Murder Drones: Overture Audiobook
Shadamylover95 for Nori Doorman
Uzi's mother, Khan's wife, and the impetus behind both characters' actions and conflicts. She sacrificed herself to save her family seven years prior to the events of the story. Unlike canon, Nori is permanently dead here, but she plays a very important role in the setting's backstory. She appears in flashbacks.
In terms of role, Nori only has one scene, but her impact on the plot and characters is significant. Darcy Maguire is a good frame of reference for Nori's voice. Characteristics for the voice include motherly, confident, loving, accepting, and warm.
CONTEXT:
- Line 1: Nori is cradling her toddler-shaped daughter, attempting to soothe her despite the perilous situation they're in. Murder Drones are pursuing them and Nori realizes she'll have to stay behind to buy her family time to escape. Uzi is worried about her mother, so Nori attempts to assure her that everything will be okay... knowing she's about to die.
- Line 2: Nori has just told Khan to go on without her. He has to take Uzi and run to the colony. Her leg is injured so she'll only slow them down. Khan doesn't want to do this. This is his wife, and they have to stay together as a family. But Nori is urging, pleading with Khan to do this one thing and go. Nothing else matters to her in this moment but the safety of her family.
- Line 3: Nori has resigned herself to her fate. She's going to stay behind and fight, knowing it will result in her death. But her family will be safe, and that's all that matters. She's issuing a final goodbye to Khan in this moment. They were happily married for years. They had a daughter she won't live to see grow up. As unfair as the situation is, she doesn't regret any of it. She gives Khan a final kiss and thanks him for everything they did together before sending him away to meet her death head on.

(comforting) Mommy is okay, sweetie. Be brave for daddy, alright?
(insistent) Khan! You and Uzi are all that matter. As long as you're safe, I'll be okay.
(quiet, heartfelt) I love you, Khan. Thanks for, like... everything.
I've heard your Nori before! I remember seeing it in a comic dub about Uzi's "Uncle Han" and found your performance very entertaining. Color me surprised to see you submitting for this! I particularly liked the soft deliveries of Lines A and C. It really captures that motherly feel, as well as the resigned expression. I hope the context tags helped! Thank you for auditioning!
Of course! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to audition! Also i’m glad you liked my performance as Nori in the Uzi’s uncle comic dub! ^^
