CINDERELLA: A.K.A. ELLA C: A passionate, young woman whose mother passed away many years
ago. Her father was a genius quantum computer scientist who remarried Lady Zurka before he, too,
passed. Female Presenting

RUNKA: Constructed from video game computer parts, Runka is a robot made by Cinderella with her
father. They are her sassy, human-like, hunk-a-junk companion and protector, and they have a real
fondness for narrating Cinderella’s life over their livestreaming Instahologram feed. Runka is out of date
and in need of a serious upgrade, but they still have a few tricks up their mechanical sleeve. Any/All
Genders

LADY ZURKA/ROYAL ENGINEER/HIP HOP MASK BALL CONTESTANTS WINGNUT/AL
LOY/BAFFLER: Cinderella’s stepmother. She enjoys being mean and bossy to Cinderella and treats
Runka the Robot Rapper especially cruelly. One has to wonder whether all this anger might actually

stem from a deeply repressed jealousy of the love her late husband had for his daughter, and his
daughter for him. Perhaps there is a path to redemption after all. Female Presenting

ZIG/ROYAL ENGINEER: Lady Zurka’s vain and somewhat vapid daughter, giving off distinct valley girl
vibes. Her loftiest dream is to be an Instahologram “influencer”. Female Presenting

ZAG/ROYAL ENGINEER: Lady Zurka’s stuck up and selfish daughter, who fancies reading books cover
to cover (though not any of the pages in between), and who inexplicably started speaking with a British
accent at the age of five when she overheard it on the Great Galactic Bakeoff Show her mom used to
watch at night. Female Presenting

PRINCE: Heir to the throne of the Galactic Empire, he is an ineffectual but charming prince who is good
at little except cultivating Instahologram followers, throwing extravagant parties, and disappointing his
mother. He lives in the Hip Hop Palace on the capital planet Zolla. Male Presenting

AGGIE: The Empire’s galactic governing sentient supercomputer, existing purely in prop and voice-form.
They are depressed because the citizens of the Empire are not acting “cool” enough. Voiced by an
actual text-to-speech computer program. Any/All Genders
