Sydney Whittington

Pronouns: She/Her

Character: Cassidy Shard

Editor

Sydney’s skills and experience tend towards the written word and written code (in her day job as a computer scientist). In this case, though, her latent passions for voice acting and audio engineering are finally getting a chance to mature. When not working on this show, Sydney really just wants to be climbing things out in nature, with a side of trying not to be bad at video games. She is also a transfemme lesbian, who was male-presenting in early episodes, and she still enjoys making use of that extra vocal range, on occasion. Sydney currently lives in central Texas, with her two cats, Cam and Korra.

Kit Adames is a full-time student currently studying for a bachelor's degree in theatre, and spends any free time being an avid artist, aspiring voice actor, and sometimes a person.
