Day Sixteen

Voice in a character can be imagined by which role that person plays in the story. However, if the voice is given, then it can also describe which role that that person will play. For example, if an antagonist was to have a sweet voice, then one can assume that the antagonist is not a bad person, but someone who just seems to be the obstacle in the story. These are my ideas of the voices of my characters.

Princess Katsumi is a princess that everyone adores. She is a princess with grace so her voice is very sweet and elegant. It really describes her personality, because she is very calm. Her voice can calm the people around her.

Samurai Nobuo is a character of a heroic figure. He holds power in the community, so his voice is like a low, dreamy voice. He is also the lover of the princess, so I think that the voice that best fits him is like a strong voice, yet a gentle one.

Princess Donyoku is the step-sister of the crown princess. Her character is not a very bright one, and she can have a very greedy personality. I imagine that her voice would like an annoying, nasal voice. Her nasal voice can also have sort of a high-pitched sound to it, which I think will enchance that fact that she's already annoying and greedy.

Empress Neikan, the step-mother, is a very wicked lady. She is only a woman of wealth and everything she does is only for her own benefit. The voice that suits her best is a husky female voice that isn't so low yet not so high. The husky tone to her voice gives her power and a fierce-like character.

Emperor Osamu doesn't really speak a lot in the story, however his character is the ruler of the kingdom. So, his voice is a low, powerful, loud voice. With his voice, he can get the attention of his subjects. He has the voice of the ideal ruler with great power.

Samurai Tadashi, is the great friend of Samurai Nobuo. His character in the story is a helping friend. His voice isn't as strong as Samurai Nobuo, but he still has the gentle voice of a good friend. He has a brother-like voice that can comfort anyone in any situation.

Yoi Mahou is the good sorcerer, she is the one that helps the Empress Katsumi find her samurai when she goes to look for him. "Yoi" actually means good, so she also has the helper character. Her voice is like the voice of a loving mother that can comfort a crying baby.

"Kurai" means dark, so then Kurai Mahou is the dark sorcerer. She is very powerful and very and only like to do bad deeds. Her voice is like a witch voice. She has a very powerful, harsh voice that can scare off people.

This is an example of a dialouge that can happen between the two princesses:

Katsumi: Today is a dark day, however it is still another beautiful day, is it not?

Donyoku: Eh, I like today. There was no sun to damage my skin.

Katsumi: True, but the plants also needs sunlight to grow.

Donyoku: I think it's better when it rains, because it prevents me to go outside.

Katsumi: One must need sunlight in their life, for it will bring them strength and energy like in the plants and animals.

Donyoku: *scoffs* Who needs energy when you can just have servants to serve you?

Katsumi: *sighs* Well then, all I can say is that everyone needs rain and sunlight.

Donyoku: Yeah, yeah. Whatever!

I believe that voice in a character is what gives them their character and their personality. If the two princesses were to switch their voice, then their personalities probably would have changed too. So every character has their unique voice for their unique role in the story.
