AngeliqueSingsVA for Maelle
MAELLE, female, 16 years old
Maelle’s parents died when she was very young and she grew up in a series of foster homes, never fully fitting in, never feeling like she belonged.
She is a loner, fiercely independent, and untrusting of others, focused on survival. The one exception is Etan (above), her guardian and foster brother, whom she views as her only real friend. She can be cocky and competitive, preferring to be right rather than liked, and is sarcastic and a smart-aleck. She often uses this as a defense mechanism.
Vocal quality: sarcastic, full of attitude, doesn’t take shit
ETAN and MAELLE wander through a street carnival, surrounded by a boisterous crowd, singing, dancing, laughing, playing music and games. The energy is slightly manic, revelry tinged with grimness.
MAELLE
These people are giving me a headache.
ETAN
Has anyone told you you’re a grump? It’s a party!
MAELLE
(dryly) It’s a funeral.
ETAN
Technically the funeral part is tomorrow. Come’onnn! Enjoy yourself a little. It’s our last night in Lumiere.
MAELLE
Exactly. And I’m wasting it surrounded by idiots.
MAELLE
You’re my guardian. Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful. But. It’s not the same. I don’t belong here. This place is...it’s stifling. I know the odds are shit, but living free, really free, outside the dome, even for a few weeks or months? Sounds a hell of a lot better than nine more years stuck here. But it’s not like that for you.
ETAN
(grimly)
You have your reasons for leaving, and I have mine. Can we drop this? We’ve been over this before and we’re just going in circles.
(back to teasing)
You think you’re stubborn? Well I can be stubborn too.
Battle Dialogue - Nevron attack

MAELLE
Wait. I hear something.
LUNE
NEVRONS! RUN!!
ETAN
PUTAIN!
SCIEL
Maelle, behind you!
MAELLE
(loud grunt / forced exhale as she lifts sword to block an attack)
HUU-UGH! FUCK!
ETAN
(roar as he charges in to help MAELLE)
EUU-AAHHH!
LUNE
(summons her spirit animals and commands them)
TAKE THEM!
SCIEL
(steadily shooting arrows, urgent / intense but not frantic)
Three more approaching west!
