Character and Role Description: The Baker is based on the villagers in the game that Sonic helps from time to time. If it helps your acting decisions, according to the character wiki, the villagers “were designed to embody the spirit of the forest.” This Baker is kind hearted, and loves their work. In their scene, they are startled and distressed by a thief stealing a loaf of their bread. (Lines: 4 lines)

Voice Description: In the game, the villagers don’t really have a voice. When the player goes to talk to them, they sound sort of like broken pottery clinking. So feel free to experiment, and see if that influences your decisions! The baker is an adult, and is mature and parental in nature, so go for that timber! Also, you will need to yell. Please do not hold back, and ensure your equipment does not peak!
