My Friend Blue
Maria Neblett VA for Voice Actor - Penny
Voice Actor - Penny
Penny is a non-speaking autistic child. While she doesn’t have lines, the character still vocalizes, shrieks when she’s scared, and stims throughout the episode. A young performer on the autism spectrum is STRONGLY preferred for this role.
She is reserved, but curious, and has a “free” quality about her resulting from an abundance of supportive and loving adults in her life and a complete absence of cruelty. Despite not speaking words, she should be able to show a range of emotions including excitement, fear, doubt, boredom, lost-in-thought “stimming”, and overflowing joy.
