The Crying Child Series
Poison for Jane Arkensaw
Jane (Jane Arkensaw / Jane the Killer)
Role Type: Major Supporting Character / Anti-Hero
Voice Type: Medium to medium-low female; emotionally layered, capable of sounding warm and compassionate one moment and intensely determined the next.
Accent: Neutral English accent preferred, though any clear accent is welcome.
Jane is a woman defined by tragedy, revenge, and the struggle to hold onto her humanity.
After losing everything to violence, she devoted her life to hunting monsters and punishing those who prey on the innocent. Beneath her cold exterior is someone deeply wounded, burdened by guilt and hatred. She can be ruthless and terrifying when confronting her enemies, but with children and people she trusts, Jane reveals a surprisingly gentle, protective side.
Her voice should carry emotional depth. She is not loud for the sake of being loud—her strength comes from conviction. When she speaks about justice or revenge, every word should feel personal. When she comforts others, there should be warmth and sincerity.
