Female backup
I don't think anyone's seen it, so just sending this so people see that I added another main female backup - Amanda.
Hi! Jess here and I'm back with more Cyclist auditions! These ones are for the season 7, 8, and 9!
All episodes for the series will be released here:

Discord server here:
The FINAL deadline for the Season 7 characters is the 22nd November 11:59pm GMT. They will be casted on the 23rd or 24th hopefully, this is due to the S7E1 script being released on the 20th November, with the trailer script being out on the 6th November too. For the S8/S9 characters and the musician (since neither S8 or musician will be needed until mid February - and S9 is even later) I may give longer, but this all depends on if I have enough auditions to decide or if I would like more before casting.
NOTE that the S8 and S9 characters could stay open until 15th December, NO later :) If they're still open feel free to audition, I'll keep extending the deadline
BLURB (For S7. the S8 one won't be released until the end of S7 due to massive spoilers):
Ford, Freddie, Johnny, Eve, and Delayney are going on a road trip, what could possibly go wrong?
Everything could.
They certainly didn’t bargain on all the arguments – Ford is trying to hold everyone together; he doesn’t want anyone’s relationships to break up.
And the last thing Freddie expects to find is a note in the glove box of his car saying that Callia’s still alive. Is that just a rumour – or is that true? And does she still want Freddie’s life?
But Callia’s not the only problem. It seems that nothing can go right for these five – especially since almost everyone knows who they are. Callia might not be the only one who wants them dead...
And if Ford wants to save Freddie, he might have to make the biggest decision of his life which could have devastating consequences for everyone else...
Apologies the image quality of the characters is less than my other auditions, CCC stopped accepting SVGs (the images original form) and converting to PNG decreases the quality significantly.
Recast characters are at the bottom - other than that it's in order of lead to side.
Note that this may sound like a really innocent story based on the title, well let me tell you it's not. It's called The Cyclist because S1 and S2 were based around cyclists and I wasn't going to change the name, but there's a lot of very sensitive topics and quite a bit of blood in this. (Please note there are topics of suicide but I believe only Paisley and Presley really have anything to do with that storyline from these auditions :)) There is NO swearing though (or anything sexual for that matter, the furthest I go with romance is a kiss and it's not very graphic either), so if you are not comfortable with swearing then don't worry because I'm not either :)
Thumbnail from left to right: Freddie, Ford, Delayney, Johnny, Eve
If you have business plan and can see whether something has been viewed, please note I listen to ALL voice auditions AFTER the deadline. I don't interact with them before as I prefer to do them all at once, so please don't be worried if there's no green tick.
Note: I generally change the deadline every 24 hours. The deadline will always be either 5pm, 8pm, or 11pm GMT. I usually prefer to do 8pm GMT and did in the past, but often that's not possible as I have so many evening clubs now, so it'll be 8pm GMT when it can be, otherwise it'll be 5pm or 11pm.
I don't think anyone's seen it, so just sending this so people see that I added another main female backup - Amanda.
I've casted most of the actors, I think I still have 5 roles open. I will be casting Levi VERY soon I just haven't had the chance so please if you're planning to audition get it in very quickly. I'm still hoping for more musician auditions, and I need auditions for my British female Lena's backup since she only currently has two. If you were not chosen as a backup or main for one of the casted characters it is recommended that you do not remove your audition because I had shortlists and if for a character it didn't work out with the mains or the backups (Livie has had 15 actors as an example-) then I could look at my shortlists and return to the auditions. It happened with my S6 character Max: the main decided to leave my discord server and the backup wasn't active, so I returned to the auditions and asked someone from my shortlist to play him - they're still playing him now. I will cast the S9 characters in due time :)
The final deadline for S7 characters (including the recast characters) is Thursday 22nd November 11:59pm GMT. I've started listening to auditions now and noting them down. I will be casting the recast characters and S7 characters first. If a character is still open and hasn't been assigned yet but it's later than the 22nd November feel free to still audition as I will listen if I see it in time, but be aware any time after the 22nd November a character can get casted. I will not be assigning any characters before the 22nd (except Rose and Freddie if I WANT to because those are slightly urgent). Don't forget to audition! :D Good luck everyone! :D
Unfortunately, my second lead (deuteragonist) dropped out and I URGENTLY (by urgently you'd be starting from S7E1 I think, but the second lead is obviously the second most important character) need someone, however I'm pretty anxious as only having had 4 actors and all sounding pretty similar I have a very specific voice in mind. He'll be added within the few hours (since im currently not at home but I'll try) and be under Presley so he's the first male people see. I'm really hoping you'll audition for him...thank you <3333

