About the Job

Character is a Black, AAPI, Latino, White, MENASA, Native, or Indigenous 11, 12, or 13-year-old boy. Mario is an outsider by default, thoughtful, earnest, and wired a little differently than the kids around him. He experiences synesthesia, sensing the world through overlapping colors, sounds, and emotions, which makes Aurora’s abilities immediately legible to him in a way no one else’s are. Even though Mario has a quiet confidence, he has never quite fit in: not because he lacks social awareness, not because he has red hair, freckles, and braces, but because he’s too direct in a world that rewards performance and clout-chasing. He genuinely wants to belong and understand his peers, and teams up with Aurora to decode school hierarchies, friendships, and social rules together. Cynthia, surprisingly, finds Mario’s straightforwardness refreshing and grounding. SUPPORTING. Rate: $307.50 +10%/day
