✘ What does this character's voice sound like? High-pitched, deep, hoarse? → She actually sounds a lot softer in tone than you'd expect her to be. I tend to go with her sounding a bit like her PB, Jena Malone, albeit a few dissimilarities. Mostly in that she sounded more stiff and robotic at first. Since her recent canon update, though, she's gone through some drastic changes, and probably sounds a lot more like she does in that short movie, Dakota. She's mostly different now in that Rey may curse sometimes when she gets genuinely upset, and can actually express that she's upset in the first place. A rare and amazing new feat, really.
Of course, Jena Malone has also said "I can kill you with one hand!" in a sweet voice during an interview one time, which kind of makes me feel like I chose the perfect PB for her voice, if nothing else.
✘ How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate?
✘ Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? → So yeah, normally she's got a West Coast American-sounding accent most of the time, but she's familiar with a variety of languages and is more than capable of faking an accent if she really wanted to. Irish, British, German, Russian, she'll actually play the part if she has to. Seventy years of inserted memories and espionage isn't entirely wasted on a singular identity and all.
✘ What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency? → As mentioned above, she has been able to fake her own identity, which allowed her the ability to speak a variety of different languages. English, German, and Russian are a given. But others would include Spanish, French, and Arabic.
✘ Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations? Not really.
✘ Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words?
✘ Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change?