Importance: Lead
Accent: Any (I'm honestly not bothered as long as you fit her character, she is only related to Presley, so she's not related to any characters who currently have an actor)
Voice: Medium-High
Personality: Paisley may come off as a naive, over-excitable, and bouncy girl, but in reality she's quite smart, she just prefers to hide it. She's kind and loving. Although she's not got any relation towards Ford, she cares about him a lot, and wants to help him.
First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 3
Paisley is Presley's half sister, who she shares the same mother with. She appears for the first time alongside her sister Presley in the cafe - who'd asked her to wait in the car, which Paisley had pretty much refused. Paisley actually becomes very useful to the group, because whilst Freddie, Ford, and their friends are on a road trip, Presley is trying to find out what "Julia" is doing, since she is working for Callia. Paisley is the one who remembers who Julia's brother is (her diving/swimming instructor) and manages to prise the truth out of him, hence helping everyone out. Later on, she also pretends to Julia on the phone to be Callia's best friend Stacey, hence leading to Julia leaking her location to Paisley who then passes on the information to Sabrina who can then in turn warn Eve.
Paisley is a lead character.
Yes, so that I can get a good feel for your voice, there are 6 lines, just follow the numbers :) Paisley has a lot of long lines, as well as some shorter ones too. Three quite hefty lines are included to make sure I know you can record long lines, line 6 is probably somewhere close to the longest line length she will have so you have an idea.
1. " Let me introduce myself. Paisley, I’m Presley’s half-sister who is Callia’s half-sister, please Rose, I need to talk to Sabrina, PLEASEEEE. " *practically begging* 2. "You shouldn’t take your friends for granted though Ford, they could be here one minute and not here the next, like your dad, he was here one day and the next day he wasn’t. You couldn’t have anticipated that. And if Julia wants Freddie’s life then you need to protect him – be there for him. And you might not have much time left. Everyone will do their best to protect him, but you need to treasure your time with him – not waste it. " *being very serious*
3. " Don’t you think he’s been through enough trauma Ford? Don't you think he needs you most? " *trying to reason with Ford* 4. " If you were truly hurt would you really hurt others and allow them to feel that pain? Or maybe you’re so mad that you felt pain that you want revenge? " *trying to reason with Julia, make her see what she's doing*
5. " DELAYNEY!!! " *panicked, scared, worried* 6. " I went to therapy. I was so against the idea, but Presley was adamant it would help me. And I never looked back because the therapy was the best thing I could ever have done. It helped me come to terms with my sister and my dad’s death, and also helped me see that it wasn’t my fault and I shouldn’t blame myself because the only person I was hurting by doing that was myself. " *attempting to empathise with Freddie over something he said, opening up about her life*

