A Sapphic Swashbuckling Whodunnit: The Mutiny of Keely Hall
Faux Synder for Lydia Griffith
Victorian Gentleman Detective
6'0
30 years old
Lesbian
Lydia grew up insecure with exclusively masculine role models. But her history is not relevant to anyone she meets from this point forward. She has reinvented herself with the traits of a fictional masculine detective who no one is actually like in real life. Is she any good at this masc mask? Not really! She is still a very insecure, whiny, and cowardly goofball, and bad at hiding it. Don’t tell her you noticed! One might assume Winklynn is the weird one. Don’t let your ex-wife win this.
As we see more of Lydia's mask slip throughout the show, I want it to be clear: Lydia is the weird one, Winklynn is in second and not close second, on lap ⅓. Winklynn is a normal human nerd, Lydia is Scooby-Doo in sunglasses and a fedora trying to make Shaggy laugh by acting like a badass.
She's not the Jessica Rabbit of the group; she's the Eddie Valiant
She has a deep voice. Deeper voice than you’re used to a woman having. She is a sarcastic asshole through and through, but tries to make her snark sound cool and chill. (She might not succeed, and might come across grumpy). No particular accent in mind. Use your natural accent, or one you’re comfortable maintaining.
If Kate McKinnon was cast as Indiana Jones, Dean Winchester, or Tulio from Road to El Dorado

C’mon, I’ll give you a boost. It’s the least I could do after you saved me from those chumps. Though I should probably learn your name if you're about to start straddling my neck. I'm Lydia. (grunts) Loosen your legs a touch though, don't want you to choke me. Good thing I’m not a dashing male protagonist, or you might enjoy that.
… Well now I gotta check without the trademarked Ubwerks filter of whimsical delusion… (beat) (terrified) You know, I like to think of myself as someone who can admit when she's wrong. That's a walking pirate skeleton.
Look Bones, 9 times out of 10, the killer is whoever has the most to gain from the Mutiny. You’ve got a first mate who's being crowned Captain right about now. Done, fork over the dough.
