Must be comfortable learning simple dance moves and executing emotions while wearing a mascot/character costume. No specific age, but should feel like a young adult woman. Blue fur, presumed to belong to (and be part of) Black American culture.
Thelma is the kind of kids' program character that provides viewers of all ages with the energy of Gracie’s Corner while providing the warmth and mental health appeal of Sesame Street. Thelma’s signature theme song is called “I Have a Friend” because her whole spiel is that life is one big circle. To her, if one person believes in you, even if that one person is yourself, all that love and believing goes right back to the version of you that needed that love in the first place. For the film’s central character, Maya, this is her younger self, who was first sexually abused when she was five. Appearance: A life-size furry, cerulean blue muppet-type figure with copper pigtails. Key movement: playful, empathetic (embodied through nodding and understanding “mhms”). This onscreen role is ideal for an actor, with a background in movement art: dance, stage performance.
