Roles

LeadSKYLERFemale 10 - 12 Years old
Description
Description: Smart, resourceful, and full of determination. Skyler’s room is a shrine to her two loves of Sports and Space, and when danger appears in the sky, she’s the first to take action. She’s a natural leader among her friends, quick-thinking under pressure, and deeply proud of her city.

Personality Traits: Brave, inventive, confident, loyal, a spark of humor under pressure.

Special Notes: Comfortable with physical action (running, biking, handling props). Strong facial expressions — we need to feel her determination, excitement, and relief for all scenes without dialogue.

SupportingFRIEND #1All 10 - 12 Years old
Description
Description: The "muscle" of the group — maybe literally strong, maybe just full of energy. Carries heavy gear, pushes the pace, and throws in a bit of comic relief with reactions.

Personality Traits: Energetic, enthusiastic, loyal sidekick energy, quick to help.

Special Notes: Comfortable carrying light gear/props and reacting physically to the action.
Role typeRoleGender & Age range
SupportingFRIEND #2All 10 - 12 Years old
Description
Description: The techie/tinkerer of the trio — handles wires, batteries, and cables to bring the SOS device to life. Slightly quirky and inventive, maybe cautious but comes through when it counts.

Personality Traits: Focused, a bit of a problem-solver, moments of shyness but determined.

Special Notes: Needs to be good with prop handling (connecting wires, “fixing” things), facial reactions to tense moments.
