[HARRIET SMITH] She/Her, 20s-early 30s, any race or ethnicity. A deeply likable girl from the lower classes, who’s been given a basic education. A sweet, naturally affectionate human being, but not the brightest flame in the stove. A born enthusiast; the kind of person who leaps WAY before she looks. Has a strong tendency towards hero worship. A born follower. VERY impressionable. Has a desperate adoring friend crush on Emma. Wants to be in love. Gets flustered easily. A bit naïve.
[MR. KNIGHTLY] He/Him, 30s-40s, any race or ethnicity. A handsome man; a super charming man; an upright fellow. He’s also a bit of a rule-follower; maybe sometimes a bit of a stick in the mud. Very clever. Capable of getting ahead of himself and edging towards know-it-all. Can be competitive. Is preoccupied with Emma — they get under each other's skin in the most delightful way. Gets quite jealous of Frank Churchill. Has the best intentions. Feels deeply. A genuinely good guy. Ultimately learns to admit vulnerability and share his feelings.
[FRANK CHURCHILL / AS CAST] He/Him, 20s-30s, any race or ethnicity. An incredibly charming, handsome, mischievous flirt of a man — the kind of man who gets away with almost everything, because he’s so irresistible. Not a bad guy, really; just a bit too likable for his own good. Ladies love him. Funny. Gossipy. Clever. A little spoiled and manipulative. A bit unused to hearing “no,” and as a result, doesn’t really believe in “no.” Can be callous or unthinkingly cruel or self-indulgent. Wishes to reform, but can’t.... always.... help himself. Enjoys half truths and innuendo. Is, underneath everything, in love with Jane Fairfax — but that doesn’t mean other women become uninteresting to him. Doubles as ROBERT MARTIN — a sweet groundskeeper, in love with Harriet. Non-speaking. May also double as Mrs. Bates.
