crudi for Sadistic Seamstress
The Seamstress is a massive, sadistic, spider-like being made of needles and fabric. She is, for all intent and purposes, a monster. She could have a voice similar to how a snake might sound, with pronounced “S” sounds. Her tone may be sharp, cold and unwelcoming, though she shouldn’t sound actively hostile. She might have a European accent, but this is not necessary. One good reference for how I imagine the Seamstress to speak is “The Night Mother” from Skyrim. That whispered, malevolent, whispered tone suits her character very well. Another potential reference is Kaa from “The Jungle Book”. I’m open to creativity and ideas VAs may have about how she should sound. The Seamstress’ voice is the one I’m the least sure of, though I’m certain that she should sound adult or elderly, and her voice should be feminine at least to some extent.

Do you remember, fool Mary, when you’d bring me not just the clouds, but the drawings and schematics from the Voice Above The Sky? (Page 18)
It is but a soulless doll. It can understand, and it can feel… But its feelings are null and trivial. (Page 19)
