herself, her determination and passion for invention drive her forward. As a leader, she is fiercely protective of her team, but her vulnerability shows when she’s unsure about her decisions. Elira is a blend of intellect, courage, and emotional complexity.

Voice Type: Elira’s voice should be clear and intelligent, with a hint of vulnerability and occasional awkwardness. She is confident in her abilities but unsure of herself in emotional or social situations. The voice should carry a sense of maturity while still sounding like someone in their late teens. Think of a voice that conveys determination and resilience, yet can also express self-doubt and vulnerability when needed.

Emotion Required: Elira needs to sound intelligent and calm under pressure, but also vulnerable when facing uncertainty. She’s capable of expressing frustration or excitement when her inventions aren’t working as expected, but also can sound reserved or awkward in social situations. The tone should balance between confidence in her intellect and hesitation when it comes to leadership.