Voice: Medium-Low
Personality: Presley is quite a quiet girl who secretly wants to bring her half-sister down. Throughout season six she's technically in the background trying to protect Freddie from Callia, with Max's help, but they don't meet her until season seven when she enters the cafe after Max and shows her face to Sabrina, Mitzie, and Amanda. She prefers to stay under the radar and out of the limelight.
First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 3
Presley is Paisley's half sister, who she shares the same mother with. Presley is also the half sister of Max and Callia who she shares the same dad with, but their dad wasn't a great person. She appears for the first time alongside her half sister Paisley in the cafe. She explains to Sabrina how much she's been looking into Callia. Eventually, she ends up helping Freddie greatly, especially by breaking into Callia's security room, where she's able to see cameras of Callia's current location and what she's doing at the time, so obviously Callia's security room isn't secure enough.
1. " I’ve known all this time she was up to something, I’ve always known. " *blunt, explaining, about Callia*
2. " Please, call us if you need ANYTHING, we’ll be here. " *kind, reassuring*
3. " FORD?! " *shocked, surprised* 4. " Yes, you’ll have to live with the guilt, but you need to live for the people that weren’t allowed to live. They didn’t deserve to die, and neither do you. They wouldn’t want you to die. They would want you to make them proud. Somewhere up there, I’m sure everyone you love that you’ve lost is watching you. " *trying to be convincing*

Voice: Low/Deep
Personality: Freddie is a lead character, he's best friends with the main lead, Ford, who he just wants the best for and would do anything to protect him. He's kind and sweet, but he can be quite grumpy and standoffish at times. He usually only opens up to Ford. Often he's the quietest one in the friendship group and often responds to questions using one word answers.
First Appearance: Season 3 Episode 1
All Freddie wants is for Ford to be happy. He'd do anything for Ford, which includes hiding a horrible secret that Cara blackmailed him to keep, or else she'd hurt Ford, which ends up in Freddie being seriously hurt in a fire. Freddie also hangs around with Eve Tyler a lot, who loves him, and he wants to ignore her but realises he can't. Freddie hates his mother, Amy, due to her alcoholism, and wants to protect his sister from her. When Freddie first debuted in the Cyclist he was quite mean to Ford to try and protect Lilliana (his sister), but when Lilliana gets pushed off a bridge he is forced to talk to Ford and they end up becoming best friends - Ford is also Freddie's first ever proper friend. After this, Freddie will do anything to stop Ford getting hurt, including having to take very drastic measures at the end of season five that could have deadly consequences for him. Due to his massive decision in season 5, Callia wants him dead and Freddie's main focus is making sure Ford's okay, rather than himself, which ends up in hurting Ford. Except nothing can break up their friendship...apart from death... and Ford's determined to not let anything happen to Freddie.
Just a quick note I did do auditions for Freddie's backup 4 months ago that I never casted, so if when casted it either says casted offsite or someone who didn't audition here, that's why, and that wouldn't be unfair because the person would've auditioned too <3
1. " You idiot! You could’ve got yourself killed! " *frustrated* 2. " And you’ve been here all of 5 minutes and you know everything about me, do you?! " *grumpy, annoyed*
3. " Well not really. People have to earn my trust. Ford and Johnny earned my trust. Eve earned my trust. Lilliana broke my trust. Which category do you want to be in? You’ve broken my trust so currently you’re in that category, but...that can always change, if /you/ want to change. " *hurt but understanding* 4. " EVE? EVEEEEEE- " *upset, shocked*
5. " You’re still alive...I never killed you, but one day SOMEONE will succeed, but that day isn’t today. " *annoyed, a little nervous* 6. " I left you once – at the gas station – worst mistake of my life, I’m NEVER leaving you again. " *with sheer determination*

Personality: Julia may seem sweet on the outside - but that's just her very convincing act. Inside, she's a sadistic criminal, and is not afraid to draw blood - especially Freddie's...or someone else's...
First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 2
Julia is one of Callia's minions, and will do absolutely anything to support her. However, she's actually revealed to be quite naive, especially when she's seen to believe that Paisley is Callia's best friend. Julia has two siblings - Vanessa (who will literally follow Julia around like a puppy, not knowing any better), and Levi who is literally estranged from her, until Paisley begs for his help against Julia. Julia's extremely angry when she finds out about this though since she doesn't want her brother Levi involved, and the fact that Levi's been hiding a secret about her that no one knows... and the truth could ruin everything...
" DON’T get in my way, you don’t want to know what the consequences of that would be. " *frustrated, threatening*
" Do you think you’re better than /me/ Ford?! Because let’s be clear, you’re not. I might not be a good person, but no one is completely good, I’m sure you’ve done things you’re not proud of! " *annoyed*
" Well it’s a shame you won’t be alive to tell anyone. " *sadistic, evil*

