MAIN ROLE

(first appears in Episode 2)

Ellis is a nonbinary teenager and a traveler who is on the run from a difficult home life.  They stumble into the tavern on a quiet country road and stay after Amara insists on it, much to the Keeper's displeasure.

Initially apologetic, withdrawn, and a bit naive, they eventually learn to trust others and theirself, and grow immensely as a character.  Ellis struggles with anxiety and often lets the others take the lead when things become too much to handle.

Ellis is helpful by nature, but they strongly dislike conflict and seeks to avoid it wherever possible.

From the beginning, they represent a mediative presence in the tavern.  With Amara and the Keeper constantly butting heads, Ellis often finds theirself on the outskirts of their disagreements.

However, they often prove to be the most emotionally mature of the three people living in the tavern.  They become a surrogate younger sibling for Amara, who sticks to them like glue.

Their age range is anywhere between 14-19 years old.  Ellis is open to any actor regardless of identity or background, but non-binary actors are strongly preferred.

Each episode will be rehearsed during a live remote table read with the other actors, director, and producer in order to provide notes and feedback.  A secondary recording session will then be scheduled so the actors can interact and record their final takes.  If necessary, pickups will be requested outside of the scheduled calls.

The goal will be to have as many actors as possible present for the reads to make the acting feel natural and believable, but scheduling will be flexible to accommodate each actor's availability.
