Sujata Day as Elysie "Lee-Lee" Blake
|
A lover of nature and the
occult, Lee-Lee is a doctoral student indirectly studying her
origins. She’s friendly, inquisitive, and blessed with unique abilities. Her
gifts allow her to be a conduit for supernatural forces. Supported
by her skinflint father, yet sustained by her understanding mother, Lee-Lee is
determined to know who and what she is.

Lee-Lee came back inside and sat down at the
table. Monica looked at her. “Your mail’s on the
counter. What kind of plant was that you just brought in?”
“A
bamboo. Are you all right?”
Monica
checked her email. “I’m fine. Mama wants to know if you’d
be interested in judging the next Cookie Throwdown.” She put the
textbook on her desk.
A
grin split Lee-Lee’s face, as she remembered Monica and Chris returning to
Six-B five months ago with covered containers full of
cookies. Monica nodded her head. “I’ll take that as a
yes.”
“I
would love to be a judge! That means I can get all
the cookies I want, right?”
“Yep.”
“Count
me in!”
“Lee-Lee,
you don’t even know when it is. You may have a deadline or something.”
“And
I don’t care! Those cookies you brought home last time were
fantastic! Whatever’s going on at that time, I’ll schedule around
it!”
“Fine. By
the way, I’m expected to contribute this time.”
“Awesome!”
“Lee-Lee,
it is not awesome. I don’t know how to bake, not at that
level. I’ve got some straight-up hardcore pastry chefs in my
family. Uncle Bunny’s cookies are no freaking joke and Jump’s ain’t
nothing to sneeze at either. Mama can put her foot in some cookie
dough too. I’m out of my league.”
Her
roommate was very excited. “That’s okay! We can come up
with something, I’m sure! I’ll ask Mati! I’ll help
you!” Mati was Lee-Lee’s mother.
Monica
shook her head as she looked at Lee-Lee, who was opening her mail with all the
enthusiasm of a teenage girl. “I know Mati has a
bunch of cookie recipes. Who are you going up against?”
