Futuristic Cinderella retelling: main characters

(approximations. Sadly I can't find a good picrew with mechanical wings 😞)

Phoenix Costello

they/them

Biromantic asexual, non-binary

21 years old

Has epilepsy

Cinderella role

Technician and engineer, with a pet robot. Has a sister somewhere, although they lost touch after Phoenix was disowned, and Phoenix misses her. Has an implant designed to help with their seizures, that has been malfunctioning since they started defaulting on the payments for its upkeep. Likes astronomy.

Santhiya Choudhary

she/her

Pansexual, cis woman

21 years old

Prince role

Princess, born into the role although her family hasn't always been royalty. Hindu and speaks a little [planetary system] Tamil, Sri Lankan family way back when they lived on earth (it's mostly just family legends now, although there is a cookbook). In a QPR with Brynn. Nicknamed Santh by Brynn and later Phoenix.

Kai Bergström

he/him

Cishet man

26 years old

Technician for the royal family. Spends a decent amount of time buying from Phoenix's shop, and is constantly covered in grime. Phoenix's best (and only) friend. Uses [planetary system] Swedish nicknames when people he loves are in distress.

Brynn Carmichael

she/her

Aroace, trans woman

21 years old

Has a stutter and anxiety

In a QPR with Santhiya, and has been her best friend since they were children. She lives in the palace and has a bird called Horus. Works in the palace aviary.

Aaron Thomas

he/they

Gay asexual, trans man

35 years old

Fairy godmother role

Part-time fairy godfather and medic. Works too hard and has to be pushed into taking time off. His wings are made from Phoenix's blueprint. Incredibly oblivious when someone's fallen in love with him.

Morfydd Llewellyn

they/them

Queer, demigirl

33 years old

Ambulatory wheelchair user, easily overstimulated

Fairy godmother role

Fairy godmother. Their wings are made from Phoenix's blueprint. Enjoys helping people, although they have to wear ear defenders to do so as they get overstimulated easily (which causes migraines and breakdowns and all that fun stuff). Speaks Archaic Welsh without realising it when she's distressed or angry.

Abbie Graham

she/her

Cishet woman

27 years old

Evil stepmother role

Manages the shop where she, Indigo, Segun, and Phoenix work. Abusive towards Phoenix, physically, verbally and mentally (though Phoenix's parents certainly set the stage mentally). Rich, this job is just a hobby for them. Big fan of fashion.

Indigo Bron

she/they

Queer

29 years old

Dyslexic

Evil stepsister role

Technician and engineer, she works with Phoenix on new designs. She has a very bad relationship with her family (especially her dad) and honestly, some of the jabs Abbie makes about Phoenix's family are going way too far. On the verge of leaving tbh. But they don't exactly feel sorry for Phoenix, or help them deliberately (they're abusive themself, at times), the comments are just... poking at a sore spot.

Segun Adu

he/him

Cishet man

25 years old

Evil stepsister role

Works in the machine shop, testing the new builds. Mainly stress-testing for designs that need it. Enjoys doing this, and partaking in and watching shuttle racing. Likes getting Phoenix to do menial jobs for him, and getting them into accidents. Pretty abusive, and although he follows Abbie's lead he'd definitely abuse them on his own anyway.
