The voice actors add an extra layer of depth to the characters. Valeria Rodriguez, known for her role in Ranma ½, brings Rouge to life, while Kimoy Lee—whose work appears in Star Wars Visions—provides V’s voice.
Nazeeh Tarsha and Clancy Brown round out the team by portraying key figures that enrich the plot. The mix of international talent strengthens the series’ credibility on the global stage.
