FIONA
female, 20s-30s. The beautiful princess of Far Far Away, she transforms into an ogre every night when the sun sets. Rescued by Shrek and eventually falls in love with him. Quirky, blunt, and multitalented, she is not an ordinary princess. Vocal Range: F3 to G5

Imposing and flirtatious, but tired of her job as the glorified baby-sitter. Puppetry experience a plus. Vocal Range: F3 to Eb5
GINGY