First Appearance: Season 9 Episode 4
Victor is first introduced as being very protective towards Delayney after an accident that had happened. Freddie and Ford question Delayney about this and when Delayney is annoyed they tell her that Victor just wants to protect her.
" Delayney, you forgot your jacket. " *caring, reminding*
" Look, Delayney, last time there was an entire explosion, are you sure about this? I don't want anything to happen to you... " *worried, very protective*

First Appearance: Season 9 Episode 6
Josie is first introduced through dialogue as Victor's long distance girlfriend (although not mentioned why), except Victor has no idea she'd just arrived back from Australia, and bumps into Freddie, asking him to show her the way to Victor's house (which as soon as she mentions Delayney he knows). Freddie, at the time, is currently in quite a stressed state, and Josie manages to calm him down and is very kind to him about the current situation.
" I’m so sorry- Uh, I wasn’t looking where I was going, and you kind of look like you were daydreaming. " *apologetic and genuine*
" You seem...preoccupied, should I go? " *questioning, a little awkward and uncomfortable*
" Victor, your sister is thirteen; you can’t watch her every move, and you can’t control her. She’s old enough to make her own decisions and if she ends up making a mistake she can learn from that mistake. We only learn by making mistakes, and if you’re going to be this protective of Delayney then she’ll never learn some of these lessons. And if Eve doesn’t hurt Delayney then wouldn’t you feel guilty for not letting Delayney see her? " *calmly, but firmly*

Personality: Levi hates his oldest sister, and his the complete opposite of her. Levi is caring and understanding, but will get angry when anyone mentions his sister, which is why for years he's kept his family a secret, until Paisley asks him.
First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 3
Levi is Paisley's diving and swimming instructor, and has been giving Paisley lessons for years, except she had no idea - until now - that he's the older brother of a wanted criminal. Levi wants nothing to do with Julia and at first he won't comment when Paisley brings it up - at least until she tells him Julia is taunting her friends, which Levi knows is bad and tells her she needs to do something and now if she wants them to remain alive. After all, he knows what Julia can do better than anyone...
" Who’s Julia? " *trying to keep up an act, trying to be convincing*
" She’s good at covering stuff up, and as long as there’s no witnesses she’ll do the same if she kills your friends. She knew I knew, so she blackmailed me that if I dared to say a word she’d kill Vanessa. Her own sister- I mean. " *upset, angry*
" I don’t think I can stay quiet for much longer though... " *genuine, worried*

Personality: Dove is an extremely kind individual and has always wanted to help people which is why she decided to become a therapist - although she's never met someone as broken as Freddie before, and helping Freddie is her biggest challenge.
First Appearance: Season 9 Episode 3
Freddie must be so traumatised at this point so he literally needs this therapist...
Anyway, Dove's main role is to be Freddie's therapy, and she helps a lot with his recovery process after everything that's happened.
" That’s something that you have to live with; you might not want to talk about it, but others might do, and everyone grieves in a different way, Freddie. Ford is grieving too, and talking about her might make him feel better, you can’t dispute that. " *caring, understanding*
" That’s natural, Freddie. And it’s /okay/ to feel like that. If you love someone, you love them, that’s not a feeling you can help. Just because Eve hurt you it doesn’t make it easier, and you won’t automatically stop loving her. " *caring*
" That’s an excellent mindset to have. You shouldn’t worry about the things you cannot control. " *caring, genuine advice*
Age: 13
Gender: Female
Importance: Tertiary/Side

First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 3
Vanessa is Julia's sister, always following her around, to the dismay of her older brother Levi. However, although shown Vanessa is naive, she eventually starts to catch on, and instantly sets out to find Levi and tell him what's really going on.

