The character is described as "bright, fearless, and focused".
Girls auditioning should bring a recent picture with a resume that includes birth date, height, parent/guardian contact information, and an explanation of any performing experience. They should be prepared to recite a poem or very short story (preferably in the style of author Roald Dahl, who wrote Matilda), and also have a short song to sing (bring sheet music).
