The Lunar Chronicles: The Audio Drama (NEW ROLES!)
Dolly for Iko
Despite being an android, Iko's emotions almost perfectly depict those of a human due to a faulty personality chip. Iko has a heart of mechanized gold and is extremely happy, sweet, and chipper. She is interested in fashion, specifically beauty, and constantly daydreams about having a humanoid body so she can wear the finery Cinder’s stepsisters wear.
We encourage BIPOC actors to apply for this role. Thank you.

Context for Line 1- Iko is trying to sneak into an event at the New Beijing palace. She needs the clothes that another Android is wearing: "I want you to know that I hold nothing against you. I understand that it isn’t your fault your programmer had so little imagination. In another life, we could have been sisters, and I feel it’s important to acknowledge that. But as it stands, I’m a part of an important mission right now, and I cannot be swayed from my goal by my sympathy for androids who are less advanced than me."
Context for Line 2- Iko is arriving at Cinder’s mechanic booth with her new cyborg foot: "Cinder! It’s Iko! I’ve got your new foot! It’s a huge improvement over the old one, lightly used, and the wiring looks compatible. Plus, drumroll, please… I was able to get the dealer down to just 600 univs!"