" Like she’ll tell me, she knows I’ll go straight to you, she doesn’t trust me anymore. "
Age: 43
Gender: Female
Importance: Side
Accent: Any for now but would make sense if she had the same accent as Paisley and Presley
Voice: Medium
Personality: Cheyenne cares deeply for her daughters Paisley and Presley, she's very motherly and very protective of her daughters, however she's not restrictive in the sense she doesn't restrict their freedom because she understands they're young and need to enjoy life, so she's quite lenient on boundaries and what her daughters get up to.
First Appearance: Season 7 Episode 5
She shares the surname with Paisley's father who isn't Presley's father.
Her main purpose is to support Paisley and Presley, she cares deeply about them and is often see encouraging them or telling them to make sure to be careful, but not in a patronising way and not in a way that restricts them. She's also seen on the phone to Paisley when things start going wrong.
" Please, Presley, just be careful, and look after Paisley too. " *motherly, quite calm*
" Ford, this is going to be one of the hardest times of your life, but you don’t want to make it worse do you? You need to keep your friends close and don’t take anything for granted. " *kind, caring, understanding*
"Presley, where on earth is Paisley?! Is she okay?! What's happening?! What did Ford say? " *panicked and most definitely not calm*

Personality: Ellis is a loving father and like Tallulah, wants the best for his two children. However, he has a much firmer grip on discipline than Tallulah does.
First Appearance: Season 8 Episode 6
Ellis is surprised when Lena to starts acting out, especially after what she said about Freddie. However, he will do anything to protect his family, Tommy - and Freddie, even when he gets to the point that Freddie has to risk his life because of what Lena's doing. But Ellis will do anything to keep him safe.
" Lena. DON’T talk to your mother like that. Tell me, where have you been? " *firm*
" Please, Ford, we want to know what our daughter has been up to, she’s barely been home lately, and she usually comes back extremely late at night, it’s rather worrying. " *questioning*

Personality: Tallulah is a kind and loving mother and wants the best for her two children, however when everything goes wrong she has no idea what to do
First Appearance: Season 8 Episode 6
Tallulah is introduced when her daughter Lena starts acting out. She doesn't understand why Lena feels like this, but she wants to. It gets to the point where she has to ask Freddie (her nephew) to look after Tommy, during Lena's "acting out" phase.
" Lena, where have you been?! You’re covered in blood! "
" WHAT?! " *shock, disbelief*
" Don't worry Freddie, I promise it'll be okay. " *comforting, understanding*
S7E6
I can't really give much of a description here as he only appears as a one-off gas station owner when Freddie and Ford need help, meaning he won't have any character development as he's an extra.
" Are you looking for your friends? " *trying to be helpful*
I took most of the stuff from the season five auditions, also voice reference is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26b5o5-FPVQ&t=225s (should automatically start on Mitzie's line, she's the female with the slightly deeper voice though, as Amanda's is much higher, and the other character is Freddie who is obviously the British one)
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Importance: Main
Accent: I mean, my former actor is American so probably that
Voice: Medium-Low
Personality: Mitzie definitely knows her own mind. She's very independent and head strong. She's also extremely determined to make Eve listen to her, no matter what it takes. She never gives up. I want this to be reflected in her voice
First Appearance: Season 5 Episode 1
Mitzie is a girl from Eve, Cara, and Freddie's past. She shows up unannounced after Freddie just almost got burned alive in a fire. And Eve wants to do everything in her power to stop Mitzie from talking to Freddie, since she doesn't want Freddie to be reminded of the past during his recovery. Except with Mitzie's sheer determination that won't be very possible. Although, Freddie is actually quite annoyed since he had no idea that there was more to his past (that he didn't even know about). Mitzie, though, wants to get through to Freddie, and also wants to make amends to Eve. She won't stop until she achieves want she wants. In the end, she helps lead a rescue mission by driving some of her new friends to where they need to go.
Mitzie is a main character.
" I just want to reconcile with Eve; she doesn’t want to know me. " *sadly*
" WHAT?! EVE?! " *shocked, panicked*
" She is going to get herself killed, I’ll go with her. " *protective, kind*

