Frazzled mother of 2, burned out and doing her best. "I See You"
A small brown and white mouse. While usually polite and humble, he does have a bit of a sassy side that occasionally rears its head when faced with a certain kind of ignorance. He is extremely loyal to his family and his species as a whole and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. "Chain of Command"
The last remaining security guard at Brookside Atomic Laboratory, he's balding and has a slight beer gut. Although committed to doing right by the country he serves, he has a soft spot for small animals, particularly talking ones. He finds himself caught between following his own morals and the strict protocols of the laboratory. "Chain of Command"
The head of security at Brookside Atomic Laboratory, he's still in good physical shape, although he is beginning to show signs of aging. He does everything by the book, not because he believes in everything the military is doing, but because he likes to avoid unnecessary conflict at all costs. While strict and level-headed, he has a good sense of humor once you get to know him. "Chain of Command"
General (no pun intended) hard-ass military types, think Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men. "Chain of Command"
Hispanic/Chicano - Quietly ferocious, then bursting with sadness and vengeance, especially on a day of holy reckoning. "Penance"
Young girl (can be voiced by same adult actor voicing Lozen). "Penance"
Indigenous. A holy woman, and a fierce warrior ready to bless or kill. "Penance"
A cool-headed veteran of the Civil War and now in the Apache Wars. "Penance"
Anglo- world-weary, and relies on his will to overpower any who oppose him. "Penance"
