Sirenroot - Deluge of Deceit
rabbitt for Cayrice Bentieve
A Breton scholar and mage, mother to two children. Looking to expand her knowledge and share it with the world. Slow-to-anger, attentive, caring. She initially traveled to the province in hopes that her predictions were correct- that there would be Ayleid ruins to study. She is persistent but gentle in asking for time to study any artifacts or writings. While under a trance, she begins to believe that her children have passed a long time ago, and wishes to stay in the Ayleid ruins to study it as it’s ‘what they would have wanted.’ It's possible to upset her, should the player pry too much.
Fairly loose requirements with accent, American - European, even French is fine.
I’m looking for duality with a happier tone, to a serious, near-angry delivery.
She has a lot of Elder Scrolls terminology in her lines, some words have tricky pronunciation. Don't be afraid of sounding goofy, it's easy to correct. Some help for her 2nd line here: "Mah-la, Ah-ral, Leh-rell-eye, Nen, Magic-ah, (Letter A)-lee-id.'
Envisioned Voices: [Breton Females - (Oblivion)], [Wynne - (Dragon Age)], [Lucien - (Skyrim)] (I’d like to point out his head voice transitions, I think they would be fitting.) These examples lean to an older voice, but I would not mind a younger sound.
Rough WIP wordcount: ~95 lines, ~1200 words (her lines tend to be a bit longer.)

(Player asks about her garments & gear, related to diving) Oh! It looks like a lot, doesn’t it? Don’t worry about me dear, I know a few tricks to keep all these books dry. Do let me know if you want me to cast the same spell on you.
(Player finds Cayrice for the first time in the ruins)(getting carried away with her interests) You’re here! I need someone to share with! Look, look- at this plaque here- key words, “Mala, Aral, Larelleis, Nen, Magicka,” Briefly, this details Ayleid royalty- a high one who watered the land with magicka for others to hear her song. Isn’t this fascinating? Dormant Ayleid magic!
(Player pushes too far, asking about her children while she is in a trance) (Tense, stern, gritting teeth, escalating, then quiet) I have spoken to you about this, prior. Please, stop pressing the matter. It’s.. sickening. Not another word.