Personality: Livie is quite kind and understanding, but she has quite a temper and can lash out at any given moment. She can have quite an attitude.
First Appearance: Season 2 Episode 1
Livie was the one who helped Ford during S2 when his family were arguing. She helped him escape from the house and that's when their friendship started. Ever since then Livie's made appearances generally when needed to help Ford get out of a sticky situation. She's always there for him - after everything he's done for her. Livie defended Ford against Yvonne, and then against Callia too. She's extremely loyal towards him, but she's also a voice of reason too. Sometimes when Ford's not thinking straight or rationally, she'll try and make him see sense, whether it works is another matter.
" I can't say I don't, but I want them both to be happy and I can see that they aren't. " *almost wistfully*
" Never ever take happiness for granted, Courtney because you never know when your happiness will be taken away from you, it can happen so unexpectedly, so unexpectedly your life can be torn to pieces. " *actually being genuine*
" I know, and I'm sorry, I brushed you off like you meant nothing to me, but I care about you Ford and I will do everything in my power to protect you and Freddie. " *caring, apologetic*

Importance: Main
Accent: American/Canadian, though I'm not too bothered as long as you sound like a mother - like Rose, I haven't posted references since she's had quite a few voice actors, but what I mean is I just need to be able to see you as playing Rose
Voice: Medium
Personality: Rose is very motherly and cares deeply for her son, Ford (and her daughter Amber who isn't on screen much). She wants the best for Ford, and will do anything to keep him safe. She also cares a lot for Freddie and will protect him too.
First Appearance: Season 2 Episode 1
Rose is a main character who doesn't technically serve the actual main plot, but being the mother of one of the two lead characters (as well as the guardian for the other lead character) she appears in almost every episode, with the line counts ranging from about 1 to 25.
Rose started in season two, shown as someone who cared about her two children. However this did deteriorate throughout the course of season three as she started to miss her husband Nate, who had been murdered nine years prior by Rose's sister Yvonne. She started a relationship with Ford's friend's dad (Nico) who Ford did trust but was certainly not a fan of the relationship which caused him and his mother to not get on well. Rose was also reluctant to let Ford's cousin Rayalynn stay with them, however Rayalynn has lived with them ever since and is often the voice of reason amidst all the problems Ford faces. In the end, Ford's best friend's mother, Lilah, hosted Ford's birthday party because Rose didn't even seem to care. At the end of season three Ford becomes friends with Freddie although Rose isn't happy about this considering the things Freddie has said before. It's a quarter into season four that Rose and Ford make it up. Rose explains many things about Ford's Auntie Yvonne which makes Ford realise that he can probably trust his mother again. Except, this leads to many problems between Ford and Johnny because Johnny yells at him for trusting Rose again, and ends up with Ford refusing to trust anyone except Freddie, and he even yells at Rose why he ever trusted her again. Later on, at the end of season four, after Freddie is in a really bad fire, Ford cautiously approaches Rose and asks her if Freddie can move in with them, to which Rose agrees instantly to Ford's surprise - until Ford and Rayalynn realise that Rose just wants to make it up to Ford. Freddie's been living with them ever since, and Rose treats him like one of her own, just like Freddie's own mother never did. Throughout season five, Rose's main role she plays is trying to protect Ford and Freddie by forbidding them to leave the house because she knows Yvonne's on a blood thirsty rampage. In the end though she decides this is bad idea, especially after Ford keeps sneaking out, partly to rebel because he's so annoyed by the boundaries. Now, Rose's main role in the show is to always be there for Ford, which she is, so as said she doesn't serve the main plot, like she's not in the action, but she's always there because she's Ford's mother, and she's always there to get them out of a sticky situation.
" This is the first time ANY of you have been away from your home without an adult, but Freddie, you’re in charge, so just call me if you need ANYTHING. " *motherly, protective, a little anxious*
" I was expecting you about 9pm, it’s almost half past midnight now! " *frustrated and annoyed*
" I know Freddie...I know...I wish I could make your pain go away, but I can’t do that. However, I do think that Ford’s right, talking about it is a good idea, like he said keeping her memory alive. Talking about her might make it seem like she’s still with us... " *kind, empathetic, understanding*
Age: 36

