🎙️ Character Name: Luann

Pronouns: She/Her
Age Range (Voice): 60s–70s
Vocal Quality: Warm, grounded, and unmistakably maternal. Carries the gentle strength and soulful rhythm of a Southern Black Grandma—loving, no-nonsense, and full of quiet fire when needed.

Luann is Uri’s paternal grandmother and the one person he still calls family. After he severed ties with the rest of his relatives, she took him in without hesitation. She’s always been in Uri’s corner—celebrating his highs, holding space during his lows, and never once pressuring him to be anything other than himself.

She’s got a soft voice, a strong spirit, and knows how to shut someone down with a look or a well-timed “mm-hmm.” She’s not flashy with her magic, but there’s wisdom in her words and power in her presence. You can feel the history when she speaks.

• Soothing, lyrical cadence with deep emotional resonance

• Effortless blend of love and steel—can comfort or correct in the same breath

• Authenticity is key: this voice should feel lived-in, rich with experience, pride, and protectiveness
