Young adult female: Katerina

Young adult female, late teens to early twenties. Soft, breathy, and lyrical vocal texture. Russian-inflected or standard theatrical accent. High emotional tension, speaking in a hushed, intimate, and rapid pace as if whispering secrets. Vulnerable, earnest, and deeply romantic. The voice carries the weight of a sleepless night and the frantic energy of a first confession.

Script: I told myself I would sleep, but your name kept moving through the candlelight, and now my heart is writing faster than my hands can follow, as if dawn itself might steal the courage from me.
