7 roles
A nerdy, tomboy closeted in real life who is obsessed with Dungeons and Dragons, she is famous among the geek crowd at her school. In the world of D&D, she’s a level 20 Paladin, Healer of wounds, and protector of lights; aka not to be messed with. She’s spunky, powerful, and agile and brings young energy and a fresh spirit. She dies at the very start of the show. The character that shows up in the play is a creation of Agnes’s imagination.
Her DnD Character class: Demon Queen. Acts as her party’s muscle. Has probably been alive for eternity. Very hot and essentially Tilly’s girlfriend. Also very sarcastic, serious and self-aware. Think Gamora from “Guardians of the Galaxy.” In the real world, Lily is an average, modest teenager who wears glasses.
Her DnD Character is a Dark Elf. Acts as the party’s master tracker, lock picker, magic user, and all-around elven ass-kicker. She’s athletic, a way watcher, and a navigator. Very analytical. She gives off earthy vibes. In real life, she has cerebral palsy and uses forearm crutches to help her. Ronnie is her older brother.14
His DnD character is a red demon. Has probably been alive for eternity. Former Overlord of the Underworld and current couch potato. If there’s a lost soul, he’ll either have it or at least know where it is. He’s the comedic relief of the party. In the real world, Ronnie is a normal sloppy teenager, his sister is Kelly.
Character Class: Mage. Adventurer supreme. He is dorky both in D&D and the real world.
Evil succubi cheerleader and a great dancer. Tilly’s vision of pure evil; the epitome of fake-nice preppy girl. She appears as normal a cheerleader that tormented Tilly as well as a succubi cheerleader in the D&D game.
