3 roles
Playing age 12 – 14 years old. She is the eldest of three children. Though she is wild, playful and bit bossy, she also has an adventurous and nurturing nature. She is very protective of her younger siblings but doesn’t hesitate to taunt them mischievously for her own enjoyment.
Playing age 10 – 12 years old. She is the middle child and unlike her older sister, is more reserved and apprehensive. She is a bit more hesitant to be adventurous and only leans into playfulness when she forgets her anxiousness. She is both protective of, and easily annoyed by her little brother, and often feels the need to remind everyone of common sense.
Playing age 6 – 8 years old. Malik sees the world for all its magic and wonder and often has difficulty grasping any sense of danger or seriousness. He is confident and curious, and wildly independent in his thinking. But he is also unquestionably trusting of his sisters, especially Evette.
