The Dreary Orphanage: Fairytale Puppet Film (Chapter One)
Wang Lee Chi Chi for Ms. Mag
Voice: (Woman, elderly, toxically maternal and decrepit.) I'm accepting women and men for this role! Ms. Mag sounds like a sickly-sweet grandmother with condescending undertones and a croaking rasp to the highest degree. A complete decrepit old witch. Her voice should fluctuate between her sweet facade and vulture-esque demeanor.
Character Description:
The greedy guardian at the Dreary Orphanage. She’s a hunched older lady with a sharp, wrinkled face and ice-cold eyes that lie above her deceiving grandmotherly smile. She wears floral-patterned dresses, and far too much blush and lipstick, which only highlights the scowl etched into her pattered face. Ms Mag’s crooked bony fingers protrude a set of false clawed nails, and her flowery garments cover her knobby twig-like legs.
Personality: Bitter, controlling, and mean, Ms. Mag runs the orphanage with an iron fist. She’s obsessed with order and silence, punishing any child who dares to break her rules. No noise and no nonsense. She refers to herself in the third person with a sweetly condescending tone, as though the children need to be reminded of her title. She’s obsessed with upholding her reputation and scavenges wealth, even taking precious marketable trinkets from the children. Ms Mag enjoys knitting, classic novels, and discourages rash behavior.

Silence you! Ms. Mag will not tolerate your rubbish. Keep this up and I’ll throw that disgusting rat in the bin. Humphrey, isn’t it?
You will not speak while Ms. Mag is speaking! You rotten, pathetic, disrespectful boy — just like your sister, you are. I’ll have you know you ought to be more appreciative of my housing while you’re here, eh? ‘Cause I don’t expect you’ll be leaving anytime soon! Who else would take in a feeble brat like you? Abandoned, weren’t you? And who took you in? Who fed you and gave you a roof? Ms. Mag did. Now, what’ve you to say for yourself, Henry?
