The Crying Child Series
CodyInk for Nina
Nina
Voice Type: Female, teen–young adult range
Tone: Emotional, unstable beneath the surface, sincere
Accent: Neutral preferred
Nina is lonely, obsessive, and emotionally desperate to feel important. She clings to stories of killers and monsters because they make her feel seen in a world where she’s always felt invisible.
Unlike others who were dragged into darkness, Nina actively romanticizes it. She wants to become part of something bigger—even if it destroys her in the process.
At first, she can come across as friendly, awkward, or even energetic. But underneath that is someone slowly losing their grip on who they really are.
The unsettling part of Nina is not that she’s “crazy”—it’s that her emotions are completely genuine.
🎭 Performance Direction:- Emotional and natural delivery
- Avoid exaggerated “crazy girl” acting
- Nina should sound human first
- Moments of instability should feel emotional, not cartoonish
- She can switch from soft → intense very quickly
- Slight desperation underneath certain lines is important
Nina should feel like someone searching for identity and belonging through darkness—not someone trying to act scary.
The horror comes from how sincere she is.
- female young adult
(soft, introspective, emotionally honest) “Do you know what it feels like to disappear in a room full of people?”
(calm at first, growing slightly bitter toward the end) “People only notice blood after it’s on the floor.”
(trying to sound playful, but there’s something emotionally wrong underneath it) “Maybe monsters are just people who got tired of pretending.”
