Earth, Again
Vera Valenti for Liv
16, any ethnicity, she/her, observant and quietly fierce.
Liv is the narrator and emotional center of the series. She was four years old when a surgeon implanted a pacemaker in her chest, and six when the world ended. Now sixteen, she keeps a voice-over journal that opens and closes many episodes. Liv is not fragile, but everyone treats her like she is — she's the reason they're riding, the ticking clock they can't stop checking. She is pulled between her father's belief in ambition, Mira's belief in restraint, and her own belief in survival. She watches, she listens, and when she finally speaks, it matters. Daughter of Robert. The person the whole trip is for.
(All 10 episodes, ~896 dialogue blocks including V.O. narration. Lead role.)
There’s a calendar on our kitchen wall with a red circle on it. We don’t talk about it, but we both know what it means. There’s a clock inside me, ticking down, and it’s the one thing in this world I’m not allowed to fix.
But right now - this is the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me. And nobody's even doing anything. It's just - the world. Being big.
No. Listen. She's got three horses packed with gear. And five guns is a lot better than two. 'Always trust the math', right?
