Wings of Fire: The Audio Drama (Casting Season 1; Part 1)
Tin Top for Peril
Character Overview: Peril is a seven year old (around seventeen in human years) mountain dragon, and a major recurring character in Season 1. She serves as the royal champion of Queen Scarlet in her terrifying arena, due to being hatched with too much fire (meaning that anything she touches immediately burns). She begins as a brutal killer who doesn’t seem to really understand the consequences of her actions, due to the heavy manipulation she was undergoing from her queen. She’s a bit awkward and insensitive, but has a good heart deep down, and will do the right thing when push comes to shove.
Voice: Peril has a bright, expressive, medium-pitched voice. Her tone has the feeling of someone who is trying to make themself sound more mysterious and imposing than they really are. She’s positively oozing with teenage angst.

(proud) “Her Majesty said I might as well follow my true nature. That's how she raised me — letting me be myself, giving me dragons to kill. Maybe you'd feel better if you could be who you really are.”
(nervous) “I'm going to go say hi to Clay! I mean to uh, him and his friends. So I can tell him what I did to Scarlet! I mean, tell all of them. What Ruby did, technically. But with my help! He's going to be so excited. Don't you think? So excited? I mean, not that it's any big deal. Well, I guess it's kind of a big deal that I stopped his, like, super worst enemy from coming after him. He'll be happy about that. Right? Not that it matters. Why am I nervous? I'm not! STOP BEING NERVOUS, PERIL. Ha ha! That'll work.”
(displeased) “I thought I was born a killer, but it turns out I wasn't. Queen Scarlet made me that way... or I let myself become that way. It's like I chose it without knowing I chose it. But you were born that way. You knew what you were like, and you chose to be something else. I guess I feel like I can't be one of you unless I can do that, too.”
