Main Character | Liesl White | Presenting 17 y.o. Male

Liesl is the son of Snow White and one of the most recognizable legacy students at Everspell. He grew up under enormous expectations because of his family name, and everyone already has an idea of who he’s supposed to be.

He’s kind, thoughtful, and generally tries to do what’s expected of him, but he’s more perceptive than people give him credit for. He’s drawn to Kariyna because she’s one of the few people who doesn’t seem to care about the story everyone has already written for him. His feelings develop slowly, especially as he begins questioning the expectations placed on him.

Voice directions: A medium vocal tone with a gentle, somewhat reserved quality. His voice should feel warm and thoughtful without becoming overly soft. He should be capable of sounding confident when needed, but there should always be an underlying sense of someone who thinks carefully before he speaks.

1. Calm / Thoughtful

"People think knowing your story makes everything easier. It doesn't. It just means everyone already has an opinion about you before you've even opened your mouth. They look at my name and think they know who I am. Sometimes I wonder what they'd think if they actually listened."

2. Lighthearted / Teasing

"You're seriously going to sneak into the restricted archive wearing that? Kariyna, I'm not judging you. I'm just saying that if we're going to break school rules, maybe we shouldn't look like we're actively announcing that we're breaking school rules."

3. Frustrated / Angry

"I'm tired of hearing what I'm supposed to be. I'm supposed to be kind. I'm supposed to be brave. I'm supposed to be perfect. I'm supposed to be Snow White's son, so apparently I have to spend my entire life proving that I'm worthy of the name. What if I don't want to be any of those things?"

4. Vulnerable / Sincere

"I know what it feels like to have people decide who you are before they know you. That's why I believe you. Maybe I don't understand everything you're saying yet, but... I believe that something happened to your family. And if you want to find out what it was, you shouldn't have to do it alone."

5. Urgent / Protective

"Kariyna, listen to me. Whatever is behind that door doesn't want you to find it. That's obvious. But we can still find out why. Just—promise me you won't run in there alone. Whatever happens next, we're doing this together."