Importance: Side at this point (used to be more main)
Accent: American (because Johnny)
Voice: Low-medium
Personality: Lilah is very motherly and cares about Johnny (and certainly not Cara), but she doesn't always understand what Johnny and Ford have, and this can affect the way she reacts towards Johnny's best friend.
First Appearance: Season 2 Episode 17
Lilah is the mother of two - Johnny (a sweet thirteen year old who is best friends with Ford - the protagonist), and Cara (a sadistic murderer). She cares about Johnny a lot, especially after his dad passed. She used to care about Cara until she started bullying people and created a bullying pact with her (then) best friend Eve. Lilah appears in S2E17 wanting to protect Johnny, because she knew he was being blackmailed. However, she knows she can't do much and is really upset after Johnny's in an accident. She doesn't want to lose anyone else dear to her.
She isn't angry when Johnny murders his own sister in S4E60 - because she almost burnt Ford's other best friend alive, and she knows Johnny did what he had to do to protect Ford and Freddie. However, she isn't prepared for him to run away since he's running from the police, this upsets her greatly (though not as greatly as it does her eleven year old niece Autumn). She just wants Johnny home. She's happy when he returns in S5E5.
Now her appearances are mainly just to support Johnny and Autumn.
" You could've just told me that she makes you uncomfortable, I understand, I don't like her either, not after what she did. " *caring, to Johnny about Cara*
" Ford needs a friend Freddie, and it looks like you're the only one that can be there for him... "
This is a backup role; the main is still here, but if anything were to happen then you would be able to step in.

Personality: Amanda is a main character. She used to pretend to be evil, but her now best friend Lilliana managed to get through to her.
First Appearance: Season 5 Episode 1
Amanda started off by working for her mother, Yvonne, against her cousin Ford. However, one of Ford's friend's, Lilliana, intervened and spoke to Amanda, trying to be kind. At first, Amanda brushed this off, rejecting Lilliana, but eventually she accepted it since Lilliana was the only person who'd ever actually gone over to her and been nice to /her/. Now, Amanda works with Sabrina and Mitzie to help Ford and Freddie.
" You hospitalised his friend, I don’t think his hatred for violence even comes into it anymore. Ford came home CRYING after he saw Freddie lying there. " *angry, annoyed, defensive*
" He’d do ANYTHING for Freddie, I think you’re good at underestimating people, Callia. " *genuine, annoyed*
" -Oh, uh, right! S-s-sorry! " *nervous, apologetic*
This is a backup role. Because Lena becomes more main in S8, I would like to have a backup to be on the safe side.

Personality: Lena is a lead character, she's kind and helpful and extremely close to Lilliana and will do anything and everything for her. However...that changes...
First Appearance: Season 4 Episode 1
Lena first arrives at her cousin's house (Freddie and Lilliana) after she hears of Lilliana's accident. She wants to help them, however neither Freddie or Lilliana want to know her at first, well until they warm to her. It's her that Lilliana calls when she's trapped in a burning building in the end, and Lena helps to save them, likewise how Lena helps to save Freddie at the end of season five, especially with how calm she remains and how she tries to keep Eve calm too. However, later on, she starts acting out, and this worries her parents, Tallulah and Ellis.
" Oh yeah it’s all about you, isn’t it?! Well, trust me, it ISN’T all about you. " *angry, frustrated*
" Leaving like a coward once again, Freddie? " *annoyed*
" I think it’s a bit too late for apologies... I’m doing Ford a favour here, he HATES you. " *almost smiling*
I'm very open to interpretation, although I'm very much a fan of EDM-sounding tracks, that are lively, but dramatic. You can use the S6E1 video linked on the audition to see the S6 intro sound track.
*Say something you think would fit*
