The Crying Child Series
Caitlyn Alfaro for Jenny
Jenny
Role Type: Supporting Character / Former Friend / Tragic Manipulator
Voice Type: Medium female voice; intelligent, warm, and approachable on the surface, with an undercurrent of calculation and obsession.
Accent: Neutral English accent preferred, though any clear accent is welcome.
Jenny is the kind of person who seems harmless at first.
Friendly, curious, and academically driven, she comes across as a smart college student with a passion for mythology and the occult. She has a natural warmth that makes people trust her easily. But beneath that welcoming exterior lies a far more complicated truth.
Whether driven by ambition, obsession, or misguided belief, Jenny becomes entangled in forces beyond her control. Her fascination with ancient myths and forbidden knowledge causes her to manipulate others, even if she convinces herself that her actions are for a greater purpose.
The actor should balance two sides of Jenny:
- A genuine, friendly and intelligent young woman.
- A colder, more calculating figure willing to use others to achieve her goals.
- Intelligent
- Charismatic
- Curious
- Secretive
- Morally conflicted
- Warm and engaging in casual conversation.
- Excited and passionate when discussing research.
- More distant and unsettling when her true motives begin to show.
- Capable of subtle manipulation without sounding overtly villainous.
1. Friendly / Approachable “Hey there! My friend Mark is in your biology class, and he told me about you.”
