A Girl's Element

A Girl's Element is an Australian-British-French live-action/animated hybrid tween fantasy dramedy musical series. It is created by Jonathan M Shiff, best known for his work on H20: Just Add Water.

SYNOPSIS
A group of 12-13 year old girls from a small but urban Australian island get lost in the woods while hanging out, but eventually stumble across strange and supernatural beings, and while trying to fend for themselves, eventually realise they have supernatural elemental powers, and with the help of a few other new friends they not only must make sure they don’t seep into their town and become stronger while doing so, but also must make sure no one finds out about their strange powers while going through every day high school life.

THE ELEMENTGIRLS
Shanelle Roquawri (Played By: Majeda Beatty): A 12 year old girl of Indigenous descent. She is a rebellious, sporty and optimistic girl who is not only ready to have a bit of fun in her life even if it means causing a bit of mischief and trouble, but never takes no for an answer. She loves netball and wants to be an all star player. But she’s not all rough and tough as she loves jamming to the latest pop beats and always keeps up with the latest shopping. Her birthday is November 2nd (Scorpio) and her element is water, but later on in the series she also is able to use the powers of ice and snow.

Lily Ve-Ngot (Played By: Linda Ngo): A 13 year old girl of Vietnamese descent. She is an extroverted, extremely talkative, supportive and very girly fashionista (Even with her very hot temper) who though may seem to have a bratty demeanour is actually as sweet as can be. Though fashion is a priority for her and always wants to look her best, freaking out if not, her favourite hobby is actually acro dancing and wants to be a famous dancer. Her birthday is April 17th (Aries) and her element is fire, but later on in the series she also is able to use the powers of lava and can even evaporate things.

Rosa Di-McDonald (Played By: Ivy Latimer): A 13 year old girl of mixed Italian-British descent. Though very selfless, respectful, smart and will even show a sense of justice, she’s an introverted tomboy who though is not fond of what other girls like, doesn’t mind them anyway. However, despite her cool, calm and collected nature, she’s actually a huge empathiser and hates seeing others upset and tries her best to help. In her eyes striving is to improve, not perfection in her work and wants to be a writer. Her birthday is September 8th (Virgo) and her element is the earth, but later on in the series she can use the power of nature, plants and acid.

Harriet Horner (Played By: Shailene Woodley): Introduced in season 3. A 14 year old girl of American-Australian descent. She’s shy, compassionate but also has a witty sense of humour. But she doesn’t like to come out of her shell and is easily scared. But that doesn’t mean she’s afraid of everything, even in the most dangerous of times she will stand up for herself and others and fight back. She is also very creative and wants to be an artist when she grows up. Her birthday is January 30th (Aquarius) and her element is air, but later on in the series she can use the power of the wind, weather and even energy.

THE DEMIGODS (NOTE: ANIMATED WITH CGI)
Aquata (Voiced By: John Hasler): The demigod of water and a mentor for Shanelle. However his personality is almost the complete opposite of her’s. He is actually extremely compassionate, smart, always makes sure rules are in place and goes as far as to think he’s a “leader”, obtaining that complex in a way.

Pyro (Voiced By: Nigel Pilkington): The demigod of fire and a mentor for Lily. His personality is quite similar to Lily’s. A dramatic and vain demigod who cares more for appearance, but has a beautiful heart of gold and an extremely fiery temper. However at times he can be a bit more selfish than Lily, but that’s only for insecurity reasons. He eventually improves himself as the series goes on.

Terra (Voiced By: Maria Darling): The demigod of earth and a mentor for Rosa. Her personality is quite similar to Rosa. She’s obedient, smart, calm and collected. However, she is more laidback as opposed to Rosa and wants everyone to “Chill out” and think of a solution even in dangerous situations. Almost retaining a gothic personality.

Aria (Voiced By: Naomi MacDonald): The demigod of air and a mentor for Harriet. Her personality is almost the complete opposite of Harriet. She’s more upbeat, energetic, witty and always ready to have fun. However, she can jump to conclusions very easily and doesn’t think before she does something. But is very courageous.

SUPPORTING CHARACTERS
Liam Dwirenaught (Played By: Sean Keenan): A 13 year old boy of Scottish-Australian descent. The main supporting character who helps secure the girls identities and helps fight along side them. Though not the brightest kid, always jumps to conclusions and even mischievous and annoying some times, he is an outgoing, energetic and a street-smart kid who can't get enough of soccer. At the start of season 2, he begins developing a crush for Shanelle.

Willow Le-Monique Ellis (Played By: Marny Kennedy): A 17 year old girl of Belgian-Australian descent and a main enemy of the girls. She is a typical mean girl who comes from a very wealthy family, and makes fun and bully those who feel are inferior to her when it comes to fashion sense and beauty. She can also act very stuck up and makes sure she always gets her way when she fails, even if it means doing things that go against school rules. Her actions are what can drive conflict for the girls in many episodes.

Tanya Manilianka (Played By: Maia Mitchell): A 17 year old girl of Turkish-Australian descent and a sidekick for Willow. Tanya goes along with what Willow does almost every single time and serves as a right hand girl to Willow's tricks. Despite being considered her "Friend", Tanya is often another punching bag for Willow to make fun of and berate whenever she gets on her nerves. Unlike Willow, Tanya seems to be more aware of her actions and is more sympathetic towards the girls.
