The supercomputer in Jeremy’s head. On the surface, a cool, suave, all-knowing guru. In reality, a manipulative, dangerous grifter only invested in its own dominance. Vocal Range: F#2–Ab4
17. Passionate high school theater girl with ADHD. What she lacks in self-awareness and subtlety, she makes up for in personality and enthusiasm. Vocal Range: F3–D5
