It is still active, but going to call it unless everyone suddenly is motivated to change their vote. Looks like Lexi is getting an accent/dialect.

Picking out some options that I thought would be fun.

I'm going handle this with a bit of a soft touch, like Stephanies. Largely represented in a different font and color. With certain words and phrases and spellings peppered in to help solidify the feeling.

The main idea is to push her out of her comfort zone. She also has a lot of dialogue that you need to read for the story, so I'm not going to go full Gambit or Rogue on this making it difficult to follow. On that note something like Cockey Rhyming Slang isn't hitting the options as that would be nearly impossible to understand. Same with what ever Brad Pitt in Snatch's accent is supposed to be.

I think we will go with 6 options. 3 American accents and 2 international, but still english speaking, accents. One european general.

I'm also eliminating Californian/Valley Accent, for various reasons. Some of the word uses I kind of slip in as-is.

Since we do have an international audience, does anyone not know one or more of the options?

You did spike 'british' though 🤣😜

Natalia

Imagining Lexi as a tiny, frustrated Scottish girl with huge boobs is amusing to me.

roseleaf

Bwah ha ha. People would both think Steph and Lexi are from different countries. But very different experiences from people.

Mr. Domino

Well if we're going Scottish Lexi better grow her hair out and dye it red.

Natalia

Maybe get a bow and arrow and talk about fate all the time?

Mr. Domino

Nah, I've actually never watched Brave. We may as well just make her stereotypical.

roseleaf

It's a cute movie. Nothing groundbreaking, but a nice 90 mins. All Scottish cast, but I dont think anyone leans in too much.

Ravyn

I kind of figured she already had a long/ny accent, the upper Midwest would be super fun story wise

roseleaf

She has the look where I can see that accent, but we are middle of Ohio. So more neutral American.

Ravyn

she reminds of a character in anime where they decided the dub voice needs to sound like they are from Brooklyn

I’d vote for French if it comes with a maid outfit.

roseleaf

That a job skills vote. Lol
