hc: assorted accents

kirsi has a sort of stereotypical queen's english ( received pronunciation ) voice, an accent that was trained into her as a young one. it is clearly practised, and she will sometimes slip into a more estuary-ish / cockney accent when she lets her guard down.

malinah has an accent reminiscent of a historic old norse accent ( courtesy of her mother ) but it's mostly smoothed out and covered by pirate fast talking. the closest modern equivalent sound is icelandic people speaking english.

naomi has a mexican-spanish accent - her manner of speaking is boxy and fast, sometimes with unnecessary rolled r's, particularly when speaking passionately. she is prone to spanglish ( which, i suppose would be common and some dialect of elven... unsure )

rajya has an egyptian arabic accent. as the term refers to an afro-asiatic language, it's not quite as easy to define the sound in english, which is why i've been providing links to the International Dialects of English Archive. in general, rajya sounds very regal when she speaks.
