ABOUT HER

Minnie was a sanitation worker and a part time bouncer. She got into ghosts when her brother got murdered simply for being a film star. She wants to connect with her brother, find who did it and finally put his weary soul to rest. Minnie has herself a girlfriend she cherishes, named Lina. (Tatted on her arm!) Lina is just as much of a ghost lover as Minnie. And while Minnie loves that she tries to help her contact her brother..It doesn’t really end up working. 

Minnie became friends with Tilly but it wasn’t right away. 

You see, they actually met after she threw Tilly out of a dance club for “partying too hard”. Tilly drunkenly stood off to the side, waiting for the bouncers to switch shifts so she could sneak back in. Well, just as she stood there, she’d actually seen someone coming from the back to stab Minnie. Tilly jumped in and shot the guy. Who was this mysterious attempted assassin? The Projectionist. He was shocked, but ultimately just laughed the bullet wound off before running away like a maniac. Minnie says she owes Tilly big time. Tilly said it was fine but Minnie insisted. Tilly said “Well why don’t you just be a friend of mine? And at least let me have one more drink.” and Minnie said okay.

Well..We know that Clark does the spirit box talkin’, Tilly takes the pictures and checks for clues, well what does Minnie do? Minnie actually catches the ghosts and sets the traps. She, similar to Tilly, usually carries a book with different ghost types and checks which one they’re dealing with based on clues. Then she gets the traps and rituals ready and ensures all exorcisms go smoothly.

PERSONALITY

Minnie is very serious and sarcastic, but underneath all that she's really soft and sweet. She can be very blunt at times and very literal. She's like the mom of the group. Clark is either getting them jumped and Tilly is too busy taking notes and planning an escape meanwhile, the answer is probably just jumping out of a window. Minnie is just as interested in the paranormal as her buddies. 

Example: "Look sir. I'm not trying to pry, but honestly it seems like you called us here to bring your wife back from her ghostly slumber so you can..What? Yes. Okay "gaze upon her lovingly". We don't really do requests like that. Look man..We have a no ghostfuckers rule. Well I'm sorry?? Do you fuck ghosts?? You look like you fuck ghosts sir, I apologize!!"

HER VOICE

Minnie has a pretty deep voice for a woman, it can be gruff at times. She doesn't really have any accent I know of, but if you have any in mind, do give her one! I'd love any interpretation, just as long as things can be heard clearly for the audience's sake!

YOU!!

You can read the little example up there or you can read the audition lines or you could even improv based on the info if you'd like. Go nuts. Want to make her ask her girlfriend to stop talking to haunted items and inviting their presence in their home? Or have her react to an ugly ghost? Absolutely go for it. I’m all ears. Improv is always appreciated and helps in your consideration here, especially if it's funny, true to the character, and you did your homework! I'd love if you could be as intense as you can.
