Francesca “Mochi” Marietta

Blue Survey Officer — Wayfinding

At 4’10”, Mochi is the smallest member of Unit 93 and easily its most reserved. She’s bashful, meticulous, private, and prone to worrying that she’s slowing everybody else down. She’d generally prefer not to be the center of attention and can become adorably flustered when somebody makes her one.

As a Wayfinding Officer, she also the person responsible for making sure Unit 93 actually gets where it’s going.

Mochi’s gentleness shouldn’t be mistaken for helplessness. Beneath her anxious exterior is a remarkably persistent young woman who chose a profession requiring her to cross an enormous world on foot. She notices details, takes her responsibilities seriously, and possesses a quiet stubbornness that becomes much more apparent once she’s pushed.

Her friendship with Selma and Dido gradually gives her somewhere safe enough to become sillier, grouchier, braver, and more openly affectionate.

Vocal direction: Soft, youthful, sincere, and somewhat timid without sounding infantile. Mochi is a young adult, not a child. Her comedy works best when played naturally. Little hesitations, muttered objections, tiny flashes of indignation, and her more serious moments require genuine emotional weight.
