-Supporting Character-
Character Description:Moriah Wood is the devoted mother of Lynx (already cast). Moriah is really pregnant and is very ill. She lives in a very poor household alongside her injured husband, Dave, and her elderly mother-in-law, Abby. Moriah’s past is marked by loss, as her entire family perished during the war. Despite the struggles her family faces, including poverty and her son’s descent into stealing to help make ends meet, Moriah remains a loving, kind-hearted, and resilient mother.
Her unwavering concern for Lynx drives much of her actions, as she constantly worries about his safety and the path he’s taken. Moriah is the glue holding her family together, providing emotional support while enduring immense hardship herself.
Voice Description:Moriah’s voice should embody a gentle and caring nature, with a soft and warm tone that conveys her love and nurturing spirit. There should be a subtle layer of weariness in her voice, reflecting the heavy burdens she carries, but it should never overpower the hope and kindness that define her character. Her voice should evoke comfort, compassion, and quiet strength, resonating with her role as a mother who never gives up on her family, even in the darkest times.
